a letter for you

Dear human,

I deeply trust and am constantly awed by the wisdom of every unique being. I don't think we can heal ourselves. I believe we can create a supportive environment within our human system so that life can move through us and essentially, heal us.

How to create that supportive environment? That is different for everyone. Measures in different dimensions of the body be it physical, emotional, systemic or other subtle ways. There are hundreds and thousands of modalities out there that support us in creating and environment where life can move through us freely and "heal us".
The idea is that our human system becomes a supportive environment for life to move through. We don't need to fix anything. We need our human system, our body to be a vessel that can receive life, receive healing, receive nourishment.

I see healing as a process of learning to be ourselves in this human body. Learning to inhabit this body in our natural expression.

Practicing as a medical doctor for a brief period gave me a peak into the distance between us and the wisdom of the body. I got a chance to witness the dominion and control over the body, dismissal of its knowing, fear and mistrust in body. All stemming from disconnect from the body, the feminine, life, mother. Somewhere along the line we landed on the idea that body knows nothing, and we need to control.

Whatever the modality, whatever the wellness practice, the foundation of trust in the wisdom of body is what determines how that external medicine or practice meets us and affects us.

My mission, my desire is to facilitate a return to the gentle wisdom of the body, of life. To return to the dignity to the body. To facilitate a return to the damp, nourishing care of the feminine.

My life unfolded in early years as an academic, and while those topics still interest my curious mind, I am an artist at heart. And you are the art.

YOU, human has everything you need within you. I am just another human walking with you on your path as a witness to your unfolding. All I have to offer to you is the gift of seeing. Seeing the art that is YOU.

I don't think there is anything wrong with you that needs to be fixed and therefore you need to heal. I am only here to walk with you if you desire to feel more alive, whole and move towards living a life that feels true to you. Living your life, not someone else's contracts. That is healing for me. Shifting from being a container for someone else's contracts to being a container to the life that wants to move through you.

As a doctor I became witness to a collective loss of connection to the body. As a human witnessing suffering in self, I became witness to the aliveness of the body, to the wisdom of the body. Now I work collectively to bring back the dignity to body. I work because I honor life.

I've experienced

What we know as chronic illness of endometriosis
stabbing menstrual pains
Relentless body tension
Highly sensitive human system
Chronic depression
in private and group settings, for 7-8 years, my own journey of healing facilitated by practitioners from various modalities (~15) which has given me lived experience of this work and varied perspectives on life, human body, illness and interconnectedness of all that exists.

I've also

Trained and worked as a medical doctor
Trained and held space for humans as an emotional release facilitator and life coach
Dove into the depths of yogic wisdom from my lineage
Curiously explored wisdom of Ayurved, Chinese medicine and systemic therapy & family constellations and recieved them as a patient/client and student both.

my teachers

Grief

touched my heart and showed me my capacity to love. Grief also came in as a force of renewal, a facilitator of death and rebirth. She brought the fire that taught me how to let go, the waters that quenched my thirst for old, and the ground that held me in the void of the "in-between", of the becoming. Grief became my friend, my teacher, my guide when I was learning to witness myself; and then initiated me into the witnessing of human.

Guilt

taught me something valuable about the nature of life. Guilt taught me the balance in exchange between life that moves in one with the life that moves in another. Guilt taught me self-responsibility. Which means guilt showed me the power and wisdom that moves in every single one of us. Guilt offered me gift of belonging. Guilt guided me into taking my place in the world and allowing myself to receive. And it continues to humble me.

Depression

taught me the lessons of sadness. Patience, compassion and the art of witnessing. Depression created a space for me where I could learn to receive nourishment. Where I could lay in the winter, dormant as a seed, preparing for the spring. It taught me to slow down, to honor my pace and to value the qualities given to me by life. It taught to me to honor all the seasons of life.

Victimhood

broke me, remolded me and initiated me into the art of unconditional loving witnessing. It taught me patience and compassion. It opened my eyes in a way that sees the intelligence of every expression of life. It opened my heart to a kind of compassion that sees strength in parts that we deem as "weak". Victimhood humbled me.

