At a time of increasing technological innovation, the glowing founder of wellness franchise, The 111 Approach, Lakhmi, brings mindfulness and inner regeneration complementarily to the fore. Society has fundamentally benefitted from incredible industrial advancement over time, but what of the equally significant equanimity of people alongside? Lakhmi commented here: “Nowadays, we rely so much on external validation, but the truth is that nothing compares to the personal empowerment that can only come from within.” To this end, she adeptly combines the remedial worlds of Wellness Coaching and Intuitive Energy Healing, both of which she has professionally trained in, to inspiringly create her brand of Bespoke Holistic Healing.

This entails the hands-on practice of Reiki in sync with various everyday motivational tools for the betterment of fitness, sleep, nutrition and stress and time-management, which can be easily incorporated into the individual’s busy routine. “That accessibility as well as the tailoring of my programs across different clients for respective needs is very important,” she shared with us. Indeed, when Lakhmi, who is already a licensed Reiki Master, consequently trained in wellness, she noticed that very few places offered the bitesize but effective learning that she required: “the courses available were often time-consuming and intense. However, I wanted to make being able to change one’s life pragmatic and entirely possible.” One can feel this ethos at a glance: Lakhmi’s 111 Approach offers realistic, brief yoga and meditation exercises, a chance to habitually journal, immediately actionable advice on relationships and much, much more. This cumulatively but compassionately instils the model of mental and physical health. There is also an upcoming accompanying app which will be available digitally, designed to further assist through the range of wholesome practice.
However, the spiritual dimension interconnected to Lakhmi’s enterprise is key. “That aspect is what sparked my curiosity in the sector. I had, earlier in my journey, been gifted a practising healer and was amazed at the experience. It is astonishing to think that everything in the universe is tangibly made up of energy and atoms and that we too can tap into these frequencies: that is what energy healing does and so forms the core of my business.” Lakhmi then radically roots the practical aspect of enhanced productivity and physicality in an essential sense of wellbeing, connecting one to a profound state of progress which is altogether more real. “If you give yourself smaller tasks and goals consistently, your brain is almost tricked into inhabiting a higher functional space. The Reiki works centrally while the wellness coaching reinforces it. Clients may be slow to start off but then reach this wonderful point of exponential shift. I can start with any chosen area of life and build underlying wellness from there.” In this way, Lakhmi gently returns autonomy to the person wherein they can experience their own inherent power from which an overall mighty motivation organically flows.
The 111 Approach meaningfully removes the distractive middleman of materialism to rightly make the sole master of your life you! This is not to say that wealth, status or reputation are forfeited but rather rearranged so that they principally serve you. The outer system is simply aligned with that of an evolved emotional one to allow the dynamic distribution of energy to harmoniously pulse. There is encouraged a strong, deeply natural inner conviction that affects the transcendent beneficial change within the world surrounding. Lakhmi stated: “Science and spirituality are one and the same. What the former calls fight or flight, the latter dubs your third eye or sixth sense.” Interestingly, she had prior pursued an empirical career in the medical field, having studied biology, before realising that the component of true, or multidimensional, fulfilment had been missing: “once you understand that spirituality is interwoven into the very fabric of existence, you wonder why they are not teaching this in society and schools! I myself was a massive sceptic, focussed on the highly visible and logical. However, the universe is expansive and so also must be our understanding. Through modalities such as Reiki, one can positively manipulate it, removing what is dense and heavy and rebooting oneself. If you can just sit with yourself and minimise the prescribed chatter that is a start.”
By restoring the relationship to pure individuality, an otherwise stressful and chaotic landscape is transformed into vitality, opportunities and joy. You are literally freed to live an elevated alternative and hopefully channel that optimism around too. Not only does Lakhmi encourage completeness of the self but at once the total cosmic order that ultimately runs through.
What have been some memorable success stories?
I’ve had quite a few! I have been lucky to have high-profile clients and generally people from all walks of life. I have helped both men and women. A particularly poignant breakthrough was with a client who had an eating disorder which was agitated by lockdown. She found it very difficult to eat in the presence of other people. As we completed her coaching program, she finally came to a moment where she was able to nonchalantly book a table and meet her friend to catch-up over a relaxed meal. That small but significant gesture represented the wider comfort she felt with herself. It was emotional.
What would you say drives you in your work?
Just being able to help people realise their own power in a collaborative healing way: that’s it. When people can really feel that they are sitting on gold, that they are their own love and power, it is such a beautiful achievement. Many of us are just existing not living. It is possible to thrive with the smallest change. I would never want to be egotistical about what I do. I work with others to help them unlock their own healing. I am just tapping into my ability to be able to help inhabit this.
Do you have comment on emotionality?
I think it is brave, socially intelligent and a sign of great strength. It is less admirable to repress and dismiss. This is why I’m so passionate about showing people that they can be happy with simply themselves!
Do you offer online sessions?
Yes, I do distant healing as well as in-person sessions. In fact, that can be an incredible demonstration of the far-reaching power of energy healing. If you are in your own home, you may feel more relaxed and that is important. Your centre of energy is open and you can dive deeper. I have obviously had a few of these sessions over lockdown where one of my clients was based in New Zealand. You can add candles and calming music to the mix and the enhanced energy lingers.
Finally, how would you summarise a typical session?
It is like a massage with your clothes on: a psychic or spiritual one if you will. It will holistically relax the muscles while creating a shift within. You will feel the effect immediately: emotional and mental clarity increases as well as alleviation of physical symptoms.
