About Nishani Jayawardena

Healing. Transforming. Elevating.I’ve always been a force of nature—bold, outspoken, and deeply attuned to the human experience. But my journey wasn’t always clear. Growing up in a scarcity-mindset household in a third-world country, I was surrounded by voices telling me who to be, how to act, and what to believe. It wasn’t until I embarked on my own self-discovery and integration process that I realized: The power I was searching for was within me all along.As a therapist, entrepreneur, and speaker, I’ve made it my mission to disrupt the way healthcare is perceived and experienced. I founded Attunigrate, not just as a business, but as a philosophy and movement—one that helps people attune to their inner wisdom, integrate their insights into real life, and elevate into their highest selves.What I Do: I help therapists, healthcare professionals, and business leaders reconnect with themselves so they can show up fully for others. Through coaching, consulting, and speaking engagements, I teach people how to break free from outdated systems and step into a more expansive, thriving version of themselves. I create content that sparks transformation, from the Attunigrate podcast & YouTube series to keynote talks that challenge the status quo.I believe humans already have the answers they need—they just need the right guidance, space, and support to unlock them. That’s what I’m here to do.Let’s Connect If You Are: A therapist, coach, or healthcare professional looking to expand beyond traditional models A business leader seeking new ways to integrate well-being into your leadership & culture An investor or changemaker interested in reshaping how mental health services are delivered A speaker, podcast host, or media outlet looking for bold, real conversations on healing & transformation Let’s talk.
