Standing on a board of nails is not something to book casually, and it is not something to be afraid of either. Done properly, it is a fully guided practice with preparation, facilitation and integration built in. Done carelessly, it is an endurance test that teaches nobody anything.
The booking process reflects that difference. In Mexico City, a private Sadhu board session with Julia Klykova is arranged in three steps, with one conversation that should happen before you confirm anything.
Step 1: Reach Out
Message Julia on WhatsApp at +52 55 3971 9870, or email july.picture@gmail.com. You can also book a time in the calendar.
Tell her what is bringing you here. A sentence is enough. With Sadhu board work, people usually arrive with something specific: a fear they keep circling, a pattern they can see clearly and still cannot shift, a decision they have been avoiding. Say that. It shapes everything about how the session is built.
Step 2: Have the Conversation Before You Book
This step is specific to Sadhu board work and it is the one to take seriously.
If you are dealing with something difficult right now, tell Julia about it before booking. Her facilitation is trauma-informed and there is no forced catharsis at any point, but an honest conversation first makes sure this is the right support for you right now.
That conversation may confirm the Sadhu board is exactly right. It may also point toward starting with a private sound healing session or a private somatic session instead, and coming to the board later. A facilitator who books you regardless of what you tell them is not doing the work properly.
Two things worth knowing going in:
- It is intense, and it is not damaging. Julia prepares you thoroughly with breathwork and grounding before you step on, and guides you through every second of it. You control how long you stand and when you step off, always.
- This is not therapy. It is somatic and sound-based facilitation. It works alongside therapy rather than replacing it, and many clients do both.
Step 3: Shape the Session
Once the fit is clear, you agree the practical details together.
The format. The Sadhu Board Experience runs 90 to 120 minutes, from $150 USD. It is a fully guided practice, not a solo test. The session includes intention setting and emotional inquiry, grounding preparation and breathwork, nervous system regulation, fully guided nail standing, facilitation through resistance, and sound healing integration. Julia guides every step, breath by breath and sensation by sensation.
The place. Either your home, anywhere in Mexico City, or the studio in the city centre. Julia brings everything to your home, or you meet at the studio. You bring nothing but yourself.
The time. Agreed directly between you. All sessions are in person within Mexico City. There are no online sessions.
Julia confirms all details with you personally before anything is final.
Choosing Between Your Home and the Studio
Choose your home if you want to meet something difficult in a place your body already trusts, and you do not want to travel across Mexico City afterwards while still integrating. Julia carries the full setup to you. Home sessions include transport, which is why pricing varies slightly by location.
Choose the studio if your home is not somewhere you can fully let go, or you prefer a dedicated container separate from your daily environment. At the studio everything is provided, including a mat and blanket.
What to Prepare
- What to bring: Nothing. At the studio everything is provided. At home, Julia brings what is needed.
- What to wear: Whatever is comfortable.
- What to expect afterwards: The nail standing is followed by sound healing integration. You are not sent back into your day straight off the board.
- Language: English, Spanish or Russian. Confirm your preference when you reach out.
How Payment Works
There is no payment on the website. You message Julia or book a time, you confirm the details together, and payment is arranged directly. The Sadhu Board Experience starts from $150 USD, with the final price depending on location and format. Discounts are available on three sessions or more.
Why Julia Facilitates It This Way
The board itself is not the practice. What happens on it depends entirely on who is holding the room and how steady they stay when something difficult surfaces.
Julia is a certified transformational facilitator, sound therapist and Sadhu board practitioner with over 15 years of practice in yoga, breathwork, somatic and embodiment work, and has guided 100 or more clients. She draws on four modalities in one practice: sound healing, somatic work, Sadhu board and breathwork. Most practitioners offer one. That range is what allows the board work to be prepared for properly and integrated afterwards rather than left raw.
Her facilitation is trauma-informed throughout. No forced catharsis, no pushing anyone past a boundary. You control the pace.
One client described a sound healing and Sadhu board session this way:
"I was really nervous at first, but the way Julia guided us step by step made it all feel possible. Her calm presence and the sound helped me go deeper into the experience than I ever expected."
