Vādma practitioner, neuro-somatic sessions, Singapore
Sherman Koh is an integrative practitioner whose work lives where emotional healing, personal leadership and the exploration of consciousness meet. An ICF-certified coach and Vādma practitioner, he specialises in holding people through deep emotional catharsis, non-ordinary states of consciousness and body-based healing.[8]
Vādma is a neuro-somatic practice that down-regulates the nervous system within a short period of time, so the body can let go of stress it has carried for a long time and come back to calm.[3][8] Nothing is asked of the person receiving it. No preparation is needed, and the body expresses whatever it needs to, in whatever way it needs to.[1] His own line for it: "When your body is ready to release what words can't reach."[1]
He works from Singapore and also takes applications for sessions in Chiang Mai.[2][5] Sessions are by application and kept few, so that each person has his full attention.[1]
His path began in his teens, when he struggled with self-worth, depression and severe social anxiety. The years of feeling unseen and unsafe in his own body eventually led him into dedicated personal and transformational work. That lived understanding is the ground beneath everything he offers.[8]
More than sixteen years of dedicated inner work brought him home to his own body, and now he does the same for others. Today he facilitates sessions and ceremonies that support people to meet their edges and reclaim the parts they were taught to leave behind. What they feel most in his presence is room: a clearing, enough to be honest, to fall apart, and to come back together whole.[8]
Above all, he holds a vision of a world grounded in kindness, courage, authenticity, and the felt sense of our shared connection and oneness.[8]
Sherman is a certified coach with the International Coach Federation (ICF), a graduate of process-oriented psychology with the Process Work Institute, and an IEQ9-certified Enneagram coach, all while building a distinguished career as a Private Wealth Consultant with an international wealth management company.[8][7]
Outside all of this, he volunteered with the Deaf community, working to close the gap between people who hear and people who do not.[7]
A session is a full ritual of about two hours, given in person by a certified practitioner.[4] It starts with arriving into the space, then a short conversation about the process, the five levels of Vādma, and an integration process.[1][8]
Vādma works by activating a precise polyvagal, neuro-somatic gateway in the body, where the body's cardiovascular system, sympathetic response and parasympathetic regulation converge.[4][8] The practitioner guides the person through a simple process, and their nervous system and body naturally express whatever needs to be expressed, however it needs to be. No prior preparation is needed. Simply arrive as you are.[1]
What people report afterwards runs from deep relaxation and emotional lightness to clarity, a stronger mind-body connection, and a "no-mind" state of being.[1]
Vādma was brought together by Kevin Libawski, who trains and certifies its practitioners through the Vādma Institute.[4] It draws on Ayurveda above all, alongside modern neuroscience, and a full treatment brings massage and touch, breath, energy work, light, scent and integration into a single session in person.[4]
The Institute has begun measuring sessions with heart rate variability, and its early readings show the body moving out of fight or flight and into rest. It says itself that the numbers are few, and meant to guide research rather than settle anything.[6]
