Sharmila Mali is a self-love expert, reiki master teacher, creator and host of The Confident Healer podcast. She has been a lifelong, passionate student of energy healing. Born a natural empath, she finally answered the call to become a healer, and learned to use her empathy (combined with reiki, massage, bio-energetic cranio-sacral therapy, Akashic Record readings, sound healing, and healing techniques transmitted to her by divine guides) to help her clients heal. Women, especially, are drawn to her to help them heal their broken hearts from painful breakups, and to begin their journey into reiki and intuitive healing. It's an honor for her to be entrusted with the sacred act of facilitating healing by getting these women connected to the deepest parts of their souls.

Sharmila co-founded a nonprofit massage school in her beloved native country of Nepal, where people from low-caste backgrounds are taught the arts of massage, reiki and self-healing. She has also served as volunteer treasurer and board member of the Ojai Food Co-op, and volunteers for Ojai Cares offering reiki and oncology massage.
