What Our Clients Say
I've been having acupuncture for almost 20 years across different countries and therapists. This was easily the most professional and all-encompassing experience I've ever had. Thank you Anish for not just treating what I asked for with elbow issues, but giving me so much more for my whole body, organs, energy and general health and wellness. For anyone considering, feel completely at ease and secure with his service — he came to my hotel and spent over 2hrs healing me. He's also more than happy to explain how it all works if you're interested to know. Andrew Scevak, Australia.
Anish was very helpful & gave a quick relief from pain in one session only. It was very commendable. That demonstrates his command & in-depth knowledge of the subject. Thank you & best wishes.
My mother (Nila Dalia) age 76 years, was diagnosed with sciatica in October 2023. Pain radiated down her right leg, making it difficult for her to sit, walk and do normal chores. Through Google, we were fortunate to find Anish Petkar, who specialised in acupuncture and moxibustion. In the very first call, he made mummy very comfortable and we were certain he would help her heal. His treatment, yoga, exercises, patience, empathetic nature all helped her heal in just 6 sessions. Most importantly he believes in holistic healing which comprised of correct food intake, medicines if required, treatment, exercises and yoga. Now my mother is completely pain-free and is able to do all her chores with ease. Anish has strongly emphasised on her need to continue exercising in order to sustain her recovery. We are very thankful to him and would recommend him very strongly for any kind of ailments.
Hello, my name is Rajnikant Bhanushali, 58 years old. I had knee pain (cartilage degeneration and bow leg) and the doctor recommended surgery. However, I wanted to try acupuncture before the operation. Session after session, I discussed with Anish how my shoulder and lower back were also not functioning properly. He worked on all areas as he believes in holistic approaches. His treatment helped, and I felt refreshed in all my activities. Today, after 33 sessions, I can say that my knee problems are 65% to 70% resolved. He gave me yoga exercises that I incorporate into my daily routine. Thank you, Anish, for showing me the right path.
My mother received remarkable relief from pain on account of Trigeminal neuralgia. Acupuncture is genuinely very effective. Both my parents have received amazing results from Dr Anish's treatment. Most importantly he is such a wonderful human being and puts in more than 100% towards any treatment that he takes up. Strongly recommend him 👌
My experience of this institution is stupendous. I am not only mobile now but feeling much better from the core as the treatment is not only on the paining centre of the body but holistically for entire physical management. My frozen neck and shoulder have been much released — now I can complete my day-to-day tasks with much ease. Thanks Dr. Anish for the entire treatment and counselling together.
Fantastic human being, serving the people around, bundle of healing powers. Relieved my 74-year-old mother of her 55-year-old pains and made her lose all the heaviness she was carrying for so many years. My mother is showering blessings on him. Keep the good work going Anish, thank you and god bless you.

Our Story
Where ancient healing meets modern understanding — at the heart of Mumbai & Thane.
Meet Our Founder
Wellness Practitioner · Acupuncturist · Reiki Master · Meditation Guide
With a deep passion for traditional healing and a profound belief in the body’s innate capacity to heal, Anish founded Lotus & Freshwing Wellness Center with one clear vision — to bring authentic, personalized, and transformative wellness care to the people of Mumbai and Thane.
Trained in Acupuncture, Reiki, and Meditation, Anish combines the wisdom of ancient therapeutic systems with a genuinely compassionate, patient-first approach. Every individual who walks through the center’s doors receives a care plan designed specifically for them.
The center’s growing community of happy clients — many of whom have found relief from chronic pain, stress, and hormonal imbalances — is a testament to Anish’s dedication to root-cause healing and lasting wellness.
Our Practice
Our clinic is designed to be a peaceful sanctuary. From the moment you arrive, our goal is to make you feel heard, cared for, and at ease.
We offer in-person consultations at both our Mumbai and Thane locations, and online classes for those who prefer to begin their healing journey from home.
Our Community
Our group meditation sessions bring together people from all walks of life. Held at venues across Mumbai — including Dadar’s Vanmali Hall — these sessions are a warm, welcoming space where healing happens collectively.
Whether you are a first-timer or a seasoned practitioner, every participant leaves feeling lighter, calmer, and more connected.
Our Mission
At Lotus & Freshwing, we combine traditional healing practices with the warmth of personalized care. Pain management, stress relief, and women’s health are areas we treat with special expertise.
Our mission: empower you to achieve lasting health by addressing root causes — so healing becomes a way of life.
How We Work
Our Offerings
Three ancient modalities. One intention — your lasting wellbeing.
Therapy One
Rooted in thousands of years of Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture stimulates specific meridian points to restore the natural flow of Qi. It relieves pain, reduces inflammation, and promotes the body’s own healing response — without medication or side effects.
