Hi, I am Francesca from Italy, and I just spent a month in Kathmandu, Nepal as a volunteer with my role as spiritual healer and hypnotherapist. Today is my final day here and I am going back to Italy with lots of love and memorable moments.

So how does it feel to travel to a different continent as a spiritual healer and hypnotherapist? Today I would like to share with you some of my experiences.

My Experience as a Counseling Volunteer for Underprivileged Children

This is definitely an experience that I want to repeat in the next year or so. I am very grateful for the opportunity to work as a holistic counselor and hypnotherapist with the school for underprivileged kids. I worked with their parents in counseling, hypnotherapy, and energy work, as I am also a yoga therapist.

In addition to my stay in Kathmandu, I had the opportunity to fully immerse myself in the local culture and traditions. This experience allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of the people and their way of life. I was able to interact with the vibrant community and witness their resilience, which has left an indelible mark on my heart. As I say goodbye to this beautiful city, I am filled with a profound sense of gratitude for the life-changing experiences and meaningful connections that I have made.

How I Helped as Counselor and Healer in a Rehabilitation Center

In the afternoons, I worked in a rehab counseling center, and even there, the experience was amazing. The amount of love, openness, and willingness to change their lives inspired me to a degree that I didn't think was possible.

While working at the counseling center, I had the opportunity to witness incredible transformations in the lives of those seeking help. Through both individual and group sessions, I was able to see firsthand the power of empathy, compassion, and therapeutic techniques in aiding their healing journeys.

All the people here come from extremely difficult financial backgrounds, and some of the people I treated had a history of drug addiction, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder due to COVID, earthquake, and other challenging situations. It was really inspiring to see all these people coming out of such difficult circumstances and being willing to smile, meditate, do counseling, and work towards a better future.

The Message I Would Like to Share

This experience is yet another proof that if you want to change your life and you are determined to do so, it doesn't matter what your background is. Whether you had a bad family, a history of drug addiction, or any other challenges, you can change your life. These people should serve as an inspiration to us in the western world, not to cry or feel pity for ourselves, but to face difficulties head-on and move forward.

Thank you very much. This experience has made me stronger, even more determined and focused to improve everybody's life, including mine, through counseling, hypnotherapy, and spirituality.

Namaste!
