About me


Amanpreet Wadhwa at Golden Leaf Therapy

Hello, my name is Amanpreet Wadhwa. I am a Registered Counsellor and Master Reiki Practitioner based out of Calgary, Alberta. I am deeply committed to supporting individuals on their journeys to healing and self-discovery. My professional career began in computer science, where I worked for over 20 years.

While balancing a demanding career and raising two children with my supportive husband, I encountered significant challenges that impacted my health and well-being. Life looked perfect on paper, but I felt burnt out, inadequate, and disconnected. Juggling the roles of a full-time professional and parent took a toll, leaving me feeling depleted and as though I was merely “getting by.” It was through embarking on my own therapeutic journey—supported by a counsellor and a network of caring individuals—that I began to heal and rediscover myself.

This transformative experience ignited a passion within me for the counselling profession. It awakened a nurturing part of me that had always been there but had been overshadowed by life’s demands. This journey of personal healing gave me purpose and a renewed zest for life, inspiring me to guide others toward finding their own vitality and balance.

Having grown up in an Eastern cultural background, I have long been drawn to holistic and alternative practices for well-being. Over the past 25 years, I have practiced yoga, and for the last seven years, I have embraced meditation as part of my daily life. When I discovered Reiki, it felt like a natural extension of the balance and calm I had been cultivating. Reiki brought me a sense of inner peace and wholeness that became my anchor.

This profound experience led me to become a certified Master Reiki Practitioner. My journey has taught me the value of combining diverse healing modalities. Integrating counselling with Reiki allows me to provide a comprehensive approach to wellness, addressing the mind, body, and spirit.

I am deeply grateful for the lessons I’ve learned from my teachers, clients, and the world around me. I believe healing is a collaborative process, and I am here to walk alongside you as you navigate life’s challenges.

As a mother, wife, daughter, sister, computer scientist, and counsellor, I bring a rich and diverse perspective to my work. Fluent in English, Punjabi, and Hindi, I offer my services in these languages to make counselling and Reiki accessible to a wider community.
