Private Coaching & Mentoring

I see you —

You’re smart, capable and want to feel genuinely connected with your friends, family, and partner. It feels like you’re doing everything right… being available for people, perhaps putting your own needs to the back burner to help out a friend, partner, parent, or colleague. Not because you’re looking for attention but because you genuinely care about others.

And if you’re not only NOT seen, appreciated or simply acknowledged for what you’re offering, but overlooked completely, it can feel like you’re being taken for granted, disconnected, and wondering what you’re doing wrong… you’ve been trying to be attentive, sensitive and be helpful — so why does this relationship feel so one-sided?

Maybe you’re starting to feel resentful, frustrated and even angry.. and you’re not sure where it’s all coming from. It can feel like you’re a little bit trapped or like you’re going to burst open — and you’re looking for a solution.

 

I understand and I’m here to help!

I believe in a world where:

  • your sensitivity can be your superpower
  • you can thrive as a deeply caring, feeling person
  • your sensitive nature gives you direct access to your intuition and you can make a powerful difference for others.

What I have seen:

  • we repeat our patterns from childhood
  • when you’re sensitive you may have perceived life experiences in a more heightened way
  • when we work with these past experiences energetically, we can clear old trauma

How would you feel if your relationships felt solid and stress-free?

You might spend a lot of time wrapped up in worrying about what to do, what to say, or how to say it. It’s usually not because you don’t know… but you’re working with an old pattern that simply makes it hard to say how you really feel, put yourself first, and take up space in your relationships.

Maybe it’s guilt, feeling like someone will think you’re selfish or disappointing someone?

You may not realize what you’re doing… but I bet it feels easier for you to just let things go on the surface, stay small and avoid conflict… but the thing is, after a while, this could really start to eat you up inside. Even though you think you’re ‘letting it go,’ you’re still thinking about it and it’s taking a toll. It not only impacts your relationships where you don’t feel like an equal partner, but it can also affect your confidence and your health over time.

 

IMAGINE….

  • showing up in your relationships as yourself … caring, sensitive and connected to your inner stability
  • sharing your feelings clearly in the present moment and not through the lens of past hurts and trauma
  • feeling more comfortable spending time on your own, enjoying your own company and allowing time for your creative juices to flow
  • being able to support those you care about without taking on the burden of their moods, needs or expectations
  • having more energy…. especially mental bandwidth to deal with challenges without becoming overwhelmed, angry or resentful

WHY this work of RECLAIMING ourselves is so important

I’ve been where you are and I know how this feels. Giving yourself away in a relationship just for the sake of connection and then feeling empty or betrayed down the line. Wondering where your judgement went in the moment.. realizing that once again, you wanted to be ‘helpful’ but ended up feeling taken for granted… this can feel really challenging and if you’re in this place — I’m going to invite you to ALSO consider what you wanted from this relationship that affected your ability to see clearly. What might you have been getting in return? What was the dynamic between you and other person. I’m NOT suggesting that you caused this or invited this — but I’m asking you to consider what was the bigger dynamic at play –

This is where the work with our subconscious and energy comes into play. We can’t always see what is controlling us.. there is so much happening under the surface and it may feel like you are a puppet on strings… the thing is those strings are invisible which is why working on the physical, emotional, psychological and energetic layers can make all the difference!

When we understand OUR part in something as we get to know ourselves more deeply, we can make more powerful shifts in our thinking and in our lives.

 

One of my passions is supporting people in remembering who they are and re-aligning with their path. As you re-connect to your true essence and clear and strengthen your energy field, you can heal the effects of old experiences and trauma as well as the energy of the heavier emotions (guilt, shame, anger, fear) that might be preventing you from show up as yourself in relationships.

I would love to support you!

Why would you possibly be afraid of showing up exactly as you are?

Maybe you’ve had experiences in your early years where you got attention that you didn’t want which ended up being dangerous? Perhaps you experienced early comments or criticism for showing up as yourself and it didn’t feel safe to be seen? You may have experienced or witnessed trauma at some point in your life and it’s unresolved, keeping you feeling fearful or stuck. As a sensitive being, you may be carrying a trauma from your ancestry… intergenerational trauma can be carried through your DNA and show up as fear that doesn’t make sense given your personal life circumstances.

There are so many reasons we dim our light or don’t fully express our authentic selves and through our work together, as you connect more to your body and clear and heal subconscious patterns, you can work towards healing the root of the issue keeping you small.

PERHAPS YOU ALSO:

  • might be told that you’re overly sensitive, make a big deal out of nothing or are made to believe you’re imagining things when you get upset
  • are living in the shadow of someone else that makes you feel like their needs or desires are always more important than yours
  • are bullied or put down in ways that you just don’t want to look at because it’s so painful and you have no idea how to handle it
  • keep repeating the same kinds of relationships where you just can’t relax or be yourself even when the person seems different on the outside
  • constantly second guess or doubt yourself wondering if you’re wrong or worry that you might get in trouble for something
  • are made to feel stupid when you disagree with something
  • notice subtle digs at your expense and you struggle to speak up for yourself

 

These patterns are often life long and buried — and generally will show up across most areas of your life.

