In the ever-changing world of wellness, where science meets the quiet voice of the soul, a new way of healing is rising. It goes beyond just exercise or feeling calm for a moment, it reaches deep into our breath, our bodies, and the stories it holds quietly inside. This is a place where old wisdom blends with new knowledge, where living with awareness is becoming more important than ever.

Here, every breath feels like a poem, every movement like a gentle song, and every moment a chance to find peace within. True wellness is no longer just being free from illness, it’s about finding balance, meaning, and calm in life. In a world saturated with quick fixes and surface-level therapies, Samanta Duggal stands apart. A seasoned wellness practitioner with over two decades of experience, she doesn’t just treat symptoms, she transforms lives.

Her journey began in 2003, rooted in yoga, Ayurveda, and alternative wellness. Today, she brings a unique blend of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), movement therapy, and psychosomatic healing to individuals and organizations across the globe. Her venture into NLP wasn’t born out of a corporate directive or trend, it was personal. In 2016, under the mentorship of ex-army officer and NLP expert Sudip Mukherjee, she attended her first NLP Practitioner Program.

What started as a tool to complement her yoga and wellness training turned into a profound self-revelation. “I realized how many limiting patterns and conditionings were embedded in my own psyche. NLP helped me understand how the brain processes information, how we all perceive reality differently, and how these perceptions shape our lives, says Samanta Duggal, NLP Trainer.

The Holistic Integrator

Unlike conventional NLP trainers who focus predominantly on verbal communication and mindset coaching, Samanta Duggal integrates the body and the subconscious into her sessions. Her background in yoga, ayurveda, massage therapy, and creative movement allows her to offer a uniquely embodied approach to healing. Additionally, she brings together her NLP work and ancient traditional practices, such as sound healing with Tibetan bowls and Vedic chanting, creating a harmonious blend of Eastern and Western methodologies.

Samanta says, “NLP isn’t just about spoken language, it’s also about unspoken language. Body language, postural habits, and breathing patterns, these are all cues to how we think and feel. By bringing in movement, breathwork, mantra, and mindfulness, I help rewire neural pathways in a deeper, more

lasting way”. This layered, body-centered approach is particularly potent for psychosomatic conditions, physical ailments that stem from emotional or psychological roots.

Her reach extends far beyond one-on-one sessions. Samanta Duggal regularly conducts retreats and workshops across India and inter -nationally, in Sri Lanka, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. One of her upcoming retreats in Spain, titled The Power of Presence, focuses on anxiety and stress relief through yoga, movement therapy, and cognitive shifts. These retreats are more than just getaways, they are immersive journeys that encourage participants to observe, express, and evolve. It also caters to a wide audience, from corporate teams to individuals seeking personal breakthroughs.

Customization as Core Philosophy

What truly sets Samanta Duggal apart is her remarkable ability to tailor each wellness session to the unique needs of her participants. Whether she’s working with an executive battling burnout, a woman navigating menstrual imbalances, or a corporate team in need of posture correction through chair yoga, no two programs are ever the same. During the pandemic, Samanta collaborated with companies like VFS Global and Ajanta Pharma to create bespoke wellness experiences.

Samanta sees herself not just as an NLP trainer but as a catalyst who helps people reconnect with their bodies and transform their lives through movement & awareness, and live their lives in a more authentic, balanced, and integrated way

For VFS Global, she conducted a week-long online program focused on immunity and holistic well-being, wherein for Ajanta Pharma, she curated breathwork and mindfulness sessions designed to enhance employee wellness. “A brief is given to me, and I build around that”, she explains. Her approach combines theoretical knowledge with experiential practices, and she always incorporates a sharing circle, a reflective space where participants can process, personalize, and deepen their experience.

Though she leveraged platforms like Zoom and Google Meet during the pandemic, Samanta Duggal remains a strong advocate for in-person engagement. “I’m old school that way”, she laughs. “So much of my work is body-based, touch, breath, expression. Seeing a person’s posture, hearing their breath, and watching their movement, that’s where the real healing begins. Online tools help with reach, but the transformation is most powerful in physical presence”.

Inclusivity Through Universality

On the question of diversity and inclusion especially in the corporate space, Samanta Duggal believes wellness itself is the great equalizer. “Health is universal. Movement, breath, and stillness, these transcend gender, race, and hierarchy. In my sessions, everyone is on the same mat, sharing the same space. That itself fosters inclusion”. What truly defines Samanta Duggal’s practice is transformation through awareness. She doesn’t simply deliver tools or frameworks she creates a safe, sensory space for people to reconnect with their bodies, untangle deep-rooted beliefs, and walk away empowered. “I don’t see myself as just an NLP trainer”, she reflects. “I’m a catalyst. My work is to help people see, feel, and move differently, not just in body, but in life”.

Future Vision

With a heart tuned to healing and a mindset on transformation, Samanta Duggal dreams of creating a tranquil retreat, a sanctuary where breath, movement, and sound weave together to restore the body and soothe the soul. She envisions redefining yoga teacher training by crafting deeply personalized programs that honor each individual’s unique journey. Blending the power of NLP with somatic wisdom, Samanta Duggal is committed to guiding people beyond surface relief, helping them uncover and heal the roots of their challenges, and embrace a lasting harmony of mind, body, and spirit.
