Master the deepest,
most profound polyvagal neuro-somatic modality

Unlike modalities that regulate the nervous system indirectly, Vādma uses a precise, touch-based neuro-somatic protocol designed to access the system directly. Breathwork, somatics and bodywork each work with one element, while Vādma is a full ritual that brings several together: massage and sacred touch, breath, energy work, light technology, scent and integration. Breath is part of it, but Vādma is not breathwork. It does not depend on intense breathing, visualization, substances, or prolonged effort from the client. Physical touch is essential for a Vādma treatment to work, so every session is given in person by a certified practitioner. A full treatment has 5 stages, takes about 2 hours and works with the body’s energetic points, without needles. Vādma is a synthesis of ancient lineages from India and the West, with its main essence coming from Ayurveda, combined with modern neuroscience, and it is taught only by the Vādma Institute.

Yes. This is not a “magical” claim; it is a biological reality. The human body is designed to shift states instantly in response to specific triggers, such as the fight-or-flight response. Vādma uses precise, non-invasive protocols to trigger the opposite response, an instant return to a baseline state of calm. Early pilot research recorded heart rate variability (HRV) with ECG immediately before and after one session of about 90 minutes, with participants in the UAE and Mexico. In all participants who reached the deep phase of the session, the Baevsky stress index (a measure of how stressed the nervous system is) fell by 36 to 49% and resting heart rate dropped by 3 to 19%. In plain words: the body moved out of fight-or-flight stress into its healing, resting and digesting state, the parasympathetic state. These are early, observational findings in a small number of people: hypothesis-generating, not conclusive, and not medical claims. A peer-reviewed study is underway, with publication planned for 2027.

No. Vādma is not kundalini awakening, and it is not energy work: energy work is one part of the Vādma ritual, but not the focus of the method. While it may look like energy work to an observer, Vādma is fundamentally rooted in the biology of the nervous system. We aren’t trying to “move energy” through imagination; we are removing the physical and neurological blocks that prevent the system from functioning. It is more about structural and sensory architecture than spiritual theory. A session combines massage and sacred touch, breath, energy work, light technology, scent and integration. It does not depend on intense breathing, visualization or any external substances: no substances are taken. Physical touch is mandatory for a Vādma treatment to work, so every session is given in person by a certified practitioner and takes about 2 hours.

Many people make that comparison, but no medicine and no substance of any kind is ever taken in a Vādma session. Nothing is smoked, swallowed, inhaled or applied: Vādma is 100% natural and drug-free. The comparison comes from people with plant medicine experience, who say a Vādma session comes closest to Bufo in the depth of the reset and the feeling of total expansion. Where substances use external chemistry to force a state, Vādma works only with your own nervous system and triggers the body’s own internal “medicine” to reach a similar depth of stillness and “clearance” naturally. If you have no plant medicine experience, there is nothing to compare it with, and that is completely fine. Individual results vary and are not guaranteed, and every session can be very different, so it is best to come without expectations. If you plan a plant medicine ceremony, do it after your Vādma session, not before, so you’re fully present.

Most people report that the experience feels similar to an orgasm: a profound sensory expansion or a wave of neurological bliss through the whole body. This is what people describe, and you can see it in some of the experiences they have shared on social media. When the nervous system drops stored tension, the sensation can be one of intense relief and vital energy returning to the body. Whether you experience this depends on the state of your nervous system. Every session is a different experience, and many people choose a series of sessions to go deeper over time. People with experience in yoga, breathwork or plant medicine often go deeper faster. A session takes about 2 hours, is given in person, and does not depend on intense breathing, visualization or any external substances. You can receive sessions on consecutive days, but no more than one full treatment per day, because it can be intense for some people. Individual results vary.

Usually, one session is enough to have the experience. More sessions are not required to feel an effect, but they can be very beneficial, and many people choose to have several. What practitioners often observe is that in the first sessions the physical release of stored tension and trauma from the body is stronger, and that it decreases over time. The more sessions people have, the more often they reach the states that clients report: bliss, ecstasy and orgasmic states. This is different for everyone. People who have already done a lot of inner work, such as spiritual work, bodywork or consciousness work, often go deeper faster, but someone without any prior work can reach these states too. These are observations, not rules. Every session is different, and everybody receives what they need from it: whatever you need most, and have held back most, can come up to be seen and released. That is the beauty of this method.

