Our Mission

About GITA

Gita Mahabir, licensed professional counselor (LPC) and licensed esthetician (LE), provides comprehensive mental health care services and non-invasive natural skin care services at Mahabir Wellness in Florida and Haslett, Michigan.

At Mahabir Wellness, we are committed to providing our clients with a holistic, person-centered approach to healthcare that integrates mental and emotional well-being with natural skin care solutions.

We believe in:

  • The importance of self-care and life balance for overall health
  • The power of natural ingredients and treatments to nourish and improve the skin
  • Creating a supportive and empowering environment for our clients

Our mission is to help our clients achieve their unique wellness goals by providing them with the tools and resources they need to feel and look their best.
Mahabir Wellness offers proactive, action-based therapy addressing a variety of concerns, including depression, anxiety, menopause, insomnia, relationship challenges, trauma, and more. Individual therapy and couples therapy is available in-person or via telehealth appointments.

In addition to therapy, we provide a boutique experience for clients desiring healthy skin without toxins, chemicals, or invasive procedures. Through machine enhanced, non-invasive procedures and natural botanical facials, our Lansing skin care services help to lift, plump, massage, tighten, correct, and brighten skin in order to give a more defined and glowing appearance, while working to prevent future skin irregularities.

Hello, I'm Gita!

Starting over 30-years ago, I learned I had a passion for helping others feel better about themselves. As a child, I helped friends and classmates feel more beautiful by working on the surface and with what I had, making custom make-up with colors inspired by the Caribbean.


As a teen, I began to study the importance of healthy skin, rather than surface level beauty, as the key to lifelong skincare. Becoming a Licensed Esthetician (LE) in Miami, Florida, and having clients open up to me while providing skin care services, ignited my passion and second calling to become a therapist. I earned an undergraduate degree from Siena College and a master’s degree in counseling from Spring Arbor University, becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC).


Today, with over 25-years of professional skin care experience and more than 15-years of professional counseling experience, I have thrived at bringing together two passions with one goal: to help others become the healthiest versions of themselves.
