As a psychological counselor specializing in the well-being of women and children, I am committed to supporting my patients through a holistic and compassionate approach. My work focuses on addressing emotional, psychological, and physical health concerns by integrating counseling, nutrition guidance, and yoga into the therapeutic process. I strongly believe that mental health and physical well-being are closely connected, and sustainable healing is achieved through consistent, mindful lifestyle changes. I work closely with women and children facing a variety of psychological challenges such as stress, anxiety, emotional imbalances, and behavioral issues. Through individualized counseling sessions, I aim to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where my patients can express themselves openly and work toward emotional resilience. I combine evidence-based psychological techniques with practical strategies that include balanced nutrition and therapeutic yoga practices tailored to each patient’s unique needs and abilities. My approach is centered on empowering patients to take charge of their mental and physical health by making gradual yet impactful adjustments to their daily routines. By focusing on lifestyle modifications — such as mindful eating, stress management, body awareness, and improved emotional regulation — I help my patients build healthier habits that contribute to long-term well-being. Whether guiding a child through emotional difficulties, supporting a woman through life’s transitions, or promoting holistic health through diet and yoga, my goal is to make each patient’s journey meaningful and effective. I am passionate about promoting mental health, self-care, and sustainable wellness practices, ensuring that every individual I work with receives thoughtful and personalized care.

Thank you for sharing about your mother. At 80 years of age, it's common to see changes in sleep, digestion, and appetite, but these can often be improved 1. For Better Sleep Warm turmeric milk at bedtime (¼ tsp turmeric in 1 cup warm milk, with a pinch of nutmeg). Foot massage with warm sesame oil or ghee before bed. Maintain a regular sleep-wake schedule, even if short naps occur in the day. Avoid screen time or stimulating activities 1 hour before bedtime. 2. To Improve Digestion and Gas Release Give ajwain + rock salt (1 pinch) in warm water before meals (1–2x/day). A small piece of fresh ginger with lemon juice and rock salt before lunch can stimulate appetite. Fennel tea or jeera water after meals helps release trapped gas. Avoid cold foods/drinks, raw salads at night, and too much curd in the evening. 3. To Boost Appetite Gently Serve smaller meals but more frequently (every 3 hours). Add homemade ghee to her rice, rotis, and dal to enhance taste and digestion. Use digestive herbs like hing ; jeera, ajwain in cooking. Bramhi ghrit - one tea spoon morning and evening with luke warm water will calm her mind. Jiva Sleep well tablet 2tabs with milk at night. Anu tail drops (put in nostril while sleeping at night)
