Hey — you found me.
It was meant to be. I just know it. And I’m glad you did.
Yes I’m a Master Life Coach and Neurolinguistic Programming Practitioner, Pharmacist, Yoga Teacher and Entrepreneur.
But, there’s been a few chapters before I got to this point...
Get comfortable, and I’ll fill you in.
In the beginning
I guess you could say I had a typical upbringing in terms of my culture. Living in Kenya with Indian parents, the expectations for my generation were pretty huge. My parents worked hard to give me the best opportunities. They sacrificed. They believed in me and they supported me.
Sounds perfect right?
But studying for a Bachelor of Pharmacy at Curtin University didn’t complete me.
It never felt like it was ‘my everything’.
Grit
I almost quit. (GASP – I know, how could I?)
Growing up I felt the weight of the world on my shoulders. I wanted to make my parents proud, as we all do. I didn’t come from a perfect family. I didn’t have an ideal upbringing.
I worked really hard because I thought being successful would fix things or change the past. My family life meant I became a people pleaser for a long time.
I had turned into a perfectionist. I felt I had to achieve to be worthy of love. Looking back what a load for a young person to carry.
However, I studied hard and I finished my degree. I qualified as a pharmacist. I felt a sense of pride, yes, but nothing else really changed.
So, what made me go searching for something beyond Pharmacy?
I knew there was more to life. I felt it deeply. I wanted to discover more and to create a greater feeling of alignment between mind, body and spirit.
My real ‘a-ha’ moment though came in my early 20’s.
A sequence of events culminated in me becoming unwell. The kind of sick from the inside.
I knew medicine wasn’t the answer.
A much deeper kind of healing was needed.
Strike a pose
I discovered yoga which felt so right. It released an energy, and created an energy. It was a revelation.
I started to rebuild myself.
It’s been so profound. Yoga is more than movement. It’s about the whole person and how you approach the practice. It’s about self-compassion, self-awareness and recognizing your body feels different one day to the next. And the only practice that truly matters is your own.
Blended
My stress and anxiety along with food sensitivities showed up in my gut and in my skin. I suffered. I was bloated and sluggish. Basically, I was living with pain, every single day.
I decided to try essential oils. Success. Progress. I felt a real difference to my body.
I discovered my passion always lied in helping others, hence I studied to become a certified Life Coach & NLP Practitioner.
Everything works in harmony to bring a balance – the yoga, the essential oils, the mindset, lifestyle shifts and healing from your past.
This also led to me releasing my own Essential Oil therapeutic blends to support your whole family. I’m so in love with them.
A never-ending journey
That’s me so far. Phew. Deep breaths.
And there’ll be more challenges. That’s life. It’s how we grow. It’s what makes us. And I welcome it.
My business has evolved from my passion to help and teach what’s possible when you take a holistic approach.
I am a certified Life Coach and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Practitioner.
My promise to you is I’ll keep it real. I’ll continue to share everything I learn, and together we’ll create the very best version of you.
Thank you so much for being here. I’m so excited for your journey ahead.
Sending Love and Good Vibes always,
Let’s Connect!
