Am I successful enough? Why do I feel so behind? Why am I overwhelmed all day? Why do I get mad so easily? Why don't I feel good enough? What's wrong with me?

You're desi, this is a regular Tuesday. But the daily impact of this is getting in the way of your happiness, your relationships, your success and your life.

Imagine This

You wake up three months from now and you smile.  You're at peace.  Your mind is quiet. You know yourself, what you need and what matters most. 

You sip your coffee while you read your texts and emails.  Your heartbeat even, your stomach settled, your thoughts still.  

You've stopped being tossed around like a rag doll between all of the expectations of the people you love.    

Your Indian values and morals guide you but they are no longer your jailer.  

You feel free to do what you want.  The only approval you need is your own and it feels f*cking fantastic. 


Would you rather....

  • Get generic advice that only works for gorey OR content that normalizes living with your parents at 34 years old or having to deal with family drama?

  • Have someone tell you to bE GraTeFuL OR learn do-able solutions to never feeling good enough, overwhelm, anxiety and guilt for not doing it all?

  • Waste your precious time looking through Reddit posts that just don't hit the mark or are you craving therapist-backed guidance that also respects your culture?

  • Suffer in silence because #stigma or build your mental strength at your own pace all while costing less than 1/10th of a therapy session?

Your Guide

Welcome to Balanced Self Academy! That's me in 2022 in that picture, ready to embark on a journey of entrepreneurship and I was scared shitless!

I didn't think that I was good enough; smart enough; well-spoken enough to find clients and help them. The self doubt was rampant, the anxiety high. And yet, I kept going.

Since then, I have helped over 200 South Asian clients live life on their own terms. We have worked on perfectionism, anxiety, parental expectations, guilt, feeling behind, confidence and so much more.

And, I desperately want to help more of our community. Through this, I founded Balanced Self Academy. A hub to build our mental resilience so that we can be the badasses that we were born to be.

You know, I've been where you are. Trying to find answers, trying to navigate the Western world we live in and the Indian values we go home to. It feels like a tug of war and we're the ones that are being ripped apart.

I've learned so much in my 46 years on this planet; as a woman, a wife, a mother, a third daughter, a therapist and I think it's time I passed some of that wisdom onto the next generation.

I'm thrilled that you are here. Let's break cycles together!
