My Professional Journey
Now, I have gained over 18+ years of experience working in the field of Anaesthesia in Mumbai & Navi Mumbai.
During this journey, I got introduced to the concept of Wellness & Skin Fitness by my Professor in Medical college.
When my family & I benefitted with the Wellness Program, I felt deep in my heart that I too should be equipped to help families to benefit with the same program as we did. So, later I took training in the field of wellness & became a Certified Nutrition & Wellness Advisor.
After personally benefitting with the skin fitness program, I trained & equipped myself to become a Certified Skin Fitness Consultant.
For more than a decade now, with the constant guidance of my mentors, my husband & I, along with our team, have & are still helping & guiding families to improve their health & move towards achieving Wellness & Optimal health.
MY JOURNEY AS MOTHER OF A TEENAGER
Along with all the above credentials as a professional, I am also a "TEENAGER's MOM".
As a mom, I too have faced the issues, most parents with teenagers face. Along with my busy professional practice, I did my best to understand my teen & help simplify the journey of adolescence.
During that process, I found that, in today’s world, most or almost all teenagers or adolescents from age 13 to age 19 years, face many ups & downs in their life due to Peer pressure, Academic stress, Competition, Low self esteem & many many more......
This actually inspired & motivated me to read a lot of Teen related books, research and find ways to understand my teen better & help & guide not only my Teen but also many other teens whom I knew in & around my neighbourhood.
Soon I became a GO TO MOM for many teenagers as they felt comfortable talking to me & sharing their feelings & issues with me.
It’s then that I realised there are many many teens & young adults out there who are going through these situations & even parents are not able to understand how to help them out.
It reminded me of my years as a teenager. Even though being a high achiever in school & college, with many friends, I remembered that I always wished deep down, that if I could have someone like a Life coach or a Mentor whom I could talk to & who could help me navigate through my teenage issues, lot many things could have changed in my personality & my life.
Yes, those things eventually did change in my life but in the later years as an adult when I got introduced to my mentors through the Wellness program. They have & are impacting my live positively till date.
MY HEART'S CALLING OF BECOMING A TEEN LIFE COACH
It struck both my heart & mind, this is exactly what I wanted to do -
"Empower Teens & Young Adults".
This is my Heart’s calling.
I wanted to help, guide & equip Teenagers to navigate life’s uncertainties, discover their true passions & talents, develop a deeper understanding of who they are now, and who they want to become.

As a DIVINE APPOINTMENT, my heart's calling lead me to www.teenwisdom.com
One way lead to another & with the constant support & guidance of my Coach Tami Walsh & “TeenWisdom.inc” team, I trained to become a Certified Teen Life coach for girls.
While I was working towards empowering Teen girls, I was approached by mom's of teen boys. I realised teen boys also go through similar issues & they too will benefit with the guidance of a Life coach.
So, now here I am -THE PIONEER- THE 1st CERTIFIED TEEN LIFE COACH in India entirely focused towards Empowering Teen girls & boys to "SIMPLIFY TEENAGE."
