how we could live instead
how we are taught to live
Experiencing overwhelm?
Are you constantly feeling physically and emotionally drained, striving for perfection and acceptance, while ignoring your own needs and capacity?
Distant from self & others?
Do you struggle to express your feelings or understand others? Do you want close relationships but find it hard because you try to please everyone and feel bad setting limits?
Getting More Clarity
Understanding yourself helps you make better decisions and move confidently towards what you want.
Preventing Burnout
Listening to yourself and your body stops chronic tiredness, quiets the inner critic, and lets you live mindfully.
Why Emotion Matters
Understanding your feelings helps you communicate better with yourself and your friends and family, creating strong, richer and more fulfilling connections.
Feeling analysis paralysis?
Do you often find yourself mentally exhausted from overthinking various choices, unable to make a decision without second-guessing yourself?
Is this you?
Stuck in a rut?
Do you often feel frustrated and confused, unable to find inner motivation and direction, trapped in a cycle that keeps repeating itself?
Moving Forward
Aligning your actions with your values reignites your inner drive and helps you find purpose.

Hello there! I'm Sonali, and I feel incredibly grateful to do what I love — help people expand their holistic intelligence, covering mind - body - emotion -spirit, especially during life transitions.
My goal is to support you in achieving your dreams and expressing your true self.
With 10+ years of corporate experience working in the world’s top financial centre, the City of London, I've had the privilege of assisting both companies and private individuals in uncovering their strengths, sharing their stories, and moving forward confidently. As a coaching practitioner, I am trained in scientifically backed methods rooted in neuroplasticity, somatic psychology, and listening techniques from leading institutions worldwide.
I've had the pleasure of collaborating with clients across three continents and partnering with talented individuals from companies like Linklaters, EY, NHS, as well as non-profits and venture capital accelerators.
At the heart of my belief is the human need to feel seen, heard, understood, and respected. This sense of connection fosters safety, allowing us to explore deeply, face challenges, and find what truly matters. It leads to confident leadership in our personal and professional lives, creating authentic, trustworthy environments. The best part is, this positive impact spreads to our communities.
I'm excited to connect with you!
P.S. I live in London but am lucky to have clients and friends across the world. Some of the personal things that bring me joy each day include long morning walks in nature with loved ones (rain or shine!), cooking up Ayurvedic dishes with seasonal finds, sweating it out at reformer pilates, and winding down with a good book and Indian classical music (Raag Malkauns is my favourite!).

Magically intuitive, Sonali is a rarity in coaching and my go-to when I seek a holistic tune-up for my emotional fitness.
Dr Prina Kakad, Medical Doctor, London
I have already seen the benefits in the interactions I have had with my patients, for which I am truly grateful.I would truly urge anyone contemplating coaching to embrace their curiosity!

Meera Aswani, Senior Solicitor, Gibraltar
Sonali has guided me through the coaching process over the past 9 months. I gained an understanding of how my mental chatter affects my emotional state and my attitude and reactions towards my work, my relationships and my daily life.
Caroline Lumpp, Investment Director and M&A, Stockholm
Emotional path to self-discovery, understanding myself better and finding my values. I felt a direct connection with Sonali which made it so easy for me to trust her.

Betül Baykal, Associate Director ESG, London
You will notice how that confidence positively impacts how you show up at work, at home, and with your friends.
Marjorie Chushi, Operations, Zambia
I loved that you made me feel comfortable to be myself, and just let it out according to how I was feeling. That made me feel lighter after every session.
Ven Iroidis, Senior Manager Consulting, London
Your empathy, energy, and enthusiasm create a supportive environment where I feel comfortable expressing my concerns, allowing us to delve deeper into the root. After each session, I experienced a remarkable sense of relaxation and stress relief, empowering me to approach each day with a fresh perspective. I recognise that my impatience for immediate results led me to prematurely halt our sessions. However, in hindsight, I've come to realise the profound impact our discussions and your coaching methods had on my clarity of thought regarding both personal and work aspects of my life.
Millie Pari, Director Corporate Strategy, London
I reached out to Sonali when I was feeling stuck in my career, not knowing what step to take next but feeling that I needed to do something to renew my passion for work. I thought I needed career coaching but instead we spent some time working on my personal brand. This allowed me to pinpoint my differentiating skills and from that Sonali and I worked together on where these skills would be most valuable. As a consequence, in just one power session, I have narrowed down my search to a specific field and, having worked on my personal brand, I feel much more confident in my abilities and my future.
Step into our special art gallery, an ode to self-expression.
Play music to enjoy the art
Let me tell you a story....
One day, Jennifer, who also enjoyed drawing, decided to try her hand at painting a peacock too. But there was a little hiccup – all the blue and green pencils were gone! So, Jennifer got creative and grabbed the only colours left: pink and orange. She started drawing with such enthusiasm!
Once upon a time, there was a little girl who adored art. Every day, she'd sit in Mrs. Logan's classroom, right across from her friend Jennifer. She had a special talent for drawing peacocks from memory, using all sorts of vibrant blues, yellows, and greens to bring them to life on paper. The peacock meant a lot to her because it was a special bird in her Indian culture.
Both girls were completely caught up in the flow of the moment, admiring each other's talents and having a blast. But for the little girl, that day was eye-opening. It taught her something really important: you don't always have to follow the crowd. Sometimes, by adding your own unique twist, you can create something truly special – just like a blank canvas waiting for your personal touch. This lesson stayed with her, shaping how she viewed the world and lived her life.
As the little girl grew older, she realised the power of self-expression, embracing her individuality and collaborating with others. This realisation inspired her journey to help others discover their true selves and express who they are with confidence.
And here's the surprise twist: that little girl was me.
As a child, I found magic in art, using it as my language when words failed. This early passion for storytelling shaped my professional path into the world of public relations, communications and coaching.
