One sunny morning, I am sitting on a couch looking outside my big window at the water with sun rays falling on it making it glitter, surrounded by lush greenery, feeling uncertain and thinking what is in the future for me now.
This went on for a few days. While reflecting on my life, something hit me like a lightening bolt.
After some months, there I was, a Certified Relationship and a Life Coach. A Coach is different from a licensed therapist in the sense that we don't diagnose you on any mental health condition. We believe in empowering you with problem-solving skills so that you can deal with any difficult situation successfully you are facing with.
How did I get into Relationship Coaching?
I studied Psychology in India and while I was doing my Masters, Counseling struck my fancy. And for some reason, I leaned towards studying marital relationships. I didn’t like whenever I used to see couples having conflicts. And that’s exactly why I picked the topic of marital adjustment for my PhD research also.
When I moved to the US, I never pursued Psychology. All those years, going through many transitions and challenges - personal and professional, I was at a juncture I questioned myself what is next for me.
Universe brought me back to Psychology. I'm glad it did, because it transformed my personal and professional life. So I made my mission to help others with my insights, knowledge, thoughts and actions via my coaching. I said God gave me this gift for a purpose and I will honor it.
I am one of the contributing writers for ThriveGlobal, Marriage, Divorcemag and Medium. My mission is to present thought provoking questions and spread awareness.
I am an Ordained Minister (wedding officiant). I love to marry people or renew vows and see the joy in their eyes.
I am a member of The International Coaching Federation (ICF) South Florida & International Association of Professional Relationship Coaches.
I am led by my authentic passion for helping people to lead their best romantic, fulfilling, and healthy lives. I am so passionate about it that even chemotherapy and radiation therapies didn't stop me from educating and helping others. I find it extremely rewarding. That is what kept me going.
It is never too late to do anything that you love to do. This time is not going to come back. So, I make the best of it.
LEAD BY EXAMPLE. This is what I strongly believe in. But before I could help others, I did my own inner work that helped me tremendously in my life. Meditation and Art helped me in healing and being true to myself and fully owning up to my role and responsibility within relationships transformed me and took me to a whole another level. That’s exactly I strive to do for others.
Now, this is not required of all the coaches, counselors, therapists, advisors, but it was my choice and I wanted it to be this way. I aspire to lead as a positive example in order to illuminate the way to follow for younger generation like my nieces and nephew and everyone out there.
"One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: that word is LOVE" - Sophocles
After 16 years of marriage, I discovered a lot about myself when I got into the dating world in my mid-life. It opened me up to a whole new world. But I struggled to navigate it and date consciously. The challenges in marriage and dating made me curious to learn, and that strong desire to better myself made me immerse into studying relationships. I became obsessed and buried myself in books and various courses that I took from Psychologists and Relationship experts.
I believe it is time for me now to share all the knowledge.
The thing is, we reinvent ourselves from time to time to grow and progress in life.
I feel helping others better their relationships is my calling in my second half of my life.
Being born and raised in India and now living in the US gives me a better understanding of both worlds. It gives me a versatility to tailor my approach and coach people from different cultural backgrounds. Therefore, using a holistic coaching designed to help every woman, man and couple better understand themselves I strive to help every person to create the life they desire and to have the love they deserve.
I use a variety of techniques that will help you challenge and change your unhelpful thinking or behavioral patterns.
I give my national and global clients a very personal, confidential service that gives them the vital support they need; and at the same time, fits within their busy professional schedules.
