About Us
The Emotional Wellness Initiatives (TEWI) is an online emotional and psychological wellness platform that provides online therapy sessions, corporate wellbeing webinars and wellness retreats!
TEWI was founded just when Covid was wreaking havoc on the country in 2020, by Clinical Psychologist Prachi S Vaish and corporate slave turned entrepreneur & trader, Udit Bothra.
Prachi grew up in a household of domestic violence and physical abuse; she had to psychologically raise herself through the chaos.
This traumatic history led her to the study of Psychology. Escaping a chaotic home in grade 11, she immersed herself in the subject at a premier boarding school of India in 1997.
She not only rediscovered herself but also became attuned to silent traumas around her. She decided to reach as many people as she could to offer them the healing and vowed to never let another client suffer in silence!
This was the motivating force behind her becoming the first person to attempt online therapy in India all the way back in 2009 for which she was lauded by media all around!
Fast forward to 2019 she met Udit, and instantly sensed an alignment in the way he looked at therapy and emotional wellness! Together they joined forces and TEWI was born!
Since we started, 1000+ of people like you have experienced ‘aha’ moments with us! Together, we have experienced tears, laughter, good news, tough news, heartbreaks, layoffs, achievements, joy as they have become skilled navigators of life.
We have helped them heal and cope, achieve closure, manage trauma and put forth a new step forward, each day.. every day!
Why the Dragonfly?
Dragonflies have flown the Earth for over 300 million years. In many cultures dragonfly symbolizes transformation, change, new beginnings, or fresh starts. Dragonflies undergo a metamorphosis and transformation within themselves, are very adaptable and known for being able to handle changing environments.
