Meet a person with a skill you can use

Nastascha Shah, 36 Inner Child Healer and Breathwork Expert
>>>
Available for: inner child healing
Contact: 8448604129
Charges: Rs 3800 upwards

As a certified healer for nine years, Natascha Shah says healing her own inner child was what drew her to this form of therapy in the first place. "It's a method of healing where you target the trauma, hurts, and emotional blocks you have been carrying in you since you were conceived. The trigger-points, repetitive patterns, and reactions to situations are a result of what you've been conditioned to think and act." The process typically takes place within 10 sessions, and involves going back to the age where it started. She also conducts breathwork exercises, meant to release emotions through regulated breathing.

RECOMMENDED BY: Garima Sehgal, Cluster Manager, Operations at MakeMyTrip says, "I have experienced one of the most magical sessions with Natascha Shah. The combination of techniques like guided visualisations, dialogue, and creative expressions made me feel lighter."
