At 21, a spontaneous kundalini awakening dissolved the sense of a separate self, revealing that the struggle sustaining human suffering is constructed rather than inherent. What appeared as identity, control, and personal history was revealed not as fixed reality, but as conditioned patterning – neurological, psychological, and perceptual processes that recursively generate and reinforce the illusion of a “self.” Over the past two decades, Maitreya has worked with thousands globally, addressing anxiety, depression, addiction, attachment and relational patterns at their root – where perception, conditioning, and nervous system responses intersect and reinforce one another. Her work focuses on identifying the mechanisms through which suffering is maintained, and interrupting them with precision.   Her approach integrates kinesiology and advanced psychological study with non-dual insight, bridging the physiology of the body, the structure of the mind, and the direct recognition of awareness into a single operational framework. This integration moves insight beyond concept into application, translating awareness into measurable shifts in behavior, emotional regulation, and cognitive clarity. She is the founder of the Uncommon Wisdom Coaching Institute, where practitioners are trained to move beyond symptom management into exact pattern recognition and intervention at the level where experience itself is generated.   Her work is grounded in self-realization and the uncompromising recognition of truth – not as belief or philosophy, but as the underlying and irreducible condition of existence, prior to and untouched by thought, emotion, or identity. In this, relative experience is understood without being mistaken for what is ultimately real. Her core teachings, Instant Liberation and Triggered into Truth, collapse the illusion of time within awakening, pointing directly to what is already free rather than deferring it into the future. She does not offer a path to become something else – only a clear recognition of what is already here.

Dr. Anila Damodhar is a medical doctor, certified Law of Attraction Trainer, Trainer of Trainers and certified Life Coach. After a fulfilling 20-year career as an ophthalmologist, she made a courageous pivot - one that began not in a classroom, but in a quiet moment at home with her newborn son.   It was during a break from her medical career that a simple practice of gratitude opened the door to extraordinary experiences across every sphere of her life. A breakthrough insight into her own life's patterns followed, and then came the knowledge of the Law of Attraction. That chance encounter, nearly 23 years ago, changed everything.   Over the next 13+ years, Dr. Anila immersed herself in the science and practice of LOA - conducting workshops, trainings, and webinars both offline and online. Her real breakthrough came when she condensed everything she had learned into five powerful daily practices, creating The eHAP Method™ - a trademarked morning methodology that transforms the Law of Attraction from theoretical knowledge into lived experience.   Through her signature programme, now called the 40-Day Intensive, she has conducted 1,700+ consecutive live sessions - witnessing what she describes as massive miracles in people's lives across all ages and walks of life. It was these transformations that led her to halt her medical career and dedicate herself fully to this work.   Her insights have been featured in Brilliant Reads magazine. She remains one of the few medical doctors in the world bringing clinical credibility to the Law of Attraction coaching space.   She is the founder of Life Design Academy and her mission is to help people stop living by default and start living by design.

Amanda M. Crisel is a PharmD, Certified Wellness Practitioner, and perimenopause educator dedicated to addressing the gap between women and the evidence-based care they need to optimize health and wellbeing during and beyond perimenopause. With a doctorate in pharmacy from Purdue University, a clinical practice residency at Johns Hopkins, and nearly two decades in biopharmaceuticals, she's focused on the imbalance between what the research says and the care women can actually access. Her work is informed by clinical training, a focus on holistic health, and her own experience navigating Premature Ovarian Insufficiency at age 39; a combination that allows her to meet women where they are and provide the science-backed support they need.   Amanda founded Amanda Michelle Wellness in 2022 and created PeriNavigatHer™, an evidence-based perimenopause resource platform in beta testing, designed to help women prepare for and navigate conversations with their healthcare providers. Her programs and resources span clinical education, lifestyle and holistic wellness, and care navigation and are grounded in peer-reviewed research and the guidelines of leading institutions, including The Menopause Society, ACOG, and the Endocrine Society.   She co-created the PeriMenopause Small Group Medical Program, a small-group clinical model designed to make personalized perimenopause care more accessible and affordable.   Amanda believes that no woman should have to navigate perimenopause alone, all women should have access to quality care, and that the right support will improve the health trajectory and well-being of women with a ripple effect on clinical, social, and economic outcomes for generations to come.