It is possible to identify the common threads and heal these patterns at their root — and the impact ALSO shows up across all areas of your life!

What could life be like if you felt emotionally free and clear?

THIS IS FOR YOU IF:

You’ve done a lot of healing and inner work. Perhaps you have worked with a lot of modalities and different types of healers with some success and you have a tool belt full of really great practices that you do regularly to help you manage what you are going through in your day to life, but you are still feeling stuck, like it’s not enough or did not get to the bottom of things!

AND…

You’re ready to go deeper. You are ready to go under the surface and look at what is coming up in your life from the perspective of what your soul is asking you to heal so you can fully step out into your life and shine in ALL areas of your life.

What happens on the other side of our work together?

You feel LIGHTER because you finally realize and are able to heal on a cellular level what has been stuck in your body. You can express your true thoughts with more ease because you KNOW and TRUST yourself and what you are feeling and thinking because you have cleared emotional weight from the past. You are not caught up in what other people think and you don’t allow their opinions to derail what you need and want. You CHOOSE yourself first consistently because you know that taking care of yourself will allow you to be in better service to those around you. You take more RISKS in your life, try new things, feel resourced to be more independent and know that you are also worthy of love, respect and receiving goodness in your life. You CONNECT with what it JOYFUL to you and you hold that as sacred.

Don’t take my word for it… below is a video interview with a client after ONE session together. I can only imagine what kind of healing, transformation, and power she’ll step into in the coming months. When we unlock something at the core, the possibilities are limitless.

Fully claiming your life is no small thing. It IS possible to heal from the past and show up as the sensitive caring person that you are while trusting your intuition to lead the way.

You’re invited to work with me:

Private Healing and Mentoring to RECLAIM YOURSELF, ENERGY and POWER

This is a specially designed Private Healing & Mentoring Immersion (6 months) kicks off with a 90 minute intensive session to explore what is happening for you in this moment, what you’d like to focus on in our time together and how you would like to feel.

Empowerment is KEY in our work together. If you live your life on the edge of overwhelm, feeling a lot, not knowing what to do with those feelings and having a challenging time in personal relationships where you want to be more seen and heard, you are in the right place.

At the core, I believe there are early patterns & programming that contribute to this and they can be shifted at a conscious and subconscious level as we bring awareness to what is truly going on and work on an energetic, emotional and even spiritual level. I’ve worked with hundreds of women where an emotional release around an unresolved and almost always unconscious past issue has freed so much energy within — this stuck energy can prevent us from feeling worthy, from truly knowing that our needs and wants are important, from fully expressing ourselves, living in fear and anxiety and even allowing others comments to deeply affect us in a negative way even when they are not true.

As our inner wounds are healed, they transform and do not show up on the outside in the same way and certainly can not be triggered by the comments of another.

We will move through a process I’ve curated working with clients over the years… though healing is NOT linear and it’s natural to re-visit areas of our lives as we heal deeper layers — below is the context in which I support your healing & evolution:

Increase awareness around patterns of overgiving and help you shift this so you can allow yourself to receive and feel more nourished in relationships
Process and heal your anxiety/past trauma through a body based approach so you feel grounded and can be more yourself with those around you
Re-connect to your body and recognize what is yours versus someone else’s so you can tune into your intuition and confidently trust your instincts when communicating your needs with those you care about
Integrate this new way of being through personalized feedback and support so you feel happier, more yourself and solid in your relationships

Our sessions over the course six months focus on healing or integration depending on what you are moving through and you have my full support and attention in between sessions — because for me, this is where so much shifts… all the triggers come up, we need support in real time to help us gain perspective, know that someone hears us and WANTS to hear from us, AND know that we are truly being held while moving through massive internal change.

You’ll understand the dynamics that have been running your life, notice where you’ve been at the mercy of other’s thoughts, opinions or moods, experience more self-trust, a sense of inner confidence and peace and know that you are worthy of receiving and attract more connected and fulfilling relationships with people who see and appreciate you.

When we heal these deeper places, we can tap into our sensitivity and intuition that becomes stronger on the other side.

“I’ve gained a lot of tools that are helpful when I feel a little off balance. One of the ways that my life has been impacted has been in the way that I view and interact with difficult emotions. Before working with Manisha I would have ignored a lot of the hard emotions I was experiencing but I have since learned how to really feel into these difficult feelings and allow them to move through me instead. This change has brought more peace into my life. I accept and trust myself more because I know myself better now.”

“Overall, I feel more calm. I definitely understood more about boundaries and energy conservation by the end of our time together. I had many sessions where I could see the things that triggered me in day to day interactions and untangle what did or did not need to be addressed. I would recommend working with Manisha if you want to work with both your mind and body to learn skills for calming your nervous system. I valued that it wasn’t just one or the other. I also found it very relieving that she is both logical and intuitive, and has a deep understanding of the philosophies behind her work.”

