We believe the journey inward — towards knowing your emotions, allowing yourself to heal, and finding alignment within—is what creates real, lasting change in every area of life. Emotional awareness isn’t separate from success, health, or relationships. It is the foundation that strengthens them all.
Sangeeta Shah and Richa Parikh founded Cesta Holistic Healing Studio with one vision: to be a safe space where every person who walked in felt seen, held, and supported — exactly as they were.
As India’s premier holistic healing institute, we build deeply personalised pathways for people navigating fears and phobias, relationship and career blocks, health concerns, and even rare genetic disorders and cancers. No two journeys looked the same — and neither did our approach.
Our integrated modalities — including 20+ levels of ThetaHealing®, our proprietary Balanced Emotional Empowerment (BEE) framework, Applied Hypnosis, Past Life Regression, Metaphor Therapy, NLP, Chakra Healing, Hypnobirthing, and Vaastu knowledge — were woven together seamlessly so each person received something complete, customised, and genuinely theirs.
Over the years, people from all walks of life found meaningful shifts here — business leaders, doctors, entrepreneurs, actors, special educators, homemakers, therapists, students, and professionals. Many didn’t just transform their own lives — they went on to build strong healing careers, carrying emotional wellness into their work and communities. Collaborations with the Indian Army and other respected organisations showed us what we had always sensed: when emotional awareness grows at a collective level, the shift reaches far beyond the individual.
That realisation inspired the next evolution of our journey. We are now the Cesta Emotional Wellness Academy — with a vision that is bigger than ever. To elevate consciousness. To help people of all ages tap into their emotional intelligence through awareness, education, and the simple act of learning about themselves.
Because when a person truly learns, they don’t just gain tools for lifelong healing and balance. They transform, and in doing so, they inspire the world around them.
At Cesta, the door is open to everyone — individuals and groups, beginners and practitioners, those in crisis and those simply ready to grow. Through free weekly healing circles; educational content; individual sessions with qualified practitioners; self-paced courses; workshops; international certifications; graduate and master’s programmes; and mentorship trainings—wherever you are on your journey, you have a home here.
We are building a world where people master their emotions, lead with emotional wisdom, and create empowered, meaningful lives from within.
When learning within changes the world beyond.
She is the founder of Cesta Emotional Wellness Academy and Cesta Healing Studio—an internationally recognised space for deep emotional and spiritual transformation.
A Master ThetaHealer (Certificate of Science), past life regression therapist and coach, hypnotherapist, and creator of Balanced Emotional Empowerment (BEE)™️, she integrates intuition, science, and emotional insight to guide individuals toward inner alignment and authentic joy.
Sangeeta helps individuals uncover hidden emotional, karmic, and subconscious patterns that shape their thoughts, relationships, and life experiences. By addressing the root cause rather than symptoms, she enables lasting and meaningful transformation.
Using modalities like ThetaHealing®, BEE™, Inner Child Work, Past Life Regression, and Hypnotherapy, she supports individuals across emotional healing and spiritual growth. Her work also extends to advanced past-life exploration beyond human experiences. A distinctive aspect of her practice is proxy healing, allowing transformation even when the individual is not physically present.
At the core of her work is the BEE™️ technique—a structured, practical framework that empowers individuals to gain emotional clarity and shift lifelong patterns, making it a powerful tool for everyday life.
Sangeeta has contributed to emotional resilience initiatives with the Indian Army and has worked with organisations such as Godrej Properties, Bombay Stock Exchange, and Banas Dairy.
Her mission through Cesta is simple yet profound: to help people not just heal, but transform the way they experience life.
She is the co-founder of Cesta in India and the guiding force behind Cesta House of Healing in Hong Kong. Beginning her journey into healing at a young age, she brings over 18 years of experience as an internationally certified therapist and teacher, known for making emotional wellness feel practical, relatable and deeply transformative.
With a business degree from the University of Nottingham, UK, Richa blends intuitive depth with structured clarity. Her work integrates modalities such as Theta Healing®, NLP, inner child work, balanced emotional empowerment, hypnosis and energy healing to support individuals through relationship challenges, fears, physical ailments, career transitions and moments of feeling stuck.
Over the years, she has worked with a diverse range of individuals, including doctors, actors, therapists, special educators, business leaders, homemakers, mothers and entrepreneurs. Through each journey, one insight remains consistent—while healing creates change, learning the tools creates lasting empowerment.
Having taught over 200 courses and seminars, Richa’s true passion lies in equipping individuals and aspiring healers with the understanding of emotions and the subconscious mind, enabling them to confidently navigate life’s challenges and support others in doing the same. As a mother of two, she is especially committed to helping children and women build emotional awareness, empowering them to grow through life’s transitions with clarity and confidence.
Her work is rooted in the belief that when individuals understand their emotions, they don’t just heal—they gain the ability to create lasting transformation for themselves and those around them.
As Head of Strategy at Cesta, Sonam brings the full breadth of an unconventional career into one focused purpose—making emotional intelligence an essential life skill.
Having studied Architecture from the University of Edinburgh, Sonam has always been someone who builds things. From designing commercial spaces in Dubai to co-founding a gourmet food store from scratch during the pandemic—her career has been defined by one consistent ability: taking a big idea and making it real. Her architectural training shaped how she sees everything. She approaches every challenge structurally, looking for the idea beneath the surface, while simultaneously reading the human experience it needs to serve. The result is a mind that is at once creative and analytical, always finding the reframe, the shift in perspective that changes how a problem feels.
But the most profound thing she ever built wasn’t a space or a business. It was herself. When Sonam first came to Cesta, she came as a student. What followed was a transformation she hadn’t seen coming—one that quietly reordered everything she thought she knew about herself. Emotional intelligence turned out to be the most practical, high-impact skill she had never been taught.
That experience now lives at the heart of her approach. Sonam believes in the power of small, intentional daily habits through which real mindset shifts become possible. Transformation, she’s learned, doesn’t require a single breakthrough. It requires showing up, day after day, until the change becomes you.
