Hi I am,
Shalin Kripalani Lele

My mission with my work is to offer women the support they need to live a full-cup life. Where their wellbeing is at the forefront. I get to know where you are at - whether you are seeking healing from a pattern; or simply looking to build a healthier, more fulfilling life. Some women need more support because of childhood challenges, high ACES (adverse childhood experiences) such as emotional neglect or lack of maternal/family support.

It is inbuilt within us to heal, move towards greater joy and both neuroscience + spirituality show us that so beautifully. My learnings in both somatic healing and brain health show that the brain and body can heal with the right input and support.

I focus on somatic + brain health via:

> WELLBEING MAPS: Learn what you need for your wellbeing with the option to build a custom journal that allows you to live that life everyday

> MAMA GODDESS SESSIONS : Work through unmet attachment needs so you learn how to honor and love yourself in your real everyday life.

> EMOTIONAL REGULATION TOOLKIT: Build your emotional regulation muscle so you can increase your window of wellbeng.

> CUSTOM JOURNALS: To work through patterned emotions related to childhood emotional neglect, people pleasing/over empathy and creating healthy boundaries; because gratitude does not come easily when there are stored emotions.

I work to give you a brain-body toolkit to release strongly patterned emotions, support your nervous system to make space for joy, and create a healthier brain so you can meet your highest, authentic self.

I am not a therapist, I am someone who has lived through a LOT including grief, emotional neglect, learned helplessness and shame. Most of my learnings and certifications have happened as a result of seeking a relief for my emotional suffering.

When I was little, I had a deep craving to know myself, and to know why we are here. I later learned that it had to do with many things – a desire for conscious, value based living; emotional wounds, and of course my big T trauma (losing my mom as a toddler).

My favorite guide, Dr. Gabor Mate speaks of authenticity over attachment, and interestingly since I didn’t have secure attachment, I was lucky to be offered space for authenticity. Authenticity allowed me to grow and show up to live my courageous life that honors my self energy (versus the habitual, conditioned self often expected by society) Now, I have worked on my unmet attachment needs, and emotional dysregulation with awareness + an everyday somatic toolkit. I am the secure, whole, evolving self I always sought in another and know how to navigate challenges better than before.

My first somatic teacher taught me that nature is the best healer, so if you need some magic or healing today – go into nature.

I am here to grow into my authentic self and support and witness others on their journeys. Let’s glow up together.

My journey

TW: parental loss, emotional neglect, sexual abuse, narcisstic abuse

My mother passed away when I was 2, leaving me in a perpetual fight-flight mode, without a motherly hand in this journey called life. I was looked after by my loving aunt and uncle (who I referred to as Mom & Dad) and my biological father. I was loved and supported but that Traumatic experience at such a young age left deep imprints on my body, safety and patterns. I felt emotionally disconnected, and so broken inside. I later learned that this was related to unmet attachment needs.

My internal state was one of pain, sadness and anger. I experienced a major rollercoaster of emotions, and like most people born in the 80s didn’t have the tools to cope. My external life flowed, but my relationships and friendships mirrored my lack of self-worth and suffering. I sought meaning in over-giving and in love; so desperate to be loved that I settled a lot. My relationships were either one-sided or emotionally abusive; and one became a cause of intimacy trauma due to a violation of physical boundaries.

I had always turned inward towards my inner growth – with journaling, and yoga but I was still struggling inside. Shortly after I turned 25, between a lonely life in NYC, lack of sleep + fulfillment - I was diagnosed depressed. I worked with a  wonderful therapist; and I also realized that my achievements didn’t define me. I was more.

Yet, my trauma stress loop was active in my body. The chaos was still alive.

The trauma stress loop does not close with time - it must be actively addressed with the right tools.

Years later, I woke up to the world after the birth of my child. My many wounds were now activated in my physical body, including a very deep mother wound. I was trying to be my best self for my child, yet I was experiencing so much inner pain.

The breaking point was experiencing narcissistic abuse, because any people-pleaser knows that we’re a magnet for that.

I found a craniosacral therapist in Mumbai who helped relieve some of my stress patterns and introduced me to somatic work. I ended up working with other amazing practitioners and benefitted from healing modalities like Psyche K, Access Consciousness, Family Constellations, Parts Work, EFT etc. The healing journey has been a long and transformative one. I truly believe that any road that helps you find your home base, is the right one for you. For me, it was somatic work that was the foundation of healing a 35+ year long challenge.

Since then, I have studied and been certified in:

> Somatic Attachment Therapy,

> Integrative Somatic Parts work;

> Attachment & Neurodevelopment,

>The Biology of Freeze and Overwhelm and

>The Biology of Grief and Gut Health (as part of the Biology of Trauma by Dr Aimie)

I am in the midst of my professional Biology of Trauma Certification by THA.

> Specialized EFT training - Margaret Lynch Raniere

I am also a certified Dr Amen Brain Health Licensed Trainer

My work focuses on intuitive guidance to your inner world, building an emotional toolkit, nervous system regulation and improving your overall baseline of wellbeing so you can make more decisions from a healed place. This will allow your standards to shift, so that be it in self care or dating - you create a supportive environment for yourself.
