When Chhavi Damani left behind a secure academic career to follow her passion for healing, she knew she was stepping into the unknown. What she didn’t know was that this leap would lead her to build one of the most holistic and integrative healing practices in India — Chaitanya Healing — a space where psychology meets spirituality, and science walks hand in hand with soul.
“The belief holding me back was: would I be able to earn as much as I was earning as a professor? As psychologists, we’re often told we can’t earn more. Breaking that belief and stepping into Chaitanya full time was one of the biggest shifts in my life.”
From the Classroom to Consciousness
Chhavi’s journey began in academia. With a Master’s degree in Psychology, she started her professional life as a PGT teacher, later transitioning into a college professor role. But alongside her teaching career, she was quietly nurturing another path — conducting workshops and therapy sessions that explored healing beyond the conventional.
“I realized that while the mind seeks logic, the body and spirit hold wisdom that also needs attention,” she explains. “People often struggle with hidden blocks, unresolved family patterns, and unexpressed emotions. I wanted to create a safe space where all dimensions of being — mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual — could be addressed together.”
This calling gave birth to Chaitanya Healing, a name that means awareness and living life with purpose and mindfulness.
Bridging Science and Spirit
Chhavi’s unique strength lies in her ability to bridge worlds that are often seen as separate. On one side, she brings the rigor of evidence-based psychology. On the other, she draws from diverse healing traditions. Over the years, she has trained in:
- Hypnotherapy
- Regression Therapy (Netherlands)
- Family and Business Constellations (Netherlands)
- Crystal Healing
- Sound Therapy
- Art Therapy
- Tarot
“Very often, psychologists dismiss healing and energy work because it can’t always be scientifically proven. But I’ve seen transformations that go far beyond what talk therapy alone can achieve,” she says. “Working only at the conscious level can be temporary. We need to heal at the roots, which often lie in the past.”
At Chaitanya Healing, clients are offered integrative solutions — a blend of psychotherapy and spiritual tools that allow them to reconnect, release, and rebuild.
Filling the Gaps in Mental Health
The mental health landscape has long struggled with polarization. Mainstream psychology emphasizes logic and cognitive strategies, while alternative practices often bypass scientific grounding. Chhavi Damani spotted the gap.
“There was a need for a holistic space where someone could receive therapeutic support that is both grounded in psychology and open to spiritual healing,” she shares.
Chhavi Damani Chaitanya Healing has stepped into this space with offerings such as:
- 1:1 Sessions combining psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, and energy healing
- Workshops & Retreats on inner child healing, generational trauma, grief, money, relationships, leadership, and more
- Constellation Circles to uncover hidden family and business dynamics
- Sound & Art Therapy Experiences for creative and emotional release
- Corporate Trainings that bridge leadership, psychology, and healing
The Roadblocks Along the Way
Like any entrepreneurial journey, Chaitanya Healing’s path wasn’t without obstacles. One of the biggest was skepticism.
“Initially, people found it hard to accept that therapy and healing could be combined. Many expected quick fixes,” Chhavi Damani recalls. “But true healing is not instant. It can show results immediately, within 21 days as new habits form, and up to 90 days to become a lifestyle — as also supported by neuroscience.”
Educating clients about this natural timeline of change and building patience was crucial.
On the business front, Chhavi Damani also had to learn entrepreneurship: revamping social media, redoing her website, creating SOPs, pricing sessions, and managing financial risks.
“Leaving a stable job was daunting. There were times I questioned if I was ready. But each challenge taught me resilience and reaffirmed my purpose.”
Milestones that Mattered
For Chhavi Damani, one of the most transformative moments came when she started facilitating Constellation Workshops and Corporate Trainings.
“These sessions brought together diverse groups of people who witnessed deep transformations within hours,” she says. “To see generational wounds, workplace issues, and hidden dynamics surface and heal in real time was powerful.”
Another breakthrough was conducting Business Constellations for an Indian mill — proof that healing can support not only individuals but also organizations.
What is a Business Constellation?
A Business Constellation is a visual and experiential process that allows founders, leaders, and teams to explore the “systemic field” of their business — uncovering unseen relationships, loyalties, entanglements, and energetic imbalances that affect success and harmony.
It examines aspects such as:
- Organizational Structure & Roles
Founders, leadership hierarchy, and recognition of all members. - Ownership & Financial Flow
Investors, profit distribution, financial health, and debts. - History of the Company
Founding story, past crises, or unresolved failures. - Leadership & Management Style
Alignment, leadership gaps, burnout, or over-identification. - Employees & Teams
Motivation, loyalty, conflicts, or favoritism. - Clients, Customers, & Market
Relationship with the market, competition, and cultural shifts. - Products & Services
Alignment with customer needs, failed innovations, or ethics. - External Environment
Legal, political, or social influences. - Hidden Systemic Loyalties
Family or inherited business patterns that influence decision-making.
“When I was stuck or not getting clients, I did a Business Constellation for myself,” Chhavi Damani shares. “It helped me identify misalignments and clarify strategies to move forward.”
Today, she is among the few in India facilitating Business Constellations, using this systemic approach to help businesses realign energy, goals, and success.
Looking Ahead: The Next Five Years
“In the next five years, I see Chaitanya becoming a global platform for integrative healing,” Chhavi Damani shares.
“We’ll train future healers in combining psychology, therapy, and energy work, and expand into corporate wellness to promote conscious leadership.”
Her goal: empower thousands globally to break free from limiting patterns and live with joy, ease, and wholeness.
