Past experiences and learnings

“I went through a prolonged period of physical difficulties as a child- obesity due to a medicine reaction, frequent headaches, a form of whooping cough and an issue with my knees because of which my mobility was restricted for several months. All this was too much for me as a child- which forced me to look deeper and read books on spirituality, astrology and a wide range of subjects. In some ways this journey made me more empathetic and relatively more mature for my age. Over time, I became a counsellor and assisted people across different personal issues- including grief counselling, emotional support and online counselling.”

Personal philosophy

  1. God has been kind and it is a privileged life that I lead- ever grateful for that. Coaching for charity is a good means to express this gratefulness. I treat this as my "individual social responsibility".
  2. The charges for coaching are paid directly towards supporting mutually agreed causes- leading to a double gain- gains to the coachee (receiver of coaching) and to the beneficiary of the funds. No amount comes to me personally.
  3. I believe- my genuine desire to help and the ability to empathize are powerful tools that enable me to go the extra mile.
