Our Directors
Hemanti Mangal
Hemanti Mangal is a child psychologist and an art-based therapy practitioner. Mental health is her passion, and she believes in simple yet creative ways to bring about positive emotional, social, and cognitive changes in children and their families. As founder and director of the organization, she plays various roles. Sometimes you can see her as a therapist working with a child, other times, she is a trainer or a friend who listens, sometimes a counselor but always a nurturing mother. She has been working exclusively in special needs and family counseling for over 10 years and has previously worked with Children First and Udayan Care. After a Bachelor in Psychology (Hons) from Delhi University, she pursued a Masters in Counseling Psychology from Amity University. She streamlined her focus to working extensively with children with her Post Graduation Diploma in Child Guidance and Counseling from NIPCCD and further specialized in Arts-Based therapy from WLCC. Hemanti has an “ instant connection” with any child who walks in. She is spontaneous, playful, intuitive, and compassionate when working with children. Her love and passion for working with children were the driving force for her to imagine, develop, and establish a nurturing space that is the Healing Nest Foundation.
Sagar Mangal
Sagar is a Sailor by profession but a child at heart. His spontaneity in connecting with children (including his own) helped him develop an interest in child development. He is the director of the Healing Nest Foundation. Sagar was inspired by Hemanti's love for the field of child development and mental health, due to which he, along with his wife, envisioned an organization like Healing Nest Foundation.
Sagar believes in the importance of spreading mental health awareness to even the smaller towns of the country and hopes that one-day Healing Nest Foundation will be reachable and approachable to everybody. He feels there is no end to learning and growing and to following one's dream.
