About Manisha Mahaldar

In a world focused on physical health, we often overlook our emotional and mental well-being. Here, we’re changing that narrative.

I am Manisha Mahaldar, Founder of ONEAKE, a passionate Dance Movement Therapy Practitioner and Creative Movement Artist based in Pune. ONEAKE is a holistic well-being initiative that uses movement, creativity, and mindful practices to help individuals build emotional resilience, foster self-awareness, and reconnect with themselves in meaningful ways.

With a lifelong dedication to the performing arts, my journey started young with a love for dance and drama. Performing in theatricals and musicals, and spending time in nature, led me to realize this is where I belong.

Through Dance Movement Therapy, I help people connect with their inner selves, heal emotional struggles, and find strength in movement. Through ONEAKE, my vision is to create meaningful spaces where individuals can explore self-expression, emotional resilience, and holistic well-being. Our bodies and minds are deeply intertwined, and by moving our bodies, we can unlock new levels of emotional well-being.

I am an explorer and a constant learner who thrives on constantly learning and growing every single day, because for me, the beauty lies not just in reaching destinations, but in the intricate patterns of the journeys themselves.
