About Me


I have spent the better part of a decade moving through countries, occupations, and evolving versions of myself...trying to build a life led with intentional authenticity. This site is a small attempt at sharing my explorations and learnings. 


It is also, for me, a slightly brave attempt to share more of my whole self online than just a Linkedin profile, which was the full extent of my online presence before. My professional avatar is that of someone with 20 years of corporate experience in the COO/CFO track.


The more fun avatars though — at least for this website — are all those I grew into as part of my life journey… a dancer, a writer, a poet, a gardener, a farmer, an entrepreneur, an interior decorator, a yoga trainer, a life coach, a world traveler, a kirtan chanter… and possibly, a model. I have relished all my eccentric experiences all over the world, and look forward to tasting more. You can find some travel stories here.


In hindsight, it has also been a “self-healing” journey, the story of which I explore in my soon-to-be published book "UnMoored". Through my explorations, I have had the opportunity to learn many practical tools and techniques for good health... in all the dimensions of physical, emotional, mental and spiritual...acupuncture, pranic healing, EMDR, yoga, Sukyo Mahikari, energy tapping, Vipassana, astrology, Shinrin yoku, chakras, shadow work, sound healing...and even conscious sexual healing.


But there is so much more I have learned along the way. The deeper lessons that come when you let go and learn to flow with life. About gratitude and humility. About detachment, not just from physical things, relationships, and emotions, but also, and mainly, from the ego. About finding love in a multitude of arms. And most beautifully,  finding joy, radiant joy, in the tiniest and littlest bits and moments of this beautiful life.


These days I find myself helping others in their life journeys and issues. People who meet me in person sometimes ask how I look so light and free, so childish, youthful even (pro tip: skip the creams, use oils), “glowing” as one person called it, “joyous in spirit, especially in the face of deep trauma” as another person wondered.


It now feels breathtakingly simple to me. But it took me a long time to arrive here. In hindsight, the series of small, iterative steps that I took, mirrors my professional approach when faced with a continuous improvement or transformation project. I just turned it on myself this time around.


If any part of this journey, or the writings on this site, resonates with you,  I would be happy to share my learnings, and how I might support you towards your goals for your life journey.
