About Me

Shivangi Maniar

Hello!

I am Shivangi Maniar

I’m an Emotions Coach for children, teens, and parents. I also work with couples, helping them navigate emotional blocks and rebuild connection. I’m also the founder of OTLO and a mother of two.

After becoming a mom, I stepped away from the long hours of corporate life. My love for children and public speaking led me to explore storytelling as a hobby. Over time, I realised what truly lit me up—creating safe, meaningful conversations that help people heal and grow.

I trained as a teacher with the Sriram Foundation, earned my Master’s in Psychology, and became a certified Expressive Movement Therapist. 

Today, I’m on a mission to unlock human potential—one healing conversation at a time

Books & Publications

With lots of warmth, I present to you my book — Parenting Pickles & Popsicles.

This is not a book I offer. It is pure solace…
Even if you are not there yet, you will get there eventually!

Newsletter

Welcome to OTLO

A family-centric platform that’s recreating lines of communication between children, teens and parents so that families become a cohesive unit.

The Courtyard of Happiness

OTLO is whatever you want it to be — a place to indulge in conversations, an abode for introspection, an unbiased stress-free space and a safe place that gives you a sense of warmth, joy and belonging the moment you step in. My vision is to share the feeling of health, happiness and healing through OTLO, a feeling similar to the otlo (veranda) of our grandmother’s house, where we can share stories and joy with our family.

OTLO is my attempt to recreate these familial bonds while offering a natural nurturing of mind and body. By offering a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on, OTLO aims to bring back conversations to feed the mind, body and soul. After all, the power of community, of conversation, of pure, unadulterated idle chit-chat is strangely healing. It allows us to vent without imploding; share without trolling; laugh without LOLs and emote without icons. They allow us to be real, living, breathing human beings and not cyber puppets in a virtual world.

I truly believe that happy people make a happy world, and I hope that OTLO will give you a dependable companion in your pursuit of happiness and health.
