Tell us about your background?
As a self-love coach and wellbeing consultant, my focus is on helping individuals achieve optimal mental and emotional health by learning to love and care for themselves in a positive and compassionate way. To develop a great relationship with themselves.
I believe that self-love is the foundation for all other forms of love, and that when we learn to love and accept ourselves unconditionally, we can better navigate life’s challenges and cultivate more fulfilling relationships with others.
In my work, I use a variety of tools and techniques to help clients build self-awareness, develop positive self-talk, set healthy boundaries, manage stress and anxiety, and cultivate a deeper sense of self-compassion.

Also held sessions for mental health charity and Watford 3 River Trust charitable organisation who organised getting together events for seniors.
The groups had grown from zero to 100 over a period of 1.5 yrs students who regularly attended sessions
When I moved to Belgaum india I was offering yoga classes here too and had a consistent batch for 2 yrs .
In 2020 I began Reiki healing and also completed hypnotherapy course and have offered healing and coaching to around 500- 600 clients with consistent results especially to those struggling with mental health issues like depression anxiety and panic attacks.
Besides this I have had clients reach out to me for addiction recovery, relationship issues and health related problems.
I have consistently been sharing knowledge and content regarding these issues and about self care and self love on my social media platforms which have 1000s of followers.
I have also conducted workshops on different topics and given educational talks at various forums
How did you plan to be a mental health expert/ healer/ counselor, what was the key challenge ?
From my own personal experience, I went through feelings of loneliness, depression, anxiety, and panic attacks, but I did not want to resort to medication. Fortunately, the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK offered me counseling and a brief Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which helped me greatly. However, I was also seeking natural remedies to heal and the universe presented me with various modalities that helped me with these issues.
Initially, I completed a Teacher training course in Yoga and then expanded my knowledge by learning Reiki and hypnotherapy. These practices brought about significant shifts and changes in my life, which inspired me to share my experiences with others in the society who were also struggling with similar challenges.
3b What was the key challenges ?
A :As a dentist by profession, not having any knowledge of healing modalities posed the greatest challenge for me. Initially, I was skeptical about the results and doubted their effectiveness. However, after experiencing remarkable shifts, my belief in these modalities grew stronger. At first, the external world reflected my inner skepticism, and I attracted clients who were also doubtful. But as my belief grew, I started to draw clients who had faith in the process, and this brought about positive changes.
Energy healing modalities are often unfamiliar to most people, as the results are intangible and require trust and belief in the process. Therefore, the first step is to create awareness and educate people about these modalities, and then onboard clients who are open to the idea.
What are your Future plans and projects –
Our next objective is to reach out to fellow healers who practice diverse modalities and work together to develop innovative services for our clients. In addition, we plan to produce informative materials and increase public knowledge about health and wellness. Furthermore, we aim to initiate a movement focused on self-love, encouraging individuals to prioritize their well-being by practicing self-care for improved physical, emotional, and mental health.
