About Dr. Shivani Khetan
The Human Within
I have always been curious about people.
What shapes the way we see the world?
What do we carry from one experience into another?
What happens when we question what we believe?
Over the years, this curiosity has taken me through many forms of learning, exploration and expression. I have worked with people individually and in groups, and have explored the human experience through conversation, reflection, creative expression, music, sound, movement, storytelling and experiential learning.
Today, I bring these experiences together to create spaces where people can pause, explore, express and discover.
Our work is also creating spaces around grief, life transitions and the stories people carry quietly. Through the Human Library, we explore another simple idea: every person is a living story, and sometimes all we need is the time and space to listen.
- Sometimes the doorway is a conversation.
- Sometimes it is colour.
- Sometimes music or sound.
- Sometimes movement.
- Sometimes a story.
- And sometimes, simply being present with another person.
My work is not built around one fixed formula. I am interested in what happens when we become curious about our own experience — what we believe, how we see a situation, what we carry, and what might become possible when we look at it differently.
This exploration led to the development of Life Regulation & Repatterning (LRR®), a body of work that brings together my understanding of patterns, inner experience and the possibility of change.
Alongside this work, I founded Mudita Collective Foundation, an NGO that takes this exploration into community. Through Mudita Offline Circle and other initiatives, we create spaces for seniors and communities to connect through music, singing, art, mandalas, movement, stories, games, conversation and shared experiences.
My work continues to evolve.
The forms may change.
The people may change.
The experiences may change.
But the curiosity remains:
What if we questioned what we believe?

My Journey
My Approach
My work is integrative, experiential, and grounded in both research and real-world application. I combine expressive practices, reflective methodologies, and neuroplasticity-informed techniques to create structured yet practical pathways for emotional resilience and behavioural insight.
I work in a non-diagnostic, ethical framework—often alongside medical and psychological care—focusing on helping individuals build awareness, regulate responses, and develop clarity in how they think, feel, and act.
My Impact
My work has supported individuals across diverse settings—from hospitals and educational institutions to leadership and personal development spaces. Whether through one-on-one sessions, group programs, or academic frameworks, my focus remains on enabling meaningful, lasting change.
As a TEDx speaker and international presenter, I bring together science, expression, and lived experience to help individuals not just cope, but evolve into more aware, resilient, and empowered versions of themselves.
Areas of Work
My work spans multiple environments where emotional awareness and behavioural clarity are essential for wellbeing and performance. Key areas I work in include:
Emotional Regulation & Behavioural Awareness
Engaging with emotional and behavioural patterns, including responses, triggers, and internal processes.
Expressive Practices & Reflective Work
Using expression, movement, and reflective processes to engage deeper layers of awareness.
Healthcare & Patient Support (Adjunct Care)
Working within care environments to engage emotional and behavioural patterns in clinical contexts.
Leadership & Human Potential Development
Engaging with awareness, response patterns, and decision-making in professional and interpersonal contexts.
Academic & Learning Environments
Applying structured frameworks within educational settings to engage attention, awareness, and learning processes.
Workshops, Training & Speaking
Delivering experiential formats across institutional and group settings focused on behavioural and emotional processes.
