As stress, anxiety, and mental health concerns are becoming increasingly prevalent, holistic healing is gaining traction as a viable solution for many. The market in India is emerging, with therapists actively working to shape understanding by combining their therapeutic practices with a strong emphasis on education and awareness to dispel misconceptions about these therapies. This approach is crucial in a market where traditional guru culture and price sensitivity often dominate the landscape. Among these therapists, Manjari (Madhura) Agrawaal has been combining decades of professional experience with a deep-rooted passion for alternative healing modalities.

Manjari is a holistic healing professional who combines extensive experience and a deep passion for alternative therapies, offering services such as Past Life Regression, Inner Child Healing, Reiki, and Family Constellations. A Chartered Accountant and an alumnus of IIM Calcutta, she had a successful leadership position at a Fortune 500 company, and later made a significant career shift from the corporate world to the healing space.

Manjari’s decision to transition was deeply personal, rooted in her own experiences with stress, anxiety, and fear, as a student and in her corporate role. She was able to transform herself, finding peace through her journey into spirituality and healing. It began 25 years ago when she first learned Reiki during her college years. Discovering the transformative power of alternative healing modalities, she was able to turn her life around, finding happiness and calmness. The profound impact inspired her to leave the corporate sector and dedicate herself full-time to holistic healing. She founded the Antaratma Happiness Centre in August 2022, where she offers workshops and one-on one sessions

to help individuals heal from their past and present. She guides individuals toward self-discovery and healing.

“In addition to being a Past Life Regression therapist and Inner Child Healing coach, I am a Reiki master and practitioner of Family Constellations, a transformative German modality”, says Manjari, Founder & CEO at Antaratma. “My journey into holistic healing has led me to study various disciplines, including pranic healing, Emotional Freedom Techniques, Gestalt therapy, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming”, she adds. Past Life Regression therapy is based on the belief that many of the issues individuals face in their current lives, such as relationship problems, financial difficulties, and health concerns, stem from unresolved issues in past lives.

In addition, her approach to Reiki emphasizes its dual role as a spiritual practice and a practical tool for maintaining physical and emotional well-being. Reiki is unique in empowering individuals to take charge of their healing process. While therapies like Past Life Regression and Inner Child Healing often require the guidance of a therapist, Reiki can be learned and practiced by anyone, making it a highly accessible form of self-care.

Inner Child Healing, another core service offered by Manjari, addresses the unpleasant experiences and limiting beliefs formed during child hood. These early experiences often create patterns that persist into adult hood, affecting behavior and relationships which in turn impacts professional life, self-esteem, and happiness. By revisiting and healing these childhood wounds, clients can release negative beliefs and radically transform their lives.

She conducts workshops and meditation circles, both online and offline, to reach a broader group. Deriving from her life experiences in her formative years, Manjari envisions expanding her practice to work with educational institutions. She believes introducing mindfulness techniques and stress management courses in schools and colleges could profoundly impact young people, helping them navigate the pressures of academic life and beyond. Her long-term goal is to integrate these practices into the corporate world, promoting mental well-being in high stress professional environments.
