Who I am and the tools I use as a Sleep Coach.

I was born in and I grew up in Mumbai, India.

 My love for chaos and my can do attitude stayed with me as I accepted a business school scholarship at HEC Paris and made a new home for myself in Paris.

My early career experience working with startups, large corporations, and governments equips me to tackle the challenges encountered by professionals in high-pressure settings.

How do I approach sleep coaching?

Tools that have helped my clients fall asleep, stay asleep and manage their energy levels during the day:

  • The first step in restoring sleep is to reconnect with your body’s natural sleep wake cycle and to make it your ally.

    Ayurveda is an ancient holistic healing system that originated in India over 3,000 years ago. It gives us an easy understanding of:

    • How our body is designed to behave over a 24 hour period.

    • How gut health, diet and lifestyle support restorative sleep. 

    2017 Nobel prize winner in Medicine Jeffrey C and his peers validated Ayurvedic wisdom and my clients are living examples of how it remains relevant to our modern lives.

  • CBT-I (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Insomnia) is about training your body and mind to associate your bed with sleep, not with tossing and turning.

    "I'll never get to sleep", "I'll be a wreck tomorrow…"

    We challenge, unlearn and reframe the thoughts that keep you up at night. Because these thoughts become self-fulfilling prophecies.

  • If I am tired I will sleep - True or False?
    True, BUT…

    Being tired alone will not help you rest if your brain is on a high alert.

    Your brain on high alert = high levels of cortisol = interrupted sleep.

    High cortisol levels disrupt sleep, just as disrupted sleep leads to a cortisol spike. See the vicious circle?

    A consistent practice of Yogic Breathwork and restorative postures is effective in bringing down your cortisol levels, thus improving the quality of your sleep.

  • This is better than a power nap! 

    Yoga Nidra is a state of relaxation bordering between sleep and awakeness. In this state of deep rest, your body begins to heal from fatigue and regain energy.

    When done right, just 20 minutes of Yoga Nidra equal a full cycle of sleep. This makes Yoga Nidra my clients’ favourite recovery strategy.  

    In a state of relaxation you are receptive to new suggestions and we rewire the narrative that is keeping your brain on high alert. Thus accelerating your recovery from insomnia.  

    Neuroscience recognises this phenomenon as neuroplasticity—our ability to transform the brain, to create new beliefs and habits. Yoga Nidra is a powerful tool in managing stress, anxiety, depression, and is used by the American army to treat Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in veterans.
