Hi, I’m Pooja! I’m so glad you’re here
I envision a world where every woman is in control of her life, her actions and her decisions - empowered to go from shadow to strength.
My mission is to empower women and guide them in their journey to regain their clarity, confidence and purpose so they know their voice matters and their presence is valued. I will create a non-judgemental and safe space for my clients to be able to express themselves freely and honestly, enabling them to excel in every aspect of their life.
The little girl in you, she still dreams - and I do what I do because of that little girl in me
Born and brought up in Mumbai, India, I went to university in Switzerland when I was 18 and went on to work in Geneva, London, Dubai, NYC, Mumbai and finally in Barcelona. In the midst of all that, I married an Italian guy and have a gorgeous son!
I moved to Barcelona while I was pregnant, didn’t speak the language and didn’t know a soul in the city. My son was born very premature and I decided to stay home in the beginning to take care of my little one. Whilst this time was extremely special in more ways than I could have ever dreamed of, it was also one of the most challenging moments of my life.
The days turned into months, and months turned into years until one day it hit me that I had spent the last 4 years in a daze! I felt so fortunate to have been able to spend this time my son and wouldn’t have traded it for the world but I had always pictured myself with this huge career, traveling the world and had never considered being a stay at home mom for so long. I felt like I had lost a part of myself in this process.
I would experience moments of intense frustration and resentment for not having a career, then feelings of guilt because I should actually have been feeling grateful for all I have and then that would result in fear of what now, I’ve missed the boat, is this how I’m going to spend the rest of my life. I played the victim constantly; blamed life, blamed others, blamed the situation… I was overwhelmed, exhausted, lost.
My Transformation Moment
One morning someone very close to me said “you’ve got to get yourself together because I’m tired of you complaining about things that you actually can do something about.” It hit hard, it hurt, but it rang true. That’s when I decided to get back control of my life because the only one who could save me was me.
So I reached out to a coach and worked on myself. I got myself a job, got promoted rapidly, regained my confidence and I even went on to open a couple of cafes in Barcelona, a dream I had always had! All of this whilst continuing to be a present and engaged mum!
My Coaching Journey
Those who know me well describe me as an extrovert, reliable, confident, loyal, compassionate, empathetic, fun, enthusiastic, passionate and a go-getter! Through the years, I’ve had people talking to me about their worries, asking me for advice and thanking me for helping them through a complicated moment.
Through all this, there was always an inner voice within me pushing me to do more with this strength and I finally decided to pursue coaching. Jay Shetty, Mel Robbins and Tony Robbins are amongst those I follow extensively and I took a leap of faith and joined the Jay Shetty Coaching Certification School. I was scared to give up my job, afraid of not having a regular income, not sure where it would take me but it turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made!
As Tony Robbin’s said “If you change nothing, nothing changes”. I strongly believe it’s all in your mind and you just need to control it and rewire your mindset in order to achieve anything and everything you want. Change your mindset, change your life!
My Purpose Today
I now feel like that last piece of the puzzle fell into place and I’m so excited to be able to help others to find their calling, their peace of mind and play a small part in making someone’s dream a reality! I can help with:
life coaching
relationship coaching
mindset and positivity coaching
confidence and self-esteem coaching
stress and anxiety management coaching
productivity coaching
Are you ready to go from shadow to strength?
From feeling stuck to feeling unstoppable?
Schedule a free discovery session with me today! It will be my honor to accompany you on the next step of your journey.

Why I Care - Because I’ve Been There Too and Gone Through My Journey from Shadow to Strength
I coach because I believe that everyone has the potential to control their lives through their mindset, choices and actions. However, sometimes you have difficulty finding the path, and it’s helpful to have someone guide you and walk with you.
I know too many women who lose themselves during their journey, be it because of becoming a wife and/or a mother, having to follow someone else’s dreams and passions or fulfilling the desires of their parents but not their own. They experience feeling stuck, confused, guilty, frustrated, resentful, insecure and lonely, and with each passing day they are further away from where they want to be.
I’ve been there, I’ve felt it and I want to help other women who are now going through this experience. I want to help women and to guide them to find their passion, their sense of clarity, their own path and to discover who they are today and where they want to get to. I want to provide my clients with a safe, non-judgmental space for them to feel free and express themselves honestly without the fear of being judged.