Therapy Two
Reiki is a Japanese energy healing technique that channels universal life force energy to promote balance at every level — physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. In-person in Mumbai & Thane, and online for students worldwide.
Therapy Three
Our guided meditation programs calm the nervous system, reduce chronic stress, improve sleep, and create mental clarity. We adapt each practice to your unique needs.

Before You Visit
Everything you need to know before, during, and after your first session — so you arrive with confidence and leave feeling transformed.
Your First Visit
Every journey at Lotus & Freshwing begins with an in-depth, no-rush consultation. We want to understand your complete health picture before recommending any therapy. There is no pressure — only compassionate listening and honest guidance.
Whether you are coming for pain relief, stress management, energy healing, or inner calm, here is exactly what happens from the moment you contact us.
Frequently Asked Questions
Select a therapy below to read specific FAQs.
Most patients feel little to no pain. The needles are extremely thin — far finer than an injection needle. You may feel a slight tingling, warmth, or mild dull ache — called “De Qi” — which is a sign the therapy is working. Most people find the experience deeply relaxing.
Acute issues (recent injuries, short-term pain) may respond in 3–6 sessions. Chronic conditions (long-standing joint pain, hormonal imbalances) typically require 8–12 sessions for lasting results. After your consultation we will give you a clear, realistic treatment plan.
At Lotus & Freshwing we specialise in:
Yes. We use only single-use, sterile, disposable needles that are discarded after each session. There is zero risk of cross-contamination. Minor bruising or slight soreness may occasionally occur and resolves quickly.
Before: Eat a light meal 1–2 hours prior (avoid coming on an empty stomach). Wear loose, comfortable clothing. Avoid alcohol and heavy exercise. After: Drink plenty of water. Rest if possible. Avoid strenuous activity for a few hours. Some people feel energized; others feel a pleasant tiredness — both are normal.
Yes — acupuncture works excellently alongside conventional medicine and other holistic therapies like Reiki and Meditation. Always inform us of any ongoing medications or treatments so we can tailor your care accordingly.
Reiki (pronounced “ray-key”) is a Japanese energy healing practice meaning “Universal Life Energy.” A trained practitioner channels this energy through gentle hand placements on or just above the body, promoting deep relaxation and the body’s natural ability to heal. It is non-invasive, gentle, and safe for all ages.
Most people experience deep relaxation and peace. Common sensations include warmth or gentle tingling, emotional release, a floating or deeply restful feeling, and reduced mental chatter. Some people fall asleep — which is perfectly fine and a sign your body is deeply restoring itself.
A Reiki session is where you receive healing energy from the practitioner. A Reiki class teaches you how to channel Reiki energy yourself — for self-healing and to heal others. Classes are available at beginner (Level 1), intermediate (Level 2), and Master levels, both online and offline.
No — Reiki works regardless of belief or skepticism. Many of our most satisfied clients came in doubtful and left feeling a real difference. An open mind is helpful, but no specific belief system is required. Reiki is compatible with all faiths and backgrounds.
Absolutely! No prior experience or special ability is needed. Level 1 covers the history of Reiki, basics of energy, self-healing techniques, and how to give Reiki to family and friends. Classes are available in-person at Mumbai & Thane, and online for students anywhere in the world.
Yes — Reiki energy is not limited by physical distance. Distance attunements are fully effective and are widely practiced worldwide by Reiki Masters. Our online classes include live video sessions, personal attunements, study materials, and ongoing support from Anish.
Absolutely — beginners are very welcome! Our sessions are designed to be accessible and gentle. Anish guides each session step-by-step, so you will always know exactly what to do. There is no right or wrong way to experience meditation.
We practise several complementary styles including: mindfulness meditation (breath awareness), body scan and progressive relaxation, guided visualization, mantra-based meditation, and chakra-balancing meditation. Anish will recommend the most suitable style for your goals.
Group sessions typically run 60–90 minutes, including an introduction, guided practice, and a brief sharing time. Individual sessions are 45–60 minutes. Group sessions are held at venues like Dadar’s Vanmali Hall — contact us to stay updated on dates.
Regular practice has been shown to:
Wear loose, comfortable clothing. You are welcome to bring your own yoga mat or meditation cushion. Bring a light shawl or blanket as body temperature can drop during deep relaxation. Arrive 10 minutes early to settle in comfortably.
This is the most common concern — and the good news is that a “busy mind” is the perfect reason to start meditating! You don’t need to stop your thoughts. Meditation teaches you to observe thoughts without being swept away by them. With regular practice your mind naturally becomes calmer and more at peace.
