About Richa
I am an ICF certified coach working one-on-one with individuals wanting to live a fulfilling life in alignment with their authentic selves. I find meaning in supporting my clients create desired change in their personal or work lives.
In addition to individual coaching, I work with teams, guiding them toward their goals and addressing collaboration and synergy challenges. I deploy diverse coaching modalities and leverage on assessments such as Extended DISC to foster an in-depth understanding of individual work styles and their collective impact on team synergy. Drawing on my expertise as a Design Thinking facilitator, I cultivate an environment that encourages cooperation and open exploration, bringing teams closer to their objectives.
I am proud to be a certified Designing Your Life (DYL) coach, a program developed at the Stanford Design Lab. Throughout the year, I host DYL group coaching modules, fostering radical collaboration, curiosity, and exploration of possibilities among participants, moving them closer to the life they truly desire.

My Approach
As a coach I hold a judgement free and safe space for my clients supporting them to explore their innermost aspirations as well as fears that stop them. As we progress through sessions, I encourage my clients to tap into the wisdom of their own bodies and emotions, fostering a deeper understanding of themselves.
My central focus is guiding clients to redirect their attention inward, rather than attributing issues to external factors. I help them explore their true desires and what they are willing to let go of. By fostering self-awareness and harnessing emotional intelligence, my clients find the clarity to make conscious choices, taking bold action, and progressing toward their chosen path.
The essence of this approach lies in understanding that meaningful change emerges from within. It thrives on conscious decision-making and is not contingent on external factors alone. It’s about nurturing the mind-body-heart-spirit connection, fostering a life of alignment and authenticity.
My Journey
My journey into coaching has been shaped by a series of personal and professional transformations. Through these experiences, I’ve learned that authenticity blossoms when we align our actions with our inner selves. I’ve also discovered that embracing all facets of life and taking ownership of our choices is the path to true contentment.
This journey hasn’t always been easy for me, but during challenging times, I strive to be consciously present. My go-to practices that I lean on include breathwork, yoga, and mindfulness. I find my creative outlet for self-expression through photography, writing, and movement.
I’ve navigated diverse career transitions, moving from being a successful business owner to a corporate leader and board member, to now being a solopreneur. My journey has taken me to live in India, Europe, and currently the Middle East. Throughout these phases, embracing different roles and immersing myself in various cultures has reinforced my belief that our shared human experiences outweigh our differences.
My current practice is to maintain a curious perspective, allowing me to cultivate empathy and compassion, both for myself and the world around me.
