My Story
"The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are." - Carl Gustav Jung
My journey into coaching began in mid 2023, when upon a lot of self-reflection, I decided to embark on a career path that would provide me with purpose and fulfillment, which I somehow lacked in my previous corporate jobs.
However, the seed of coaching was probably planted in my head much earlier. The year was 2019 when my 5-year marriage had come to a painful end. To compound this misery of separation, I was also laid-off from my well-paying corporate job and I had to subsequently move back to India. All at once, out of the blue, my idyllic world had fallen apart.
At the time, there was a lot of anger, grief, hurt, pain and resentment. It seemed that all the forces in the world had colluded to bring upon this misery on me.
I was now faced with a choice:
-
I could have continued to operate in this victim-mode, blaming the world for all my misfortunes;
Or,
-
I could have viewed the setbacks as an opportunity to learn and grow, and take the power in my own hands to bring about a radical change in my own life.
Self-awareness is the first step towards personal growth and thankfully, I chose wisely. Therein began my journey becoming who I truly am.
A journey of inward reflection, greater self-awareness and continuous pursuit of learning and development ensued in the following years.
The goal was simple: to become the best version of myself and to lead my best life possible.
This quest has remained ever since.

My Coaching Philosophy
-
I believe that everyone has the potential to unlock the best version of themselves and lead a meaningful, purposeful and fulfilling life.
-
By identifying and working towards their goals, anyone can create the life of their dreams with a simple aim of trying to get 1% better each day.
My Coaching Approach
-
I’m here to serve, inspire and guide you as a coach.
-
My approach focuses on developing a mindset that empowers you to transform and lead a fulfilling life.
-
I collaborate with you and create a safe space for you to open up.
-
I ask thought-provoking questions that will make you reflect, achieve clarity in thinking and come up with your own plan of action.
-
I help you create accountability to achieve your goals.
-
We work together to unleash your potential, transform your life and create your own legacy.
My Coaching Process
-
The International Coaching Federation (ICF) defines coaching as partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.
-
As a coach, I adhere to the ICF Core Competencies and Code of Ethics framework.
-
I am trained in the Core Energy Coaching™ and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) methodologies which I may tap into depending on the specific need of the client.
-
Each coaching session is in service of the client and tailored according to the individual's unique needs.
-
My role is not to teach, preach, or convince anyone of anything. I work with my clients to create greater self-awareness, improve their mindset, identify their goals, empower them to get their own answers, and overcome anything that gets in the way of achieving their goals.
-
It is important to note that I'm not a physician, psychiatrist or medical professional. I’ve been trained to provide guidance, emotional support and encouragement. I help clients reach their personal goals but I can’t diagnose or treat illnesses. Life coaching is not psychotherapy or a substitute for licensed counselling, medical advice or substance abuse treatment.
What is required from the client?
-
Be fully present and engaged in the sessions. Treat the sessions as sacred time for deep transformation to occur and this is best done in a quiet area where interruptions are non-existent or extremely limited.
-
Be honest and embrace vulnerability. You have a safe space to explore and reflect on any changes necessary to lead a fulfilling life.
-
Be open to new possibilities and new ways of thinking. Be prepared to be challenged, and create space for new ideas that you may not have considered yet.
-
Be responsible and accountable for your thoughts, feelings, actions and choices. You take ownership of your action plan for success and understand that nobody else can do the work for you. It is on you to achieve your goals.
-
Be action oriented. You understand that the value of coaching can only be derived once you take action on the insights from the session, and apply them to your life.
