Hey, Im Shalini!

I’m excited you’re here finding out more about me!:-)

Before I go into the work bit, here’s the non work bit about me..

I’m a lot of things. A mum to two teenagers (say no more, right?). A partner. A dog lover (one very fluffy bundle of joy runs the house).

A woman still learning how to hold all the versions of herself.

I don’t fit into a single category, and I’m not trying to. My life is a mix of roles, responsibilities, ridiculous moments, deep joy, and ordinary magic.

Stepping into my forties not so long ago has been a revelation. I’ve spent the first half of my life trying to fix or prove myself—and now, I’m learning to love and honour all the parts of me.

The messy, the wise, the soft, the fierce.

And I believe that’s what healing allows: To finally stop shrinking and start living in your wholeness.

If you’ve landed here and some part of you is whispering “this is what I’ve been missing,”—you’re in the right place.

Take your time. Look around. Feel into it.

When you’re ready, I’d be honoured to walk this path with you.

With warmth and belief in your journey of growth,


Shalini xoxo

  • Every woman I work with has one thing in common—she is carrying more than anyone can see. And it’s time she learned how to come home to herself.

SOMATIC PSYCHOTHERAPIST | CLINICAL HYPNOTHERAPIST | RYT YOGA TEACHER | SOMATIC EDUCATOR

I’m a somatic psychotherapist, a nervous system educator, and someone who’s walked the path of recovery through chronic illness, trauma, emotional collapse, and coming home to myself.

This work is not just my profession. It’s my story.

Five years ago, I was diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder. My system had carried too much for too long. Unresolved trauma, perfectionism, burnout, chronic stress, motherhood, and the deep cost of surviving in a culture that doesn’t honour the body.

On paper, I was functioning. In my body, I was shutting down.

What saved me wasn’t more willpower. It was listening. To the subtle cues of my nervous system. To the stress signals I had learned to override. To the wisdom I had spent years working against.

That was the turning point. And it didn’t happen all at once. It came slowly, gently—through nervous system repair, trauma integration, and learning how to live in my body instead of managing it.

Today, I help women do the same…

This work is for the woman who is feeling the call to:

Move beyond coping and start healing, growing and thriving.

Stop performing safety and start embodying it

Reclaim her voice, rest, regulation, and worth

Understand her nervous system and work with it, than against it

What I Believe…

You are not too sensitive -You are attuned.

You are not broken -You’re brilliantly adaptive.

The body is not a barrier to healing—it’s the gateway.

You don’t need to be fixed. You need to be met.
