My name is Archana (yes I go by Archie too) and welcome to my wellness page! I’m a quirky individual who’s here to share about mental wellness from an evidence based, spiritual, yet practical lens in hope to spread awareness and ease into your life. If you haven’t guessed yet, I am also a licensed marriage and family therapist with experience in the field of psychology for over a decade, a mother of three, along with exposure to eastern spirituality definitely before I was even born!
Now these worlds have merged and the birth of this site comes from my crazy passion for enriching the relationships around us, raising kids with pride in their roots, and of course deepening the relationship with the higher power. I think we hear a lot about being “present” and “conscious” but are hardly shown how to incorporate that in our day-to-day lives, along with our society needing to understand how much of these type practices are rooted in Eastern philosophies.
Also, I really believe that in order for us to be fully present and accepting of others, we must truly understand and accept our own selves with the majority of the work coming from within. Doesn’t the task sound fun? Maybe it’s a lofty goal, but it’s worth a try.
So please join me as I share stories about the complexity of keeping up with society while deepening my spiritual practice, all while being a mother to three very inquisitive little kiddos – because motherhood is a huge proponent to my spiritual journey. Join me through honest reflections shared whole heartedly, thought provoking topics, mantra meditations, and occasional share of scientifically based tools and tips.
All in all, I hope that you can feel comforted, maybe with a few laughs, all while being inspired to be a more present FULL individual in your relationship with the world and your amazing self so you can feel peace often. Looking forward to learn and grow from each other through this journey!
Oh and one more thing – my writings can NOT be a substitute for actual therapy but If you are seeking mental health services I am happy to connect in a therapist-client relationship through my private practice. You can email me at wellnesswitharchana@gmail.com or visit my site where you can gain more information in regards to my additional areas of therapeutic focus.
