In Sanskrit, Jiva (जीव) means
“living being with life-force”
That’s you. You may have forgotten what it feels like, though it is always with you. Like the rays of the sun or waves of the ocean, your soul is vast, resilient, and powerful. Jiva Wellness is here to help you reconnect with your life-force energy—one breath at a time.
At Jiva Wellness, this philosophy becomes a therapeutic home for adults seeking deeper healing — emotionally, culturally, relationally, and somatically.
Jiva Wellness is a Virginia-based private therapy practice founded by Chandni Bhatia, LPC, NCC, SEP. The practice specializes in integrative, trauma-informed therapy for adults experiencing anxiety, burnout, sleep disruption, attachment wounds, and intergenerational trauma. Jiva Wellness serves clients virtually across Virginia, with limited in-person availability, and is especially focused on supporting BIPOC, South Asian, Asian, Middle Eastern, and first- and second-generation adults seeking culturally responsive, mind-body healing.
My approach combines neuroscience-backed therapy with ancestral wisdom to help you break generational cycles and shift into a life of meaning and sentience. This integration allows for a comprehensive healing experience:
Somatic Experiencing (SE): Focuses on releasing trauma stored in the body, facilitating emotional and physical healing.
Internal Family Systems (IFS): Engages with your inner world, addressing and harmonizing various parts of your psyche to foster a sense of wholeness.
Mindfulness, Nutrition, & Sleep: Emphasizes holistic support for mental wellness, recognizing the interplay between what you consume and your emotional and mental health.
Systemic Family Constellations — A powerful experiential approach that helps you uncover hidden family and ancestral dynamics shaping your present-day patterns. This work views family as an emotional system
By integrating these practices, individuals can embark on a transformative journey towards a more fulfilling life.