At first, I was nervous and felt silly for explaining my issues, but Manisha’s calm and reassuring presence made me feel like any feeling/thought/emotion I shared was valid. She strikes the perfect balance of trusted friend who “gets you” and an experienced professional who knows the right resources and tools to support you. Even a year after our first coaching session, I continue to use the resources and practices that we discussed to support myself. Specifically, I have found her brief, recorded grounding and clearing meditations valuable for times when I need to tune into my emotions. The intangible results are the most valuable to me after working with Manisha. If I am being honest, I probably went into our session thinking like a busy young professional. I wanted to explain my issue and walk out with a few tools (journaling prompts, breathing techniques, etc.) to “fix” my situation. But working with Manisha helped me to understand that you need to take the time to be with your emotions. We worked through what was really going on under the surface, and while I did walk out with plenty of helpful tools and resources, the most important lesson was learning that it’s ok to feel however you feel for as long as you feel it. That “tuning in” helped me again several months later when I was having trouble sleeping. Instead of brushing it off, I acknowledged that it was my body’s way of telling me to listen to my emotions. Looking back, I can’t believe I ever hesitated because taking time to work with Manisha was a transformative experience.

“Working with Manisha has created huge ripple effects in my life – I feel more creative and open and I trust my body more, which is so valuable. I felt truly held and able to express things I usually hesitate talking about because Manisha is great at creating safe, non-judgemental spaces for deep inquiry. I was able to see some very long held patterns more clearly and made plans to shift and resolve things that are no longer serving me. Most importantly I feel more compassion for myself and more confident about moving forward. This was a quantum leap in my healing.”

“Our sessions brought me awareness of what past experiences may be coloring how I view the world and what happens around me. Having that knowledge is an important tool when I’m faced with difficult situations and it helps me understand my gut reaction to things may be a reflection of that learning rather than true intuition. For example, one of the things we talked about was my need to take care/protect people around me and I’m now more prone to pause and assess whether a situation really warrants my intervention. It also helped me talk to my husband about some of the things I have been thinking about and feeling more clearly and without as much reaction and fear of judgment.”

“My sessions with Manisha happened at the right time of my life, when I was feeling a sense of disconnect with my own body and mind. Each session was a revelation in itself and I felt ‘incredible,’ ‘overjoyed,’ or ‘amazed.’ Manisha has an incredible breadth of knowledge on a variety of topics and conversations are always very east. It is also incredible how she always recommends resources and book that directly speak to you. In one word, what she does it pure ‘magic.’ I know this is a personal process and I am very blessed to have her as part of my support system in this journey of self-discovery.”

Frequently Asked Questions

HOW DOES IT WORK?

I combine my years of experience, background and knowledge of the body, physiology, yoga, meditation, energy work, craniosacral therapy, spiritual and healing practices to guide you to your body’s knowing… we begin with a conversation so you have an opportunity to express what you have been moving through… based on what you are sharing, we move through various deep guided processes where I tune into your energy with permission and ask you questions to help you go deeper into your own psyche to free up stuck, energy and find the answers you are looking so you are fully empowered in your own healing, you can clear old patterns, move into self-trust and confidence that you know the next right step for your life and stand in the power of your inner knowing. We then take some time for integration to talk about what happened and how best to integrate what you experienced into your relationships, work, health or other areas of your life.

WHO IS THIS NOT FOR?

This may not be for you if:

  • You are brand new to your spiritual or evolutionary journey and don’t have much experience tuning into your body through yoga, meditation or other internal practices
  • You are looking to work with someone in person
  • You have experienced a high level of trauma and are in the beginning stages of learning how to resource yourself
  • You are looking for someone to heal or clear something for you. This is a vey co-creative process where your full participation is required

WHAT IF I WANT LONGER TERM SUPPORT?

As we continue our work together, we can together assess whether you would like to continue on beyond this time. Growth and evolution are ongoing and we need various types and amounts of support along the way. We can be in close communication about your needs as we continue and can extend our time together as appropriate.

How much longer are you willing to wait to step into the life you were meant to live?

Many of the women I work with have spent years on personal development and may have been to many healers, practitioners, workshops and therapists over the years…. AND it’s all good … it’s brought you to where you are now — ready to heal at an even deeper level.

When you work with awareness, your body, your subconscious AND connecting in with your soul, you can heal so many layers simultaneously, it’s impossible not to feel the changes in your own self of confidence, self-trust and create changes in your outer world with so much more ease.

A little about your guide…

Hi! I’m Manisha…nice to meet you!

I love supporting my clients to understand, heal and transform past experiences that are getting in the way of having authentic and real relationships where they are seen and heard for who they truly are… in our work together, we dive into the subconscious and connect to their body wisdom to access core experiences that can not access from thinking or memory alone to support healing from the inside out. Through a combination of energetic and practical work, my clients develop more trust in themselves, know they are more worthy than what they have allowed into their lives up until now, and are able to build up their emotional resilience to have the more difficult conversations without fear of judgement and create more nourishing relationships.

I use my intuition and expertise in somatic healing practices, psychology, energy healing, and meditation to support you in healing your past and living in the present. Imagine feeling more grounded, having greater clarity and confidence in who you are, and being able to ask for and receive what you need.