The Vādma practitioner training is a 7- or 8-day in-person certification, followed by 12 months of live online mentorship. Trainings take place in Mallorca (Spain), near Mexico City (Mexico) and in Bali (Indonesia), and they are held in English. The standard rate is $6,900 USD, with early-bird rates per location. Accommodation with three healthy meals per day is required and paid separately. When you complete the training, you become a Vādma Certified Practitioner, certified by the Vādma Institute. It is for bodyworkers, massage and somatic therapists, breathwork facilitators, yoga teachers, energy healers and other wellness practitioners.

This is what a typical day at the Vādma training looks like. Each day is intentionally designed and may evolve depending on the group process. While the exact flow can shift, this is a general rhythm you can expect:

08:00 - Active or silent meditation

A foundational part of the work. Participation is expected.

09:30 - Brunch

11:00 - Group session

13:00 - Break

Time to rest, integrate, swim, or be with yourself.

15:00 - Group session

17:00 - Dinner

18:30 - Evening session

21:00 - Closing

This structure supports depth, integration, and nervous system regulation throughout the day.

The schedule remains flexible to serve the process of the group.

Kevin has spent the last decades in the background, acting as a researcher and scientist rather than a public figure. He chose to stay “hidden” until his findings were fully refined and tested across more than 100 modalities. He isn’t a guru looking for followers; he is a practitioner sharing the synthesis of a life’s work with those ready for it. Kevin Libawski spent 15 years on a spiritual path, including almost eight years living in Bali, where he was initiated by a Balinese priest and learned from close disciples of Osho, including Ma Ananda Sarita. Before turning to the healing arts, he built brands in health food, fitness snacks and supplements, with multiple exits. The first Vādma practitioner training was a small test group in Dubai in May 2025, and the first official, larger training followed in Bali in May 2026. Today, as the Vādma Master Teacher, he trains and certifies Vādma practitioners through the Vādma Institute and shares new dates on Instagram at @mr.libawski and @vadma.neurosomatic.

To understand the human system, you must understand the systems humans live in. Kevin’s experience in law, business, chemistry, psychology, and art allowed him to see the same system mechanics across different disciplines. This polymath perspective helped him uncover protocols that specialized practitioners often miss. In business, Kevin Libawski built brands in health food, fitness snacks and supplements, with multiple exits, before turning to the healing arts. He then spent 15 years on a spiritual path and completed professional training in more than 100 healing methods. That combination shapes his vision: Kevin believes that the people who help others become healthier, more aligned and more awake should be the richest and most rewarded people in the world, not the politicians, investment bankers and investors who are rewarded most today. His mission is to help every Vādma practitioner gain financial freedom. Most trainings in this field cost thousands and never pay for themselves, because nobody teaches practitioners business and social media. The Vādma training does: 12 months of mentorship on building your practice and growing on social media, while the Vādma Institute builds the software and platforms, such as Vādma OS, that automate bookings, marketing and support, so you can focus on your work instead of trading all your time for money. Seven practitioners have already confirmed they earned back their full training investment, the fastest within 1 week.

It is both. Vādma is a modern synthesis of ancient principles, specifically elements of the Ayurvedic tradition, combined with modern neuroscience and somatic physics. It takes what works and removes unnecessary complexity and spiritual theory. Its main essence comes from lost parts of Ayurveda that are not commonly known, knowledge that was lost or suppressed over time. That is why you won’t find Vādma in today’s Ayurveda books when you search for it. Vādma is a synthesis of ancient lineages from India and the West. It was brought together by Kevin Libawski, who spent 15 years on a spiritual path: he was initiated by a Balinese priest and learned from close disciples of Osho, including Ma Ananda Sarita, among many others. Vādma came together from three sources: parts Kevin channeled and arrived at intuitively, his professional training in more than 100 healing methods, and techniques that developed through hands-on work with clients, session after session. Vādma is taught only by the Vādma Institute, and only certified Vādma practitioners give real Vādma sessions.

Many Vādma practitioners earn a strong income from their sessions, but no income is guaranteed. As an illustrative pricing model, not a record of earnings: in a lower-income city or country, 55 private sessions a month at $155 USD each plus 6 group sessions of about 8 people at $35 USD per person comes to about $10,205 USD a month. In a higher-income city or country, the same schedule at $355 USD per session and $115 USD per group participant comes to about $25,045 USD a month. Both assume a full schedule, which takes time to build.

Seven practitioners have confirmed they earned back their full training investment: Priti Diepa (Netherlands, full focus on Vādma) in 1 week, Tanja Wilcken (Germany, full focus on Vādma) in 3 weeks, Paola Flores and Víctor Hugo Argüelles Mora (Mexico, full focus on sessions) in 4 weeks, Clayton Harrop (Australia, part-time) in 5 weeks, Claudia Ottaviani (Italy, part-time) in 8 weeks, and Teresa Till (Germany, part-time, alongside her hypnotherapy and seminar practice) in 10 weeks.

