About Me

Life doesn’t always go as planned. As a South Asian woman, choosing divorce meant stepping outside cultural expectations and facing fears I never imagined. But I knew I couldn’t stay in a life that no longer reflected who I was or where I wanted to go.

I first turned to God and my own inner guidance, which gave me strength and clarity. Nature then pulled me in, becoming a place of solace and renewal. Those were my paths to healing — yours may look different, and it’s my role to help you discover what can work for you.

Now, as a certified Life Coach specialising in divorce recovery, I support women from all backgrounds as they navigate the emotional and cultural complexities of starting over. My mission is to help you move not just on, but forward — with compassion, clarity, and the belief that you are whole and unique, just as you are.

Why “Tulip & Thorn”?

The name Tulip & Thorn was born from my own journey through divorce — a time that brought both deep pain and unexpected beauty.

Tulips are a symbol of grace, renewal, and new beginnings. They reminded me that even after the harshest seasons, something soft and beautiful can still emerge.

The thorn represents something just as important: the resilience we build in the face of hardship. The boundaries we create. The strength we never knew we had.

Healing is rarely just one thing — it’s often both.

Both beautiful and painful.

Both soft and sharp.

Both breakdown and breakthrough.

Tulip & Thorn reflects that truth — and it shapes the way I coach. I hold space for the full spectrum of your healing. I don’t rush you to “move on.” I help you move through — gently, honestly, and with the belief that you are allowed to hold both the tulip and the thorn within you.
