What's your business, and who are your customers?

I'm a Yoga Coach and Medical Intuitive. Learn the yogi way to stay naturally high in life. Live successfully by operating from your highest vibrational energy at all times. Our key practices are breath-work, physical yoga, chakra meditation, medical intuition, and intuitive counseling.

Move beyond physical wellness and into total life success. In your career, finances, relationships, spirituality, physical and mental health operate from higher vibrational energy. I work with professionals, business owners, high-profile clients, and high performers.

Tell us about yourself

I began as an actress, pursuing film roles in Bollywood and Hollywood. This led to my spiritual calling; it fell in my lap while in India pursuing acting gigs. I share all the wild stories in my book, A Modern Yogi – a different kinda memoir. Amazon link https://amzn.to/2x0Mkf0

I took on the challenge of helping others find their inner yogi. I moved from entertainment to enlightenment. I believe that "We can all be A.M.Y" A Modern Yogi. I love coaching people to live the good life!

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

I've been able to maintain this work for 15+ years and also maintain my own well-being. Some of my clients have been with me since the beginning. I've learned and grown a lot, from shooting videos to marketing strategies.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

Discipline. You have to be on, ready, and focused all the time. You cannot let the low periods get you down.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. Be fully present in it.
  2. Keep learning what's new in your field and be up to date on tech skills.
  3. Don't focus on the money part; focus on how you help others.

Is there anything else you'd like to share?

Don't fear to start, run, and grow a business; remember, you know more than the person coming to you.
