My Journey

I grew up in a small beach town in India, surrounded by a loving family and a close-knit community. That sense of belonging, of being held by people and place, remains one of my deepest sources of strength.

​

After business school, I built a career in HR. Later, my husband and I followed our own current, moving to another beach town - this time in California, which I now call home.

​

My professional path in the U.S. wasn’t linear. Just as things seemed to settle, something shifted. At the time, those moments felt unsettling. In hindsight, they were invitations - to explore, to travel, and to discover new parts of myself along the way.

​

Over the past several years, my work has taken many forms: running a consulting practice, working within DEI at a global agency, teaching and applying Design Thinking, shaping employee experience at a large global organization, contributing to a published book, and even creating a nonprofit travel club for children during the pandemic. Each chapter added texture, perspective, and depth.

​

For a long time, I measured success by titles, momentum, and a full calendar. When those markers disappeared, I questioned my own worth. That reckoning was painful, but it also became a turning point.

​

I began to turn inward. Through programs like ICM, IDEO U and #IamRemarkable, and working with coaches and therapists, I started to redefine success - not as a straight line, but as alignment.

​

Today, I’m a certified somatic coach. I support clients in aligning different parts of their lives through mindset and body-based (somatic) work - helping them build steadiness, awareness, and forward movement that feels true to who they are.

This work is ongoing. There is no final arrival. But I’ve learned how to stay with myself through the waves, and I’m here to remind you that you can, too.
