I went in for my first session with Usha keeping an open mind and little expectation. I had heard about life coaching, but nothing prepared me for the change I was about to experience. Two very significant changes took place a few months apart -I had quit my job and secondly, I had lost someone dear to me. I did not realize how they were weighing me down, but I did feel stuck. A friend mentioned how a life coach can help with finding one’s purpose in life and bringing the focus back to where it needs to be. While looking for recommendations for a life coach, Usha’s name was suggested by quite a few people……and they were not wrong! Usha’s calm, unassuming, and grounded demeanor immediately put me at ease. It was during my sessions with Usha that I first felt the calmness that meditation can bring about. She was able to ground my energy and help me visualize the life I was seeking. Her fluidity when moving from emotional to practical issues and switching from coach to consultant gave her an edge. Being a great listener, Usha was able to pick up on the smallest of nuances in our sessions – Within the first half-hour of our session, she was able to tell me where my heart lies and subsequently offer insight about blocks that might be keeping me from achieving my goals. Through the clarity of her approach and asking the right questions, she was able to decode the root cause of why I was feeling stuck and offer me a framework of ideas that could assist in chalking out a routine for myself. She also gave me full freedom to express myself and complete autonomy of how I would use the knowledge/insight that I gained from her. She kept me accountable and motivated to stick to the routine we planned (something I had failed to do earlier).
My sessions with Usha have made me a more positive and confident person. This positivity has also helped me become more accepting of change. Most importantly I have been able to continue the routine that Usha and I made which has further benefitted me in leading a healthy lifestyle.
I cannot recommend her highly enough because she has an everlasting positive impact on one’s life.
