Dr. Barkha Jasani, Physiotherapist, Founder – Lifetime Physio Care

Dr. Barkha Jasani is a physiotherapist and the founder of Lifetime Physio Care. With a passion for rehabilitation and holistic healing, she has dedicated her career to helping people recover stronger, move better, and lead healthier lives.

Born and raised in Rajkot, Gujarat, Dr. Jasani completed her Bachelor of Physiotherapy from RK University. Ever since childhood, Mumbai had been a dream city for her, and that dream came true when she moved there for her internship at Brahma Kumaris’ Global Hospital & Research Centre, managing BSES M.G. Hospital. Soon after, she joined Qi Spine Clinic, where she discovered her passion for spine rehabilitation. Although she initially planned to pursue a master’s degree, family responsibilities took priority. What began as a job eventually became an eight-year journey of learning, growth, and transforming countless lives. After working independently as a freelance physiotherapist for the last two years, she went on to establish Lifetime Physio Care.

Interestingly, physiotherapy was not her original plan. Her mother and masi always wanted her to pursue healthcare, while her father strongly believed physiotherapy would be the right path. Looking back today, Dr. Jasani considers it one of life’s greatest blessings. What began as a decision guided by family eventually became her purpose.

Her greatest inspirations have been her godfather, mother, and masi, along with the unwavering support of her family and friends. Losing her mother was one of the most difficult chapters of her life, but the love and strength she received from those around her helped her overcome the loss and move forward with resilience.

As a woman, balancing professional aspirations with personal responsibilities has not always been easy. Yet, she believes that patience, perseverance, and self-belief make it possible to navigate even the toughest phases of life.

Beyond physiotherapy, Dr. Jasani enjoys dancing, singing, music, drawing, swimming, travelling, spending time in nature, and experimenting in the kitchen. She believes life should be enjoyed fully and that personal passions help maintain balance and happiness.

Her message to aspiring professionals is simple: give your work your heart, mind, and soul. Stay committed to the process, trust the journey, and focus on showing up consistently. Success, she believes, is built quietly through patience, hard work, and faith in oneself.

For Dr. Barkha Jasani, success is not a destination but a continuous journey of growth. Every challenge has made her stronger, every experience has taught her valuable lessons, and every patient she helps reinforces her purpose. Above all, she believes in staying grounded, enjoying the journey, and never losing faith in oneself.

Dr. Bela Chaudhry is a distinguished homeopathic physician and cosmetologist based in New Delhi, whose career has been built on the belief that true healing extends beyond treating symptoms. With more than four decades of experience, she has dedicated her life to helping people achieve wellness through a holistic and individualized approach to healthcare. Her practice today reaches patients across the world through online consultations and even extends to caring for animals, reflecting her deep compassion for all living beings.

Her journey into medicine was inspired by a personal experience during her early years, when she witnessed the remarkable recovery of a loved one through the right treatment. That experience left a profound impact on her and sparked a lifelong desire to heal. As she explored different branches of medicine, she found herself deeply aligned with homeopathy because of its philosophy of addressing the root cause and treating the individual as a whole rather than merely managing disease.

A gold medalist by academic distinction, Dr. Chaudhry continued to challenge herself throughout life. Demonstrating that learning has no age limit, she completed her MD at the age of 43, a milestone that reflected her unwavering commitment to growth and excellence. Throughout her career, she has served as a visiting consultant to reputed organizations including ONGC, BPCL, HPCL, and Balmer Lawrie, while also building a successful private practice across Mumbai, New Delhi, Jaipur, and Udaipur.

Her expertise has been recognized on national media platforms including Zee TV, Republic TV, and CNBC. Over the years, she has received several honors, including Best Homeopathic Doctor and Lifetime Achievement Awards. Yet, she considers her greatest accomplishment to be the trust of more than 100,000 patients whose lives she has touched through healing and care.

Beyond medicine, Dr. Chaudhry is deeply committed to social service. Through her family-run trust, she supports underprivileged children by providing computer education and skill development opportunities. She also believes healthcare should never be denied because of financial limitations and regularly provides free treatment to patients from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Her greatest inspiration continues to be her patients. Their faith, resilience, and recovery motivate her every day. As a woman, balancing professional responsibilities with family life brought its own challenges, but each experience made her stronger, wiser, and more empathetic.

Outside her profession, she embraces the principles she advocates through meditation, an active lifestyle, and travel, believing that wellness is a way of life rather than a destination.

Her message is simple yet profound: success should never come at the cost of health. Stay committed to learning, remain consistent in your efforts, and let purpose guide every step of your journey.
