ABOUT
Hello!
I’m Pooja पूजा.
It’s nice to meet you.
I’m a Harvard and Stanford graduate, daughter of immigrants, classically trained clarinetist and pianist, biology nerd, music lover, painter, poet, cheese lover, wifey, wild dancer & tree hugger.
Oh yeah…and I am a life coach.
As a kid, I knew the traditional 9-5/rat race life wasn’t for me, but I didn’t know what WAS for me. I had no examples in my own life of anyone I wanted to “be like” and so I read about amazing people like Nelson Mandela and Maya Angelou in books.
It took me some time to get the courage to do what I really love and be who I really am (which is a constant exploration & expression)!
Now, it’s my greatest passion to support you to heal, step into your natural gifts and pursue what truly lights you up. It makes me so happy when you’re in love with your life, your relationships, your career, how you spend your time - and ultimately, your authentic, raw, juicy self.
Happy, whole, healed people help make a happier, healthier, more healed world.
Tell me about yourself if you’d like via my contact page. I’d love to hear from you!!!

I can't recommend Pooja enough. Their care, sensitivity, and authentic presence in the space encouraged me to be the most genuine version of myself.

Meeting with Pooja was such beautiful experience, especially for someone who isn’t the most comfortable with one on one coaching like myself. Pooja made me feel very comfortable when sharing with her, which allowed me to settle my nerves and open up very quickly. She was so attentive, offering me wonderful suggestions on things that she felt could help me based off of what she heard from me. She was very aware and extremely knowledgeable in the suggestions she gave, and was extremely satisfied with her services. I have already recommended her to some of my friends.

Pooja coached me through spiritual, emotional, and relational challenges. I was taught to accept my condition as is, how to change, and how to cultivate an inner-dialogue that is compassionate and empowering. I'm continuing my journey with Coach Pooja and I highly recommend her to anyone (men and women) who want to improve their life.
