BioGRAPHY
Aruna Shields is a Clinical Hypno-Psychotherapist and Meditation Expert with a background as an international lead actress.
Born and educated in England, she earned a Distinction from the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, and graduated from Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London. Her dance and martial arts expertise opened doors in the film industry and she went on to achieve international acclaim for lead roles in major feature films, becoming a Google Zeitgeist (fastest rising star in India). Aruna brings deep artistic discipline and real-world, high-performance experience to her clinical practice.
Grounded in over ten years of private practice, Aruna integrates Hypno-Psychotherapy, Oxford University’s Mindfulness protocols and creative therapeutic techniques. Having facilitated programs at elite Malibu recovery centers and top Los Angeles meditation studios, she specializes in supporting public figures, high performers, creatives and explorers of consciousness.
Beyond her clinical practice, Aruna brings a playful and grounded spiritual perspective to transformational work. Her YouTube content featuring her pet snakes and cats are creative tools to dissolve fear, open minds, and share accessible life wisdom. Aruna strongly believes that deep psychological transformation does not have to feel heavy—and that humor, effortless meditation and creative freedom are potent remedies for uplifting the soul.
