Amrita Madhusudan has always liked and been interested in people. As a child, she was a voracious reader, and the different people she met in different imaginary worlds fascinated her. She has always had a bent for learning and research, and that led her to study neuroscience and work on Alzheimer's disease for four years at the University of Zurich. The old saying, "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear" has certainly been true for Amrita. She discovered Louise Hay, Bruce Lipton, Jessica and Nick Ortner, and Dr. Rangana Rupavi Choudhuri when she needed them the most, and that started her journey along the path of alternative healing modalities. Over the last four years, she has explored different techniques, learning and applying them, for herself and her loved ones. Today, she is a practitioner of Matrix Reimprinting, NLP, Hypnotherapy, and Breakthrough Coaching, and will be an advanced practitioner of EFT by the end of the year. Amrita practices Vipassana meditation regularly, loves yoga and swimming, and still reads as much as she can! She and her sister own and run a handcrafted jewellery business, and she is also involved in a venture to make science more appealing to school children. She is happy to share what she's learned with others, and help them be the best versions of themselves.

Dr. Sudipto Chatterjee is a Psychiatrist who, after his MBBS schooling in Kolkata, obtained his MD in Psychiatry from the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS) at Bangalore. After completion of his MD, he worked as a Senior Registrar at NIMHANS for three years. Since then, he has worked in various places in India and Australia as a consultant Psychiatrist. His major body of work is around developing innovative and scientifically robust interventions and strategies for people with mental disorders in the community, especially for people who do not have access to treatments, like in rural communities.

His work in relation to community based rehabilitation for people with serious mental disorders has been adapted widely in India and other low and middle income countries in Asia and Africa. Dr. Chatterjee has published in high impact scientific journals like the Lancet and also worked closely with the World Health Organization in developing mental health services in places like Palestine, Vietnam and Sri Lanka. At present, he is leading two major initiatives related to improving services available in mental hospitals through the INCENSE program and in spreading community services in various parts of the country through the Jan Man Swasth Program.

She's Mridula Madhusudan, a counsellor by profession. She had been told that, even as a child, she had a marked empathy and kindness towards everyone. As she grew up, these qualities, as well as excellent listening skills, developed further, and she was naturally drawn to psychology, the human mind, and its myriad emotions. She possess a post graduate degree in counselling and psychotherapy, diplomas in counselling and life skills, and she is a certified practitioner of EFT, matrix reimprinting, NLP, hypnotherapy and breakthrough coaching. She has also done two Journey courses. Mridula has had life-long affairs with yoga and books, and loves her garden, cooking and meditation. Having learnt so many techniques, she realised that her own fears and limiting beliefs have been cleared. She has so much more self-confidence and self-esteem, and having seen the positive effects in her own life, she is excited to help others heal emotionally as well! The added benefit of often having some physical symptoms clear as well with emotional healing is wonderful!

I found a video which spoke about a strange technique which had instructions to tap on different parts of the body while making a few statements. It also spoke about instant shifts one experiences which is so quick and powerful.At that time,I did not know what EFT was and howit works. This led me to giving it a try before rejecting or ignoring it. There was a lot going on in my life at the time and health was a concern. I had wheezing and lung problems ever since childhood, and one day,I applied EFT on this and for the first time I could actually experience what it was like to have free flow breathing. Inspired by this shift, I worked even more on this and completely eliminated this problem. It has not returned since,and my next visit to the doctor left him surprised since he found my lungs to be 100% clear. I did my EFT practitioner certification course followed by case studies to become a practitioner.I am happy to say I am a practitioner with AAMET approved EFT certification today.

The experience of working on myself and my friends, gave me a lot of confidence to work with clients. Looking back at the progress,its just inspiring to know how my quality of life has improved. And I still continue to work on my self and with others, with amazing results.
