Other approaches

Offered as individual sessions in person in Bellandur, Bangalore. Where Meena holds a certificate in an approach, it is listed; an approach being offered does not by itself imply a particular qualification.

Art Therapy

Art therapy uses drawing, painting and other forms of making as a way of expressing and reflecting on experience. No artistic skill or experience is needed.

Bio-neurofeedback

Biofeedback approaches use instruments to show a person information about their own bodily responses, so that these can be observed and worked with during a session.

Havening Techniques

Havening Techniques® is a method developed by Dr Ronald Ruden with Dr Steven Ruden. It combines gentle, soothing touch — to the arms, hands and face — with focused attention and simple guided activities, such as counting or imagining a calm scene.

Meena offers it as individual sessions in person, and separately teaches it in online workshops and training.

Trauma Tapping Technique (TTT) and EFT

Tapping methods involve gently tapping with the fingertips on a sequence of specific points on the body — traditionally described as meridian endpoints — while attending to a feeling or memory, with the aim of helping a person feel calmer.

Meena works with two related but distinct methods: the Trauma Tapping Technique (TTT), developed by Gunilla Hamne and Ulf Sandström of the Peaceful Heart Network, and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), developed by Gary Craig. She offers them as individual sessions in person, and separately teaches them in online workshops and training.
