About Me

I am Professor Cheelu Chandran. I am a Self-Love Coach, Therapist, Healer, keto cook and the creator of the concept and philosophy called DeBox.

I have received international certifications towards various training modalities and I have conducted training programs for hospitals and social causes before I launched the DeBox philosophy of self-love.

SELF-LOVE COACHING: Amidst the multiple roles we play in our lives every day, we have lost touch with ourselves. Through workshops and one on one sessions, I attempt to reconnect you with yourself because true love and change begin from within ourselves towards ourselves.

“We cannot teach what we do not know ourselves”

I have a degree in Journalism, Psychology and Literature and a P.G Diploma in Psychotherapy and Counselling and have been doing this for more than 15 years now. I have also presented papers at the World Congress of Alternative Medicine where I received the title of Professor for my contribution towards holistic wellness.

THERAPY: Purely one on one sessions to get you to constantly be a better version of yourself. I attempt to realign you with your core and keep you centered with yourself because abundance is not what you attract, it is who you are; and because happiness is your birthright.

“The only person you can change is yourself because when you change, the world around you will change too”

HEALING: One-on-one sessions and workshops on healing with Tibetan singing bowls and various other techniques to bring about an understanding between resonance-sound-wellbeing Vs dissonance-noise-disease. To align the body, mind and emotions to unleash the body’s powerful self-healing potential and promote optimal health.

KETO NUTRITION: Talks to bring about awareness of what constitutes healthy eating. I am ready to share my personal life challenges and my journey into wellness. Tasting sessions, original recipes and customized food plans.

“True wellness can only be effective if there is harmony with our mind, body and emotions (soul)”.

MORE ABOUT ME: I have acted on stage and screen. I have performed a variety of dances on stage. I have taught flamenco and have choreographed as part of two shows. I have sung in jazz bands and for flamenco shows. I am a writer and three of my short stories have been published as part of three winning anthologies. I have discovered a new way of cooking that has health and taste all rolled into one. I am a motivational speaker and poet. I am regular speaker at the HELP Library. I love telling stories. I was a panel speaker on Women Entrepreneurs at the WAVE exhibition conducted by the BNP Paribas. I was also on the panel of speakers on the topic of spirituality conducted by IWLF (International Woman Leaders Forum). I have spoken on the panel of 50young platform and was facilitated as a mentor.

Life has given me a rich array of challenges spanning over 20 years which has made me the person that I am today. I would love to share my life journey if only to inspire someone on to a better and more hope filled life. Please feel free to contact me.

Testimonials

"Cheelu is a high calibre professional, capable of fulfilling challenging tasks. Her eye for details ensures that any responsibility undertaken by her is completed on time, and on expected quality parameters. Her initiative and creative skills are exemplary. I have known her for over a decade and she will be an asset on any work undertaken by her" – Sundar

"Warning: Cheelu doesn’t have a couch or a notepad. Nor is a session with her a series of questions and answers. She doesn’t quote Freud, Jung, or any other psychologist a dozen times. It’s best to leave stereotypes outside her door.

Cheelu is different. Just so, her approach towards therapy and each client is different, unique and distinctive like herself. She is effervescent, insightful and perceptive. Gently and subtly she guides and helps you to discover and love yourself; a session with her is nothing but a string of life changing epiphanies." – Sneha. Writer

"As a psychotherapist and as a part of my course requirement, I did my 100 hours training under Cheelu as a client. My experience was amazing. She taught me self-love. I have also worked under her supervision.

She inspires, she motivates and she transforms. Her workshops and counseling sessions are real eye-openers.

Thanks, Cheelu for being there! I would gladly recommend her to people who want a change in life and a shift in their awareness" – Reeta. Psychotherapist and Healer.

"I've known Cheelu as a dance teacher, a counselor and have attended one of her workshops. The common thread for me when it comes to learning from her is how it goes deeper than the obvious lessons.

She has a holistic approach to teaching, letting her intuition guide her into weaving in various branches of knowledge she has acquired over the years, be it psychology, art, exercise, meditation or sound therapy in the form of singing bowls.

As a counselor, she questions and draws insights out of you more than telling you what issues she thinks you have.

She is also the giver of tough homework that will get you to dig your head out of the sand and face what you need to face.

Warm and kind even when dishing out tough love, she is approachable and non-judgmental." – Sucheta. I.T Professional
