Check whether an Instagram account belongs to a certified Vādma practitioner. Booking a "Vādma practitioner"? Confirm they're actually certified first. What is Vadma? Vādma is a polyvagal neuro-somatic modality taught exclusively through the Vādma Institute, across three tiers: Practitioner, Initiate, and Teacher, each representing a further stage of completed training, with Teacher additionally certified to train others. Thinking about booking a "Vādma practitioner" you found on Instagram? Vādma Verify checks their handle against the official certification list in one click with no tracking, so you know before you book, not after. As interest in the method has grown, so has the number of Instagram accounts using the Vādma name and claiming a certification tier the Vādma Institute has no record of. Vādma Verify reads the open tab's Instagram URL locally, checks it against the bundled practitioner list, and shows the confirmed tier without any network request. WHAT IT DOES - Open any Instagram profile and click the extension icon. It checks the handle against the official list of certified Vādma practitioners right away. - Or search manually by @username from the popup. - See each practitioner's confirmed certification tier: Practitioner, Initiate, or Teacher. - Not on the list? The extension clearly states the account is not affiliated with Vādma or the Vādma Institute, with a one-click option to report it. WHY CERTIFICATION TIERS MATTER Certification tiers are not interchangeable. A Practitioner has completed foundational Vādma training, an Initiate has advanced further, and a Teacher is additionally certified to train others. Most certified people never reach Teacher level; it's the rarest tier. TRAINING, SCREENING, AND GROWTH The Vādma Institute expects to surpass 150 certified practitioners worldwide by early 2027. Reaching that number isn't the goal on its own: the Institute dedicates a full-time team member to screening every applicant, spending thousands of dollars a month to make sure only candidates who meet strict quality criteria are accepted into training. Certified Vādma practitioners complete a one-year training program covering the method's core tools and techniques, contraindications, and safe session protocols. A session from someone without this training carries real risk. Vādma works directly with the nervous system, and using it without the right protocols can cause harm. That's the reason confirming a practitioner's real certification, not just their claim to it, matters before you book. EARLY RESEARCH INTO VĀDMA'S EFFECTS The Vādma Institute has begun preliminary observational research using ECG-based heart rate variability (HRV) measurements to study the physiological changes associated with Vādma sessions. Each receiver was measured for five minutes immediately before and immediately after a 90-minute session, with nothing else in between. In the first five receivers measured (June 2026), resting heart rate fell by an average of 9bpm, the Baevsky-Stress-Index dropped by an average of 42% and total HRV power roughly doubled, a pattern consistent with reduced sympathetic ("fight-or-flight") activity and increased parasympathetic ("rest-and-digest") activity. Receivers who went through the same protocol without reaching a deep Vādma state showed no comparable change. The Institute describes these findings as preliminary, based on a small number of receivers, and intended to guide future research rather than establish clinical conclusions. THE PROOF Vādma is the world's first formal Neuro-Somatic Practitioner Certification, endorsed by Dr. Jen Draper, a former Australian GP with nearly 30 years of medical experience, by British TV personality Amy Willerton who called the work profound, and by world-renowned tantra and meditation teacher Ma Ananda Sarita. It has been featured across Yahoo Finance and Business Insider Markets, and preliminary ECG-based HRV research found measurable shifts from fight-or-flight toward rest-and-digest after sessions. VADMA REVIEWS "Many people who experience Vādma describe profound relaxation, emotional release, improved sleep, greater clarity, and an increased sense of well-being. For me, Vādma represents a meeting place between ancient wisdom and modern clinical responsibility." — Dr. Jen Draper, physician with nearly 30 years of clinical experience, author of UNPATIENT, and certified Vādma practitioner "If you know me, you know I'm naturally skeptical of new methodologies. My experience challenged many of my expectations and encouraged me to explore the method with an open mind." — Mariana Fresnedo, engineer and quantum scientist, founder of Quantum Quip "I came across Kevin's Vādma treatment, which is very specifically helping people to access a state beyond time and mind. Since time immemorial, people have been looking for a way to open to God consciousness within, and what Kevin has stumbled on is an ancient method to achieve just that. It is very quick and easy, but that doesn't underestimate the fact that it does take very profound training to be able to effectively activate these very specific points that bring about God consciousness. This activation, the Vādma activation, is a wonderful way to have a glimpse, to have an experience. Once you've had the glimpse, you will find your way made easier to live and breathe in this state of being. I really highly recommend his work because he is very methodical, very thorough in making sure that this state is available to people in a really safe and effective way." — Ma Ananda Sarita, teacher of tantra and holistic healing "Was this going to further dysregulate the nervous system, or have I finally found a method that's going to powerfully reset it? This was my biggest doubt... Now that I've experienced Vādma, I would describe it as an amazing cosmic reset for the mind, body, and soul. Powerful but gentle... I feel completely different than I did seven days ago." — Laura Joe Fiorita, Reiki practitioner and certified Vādma practitioner "I was really confused by what I was seeing online... but the more we researched it, the deeper understanding I had, I could recognize the nervous system releases and resets that were occurring. That really attracted me... The very first night, having come here, never experienced it, not even having met a practitioner, my level one first experience took me to a place in my body that I didn't even know existed. It broke me open in a way that I had never anticipated. That just blew my mind... It's profound. It's abundant. It's fulfilling. It's just magical." — Peggy Rometo, intuitive healer and Reiki master and certified Vādma practitioner "There are things so subtle you cannot see them, even with deep consciousness work, all the seeking, journeys, ceremonies. The body is still an astonishing mystery... Now that I've experienced Vādma, I'd describe it this way: it's like a switch, so you can see very subtle things that otherwise stay invisible... — Paola Flores, transpersonal therapist, medicine facilitator and certified Vādma practitioner COMMON QUESTIONS What is Vādma? Vādma is a polyvagal neuro-somatic modality centered on nervous system activation, taught exclusively through the Vādma Institute's training programs. What does "nervous system reset" mean in Vādma work? It's how certified practitioners describe the method's focus: polyvagal neuro-somatic work intended to shift the nervous system out of a stress state, sometimes discussed alongside natural DMT release.
