ABOUT
About Mila also known as Urmila Patel
She is the published author of two books, a certified NLP Life coach, a Usui Reiki Master, a Karuna Master, and a Yoga Therapist.
Her first book, “Out of Uganda in 90 Days”, released in August of 2014, was a major stepping stone that helped her reconnect with her true self.
She was born in India in a Hindu family. When she was a toddler, her parents moved to Uganda, East Africa, where her father taught history, and her mother was a housewife.
She grew up in a country that seemed safe until a vicious dictator, Idi Amin, seized power and expelled all Asians from the country. Her mother fled with her siblings and her to India. She was entering her passage into womanhood when her Life was torn apart.
While escaping at age 14, She wrote her first account of their lives under the brutal dictator and their escape; it had been deep in her heart ever since, and all these years, she yearned to tell my story to the world.
Her Life is whole and rich, and she calls herself a citizen of the world. Moving from Uganda to India to Belgium and now residing in sunny California, enduring each country’s cultures, lifestyle, food, climate, and language, she realized that all humans are interconnected and are searching for good health and happiness.
In 2012, while writing the draft and seeking a message for her book, “why am I writing,” she took a Life coaching course (Academy of Coaching & NLP; California) to find the answer. The universe opened its doors. She took the Reiki courses (Reiki I & II by Reiki Mastery, CA in 2012, Reiki Master and Usui/Holy Fire Reiki Ryoho by Reiki mastery, CA in 2012,2014, Kaurna Reiki by Inter Reiki, CA in 2020).
When she saw some of her client’s in her formal business (mailing and shipping) continuously in a stressed-out state, she started giving yoga classes which made her complete the Yoga teachers training course (Vivekananda Yoga Anusandhana Samsthana. Bangalore, India, conducted by Yoga Bharati, CA in 2016), and later dived deeper to receive a Yoga Therapy diploma, (Yoga Bharati CA and Vivekananda Yoga Anusandhana Samsthana. Bangalore, India in 2021)
She firmly believes in the inner ability we all possess for self-healing. Her personal experience of a healthy lifestyle has prevented her from serious medical issues. She uses her passion and expertise to radiate them by sharing sustainable stress management practices, managing diabetes, and lower back issues, recovering female physical problems, and more.
Her goal is to bring awareness to a healthy lifestyle. Using the knowledge and techniques from the ancient art of healing, she helps uplift and empowers survivors of domestic violence at local non-profit organizations in California to build a life of respect and freedom in their journey.
Her teachings are grounded in a traditional lineage of Usui Reiki master for Reiki and Sage Patanjali and Swami Vivekananda for Yoga. You will learn some of the healing techniques of how to transform your lives for the better and live your life fully balanced in mind, body, and spirit. She conducts Reiki and Yoga Therapy classes in the Bay area and Monterey County in her home studio and worldwide online to help her clients overcome fear, build confidence, transcend old non-useful belief patterns, acquire self-awareness, and manage and recover from any chronic ailment to live in peace and harmony.
She walks her spiritual path and helps women walk their path by releasing fear.
Her second book, Mila Rising, was published in 2021
