I help brilliant professional women reignite their spark; moving from stuck and second-guessing to self-trust, momentum, and aliveness.
My Story
For a long time, I played small.
Not because I wasn’t capable, but because I’d learned it felt safer to stay unseen.
I kept the peace.
I made sure everyone else was okay, even when I wasn’t.
I stayed agreeable and gave more than I asked for.
Over time, I stopped asking for what I needed.
Owning my voice, my success, and my life felt risky.
Then the call got louder: it’s time.
I chose to change.
I studied coaching, psychology, trauma recovery, and nervous-system regulation.
I went deep into the patterns that keep us circling and how to break them.
What I found was this:
It’s not about doing more.
It’s about trusting yourself, setting clean boundaries, and leading from the inside out.
It’s about reigniting your spark by connecting to your purpose in life.
What I Believe
-
You’re not broken. You can rewire your brain and change your life.
-
Self-trust is built by keeping small promises to yourself.
-
Momentum builds from simple, repeatable steps.
-
A clear mind lives in a calm body.
-
Feeling alive is living your purpose.
How I Work
Grounded in psychology, neuroscience, and trauma-informed, practical coaching.
I use nervous-system work and somatic practices to help you stop circling, decide what matters to reignite the spark in you.
Decisive sessions. Simple follow-through. Private and confidential.
Sessions available in English, Hindi, and Punjabi.

Beyond the Work
When I’m not with clients, you’ll find me meditating, walking my dog, or journalling over tea.
I believe depth is power and you can choose to reclaim your life.
