Professional services for adults looking to make sense of their Internal and External experiences while navigating life with Presence, Care and Balance.
Inspiration
Duara translates to "circle" or "round" in Swahili.
As a symbol, it represents wholeness, unity or eternity and invites us to reflect on our interconnectedness with each other and nature across time.
It's a gentle yet powerful reminder of the circular nature of life and the cycles and oneness of all things in the uni-verse.
About me
My name is Mwangi Nderitu and I'm the founder of Duara Wellness. I'm a licensed psychotherapist, trainer and facilitator based in Nairobi, Kenya with over 6 years experience.
I offer an open and supportive environment where you can explore your inner world (thoughts, emotions, values, beliefs...) along with your choices, actions, relationships and experiences to see how they shape what you call "life".
Clients and colleagues usually describe me as approachable, understanding, creative and practical.
My core values are integrity, empathy, flexibility and respect.
I enjoy music, games, movies, reading, learning new things and spending quality time with quality people.
