About Usha
I empower people to break old patterns and live and lead with radical balance, clarity and joy.
The method
My Approach
Here's what actually happens when we work together.
I start by finding out how you're built
I use Identi3, a personality profiling tool backed by over 40 years of research, to map your natural strengths and how you respond under pressure. What tips you into Overdrive or Stuckness is particular to you, and two people who look equally stressed can be running on completely different programmes.
Then we go after the old patterns and emotions
Most people are carrying rules they picked up in childhood. “Rest must be earned.” “I must prove myself.” “I am not good enough.” These made sense at the time, and they have been running your life ever since with negative emotions attached. We absorb them from family and culture before we're old enough to question them. They sit deep, but they can be reached. Using NLP and Time Line Therapy®, we interrupt the reactions you have practised for years, reframe them with positive learnings, and give you new strategies.
We work with language
Language does not just describe your reality, it often determines it. With a few precise language techniques, you can be so intentional about language and use it to influence your thoughts, emotions and actions.
And from the get go, you learn to listen to your body
You learn to tune into your body slowly, since that's where safety gets learned. I'm trained as a yoga instructor and mindfulness facilitator, so I teach short somatic exercises, meditative practices and breathwork to notice what your body is doing and listen to it better. It takes a few minutes a day, not an hour on a mat. Let your system find out what balance feels like.
So that's the general picture. Your life will have its own mix: your wiring, your rules, the way your body braces. In 30 minutes we can start looking at the patterns that show up most for you, and what a first step could be.

What I Believe
I believe everyone holds the inner power to living a full, balanced and meaningful life.
When we find that balance within, we stop searching for peace and we become it.
Radical Balance isn't just the goal. It's the foundation of love, creativity, confidence, and connection.
Experience
Background
Training & Speaking
Since 2004 I have trained people from many countries, in a variety of contexts: universities, schools, businesses, conferences and volunteer organisations. I was a lecturer in Events Management at the Institute of Technical Education in Singapore. In Australia, I was a trainer in the Australian College of Applied Education for students doing their diploma in hospitality. Since school, I was used to being an emcee at school events and was in the debate club. This carried on even in my career in the events management industry where I have emceed numerous events from weddings, pageants, corporate events and more.
Mindfulness
My interest in Mindfulness and related practices goes back nearly 20 years. I've studied and practiced widely in both eastern and western views on the topic, particularly how it relates to emotional intelligence. As a certified life coach, educator and trainer, I have trained hundreds of people in my career. I have organised and run countless self-empowerment programs both professionally and voluntarily for diverse audiences and have always included mindfulness as a key component. Recently, to further my learning in mindful movement, I became certified as a yoga instructor.
Emotional Intelligence
This is an area I work in constantly, though the tools I use come from elsewhere: NLP, Time Line Therapy® and mindfulness all give practical ways to understand emotions and work with them. My formal certifications are as a Certified Master Life Coach, Certified Behavioural Consultant, Entrepreneurs Mindset Profiling practitioner, NLP Master Practitioner and Certified Train the Trainer of NLP. I have organised and attended countless workshops, retreats, seminars and personal development courses relating to emotional intelligence. Informally, I have been an avid volunteer for over 22 years and have worked extensively with Non-Profit-Organisations in Australia and regionally on various community projects in relation to mental health and emotional well-being.
