    What my clients have to say…



    “The framework Pooja taught me is so powerful.



    I still use it to this day. I'll just open up a Google Doc and I'll go through: old thought, new thought, how it makes me feel.



    And it's just such a logical way of looking at things.”

    What my clients have to say…



    “Pooja always has suggestions and ideas, which is fantastic. But she doesn’t tell you, ‘You should go do this.’ And that’s a good thing because she teaches you how to make these decisions for yourself and feel confident about it.”

    What my clients have to say…



    “Overall, through our coaching, I've learned to change my perspective on the way that I see things.



    Before, I felt very stuck in my head, and I had a hard time seeing things a different way. That previous headspace was very much like, ‘I'm the problem, there's something wrong with me.’



    And the framework Pooja taught me helped me see things in a more positive or at least neutral light and then troubleshoot from there.”

    “The impacts have been huge. I started feeling more confident and self-assured at work. And that gave me the emotional bandwidth to start building better habits too.
