Grief entered my life without warning.
It arrived at 3AM. When someone close to my heart was taken in a tragic accident, and the ground beneath me gave way.
Grief has a way of doing that. It questions your beliefs, your identity and the anchors you thought were stable.
In the wake of that loss, yoga became my lifeline. It taught me how to stay present – one breath and one movement at a time. It did not make the pain disappear, but it created space for stillness alongside sorrow.
What began as a deeply personal journey gradually evolved into a wider understanding about grief, enriched through my Grief Educator certification. It expanded my lens on grief beyond visible loss into life disruptions, identity shifts and quieter inner experiences.
To support this journey more deeply, I pursued specialized training in Grief Yoga, where timeless yogic wisdom became an embodied way to help people move through Grief.
Yoga, for me, is a way of living – not just a fitness routine. It offers a toolkit of breath, movement, sound and stillness that follows you off the mat and into your relationships, decisions and daily life.
Grief & Beyond is the result of this lived experience and evolved understanding.
This work is not a theory found in a textbook. It is the path I have walked – and the one where I hold for others to walk in their own way, so they do not have to walk it alone.
After more than 15 years in the high-pressure world of advertising and digital marketing, I came to a quiet but clear realization: while I was building brands, my deeper calling was to help people rebuild themselves.
That insight led me to the Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram(KYM), where I trained as a Yoga Therapist.
For over a decade, I have supported more than a hundred individual care-seekers each month at KYM. Across thousands of sessions, one truth has revealed itself again and again: everyone carries something unseen.
I have worked with care-seekers navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, major life transitions and the quieter emotional burdens that often go unnamed – offering them a safe and steady ground when life feels uncertain.
I am also a certified Life Coach from Erickson International, which allows me to blend reflective coaching with the embodied wisdom of yoga therapy.
Life coaching does not try to fix your grief or rush your healing. Instead, it gently supports you in rebuilding life around what has changed.
