I’m travelling with Koushi Akka for over two years, and she was always so kind, Cheerfully , energetic and supportive. I also took her one-month personal counselling sessions, which helped me a lot during my tough times. After each session, I felt more so relaxed, confident and ready to move forward. She listens carefully, understands me, and guides me without any judgment. Her advice and action plans after each sessions helps me to come out from my trauma’s. So useful.
And Dharani Akka is also very sweet. She checked in regularly to see how I was doing, always in a caring and pressure-free way.

I visited kousalya mam for a couple session also for self healing were I was too much stressed due to office zork not able to balance both family and office work then I heard about koushi visited her she is an exceptional, experienced, jovial, and a very positive person. She understands the core issue and guided me throughout my sessions which was very effective. special mention to dharani, saravanan who kept me motivated and active by giving very interesting tasks in whats up along with book reading which bought my innerside
❤️ Without having a second thought I would recommend people who are in the need of therapy should come and book a session. Thanks a lot kousalya Mam Stay blessed 😊😇

I had been a part of 14 day detox challenge which took me to the subsequent programs like RRR which was an intense 21 day program that transfor.ed me a whole lot better and I could find what I am capable of instead of the vicious cycle I rlran into with problems in my life. Every task was meant to understand my inner me and I could feel very light with it. All credits to Koushalya, Dharani and saravanan. They are always available and its become more of a common habit for me to implement any grounding technique whenever I m feeling overwhelmed or overthinking although I dont feel it very often. My go to people for handling anything mentally is one of them nowadays. They are more like a family to me now. I have started getting my family members joined in the programs needed as they are surprised to see he difference in me. DWC programs are a boon as it aids in inner healing further aimed at one area per month. My only thought is to break the trauma cycle and the baggage we carried over from our parents or childhood incidents so that I will be able to guide and regulate my children's emotions and make them do it. More to come and Way to go Team D.

I joined the Deekshalaya Wellness Community (DWC) in November 2024 after being drawn to their '90s Kids' theme. Since then, I have loved being a member of DWC. Ms. Koushalya and Mr. Saravanan are extremely knowledgeable in addressing the themes they introduce. They are both empathetic and ensure the well-being of each DWC member. Their live sessions, first thing in the morning, help us start our day with gratitude while emphasizing the importance of SAVERS in our daily lives. I truly enjoy being part of DWC and would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a judgment-free space focused on well-being and personal growth.

I attended deekshalaya wellness online session in Oct 2023, really I could see lots of differences in my life. My mental health was worse because of postpartum. I learned more about yoga , meditation, cognitive brain therapy , couple relationship, parenting and more.Each day each session is a learning experience and the support group where the community is a non judgemental group where we share a lot about our experiences together and help each other. They are providing services at affordable prices, still am continuing my membership to practice, learn and for my better mental health.Always grateful to Koushi mam and Saravanan sir.

Happy to share my feedback about Deekshalaya wellness community.. Being a paediatrician myself, and understanding the importance of Google review for any brand I would like to add my review here..
I had been a part of the Deekshalaya wellness community for last 3months..I would say it as a life transforming journey as a woman..Kowsalya and Saravanan sir are really doing a good job of utilizing their knowledge in the most needed topic of current generation - caring for our mental health..in this fast runing world we concentrate more on our growth,family etc.but as woman,we forget to care about our mental wellness..this community gives you a lot of oppurtunity to sit back,think and reflect on your life ,take informed decisions,change your unwantedbehaviours,be more focused ,moreover a community of women to support you and encourage you..starting the day withtheir prompt Journaling is the best start one can give for the day.As a paediatrician ,seeing ao many moms with worries,I would strongly recommend any post partum mom to join our community and have a happy parenting and paeceful living
