Get to know Ambika
I am in love with the mystery of being alive. My greatest joy is guiding others to rediscover their natural rhythm — that quiet, knowing place beneath the noise of thought.
My passion weaves through every story I tell, every page I write, and every moment I share with an audience. Whether I’m speaking, painting, singing, or teaching, I invite people into a deeper conversation with themselves — one where the mind softens, the heart opens, and peace becomes a lived experience.
I am most fulfilled when someone looks at me with awe and says, “I finally felt stillness.” These moments remind me that the path of guiding others inward is sacred.
What nourishes me? Watching the sky change colors. Digging in the soil with my bare hands. Gliding through antique cities and admiring their architecture. Singing while bouncing on my trampoline. Sharing soulful meals with new friends. Smelling jasmine on the wind and skating like no one is watching.
When I was in ninth grade, my English teacher told me I would never amount to anything. I struggled deeply with spelling and felt defeated by language — until I was given a gift that changed everything: meditation. Introduced to it at age six, I learned early on how to witness thought rather than be ruled by it. That single shift became the compass for my life.
Years later, the computer helped bridge what once seemed impossible, and I now stand as the author of six award-winning and bestselling books, released through my independent publishing label.
My sixth book is a meditation on love: the kind we give, the kind we seek, and the kind we must cultivate within ourselves to truly receive it. Through friendship, family, and heartbreak, I’ve discovered that self-love is not optional — it’s the foundation of everything.
Today, I teach others how to tame the mind, reframe thought, and unlock the stories waiting inside them — stories of healing, purpose, and peace.

That was amazing!!! Thank you; I feel so much better. I’ve tried to meditate in years past, and it never worked. I could never settle my brain enough to even focus on breathing. I could feel the stress leave my body, mind, and soul! You have a true gift I can’t wait to share with my sister-in-law. I’ve never been able to settle my mind to meditate, and you did it. Thank you!

Ambika presented at one of my workshops on Finding Peace and her knowledge and energy were captivating. She engaged with the audience, provided valuable tools, and used humor to help keep the audience captivated. She has decades of experience and training that helps her tell beautiful and incredible stories that not only entertain but teach. She is a gem.

Ambika Devi has spoken at my events twice now. The Q&A sessions were vibrant and meaningful. Each time the attendees were riveted by her every word, the Q&A sessions were vibrant and meaningful. She is knowledgeable, and lively, and knows how to engage and speak without slides! I consider that a premium bonus. I have had the pleasure of hearing her speak on other platforms and she has a broad repertoire of topics where she can speak with authority, clarity, and energy.

I met Ambika Devi via an interview for my podcast associated with my publishing company, Prolific Pulse Press LLC. As a guest, Ambika talked about her book “Cupid is a Bastard.” She shared extensive background information about how this book came to be and she read some poems included in this amazing book. What really stood out to me was Ambika’s personable demeanor. She is highly knowledgeable about writing, recording, and producing. Her presentation was entertaining, resulting in the perfect show for the production of the podcast. Since we were recording on both video and audio, the video appeal was a perfect setting and the audio carried through well. Since the podcast, I have joined the Writer’s Salon, which Ambika introduced me to in the podcast. This virtual writing group has been a tremendous help with feedback and inspiration for writing. Ambika has been a steadfast member of this group and serves well to support other group members. One more thing about Ambika is that she is a constant resource for writers and artists who desire to produce their works.
