In addition to over 25 years of business and clinical knowledge and experience, I am a consultant and qualified coach.
I am the Vice-Chair of the Board of Directors at Healthwatch Bucks. I also work with the award winning development consultancy Health Service 360 as a trainer and consultant.
I moved to England as a young child from India in the 1970s. After gaining my first degree in Physiology, I returned to university to become a qualified optometrist.
When it was time to set up my own optometry business I put a lot of pressure on myself. With a toddler and another baby on the way I leapt head first. I felt confident that I had everything needed to build a successful clinician business.
But it didn’t work out like that. I struggled with management, workload, sleep deprivation and stress.

She helped me grow a healthy business with firm financial foundations.”

Within three years my business had outgrown its premises. We relocated and expanded, setting up a second practice. Due to huge demand, I was amongst the first optometrists in the UK to open on Sundays.
I made and learned from mistakes. I spent years working with mentors and scouring business books.
I learned business skills on the job whilst juggling clinical responsibilities to my customers. At the same time I was raising my young family, thanks to lots of wonderful support.
Other clinicians and business owners began approaching me for advice and training. How did I manage multiple responsibilities, mindset and family obligations? How did I stay sane and look after my wellbeing?
Looking back, I realised intention setting had played a vital role in my business success. I had a natural skill connecting practical action to big bold vision.
After I sold my two practices, I began focussing on the next stage of my career: consultant, coach and mentor.
My business continues to build due to positive word of mouth.
Wealth is not just about money, or your relationship to finances, although this is very important.
The world “wealth” is derived from the Middle English word “weal” which means wellbeing.
To build a successful business, you need to:

She takes no nonsense but delivers her message with gentleness and balance.”
