After achieving an All-India Rank in Chartered Accountancy in Calcutta, Manjari Agrawal held Executive roles in Fortune 500 companies before realizing that although she was making enough money to lead a successful life, but the passion for working with people was there. Since childhood, she was encouraged to become a Chartered Accountant because her father was one but she was drawn towards spirituality and the mental well-being space.
She started practicing Yoga in school and learned Reiki Healing in college to manage the stress, anxiety and fear of performance she faced as a student. When Manjari embraced alternate healing practice, she experienced profound transformation in her own life. She started noticing a drastic change as the stress, fear and anxiety faded, replaced by a deep sense of joy, happiness, and peace.
Although, this may sound like everything happened easily and she healed in a blink of eye, but the truth is, it took many years of disciplined practice. Although, she used to meditate regularly after college, which provided some relief, but stress, anxiety, and fear remained constant companions despite her academic and corporate success. Only after regular therapy sessions in the alternative healing space things started turning around for her.
In 2022, Manjari Agrawal launched her first Therapy based venture, Therapiva. She says, I knew my passion would lead me somewhere I belonged," she shared. Therapiva by Manjari Agrawal deals in Past Life Regression Therapy, Inner Child Healing, Reiki Healing and Family Constellation. Now, as a therapist and wellness coach, she has discovered her passion of working with people, and leads a life she wished for.
