My Story
I've been where you are
I was the girl who did everything right. Head girl at school. Great grades at law school. A lawyer by 24, married into a respected family soon after. The kind of CV everyone congratulated me on. The kind of life everyone said I should be grateful for.
For years, I tried to feel that gratitude. Underneath it, I was making myself smaller and smaller to fit a life that looked enviable from the outside and felt unbearable to live. I told myself the discomfort was the price of doing the right thing. It wasn't.
Eventually, something in me said enough. I rebuilt from the ground up — leaving a marriage I'd been told to stay in, stepping away from a career I'd been so sure I wanted, starting over without a map. I only knew the life I'd built wasn't mine, and that pretending it was, had nearly cost me everything.
What came next wasn't a transformation. It was a rebuilding — slow, quiet, entirely my own. I found coaching. I found NLP. I found my voice, and the tools that brought back the person I'd spent years hiding.
That's the work I do now: helping accomplished people stop performing the life they're supposed to want, and start building the one they actually do.
My Approach
You don't need to arrive with a polished story or goals you've already figured out. The work starts with what's honest — the uncertainty, and the things you've been carrying alone.
I'll ask the questions that show you what you've been avoiding, protecting, or outgrowing. Not to steer you toward an answer — to help you find the one that's actually yours.
The goal isn't to leave inspired. It's to leave clearer — about yourself, your decisions, and what you actually want from your life and your work.
My Path To Coaching
Law
Graduated from law school in India and began practising as an advocate.
A new chapter
Left law when my daughter was born. What looked like a pause became an honest rebuild — of my career, and the life I wanted around it.
Coaching
Trained, qualified, and started doing the work I had been circling for years. My first clients became my first hundred.
Today
A growing international practice across four continents — including senior leaders at Meta, Google, Microsoft, J.P. Morgan, and Disney.
Why I Do This Work
I believe everyone deserves a life that actually fits them, not the one they were told to want and not the one that looks impressive from the outside.
The people I work with aren't broken, lost, or behind. They're accomplished, capable, and quietly carrying questions they've never had a safe place to ask. My job is to be that place and to bring the structure, the honesty, and the sharper mirror they need to answer those questions for themselves.
