Srijana Shrestha

She was also introduced to Vipassana meditation by her family to help with her studies which enabled her to appreciate the benefits that meditation can bring regarding concentration and the understanding of the nature of mind.
She has also been fortunate to receive Reiki-I course from her father. She has been handed down traditional therapeutic and beauty skills from her mother such as head massage, eyebrow threading, facial, henna treatment for hair, and much more.
