India Bee, Founder of the Bee Restful Barn in San Diego, CA.  Nervous System & Rest Guide | Mindfulness Mentor | Supporting Women & Leaders to Lead, Rest, and Thrive

Hi, I'm India 🐝

Fifteen years ago I made a complete and wholehearted commitment to this path. Not as a career pivot. As a calling. I have spent over two decades in devoted study and practice, training with some of the most respected teachers in the fields of yoga nidra, mindfulness, somatics, and trauma-informed care, including Jack Kornfield, Tara Brach, Kamini Desai, Indu Arora, and Hala Khouri.

Today, I offer 1:1 and group mindfulness mentoring, held online, hybrid, and in person at the Bee Restful Barn, my private sanctuary in San Diego, CA.

This study has also meant doing my own anti-racism and decolonizing work, examining my own privilege and positionality so I can hold space with integrity across difference.

I have walked through childhood trauma, profound grief, and the kind of loss that reorganizes you from the inside out. I have used every tool I now offer you, not only in a classroom, but in the hardest moments of my own life. Yoga nidra held me when nothing else could. The earth steadied me when I had no ground. The body, my body, showed me what the mind could not yet understand.

Which brings me to what I most want you to know:

Your body holds extraordinary wisdom.

More than you've been given credit for. More than the pace of your life has allowed you to access. My mentoring is not about "fixing" you. It is about creating the conditions for you to reconnect with what is already inside you, that place of deep inner knowing that has been waiting, patiently, for you to slow down enough to hear it.

The results of this work are profound. Clients experience the kind of nervous system restoration, emotional release, and inner clarity that many have only found, if at all, after years of therapy. This is not an accident. It is the result of practices that are ancient, evidence-based, and held with deep care and devotion.

Through my life's work, from supporting women entrepreneurs globally to mentoring women 1:1 and in groups, I've come to know that when women rest, the world changes. Rest is not passive. It is a radical act. And the women who work with me carry something different back into the world.

I'm here to hold space for you, through mentoring, 1:1 or in a group, wherever you are.

Are you ready to begin? 🐝

Who I work with

This work is for women, including trans women and non-binary people, who are ready to slow down and be supported in a more intentional way. You might be navigating burnout, grief, anxiety, or a life transition. You might be a leader, entrepreneur, or creative who needs genuine stillness to access what's next. You might simply know something needs to change — even if you can't yet name what.

All of that is welcome here.

This is a space committed to accountability, ongoing learning, and repair, where harm is taken seriously and addressed with care.

A gentle note

The work I offer is restorative and deeply supportive, and it is not a replacement for medical, psychological, or addiction treatment. Out of care for your wellbeing, I'm not currently able to work with individuals who are in active addiction or require acute clinical support. If that's where you are right now, you deserve specialized care, and I'm happy to help point you toward it.
