The work I do began with the work I had to do on myself.

When your life looks fine and does not feel fine

Most people who find me are good at coping. You achieve. You function. You keep going. From the outside your life looks settled, and you may even be the person everyone else leans on.

Privately it is a different story. The same fight in every relationship. A sense of worth that depends on the last thing you got right. A tiredness that rest does not touch. And often a sentence you have said to yourself more than once: “I know this. I understand this. So why am I still doing it?”

I do not know that sentence from a textbook. I know it because I used to say it.

I was the good girl who had everything together

For years I was the overachiever, the perfectionist, the good girl. Behind the gold stars were years of depression, relationship pain, questions about my worth, and a restlessness I could not explain.

Underneath all of it sat one question I could not outrun: who am I when I am not being who everyone needs me to be?

That question made me a client long before it made me a therapist. I sat with things I had spent years avoiding. I began to notice how much of what I believed about myself had simply been learned. And I discovered the thing my whole practice now rests on.

Understanding something in your head and being able to live differently are two very different things.

What a saree taught me about worth

I married into a traditional Marwari family, where a woman’s saree and jewellery quietly spoke before she did. I did not have the freedom to buy either. Money was not mine to earn, and it was not mine to spend. Before every family function I would stand in front of my cupboard, looking at the same few sarees, already knowing what would be said.

Years later I built my own career. I could walk into a shop and buy what I had once only admired through the window. People noticed. The compliments came. And nothing in me changed.

The wound had never been about the saree. I had confused having something with being worthy of having it.

Healing is not teaching the body that it can finally afford the saree. It is helping the body discover that its worth was never hanging in the wardrobe.

You may know your own version. The promotion, the relationship, the home you worked so hard for, and the feeling you were promised that never quite arrived. Getting the thing does not reach the part of you that decided, long ago, what you were allowed to have. That part is where we work.

Then I became a mother

I have two boys, and they taught me something no training had. You can spend years understanding your own childhood, and it will still walk into the room with you when you are raising your children.

So I asked myself the uncomfortable questions. What happens when my child triggers something that belongs to my past? What happens when I want to respond consciously and an older part of me reacts first? And the hardest one: what if, one day, my children have something to heal from in me?

That question did not make me a worse mother. It made me responsible for becoming conscious. Conscious parenting, I learned, is not about never getting triggered. It is about noticing, repairing and learning, again and again.

If you are a parent who is frightened by your own reactions, you will not find judgement here. You will find someone who has asked herself the same questions.

And then my marriage ended

Divorce was not a chapter I had planned for. There was no clean moment of clarity. There was a life that had changed, two children to hold, work to continue, a home and a school to find, and decisions that could not wait until I felt ready to make them.

There were days I sat calmly with someone else’s deepest pain, and then went home to be a mother working out her own next step. Both were me. Neither cancelled the other.

I did not become stronger overnight. I became more honest about what I could carry, what I could not, and what I was no longer willing to abandon in myself. I moved cities. I rebuilt routines. And somewhere in all that ordinary, exhausting life, I understood something.

Starting again does not always look courageous.

Sometimes it looks like filling out a form, finding a school, making dinner, taking a difficult call, putting your children to bed, and waking up to do it all again. So if you come to me in the middle of your own rebuilding, I will not expect you to look brave. I will expect you to be tired, and we will start from there.

Why I am still a client

I was a client through all of it, and I still am. That matters, because I do not sit across from you as someone who has finished healing and now holds the answers. I keep noticing my patterns. I keep meeting parts of myself I did not know were there.

What changed is how I stay with myself. I learned to listen to the body, to notice the nervous system, to question the stories I had inherited, and to tell apart what belongs to my past, what belongs to my family system, and what belongs to today. Telling those three apart is a large part of the work we will do together.

From client to practitioner

My own healing became my professional path. I trained across inner child healing, trauma, nervous system and somatic work, intergenerational patterns, family constellations, womb healing and identity work. The more I learned, the clearer one thing became: these are not separate worlds.

A childhood adaptation can show up in an adult relationship. A family loyalty can shape someone’s identity. Something that happened before conscious memory can still be held by the body. And a person can understand all of it and still not be able to live differently.

I wanted to know what happens when you bring those layers into the same room. Six good disciplines, taught separately, and nobody had assembled them into one coherent way of working with a real client in a real hour. So I built it. That work became the 7W Integrative Method and the 9 womb imprints.

Why I train other practitioners

I had lived the gap myself. You can learn modality after modality and still sit across from a real person and wonder: what do I do with everything that is happening here? What do I follow? What do I slow down? What belongs to their present, their history, or their family system? What is happening in their body, and what is happening in me?

More information does not answer those questions. A deeper way of seeing and holding a human being does, and that is what my trainings are built to develop. I now train therapists, coaches and healers, including practitioners who have themselves trained in fifty or more modalities.

What I actually do now

I am a trauma-informed therapist, trainer and coach. I am not a psychiatrist and I do not diagnose or prescribe.

People come to me about relationships, self-worth, identity, repeating patterns, emotional overwhelm, family dynamics and childhood experiences. Most of all they come with the things they understand perfectly well and still find themselves living out.

In practice there are four ways into the same system: inner child healing for the adaptations built in childhood, intergenerational trauma and family constellation work for what belongs to the lineage rather than to you, womb healing for the imprints that predate memory, and somatic nervous system work throughout, because a pattern that lives in the body does not leave through the intellect. I do not treat these as separate boxes. They are different ways of understanding the same person.

And the goal is not to make you perfectly healed. It is to help you recognise yourself, your patterns, your protections, your needs and your choices, so that you have more freedom in how you live.

How I hold a session

Slowly. That is the thing clients mention most often, and I take it as the compliment it is. I will ask about your body before I ask what you concluded about it. I will let a silence sit rather than fill it with a technique. And I will tell you honestly what I think, including when what I think is inconvenient. One client, working with me for more than three years, put it as calling a spade a spade. That is the register.

I will also tell you what this is not. It is not a replacement for psychiatric care. It is not a guarantee. And it is not a place where you have to arrive articulate. Several of the most productive first sessions I have held consisted largely of someone crying and then apologising for crying.

I know both sides of the room

I know what it is to be the person asking why she is still doing it. And I know what it is to sit on the other side while someone slowly finds the answer for themselves.

I am a therapist, a trainer and a mother. I am a woman who has rebuilt parts of her life, and a practitioner who is still learning. Underneath all of those roles I am still the woman who once sat in the client’s chair, wondering who she really was. That is why I do not expect you to arrive with everything figured out.

You can come with the story you have. We can begin there.
