MiriPiri – Move & Heal: A Movement-Led Healing Space Founded by Kulbir K Dsouza brings a rare and powerful blend of structure and soul to the mental health and wellness space through her initiative MiriPiri – Move & Heal.
In a world increasingly aware of the deep connection between mental health and the body, MiriPiri – Move & Heal emerges as a compassionate, integrative therapeutic initiative founded by Kulbir K Dsouza, a Mumbai-based professional who bridges the world of corporate banking with the deeply human realm of embodied healing. Trained in Dance Movement Therapy (DMT) from the prestigious Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), Kulbir’s work is rooted in the belief that healing does not belong only inside clinics—it unfolds wherever the body is allowed to speak.
When words fail, movement speaks!!
Kulbir’s journey reflects a quiet resilience and balance reminiscent of Rudyard Kipling’s timeless words from If—:
“If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same—”
Kulbir embodies this philosophy—holding ambition and compassion, discipline and creativity, structure and surrender with equal grace.
Alongside this philosophy, Kulbir is a strong believer in manifestation. She holds that clarity of intention creates alignment between thought, body, and action—making transformation possible. This belief echoes a sentiment from Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist:
“When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”
For Kulbir, manifestation is not passive wishing, but an embodied practice. Through movement, individuals learn to sense, imagine, and physically inhabit the change they seek—turning awareness into action and intention into lived experience.
About MiriPiri – Move & Heal :
MiriPiri – Move & Heal is a Mumbai-based movement therapy practice founded by Kulbir K Dsouza, a certified Dance Movement Therapist trained at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), India. Grounded in evidence-informed and trauma-sensitive principles, MiriPiri integrates Dance Movement Therapy to support emotional wellbeing, psychosomatic awareness, and embodied self-regulation. The practice offers individual therapy, group sessions, workshops, corporate wellness programs, and partnerships with non-profit organizations, providing accessible, body-based mental health support across personal, professional, and community contexts.
Dance Movement Therapy is a psychotherapeutic approach grounded in the idea that the body and mind are inseparable. It uses movement as a pathway for emotional expression, self-awareness, and healing. At MiriPiri, DMT incorporates non-verbal tools such as mirroring, rhythm, gesture, breath, posture, and spatial awareness to create an empathetic environment where participants feel seen, understood, and supported.
“The body carries stories—and through movement, those stories can find release, recognition, and healing,” says Kulbir. “Movement allows us to access what words often cannot.”
Importantly, no prior dance experience is required. DMT is not about performance or technique—it is about meaning, intention, and connection. Participants are invited to listen to their bodies and move at their own pace, honoring their personal rhythms and boundaries.
Kulbir’s approach is deeply shaped by her lived experiences. Having resided across various parts of India—including Jharkhand, West Bengal, Punjab, Chandigarh, Shimla, Gurgaon, and Goa—she brings a culturally sensitive and inclusive lens to her work. These diverse environments have enriched her understanding of human behavior, emotional expression, and the many ways individuals relate to their bodies and emotions.
As a mother, Kulbir understands the invisible emotional labor carried by caregivers and working professionals alike. Her work resonates strongly with individuals juggling multiple roles, helping them reconnect with themselves amidst daily demands.
Through MiriPiri – Move & Heal, movement becomes a language that supports individuals in:
- Safely expressing emotions
- Reconnecting with their bodies and inner sensations
- Accessing embodied memories and releasing emotional blocks
- Building emotional resilience and self-regulation
- Navigating stress, trauma, grief, and anxiety
- Managing psychosomatic concerns
- Strengthening communication and relational awareness
Kulbir has also worked with diverse communities through organizations such as MBA Foundation and Dignity Foundation, supporting individuals with emotional, developmental, and psychosocial needs. These experiences reinforce her belief that healing must be accessible, adaptable, and rooted in compassion.
Based in Mumbai, MiriPiri – Move & Heal offers individual therapy sessions, group sessions, workshops, corporate wellness programs, and NGO collaborations, bringing embodied mental health support into personal, professional, and community spaces.
At its core, MiriPiri is an invitation—to slow down, to listen inward, and to trust the wisdom of the body. It stands as a reminder that healing can be gentle, expressive, and deeply transformative.
MiriPiri – Move & Heal is built on the understanding that the body carries experiences long after the mind has tried to move on. Stress, trauma, grief, and emotional overwhelm often settle into the body, expressing themselves as psychosomatic discomfort, fatigue, anxiety, or disconnection. Through Dance Movement Therapy, MiriPiri offers individuals a safe, non-judgmental space to explore these experiences through movement rather than words alone.