Results vary by market, location, experience, pricing, and execution. Higher numbers depend on following the business and pricing frameworks provided in the training. For practitioners who do not work full-time, the focus shifts to increasing the value and price of current sessions.

Yes. This is a practitioner training, not only a philosophy course. The protocols are designed to be repeatable from day one. You will practice them on others during the training, so you finish with direct experience and a framework for finding your first clients. The mentorship supports you through the next steps. About 90% of the in-person training is hands-on practice on each other, and about 10% is theory. Right after the training, you give 9 donation-based case-study sessions, which the training teaches as the fast track to paid sessions. Every case study is reported to the Vādma Institute for quality control: you report the session, and the client reports their experience anonymously, so you don’t see their feedback. This is how quality and integrity are protected. You keep 100% of what you earn from your sessions, and you can offer Vādma in your own practice or retreats, as long as you don’t rename the method or teach it to others. Vādma OS, which automates bookings, marketing and support, is free for the first 3 months, then $13.90 USD per week (billed monthly) instead of the standard $25 USD per week.

This is a strategic decision. Kevin is looking for a core group of founding practitioners who can help establish the standard for Vādma globally. The current price allows experienced professionals to enter and demonstrate results in their markets. As the network grows, the investment for future cohorts may increase. The price is for the 12 months of live online mentorship on sessions, business and social media, and the in-person training of 7 or 8 days (depending on the location) is included as a complimentary bonus, where you come together and practice. It is one package and cannot be split: the in-person training can’t be booked without the 12 months. It also includes the private practitioner community and the first 3 months of Vādma OS for free, then $13.90 USD per week (billed monthly) instead of the standard $25 USD per week. Each location has its own price, shown under “Investment” on vadma.org, and each price tier closes when its limited number of spots is taken, even before its deadline. Accommodation with three meals per day is booked on top. The investment can come back fast: as an illustration only, at $155 USD per session about 45 sessions cover the $6,900 USD standard rate, and at $355 USD per session about 20 do. Seven practitioners have confirmed they earned back their full training investment within 1 to 10 weeks. Results vary and are not guaranteed.

Vādma is not a mass-market certification. The training is designed for a select group of experienced practitioners, so every participant needs the professional background and integrity required to represent the work. The application protects the quality of the training and the group dynamic. The training is for people who already work with people, through bodywork and other hands-on modalities, trauma work, tantra, psychotherapy or similar fields, and prior client experience is required. A background in meditation or inner work also helps you hold the space. No formal certificate is needed: people from medicine, bodywork, coaching and other fields have completed the training. The team receives hundreds of applications per training, and every application and video interview is personally reviewed by the team, which always makes the final decision. Because the training is physically and emotionally intense, the team may also ask about your health before accepting you.

After you submit your application, the team reviews your experience and goals. If there is a potential fit, you may book a brief call to discuss questions and ensure the mentorship aligns with your professional path. If accepted, you secure your seat with a deposit or full payment and then arrange your travel. The application has three steps on vadma.org: a short quiz (click Apply), the full application form, and a video interview of about 10 to 15 minutes, available 24/7. The team can only review your application once all three are done, and each person applies separately, including couples. Only apply once you’ve seen the prices and are ready to pay, at least in installments. Installment plans need a minimum deposit of $3,000 USD (or 3,000 EUR for euro-priced trainings), and the monthly payments can be discussed and adapted to what is possible for you: if you truly want this and feel the calling, the team will do its best to make it happen. After you pay, you sign the Practitioner Agreement and join your training’s private Telegram group.

All Vādma practitioner trainings are currently held in English, and so are the live calls of the 12-month mentorship. No trainings in other languages are planned for 2026. Depending on demand, trainings in other languages may be offered in the future: they are not confirmed yet, and every new training is published on vadma.org. The in-person training, the application and the video interview are all in English, without interpreters, because so much of it is group work, so you need to understand spoken English well. Kevin Libawski is a non-native speaker himself and speaks simply and slowly.

You can apply now, or ask us anything in the live chat at the bottom of the page. It is always a good idea to fill out the short application quiz: it adds you to the newsletter, so you hear first when new trainings are announced.

If you only want to book a session, go to vadma.org/session.

