INDIA: NAGALAND

PHULMANI BARO, NAGALAND: Phulmani is a Certified Holistic Health Coach at RachnaRestores, from Kokrajhar, Assam but currently working with farmers in Nagaland. She always had a keen interest towards the concept of holistic and whole systems thinking. She remembers after her Engineering in Biotechnology, a part of her wanted to get into medical research to find a drug cure for cancer. But a reactive solution to the disease was something that didn’t make sense to her. Today, she is relieved and glad to have her wish fulfilled indirectly by crossing paths with Holistic Healing which is a preventive and proactive measure to keep diseases at bay. At the same time, concerned about environment and sustainability, she completed her Masters in Climate Change and Sustainability Studies from TISS. The holistic approach of thinking has been evolving and stayed with her, in all the times when she immersed herself professionally in the field of wildlife conservation, community livelihoods, waste management and now, agriculture. Currently, Phulmani is a Permaculture practitioner and from the past 3 years, she has been growing chemical free food in farms in a whole systems regenerative way. Holistic Healing is another field she developed interest after spending time growing fresh and chemical free vegetables in abundance. In fact, she came to know about Rachna’s amazing work from her clients while she was exploring the farming world. The inspiring stories of healing through food and a healthy lifestyle, draws her to explore this field. She is amazed by the healing power of connection in nourishing soil, growing food and finally relishing it in the plate. Contact details: Email – phulmanibaro@gmail.com ;Phone- +91 98334 70913
