She is particularly passionate about supporting those who feel caught between expectations (whether cultural, relational, or personal) and who are seeking clarity, ease, and a deeper sense of self.

She brings a grounded, gentle presence and an insight-oriented approach to her work, fostering an environment where clients can feel supported and understood. Whether you are processing past experiences, working to strengthen your relationships, or simply wanting to better understand yourself, Nivedita offers a space where healing can unfold naturally, and where you are supported to move toward connection and wholeness.
