Biography
Quite early in my life, I realized how important it was, for me and my well-being, to be
who I am and show up as I am. I have realized that accepting who you are and having the
courage to speak your truth, showing up with honesty and bravery is the ultimate
freedom. Because only when you choose for what matters to you, will you find peace and
contentment from within.
Checking in with how I am feeling when I speak or act upon something helped me
understand myself better and discover the values that I hold close to my heart. Not only
did this way of looking within for happiness, acceptance and approval bring me more
peace but it also helped me create deeper connection with people around me and find
my purpose in life.
My life’s passion is to help as many people as possible in my lifetime, to have better
quality of life.
For almost 15 years of my life, I did this through being in research as a PhD student and
then a postdoctoral fellow, working on diseases affecting developing countries. As a
researcher, I have gone through the emotional and mental hurdles, the self-doubt, the
“not good enough” feelings that one goes through from time to time. Being away from
home (India ☺) and people I love, I also experienced the hardships of uprooting myself,
starting somewhere new and creating a home, over and over again. Connecting to my
inner self, my truth and my purpose was what helped me get through these moments.
However, over the past few years, I realized that, although my purpose to serve stayed the
same, my way of getting there had changed. I wanted to become a life coach and support
people by focusing on their emotional and mental well-being.
In the beginning, I felt scared and uncomfortable with taking a very different path and
not knowing where it will lead but I chose to become comfortable with discomfort,
accept my fears, accept that something needs to change in my life and do what I believe
holds true for me, right now. I am really happy for taking that brave step. I feel that
accepting my feelings has given me more energy and strength to push through the
uncertain times. I feel confident that I am on the right path.
My intention is to help you do the same, stay honest with yourself, get out of your
comfort zone, live more consciously and move towards your dreams.
Now, I help people especially women, feel confident in their own skin, have the courage
to be who they are and stand up for the values that matter to them.
