Manna Abraham

Manna Abraham spent the first chapter of her life in boardrooms. A Chartered Accountant and CPA who became the youngest CFO of a multinational, she learned how to navigate complex numbers, global teams, and the unspoken politics of visibility and influence. On paper, she’d “made it.” In reality, she hit a quieter crisis: performance without peace started to feel like another form of struggle.

That turning point sent her into a deep inquiry: why do intelligent, successful people keep hitting the same emotional walls—grief, loss, burnout, a sense that life looks fine but feels off? Instead of treating that as a personal weakness, Manna began to see it as unprocessed trauma and inherited patterns showing up in very high-functioning ways.

Drawing on trauma-informed practice, neuroscience, somatic work, and ancient Eastern philosophies like Sankhya and Vedanta, she created the Emotion Memory Pattern Release (EMPR) Method™ and the 27 Dimensions of Being™, a practical way to release deeply held emotional patterns without endlessly retelling your story. Through her company Life Full Circle, she now works with self-aware professionals, leaders, and entrepreneurs who want to keep their ambition but change the nervous system it’s running on.

Manna is the author of FINALLY FREE: The 6-Step Path to Healing Personal and Generational Trauma When Talk Therapy Isn’t Enough, which distills her EMPR framework into a step-by-step path for people who’ve “done the work” and still feel stuck in the same emotional loops. She also trains coaches, therapists, and wellness practitioners to work safely and effectively with high-functioning clients carrying deep trauma.

As a podcast guest, Manna brings grounded, no-fluff conversations about trauma, identity, and leadership. Translating big ideas into gentle, precise insights for high achievers, women in transition, and practitioners who know “doing more” isn’t the answer anymore.
