Aditi Samant
Founder
With over 22 years of experience in mental health and trauma therapy and almost a decade in nutrition, Capt. Aditi combines her deep knowledge of psychology with a profound understanding of physical health. Her certifications in EMDR, EFT, NLP, and hypnotherapy enrich the healing process, creating a bridge between conventional therapy and holistic practices. “I am not only a clinical psychologist but also a captain on the Airbus 320, a unique professional combination that is unparalleled in India, which allows me to bring valuable insights from both fields into my work”, Capt. Aditi highlights.
Nine years ago, Capt. Aditi expanded her expertise to include nutrition, recognizing how critical it is in supporting mental well-being and physical vitality. Today, Wholesome Wellness provides a transformative approach to healing that balances emotional and physical health through the Panchakosha model.
Blending Modern Psychology with India’s Ancient Wisdom
The Panchakosha model, an ancient Vedic philosophy, underpins Wholesome Wellness’s approach. This model views the human being as five inter woven layers, namely physical or Annamaya Kosha, energetic or Pranamaya Kosha, mental or Manomaya Kosha, intellectual or Vijnanamaya Kosha, and spiritual or Anandamaya Kosha. Each layer impacts the others, creating a dynamic system that influences every aspect of well-being.
“Most of us don’t realize how interconnected our systems are. For instance, a person experiencing chronic fatigue may think it’s solely physical, but often, it’s linked to emotional stress or unresolved trauma. We address that through personalized care that taps into each kosha, bringing balance across the whole being”, explains Capt. Aditi. This approach is particularly effective for those facing multifaceted health issues like digestive problems linked with anxiety or chronic fatigue stemming from emotional stress and haven’t found relief through traditional methods alone.
Customized, Multi-layered Healing
Wholesome Wellness crafts each client’s healing journey through an in-depth assessment that includes medical and psychological evaluations and extensive interviews. Thorough guidance helps clients reconnect with themselves on all five levels,
benefiting from a blend of mental health counseling, yoga, acupressure, nutritional guidance, and mindfulness practices. “We don’t offer a one-size-fits all plan”, emphasizes Capt. Aditi. “Every client receives a unique program that addresses their life circumstances, health history, and aspirations. It’s a comprehensive approach where each step supports their progress across all koshas”, she adds.
For example, a client grappling with stress and digestive issues might start with nutritional changes to support the physical body, while incorporating breath work and acupressure for energy flow. Emotional or trauma-informed therapies, such as EFT or somatic therapy, help address underlying psychological causes, and self-reflection practices strengthen self-awareness and resilience. These layers work in harmony to help clients break free from cycles of stress, anxiety, and physical discomfort.
Empathy and Authenticity
Having walked her own path through trauma and life challenges, Capt. Aditi brings a deep understanding and genuine empathy to her work. “Healing is a very personal journey”, she explains. “I understand what it means to navigate difficult experiences and come out stronger on the other side. Clients sense this empathy, and it helps them open up, building a foundation of trust that’s essential for healing”.
This supportive environment allows clients to explore and understand their challenges without judgment, making them active participants in their healing process. Through compassionate guidance, clients discover practical, sustainable tools they can use in their daily lives, fostering resilience and self-empowerment.
A Technology-Driven Companion for Continuous Support
To keep clients connected to their wellness journey, Wholesome Wellness offers its own app, a virtual companion that helps clients track and maintain their progress even outside of sessions. The app includes features for tracking nutrition, guided meditations, mindfulness exercises, and personalized hypnotherapy recordings. Additionally, it provides educational courses on mental health topics such as anxiety, the nervous system, and emotional resilience, empowering clients with knowledge that deepens their understanding of health and wellness. This tool bridges in-session work and everyday life, creating an ongoing support system.
Transformative Client Success Stories
Success at Wholesome Wellness is best illustrated through the stories of clients who have experienced profound changes. One client, a fitness enthusiast struggling with chronic fatigue, found her energy restored after addressing long-buried emotional stress through the Panchakosha model. Her personalized plan included dietary shifts, acupressure, and breathwork, combined with trauma informed therapy that helped her release suppressed emotions and mental blocks. Another client with digestive issues and persistent anxiety experienced remarkable relief as she learned to connect her physical symptoms with unprocessed emotions. Through somatic therapy, diet adjustments, and mindfulness practices, she transformed not only her digestion but her overall sense of well-being.
