The Sandalwood Coaching Experience
A high-touch, warm, and supportive space where you’ll find the courage and strength to extract your true potential.
I know that you’re a gifted, driven, passionate, and purposeful leader.
You have a track record of success and the money to show for it…
… But you’re still feeling unfulfilled in spite of having that envious “won the lottery” job
If I was to guess, I reckon that you might be…
-
You’ve been stressed out consistently — whether it’s employee retention or breaking through your next ceiling. You know something’s missing from your toolkit.
-
You keep launching products you don't believe in to remain competitive in the market. But we both know that it's not sustainable — and it’s getting tougher to stay motivated.
-
You may be the youngest among your peers, and your life looks a *lot* different. Daycare germs don’t exactly follow the product portfolio schedule, do they?
-
You don't feel great about your body, and exercising feels like a chore to maintain a certain image. It’s been a long time since you loved yourself just as you are.
-
Journaling? Meditation? Yoga? Yep, you’ve tried them all. And no matter what, stress gets in the way regardless. It has to be easier than this.
-
When we’re stressed out, we tend to do even more — like mentoring and picking up extra work. And those anxiety attacks? They really, really suck. Deep down, you know it’s time to get to the root of them.
I hear you! Being a leader isn’t a walk in the park where you actually have time to smell the roses (or hug sandalwood trees, like I do).
But being a conscious leader is *actually* meant to feel… Effortless.
It’s meant to feel like you CAN access that feeling of presence and awareness of every little thing around you, *without* getting overwhelmed.
When we collaborate, our collective goal is to help YOU create meaningful change in the most impactful way, *without* continuing down the path of hustle culture.
You’ll emerge as the fulfilled, energized, and creative leader you want to be — without compromising your boundaries, your personal health, or your relationships.
In fact, we’ll nurture ALL those elements in your life.
If any of your goals include:
Strengthening relationships with your teams and clients
+
Understanding your value and how to communicate it
+
Gaining clarity on your purpose, direction, and how to achieve goals
+
Cultivating greater joy, creativity, and fulfillment in your life
+
Extending your impact and influence on your community (and the world)
+
Then you’re in the right place.

Discover true fulfillment.
“Nisha understood the challenges I faced in my work life since she is an excellent engineer herself, which also helped with the coaching being practical and actionable. She’s great at helping you find what makes you fulfilled, and she draws so much from her own high performance/excellence in her corporate life. Fulfillment doesn't have to come from yoga retreats, and Nisha will help you discover being fulfilled no matter what you do with a few adjustments.”
— Karthik Lakshmi, Ex-Apple HW Leader, Proud Full Time Dad, Music Student

Honest. Radically compassionate. Deeply intuitive.
“As a coach myself, it felt amazing to just show up and be present to the process. Whatever would come up, just would, and that's fine. Nisha balances the experience of laughs, tears, and reflection throughout a session really well. I knew I could always arrive as I was and trust the process without judging myself or my reactions.
She helped me identify clear indicators of when my intuition was kicking in and guiding me. This helped me allow myself to connect more deeply and thus make progress within my relationship.
If you are seeking a coach who is honest, radically compassionate, attentive, and deeply intuitive, look no further. Nisha is a gifted coach who creates space for you to show up as you are. She introduces you to constructive ways to expand your mind, body, & spirit and take on new lenses through which to see yourself and your world.”

The Sandalwood Coaching Experience
Introducing…
A series of private, high-touch conscious leadership coaching sessions over six to nine months.
→ Private Coaching
We’ll meet weekly (or bi-weekly) for 60-minute Conscious Leadership Coaching sessions, over six to nine months together.
→ Access To The Energy Leadership Index™ (ELI)
This isn’t a Myers-Briggs situation! Most personality tests help you work to your full potential leveraging your strengths.
The ELI, on the other hand, is an attitudinal assessment tool that captures how you currently perceive and approach work and life! You’ll receive access from me to complete this assessment at the start of our work together.
As an ELI Master Practitioner, I'll guide you through your debrief which will help us figure out what we’re working on and give you some research-backed data about our approach to your coaching moving forward.
→ Customized Stress Management Training
The #1 thing I hear from leaders is that they need peace of mind — and my secret sauce is developing customized stress management tools to meet you where you’re at. Whether it’s a personalized breathwork exercise or yoga practice, the wellness-trained nerd in me will simplify proven and time-tested ancient mindfulness practices for you throughout our experience.

