My Journey
Today, I celebrate life! I am not just surviving - I am thriving. But, it wasn't always like that. I am grateful for the gift of coaching. Coaching has helped me to shift my beliefs and perspectives, set and maintain healthy boundaries, take small steps towards the life that I want.
At the beginning of the pandemic I was 55 when I had to suddenly uproot my life in the U.S. of over 30 years and move to Europe due to a family emergency. It was very difficult and challenging for me. I barely spoke the language and didn't really know anyone. This brought back a lot of memories from my early childhood when my family moved from India to the Caribbean. Back then, at the age of 9, I didn't speak the language and was mocked and bullied at school for being different. I also had to deal with other ongoing traumas with almost no support since we lived a very isolated life. I felt increasingly lonely, became withdrawn, depressed and was filled with fear, anxiety and despair.
My parents did not understand my pain. They just wanted me to be well behaved, get good grades, become a doctor or an engineer and have an arranged marriage. I did none of those things. Then I left for the U.S. to go to University where I found some freedom and made some friends. I did well at University, but had very few social skills to navigate the world. To top it off, I married someone outside of the culture which came at the cost of losing a very close family member and being rejected by my in-laws.
Along the way, I picked up many different unhealthy ways of coping with life as I slid deeper into depression and despair. I lost myself and the will to live. When things got really bad I went into therapy, started practicing yoga and found an outlet through art. All of these helped in my healing process, especially the somatic work I did to address my trauma. But, I was still struggling with a feeling of emptiness and restlessness.
During the lockdown, I came across Reinvention Coaching and decided to give it a try. While being coached, something profound shifted in me that all the many years of therapy wasn’t able to do. I reconnected with myself, rediscovered who I truly am at my core.
Reinvention Coaching helped me to set and hold healthy boundaries, replace self judgement with self compassion, let go of perfectionism and find freedom in making mistakes. My life now is richer and more fulfilling than ever before. I am involved in many different activities and love bringing people together even with the language barrier. Making room for mistakes and having compassion has opened up a whole new way of engaging with myself and the world.
I know from personal experience how difficult, hopeless, scary and seemingly impossible life can get. And, I also know from personal experience how beautiful life can be. So, let me support and guide you as you create the life you want and experience things you never thought possible. Step into the next phase of your life with confidence and a lot of self-love.

Testimonials
"Coaching with Latha was great. Her calming presence helped me become more clear on my next steps and she was able to hold me accountable throughout the reinvention process. This allowed me to uncover limiting believes that were holding me back, granted me permission to set powerful boundaries and to develop supporting routines during and outside of the coaching sessions.
Latha listened carefully to everything I had to say and guided me with great care through my coaching experience. I strongly recommend her as a coach!" Michelle (Switzerland)
"Latha was a wonderful coach who, with kindness and compassion, challenged me to step outside of my comfort zone and set measurable and actionable goals for making real and consistent changes in my life. Working with Latha helped bring clarity to my vision for my life and address some of the hidden barriers standing in the way of my transformation. Her ability to help me re-frame past experiences, examine my assumptions about myself and others and identify new opportunities (and the steps I need to take to get there) make me excited for the future. I highly recommend working with Latha if you are looking for a thoughtful and perceptive coach who can meet you where you are in your journey and help you make genuine, meaningful change in your own life."
