'expand' ARTIST & facilitator

Shivani Patel

EXPAND Luminary and Facilitator

Shivani is a founding member of Expand Now. She is studying Humanitarian and Development Studies, with the hopes of working abroad in disadvantaged communities. After struggling with her own mental health, she underwent a journey of self-discovery and self-development. This path sparked a passion for self-development and inspired her to help others to undertake their own journeys. 


This also led her to create a blog called upfromthewell.com and a business called FlourishPrintablesCo which aims to help those struggling with depression.

Shivani loves yoga, meditation, and journaling. She aims to use these tools to continue to explore and develop the deepest parts of herself. 


She was inspired to be a part of Expand Now, as she is passionate about helping others reach their full potential and become the highest versions of themselves. She envisions a world where everyone has equal access and opportunity to improve their well-being in all its forms. She and the team believe this will be achieved through Expand Now.

If we all started radiating our light, all our dreams would come true. We all have the same dream.