She sees the BEST of you.
“Nisha will quickly get to the core of who you are, what motivates you, and what you are feeling, and then create the space for you to make conscious choices with what to do with that. She will support you every step of the way, letting you know that she's on your side and sees the best of you while challenging you to be the best version of yourself.”
— Shawna Sharie, Executive Coach & Retail Advisor

Compassionate. Patient. Practical.
“I feel like I have a new set of tools to help me physically, emotionally, and psychologically. The work Nisha does is inherently empathetic, and she brings to it a wonderful balance of compassion and patience mixed with a practical understanding of the realities of a busy life.”
— Laura Hart Newlon, Associate Professor of Art, Co-Director/Curator
P.S. I know we’re just getting started — but can I pull together a quick vision board for you?
Here’s what’s really possible with conscious leadership coaching…
(These are all REAL results I’ve seen from my clients, by the way!)
↓↓↓
You are fulfilled with what you do at the moment… And that focus helps you create the life you desire.
You focus on learning from any situation, without judging it as good or bad.
You are intuitive and empathetic and have the ability to feel and connect without judgment.
You inspire others by being your true self. You no longer feel the need to do the extra work to maintain an image that is required to meet the insatiable expectations and demands of others.
You’re able to respond to life situations mindfully, no longer taking things personally or feeling reactionary.
Being an inclusive leader doesn’t feel like work anymore. You aren’t afraid to be vulnerable and learn from every interaction.
You are able to get creative and see opportunities and purpose in every situation.
You are able to confidently set healthy boundaries to nurture yourself, by taking that sabbatical or vacation you always wanted to take.
You have the ability to connect with your *inner genius* that creates life experiences that bring you joy.
Yes, I see the vision!
Wondering if the Sandalwood Experience is for you?
If any of these priorities are top of mind for you, the answer is yes!
Energy, patience, and compassion for everything and everyone in your life
Confidence by courageously being who you truly are
A growth mindset that helps you get unstuck when overwhelmed
Mindful communication skills — so you can build better relationships both at work and home

Now, I breathe easier in more ways than one.
“Nisha worked with me on all aspects of my life. Physical health, mental health, finances, career, social, relationships, and home life. I really loved how in-depth she was willing to go and her advice was spot on! She always could pick up instances when I was struggling or questioning myself. She encouraged me in the right way to make me realize that it all had to be me and my choices. I controlled my life and I needed to care about myself and put myself first more.
The six months I had Nisha's help was life-changing for me. Her techniques work every time to calm me and re-center me. That alone made the entire thing worth it! I have more self-confidence now, and I truly feel love for myself in ways I never had before, and because of that, not only do I benefit, but others in my life have benefited. Thank you, Nisha, for your support and the true care you gave me. I breathe easier in more ways than one, and I will forever be grateful for that.”

I have a new way of dealing with people at work.
“I’m managing work relationships and stress so much better. Nisha is to the point and easy to communicate with — and I should have reached out earlier. She gave me a new and robust way of dealing with people at work. She’s helpful even for the people who think they can’t progress any further!”
— Atif Malik, Senior Manager, Online Retail Industry
A final note on why sandalwood is my tree of choice here…
If any memory helps me get present instantly, it’s stepping into a temple in India with the scent of their sandalwood incense wafting through the air, a slow burn over many hours drifting over the unpolished granite. It takes its time, and the impact lingers. (That’s probably why temples have been using them for hundreds of years!)
Sandalwood is not only grounding; it’s highly valued. It can take years to reach a state where it’s ready to harvest; and when it does, everybody wants a piece of it.
Just like you. You’ve got *so* much to offer, and it’s at risk of being depleted if you aren’t channeling your energy the way you want.
Inside this experience, I’ll hold that warming space for you to take your time, claim that value, keep you grounded and build that inner strength and joy.
Are you ready?

Nisha changed my life in ways I never thought possible.
“I never knew that coaching could be so powerful until I worked with Nisha. During our first session together, we figured out that I needed to work on managing stress at work and overcommitting to friends and family.
My boss would ask me to work late hours, which I would always agree to because, to me, that was normal. I would also overcommit to friends since I wanted to see everyone and didn’t know how to say NO without feeling guilty about not making time for them. Throughout our sessions, Nisha taught me the importance of self-love and that it is completely normal to say no. I was surprised to find out that once I explained to my boss and friends that I needed to take care of myself and couldn’t add more than I could handle to my plate, they became more respectful of my time!
Nisha also helped me phrase my sentences in a way that avoided conflict at work, with family and friends, which certainly made each encounter with them more pleasant. She also included a special meditation plan that was tailored to my needs. My plan included learning to be present in each moment, which is much harder than it seems. She explained that meditation truly works if you commit to it. She gave me meditation homework after each session which would evolve into a more intense sitting each week.
With time, I noticed that my daily stresses became minimal, and I felt a freedom in my mind that I did not know was possible. Today, I feel more present in my life, and my encounters with people are much more meaningful. I also take at least a half day to take care of myself, which often includes a new adventure such as learning a new language, going for a hike, or drifting away into a beautiful world through a novel.
Nisha changed my life in ways that I never imagined possible. Her time and dedication have taught me to be loving toward myself and thankful for the gift of each new day.”
