A trained HorseDream Licensed Partner and a member of the International Association of Horse Assisted Education – the largest worldwide community of horse assisted educators, I am Coach, Consultant and Facilitator at Nirsara. Born and brought up in Pune (India), I now live in London (UK). I left India to study abroad in 2002 and have ever since garnered a deep understanding of various cultures. This understanding, in combination with a strength-based approach anchored in positive psychology, has helped me create highly inclusive spaces for diverse individuals and teams across various sectors, especially corporate, to learn and develop.
