Our Founder

Srijana Timilsina   is the Founder of Inner Peace Foundation Nepal  , a nurse and trained counselor whose work is rooted in lived experience, resilience, and compassion. She served on the frontlines during the 2015 Nepal earthquake and the COVID- 19 pandemic, witnessing immense human suffering while carrying the often-unseen emotional toll of caregiving.  

Amid crisis, loss, and constant responsibility, Srijana experienced deep mental and emotional exhaustion—a reality shared by many healthcare professionals. Her healing began through the power of empathy, active listening, and being truly seen and heard.

Moved by this transformation, she began offering one-to-one counseling, group therapy, Psychological first aid, and empathic safe spaces for healthcare workers, women survivors, students, and community members—turning silence into solidarity and pain into connection.

What began as small healing circles grew into Inner Peace Foundation Nepal, where Srijana now bridges Mental Health and Emotional Wellbeing with Social Justice—training communities in trauma-informed Peacebuilding, advocating for Women's Rights and Climate Resilience, and strengthening Democratic participation through healing-centered civic engagement. Today, her work empowers women and communities to transform pain into purpose—fostering resilience, restoring hope, and cultivating a lasting culture of peace and nonviolence.
