BioGRAPHY

Born and educated in England, Aruna Shields holds a Distinction from the Guildhall School of Music & Drama and a degree from Central Saint Martins (University of the Arts London). Her foundational work in British theatre and martial arts transitioned into a high-profile international film career, earning critical acclaim for lead roles across major feature films in India, France, and the United Kingdom, alongside invitations for editorial features at Vogue.

Named a Google Zeitgeist Fastest Rising Star, Aruna experienced first-hand the acute pressure, visibility, and relational complexity of global public life before dedicating her focus to clinical psychotherapy and cognitive performance. She translates this artistic rigor and firsthand high-stakes exposure into her advisory practice, offering a depth of psychological comprehension for individuals operating under high visibility, institutional pressure, or public scrutiny.

Grounded in over a decade of private clinical practice, Aruna integrates Psychotherapy, Clinical Hypnosis, Oxford University’s Mindfulness protocols, and Consciousness-Based Psychology. Having led specialised clinical programs at elite Malibu recovery centers, top Los Angeles mindfulness institutions, and pioneered global virtual initiatives for advanced meditators, Aruna provides bespoke clinical containment and strategic guidance for public figures, executive leaders, creative pioneers, and gifted individuals worldwide.