Anger

Anger has been my ally, teacher and a force that constantly brings me close to nature, my natural expression. It has helped me connect to the wisdom of feminine and embrace the structure of masculine. In the process of shedding, anger is what brought safety to my nervous system to facilitate the "letting go". In the process of rebuilding, anger is what carved out the new edges, the new boundaries and gave me shape. Anger taught me how to love and let go. Anger taught me love without needing to own. Anger has taught me how to love and hold boundaries. Anger has taught me how to hold love and rage together. Anger taught me how to truly love.

Physical Pain

taught me the language of the body, art of slowness, medicine of breath, patience, compassion and presence. It brought my attention to different aspects of my body and life, asking, sometimes screaming to be witnessed and reclaimed. Witnessing physical pain taught me the art of non-attachment. When I witnessed physical pain come and go in vipassana, without changing posture, without any movement, just presence, it shifted the relationship with pain on a cellular level. In this experience pain taught me the impermanent nature of everything in existence.

Human Body

My dearest special interest that finds its way back to me in everything I do. A marvelous expression, gross manifestation of life. Witnessing human body from inside out in its physical form, and then sensing into its more subtle layers, has given me a peak into the nature of life and facilitated my work.

Clients, patients, humans

taught me and teach me everything about diversity, and the spectrum of human expression. They have taught me the art of showing up with an open and humble heart, honoring the whole spectrum of human expression.

Earth

taught me unconditional love and nourishment, she molded me into my natural shape and held me in my becoming. She holds me.

Delhi

this city of contrast taught me along with anger, how to hold paradox together. It provided me with opportunities also that humbled me out of ego hierarchical conditioning. It continues to.

Animals

so far have taught me about unconditional love, about nature of survival, community and life.

"The session with Nitisha brought the unfinished process of what happened during my son's birth up and was the witnessed space I needed for closure. I felt deeply held and respected in my bodys own intelligence of what came up naturally while supported in staying with my own experience until it reached completion. Nitisha opened the space for my movements, emotions and voice to arise and gently encouraged expression. This was the first time for me to feel anger as empowerment and a claiming back of myself. I feel that the emotions and unfinished bodily responses could finally integrate and I am deeply grateful for her guidance."

"My experience with Nitisha through this creative photoshoot was healing, emotional and expansive. She gently guided me toward expressing what felt real and raw. What began as ‘trying’ to feel embodied slowly transformed, through her presence and vision, into releasing awkwardness, allowing me to feel free and loose in my expression. Being guided to place presence and attention on different parts of my body and noticing how each wanted to be expressed as they were being captured felt like a liberation of long held shame. “As I look back at these photos, I can feel my essence and beauty expressed through each one of them and often find myself in tears. In tears of awe - for Mother Nature, for my body as an extension of her and for the sacred space that was created for that expression . Holding on to this capsule of time"

"Hello nitisha, I don't know how to accurately describe what happened during the session, but I'll let my heart speak. Your calmness, the depth of your voice, and your presence helped my nervous system relax and reveal its true nature, with its vulnerabilities and emotions, without any defense mechanisms. Also, the gentleness and rhythm were perfectly suited to my body, without any pushing or coercion. I discovered things about myself that I hadn't noticed before, even though I've worked on myself a lot.through the discussion, we discovered a new depth and a new layer of myself. If I had to sum it up in one word, I'd say it was a rebirth. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."

"Im very grateful you encouraged me to bring my baby and held space for us as a unit. In this time where I’m giving so much and I’m almost constantly on alert, it felt so nice to receive and be held, and to take the time to consciously tune into the body. It was a lovely experience to meet so much positivity, joy, lust for live and drive to create within me. Before that, I used to have a hard time relaxing when I had things to do, cause I would be scared to loose my energy once I allow myself to pause. Now, after our session, I feel so confident that there is a never-ending energy source within me and that life knows exactly how it wants to be lived through me. Now I feel at ease to take time out to excessively chill and connect with my baby, and then again enter into super constructive & creative work mode when conditions are right. Thank you so much for this cleansing session"
