Sneha Maheshwri · Inner child, ancestral & womb healing

Trauma-informed therapy for people who look like they have it all together.

Q: What kind of therapist are you, exactly?

Sneha Maheshwri is a trauma-informed therapist, trainer and coach. She is not a psychiatrist or clinical psychologist and does not prescribe medication or make diagnoses. She is certified in the Advanced Intergenerational Trauma Coaching Certification Program (the Deka Method) with Dr. Gaurav Deka, 2023 to 2024, and in Basic Inner Child Healing in Systemic and Family Therapy with Dr. Gaurav Deka under Cognial Healers Academy, 2023. She has also studied online with Suzi Tucker without certification. She is not certified in TRE or Internal Family Systems.

Q: Who do you usually work with?

She works with overachievers who are quietly burning out, adults carrying childhood wounds, people stuck in painful relationship loops, and those who feel lost in their identity or weighed down by generational pain. Many clients appear to be functioning well from the outside.

Q: Do you work online, and can I work with you from outside India?

Yes. All sessions and trainings are held online on Zoom. Sneha is based in India and works in IST, with clients across India and abroad, in English and Hindi.

Q: Is this a replacement for psychiatric treatment or medication?

No. This work is therapeutic and educational and does not replace psychiatric treatment, medication, or crisis care. Some clients do this work alongside medical treatment or after tapering off medication under a doctor's supervision.

Q: How do we begin, and is the first call free?

The first consultation is free. Clients fill in a questionnaire first, then speak with Sneha for sixty to ninety minutes. If the work is not a fit, she will say so and suggest alternatives. Enquiries start through the contact page.

Q: How long does this take?

It depends on the person. A single family constellation session can produce a significant shift, while long-standing patterns usually need a twelve or twenty-four session journey. Outcomes vary and no specific result is guaranteed.

I was the overachiever. The perfectionist. The one who always had it together — until the cracks beneath the surface could no longer stay hidden.

What does a trauma-informed therapist actually do?

A trauma-informed therapist works with the pattern underneath the problem rather than the problem you came in describing. I am Sneha Maheshwri, a trauma-informed therapist, trainer and coach. I help people uncover the stories they have unconsciously carried, from childhood, from the womb, and from the generations before them, so they can reconnect with who they were always meant to be. Sessions are one to one and online.

01How I came to this work

I did not find trauma healing as a student. I found it as someone who needed it.

Behind the gold stars and the good-girl mask were quiet years of depression, relationship pain, self-worth struggles, and one aching question that refused to go away: who am I, really?

That question led me to the world of trauma healing. Not as a student first, but as someone deeply in need of the work. I went looking for a technique and found something closer to a reckoning.

Today I am a trauma-informed therapist, trainer and coach, trained in a multidisciplinary approach that weaves together inner child healing, intergenerational trauma resolution, family constellation work, womb healing, and somatic practices rooted in nervous system regulation.

This is not just my profession. It is my path, my purpose, and the most meaningful work I know.

I have sat with people who arrived apologising for taking up time. Who described a childhood as “not that bad” in the first ten minutes and then wept in the fortieth. Who had already read every book, done every course, and still could not work out why the same thing kept happening to them.

What I have learned is that we do not suffer because of events alone. We suffer because of the meanings our nervous system quietly assigned to them, years before we had any say in it. Change the event and nothing moves. Reach the meaning and everything does.

02Who I work with

If your life looks fine and feels heavy, you are in the right place.

I work with overachievers who are quietly burning out, adults carrying childhood wounds, and people stuck in painful relationship loops. I also support those who feel lost in their identity or weighed down by generational pain.

Whether you are navigating depression, self-worth struggles, or just feeling like you have lost touch with who you really are, your story is safe here. We sit with it all. No shame. No judgment. No rush.

This is where the healing begins. And where your truth returns.

What people usually arrive with

The same fight, in every relationship
Achievement that never converts into rest
A mother wound nobody in the family names
Anger that frightens you around your children
Money that will not stay, for no clear reason
Grief that arrived generations before you
A body that will not let go, though the mind understands
Numbness after years of managing everyone

03Ways to heal

Four doors into the same room.

I do not run one modality and force every problem through it. We start with where your body is willing to begin, and the method follows from that.

1:1 Trauma Healing Sessions

For you, if the pattern keeps repeating and you cannot find the root of it

Ongoing one-to-one work that moves between inner child healing, ancestral and systemic work, and nervous system regulation, depending on what your body brings to each session.

Online, one to one, on Zoom. Twelve or twenty-four session journeys, each session 90 to 120 minutes.

Family Constellation Therapy

For you, if the problem does not feel like it started with you

A systemic session that makes the invisible structure of your family visible, so you can see which burdens are yours and which were handed to you.

Online, one to one or in a facilitated group, on Zoom.

Inner Child Healing

For you, if you are still trying to earn the love you should have been given

Work with the parts of you that learned to be good, quiet, useful or perfect in order to stay safe, and that are still running the show decades later.

Online, one to one, on Zoom. Usually part of a twelve or twenty-four session journey rather than a single sitting.

Womb Healing

For you, if the fear feels older than any memory you can name

Work with the nine stages of womb imprints: what you absorbed from your mother's emotional world before you had language, and what your body still organises itself around.

Online, one to one, on Zoom.