Not always: some changes may remain, and others may need further work. Most people retain a profound memory of the experience. Some changes may remain, while others may require further work or other modalities when they fall outside Vādma’s scope. Individual results vary. Every session is a different experience, and many people choose a series of sessions to go deeper over time. You can receive sessions on consecutive days, but no more than one full treatment per day, because it can be intense for some people. The early pilot research measured heart rate variability immediately before and after a single session and saw a clear shift, out of stress into a recovery state. In one follow-up measurement a few days later, the values were still much better than before the session; this is a single measurement, not a conclusion. A peer-reviewed study is underway, with publication planned for 2027. Vādma is not medical or mental-health treatment, so for any medical or mental-health condition, check with a qualified health professional.

The mentorship includes live online group calls: weekly immediately after the training, bi-weekly during months two and three, and then monthly. You can ask questions about Vādma sessions, business strategy, and other areas in which Kevin can help. The 12-month mentorship follows the in-person training and is included in the training, so the calls cost nothing extra. Calls run at alternating times so that people in different time zones can join, and every call is recorded, so you can watch it later if you miss one. Also included for free: the private practitioner community and a Telegram group, where you are always in contact with other practitioners, mentorship on building your business and growing on social media, and the first 3 months of Vādma OS, which automates bookings, marketing, email, SMS and Instagram messages. After that, Vādma OS costs $13.90 USD per week (billed monthly) instead of the standard $25 USD per week. Vādma practitioners are growing into a global family: they team up to host bigger group sessions, support each other, and refer clients to practitioners in other regions. The global practitioner directory follows in Q4 2026.

Accommodation with three healthy meals per day is required for every Vādma training and is booked together with it. A shared room costs 999 EUR per person in Mallorca, $999 USD per person in Mexico and $999 USD per person in Bali. In Mexico, a single-room upgrade costs $500 USD (limited to 6 rooms). In Bali, a single-room upgrade costs $1,000 USD, and an Ocean View Villa is a further $1,500 USD upgrade, available only on top of the single room. In Mallorca, there are shared rooms only. Everyone stays at the retreat venue where the training takes place, so you eat, sleep and practice in one place, and staying elsewhere is not possible because the schedule runs from morning to evening. The venue in Mexico is about 1.5 hours from Mexico City, the venue in Mallorca about 30 minutes from Palma airport, and the venue in Bali about 45 minutes from the island’s only airport, depending on traffic.

Plan to arrive at least one day before the training begins. Arriving late is not possible: the most important part is taught right at the beginning, and the training is full practice from the first session to the last, so you must be there from the start to receive your certificate. Registration on the first day starts at 1:00 PM in Mexico, 3:00 PM in Mallorca and around 1:00 PM in Bali. On the last day, the training usually ends around lunchtime: check-out is 1:00 PM in Mexico and 10:00 AM in Mallorca, and in Bali the training ends a little later, probably around 2:00 PM, so you can schedule your departure for the afternoon or evening of the final day. Times can change for each training. In Bali, you can book the night before at the venue and stay a few extra nights. In Mexico, you can book the night before, and extra nights may be possible depending on demand. Once you are accepted and have paid for your training, you are invited to your training’s Telegram group, where you receive all arrival details before you book your flights and can connect with other participants to share a taxi.

You organize and pay for your own arrival at the venue, and the team is happy to help and coordinate. Once you are in your training’s Telegram group, you receive the contact details of trusted private drivers and all travel information, and participants usually team up to arrive together and share a driver to keep costs as low as possible. In Mexico, the venue is about 1.5 hours from Mexico City Airport (MEX). In Mallorca, it is about 30 minutes from Palma airport (PMI), and a shared taxi costs around 15 EUR per person. In Bali, it is about 45 minutes from the island’s only airport, depending on traffic.

Shared rooms are allocated among confirmed training participants. The team will provide the rooming details before arrival. A limited single-room upgrade is available for participants who prefer private accommodation.

Payments are non-refundable. In unforeseen circumstances beyond your control, you may transfer your payment to another training for yourself or a friend within one year, subject to the program’s applicable terms. Please tell the team as early as possible: a spot cancelled at the last minute can’t be filled anymore, while the room still has to be paid. When you transfer, the exact amount you paid is credited, and if the current rate of the training you move to is higher, you pay the difference. If you give your spot to someone else, that person still needs to apply and be accepted. If something unexpected comes up, contact the team at hey@vadma.org, and every case is looked at individually. There are no scholarships or discounts right now; the option available is an installment plan, which you can discuss once you’re accepted. Installment plans need a minimum deposit of $3,000 USD (or 3,000 EUR for euro-priced trainings), and if payments continue after the training starts, 10% is added. The full terms are at vadma.org/terms.
