      Hi, I'm Ritu

      "You've always had the power my dear, you just had to learn it for yourself." - The Wizard of Oz

      My role as a coach is to accompany and guide people through the often-uncertain process of change and transformation. Exploring your ways to find the right star and direction for yourself , empowering yourself and discovering the new Vibrant You !!

      A transformational approach involves a shift in focus to a way being that honors who you are at your core and creates space to grow into who you're meant to become. This deep level of change that happens on the inside often leads to a shift in your outer world of health, relationships, and sense of purpose.

      It is ultimately a journey of coming home to yourself.
