The Full Story

For most of my life, I was made to feel like I didn't measure up - fat shamed, judged, and told who I should be instead of who I was. So I started coaching myself. What began as a search for a way to be lose weight turned into something much bigger: a complete shift in how I saw myself. ​ That mindset shift changed everything. I learned that real, lasting change doesn't start with willpower - it starts with believing you're capable of it in the first place. Once I experienced that for myself, I knew I wanted to help others find their way back to that same belief in themselves. ​ That's where the name Saaya comes from. Saaya means "shadow" or "support" in Hindi - and that's exactly what coaching with me looks like. Your shadow doesn't lead you and it doesn't fix you. It's simply always there, moving with you, present no matter what. That's the kind of coach I want to be for you: not someone standing in front giving orders, but someone steady beside you, supporting you as you find your own way back to yourself. ​ Every program I build is individualized - because your goals, your body, and your "why" are yours alone. A lot of the time, when we chase a goal, it's because we think we should - because of what we've been told is right for us. My job is to help you reframe that. To find the reason a goal matters to you, and to build real belief that you can get there. Once that shift happens, the goal starts to stick. ​ I'm a Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and Hormone Health Specialist through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN), a Reiki Level I & II practitioner. If any of this resonates with you - if you're ready to stop should-ing yourself and start believing in what you're capable of- I'd love to work with you.​ ​
