Nidhi Khurana is a certified Expressive Arts Therapist. Trained at advanced levels in a multi-modal approach, she facilitates powerful and potentially transformative spaces for individuals and groups for wellbeing and mental health. She has worked with groups of various compositions and backgrounds, from inmates of government-run observation homes and children in marginalised communities to cohorts of artists and employees in tech organisations. She also collaborates with organisations like MAP (Museum of Art and Photography) on education and outreach programs for various sections of the population. In her work with individuals, she has a depth-oriented trauma-sensitive private practice, both virtual and in-person.

Nidhi draws significantly from her own journey through the labyrinth of the inner world over the last 15 years. She traversed many spiritual paths before the inner roars brought her to the doorway of a therapeutic approach rooted in Jungian psychology, bringing together spirit and matter. Explorations of the psyche-soma interweavings through authentic movement, various forms of yoga like hatha-yin, breathwork-kriyas, esoteric practices of swara yoga-tattva shuddhi; dreamwork and visual art practices; psychodrama and free movement have been at the core of her process. This descent from the hegemony of the mind to the mysteries and intrigue of the body has brought her to the very powerful and nourishing space of the deep feminine. She sees her work as an emanation from and offering to that space.

Prior to her foray into the world of therapy and inner work, Nidhi had a decade-long tryst with the apparel retail and brand industry in analytics and business management along with a brief entrepreneurial stint in between.
