Know Your Coach The Story Behind the Work
I help people in transition find meaning
in their suffering — and cross into
the life they were always meant to live.
Before I could build this work,
I had to live through everything it addresses.
My own healing became my methodology. My suffering became my compass. And now it is in service of yours.
Nine moments that
shaped the work.
Open any chapter to read more of the story.
Childhood A child the world didn't quite have a container for. + More
I was shy. Deeply sensitive. Deeply empathic in a way that made the world feel louder and heavier than it seemed to for everyone else. I felt things I didn't have words for. I absorbed other people's pain without knowing what to do with it.
It was not a weakness. I just didn't know yet that it was the seed of everything that would follow.
First Turning Point Months in darkness — and the first real question. + More
A severe injury left me immobilized for months. No school. No friends. No forward motion. In that stillness, I had my first real confrontation with suffering — not as an inconvenience to manage, but as something that was asking me a question.
For the first time in my life, with real urgency — why does it have to hurt this much?
I didn't have an answer then. But the question itself changed me.
Early Adulthood Losses that split me open. + More
There were other losses. A heartbreak so complete it felt like it divided my life into before and after. Grief that arrived without warning. Each one taught me something the next lesson could not have reached.
I now understand that every loss was a curriculum. At the time, they just felt like devastation.
The Achievement Years The answer I found — and why it failed. + More
Like many people who grow up carrying pain they cannot explain, I found a rational solution: achieve more. I made it into a prestigious engineering program. The emptiness continued.
The degrees, the discipline, the doing — none of it touched what was underneath. I was achieving everything I was supposed to, and feeling none of what I had been promised.
The Pivot The moment I stopped and turned around. + More
There was a moment when I understood that no further achievement would reach what I was trying to reach. The answer was in a completely different direction. Not harder. Not smarter. Deeper.
The bravest thing I ever did was stop doing what was working on the outside and start paying attention to what was failing on the inside.
I set aside everything I had built — and walked into a monastery.
Five Years · India Learning from masters what no classroom could have taught. + More
Five years in the monasteries of India, living and studying directly under masters who had spent entire lifetimes with these teachings. Not reading about Vedanta, Yoga, and Jyotish — living inside them.
What I absorbed in those years was not a framework. It was a way of seeing — one that has never left me.
Five Years · United States Building the bridge between ancient and modern. + More
Five more years in a monastery in the United States — doing the work of translation. Taking what I had absorbed about the Eastern map of the human soul, and meeting it with modern psychology, neuroscience, and transformation.
The bridge I was building was not theoretical. It was forged out of ten years of living at the intersection of these two worlds.
Training & Certification Language for what I already knew in my bones. + More
Finding Dr. David Wolf — a spiritual psychologist working precisely at the intersection I had spent my entire adult life building toward — felt like recognition, not discovery.
Training under him gave me precise clinical language for what I had always known experientially. I earned my ICF ACC certification through his school. What I gained was not knowledge. It was craft.
Now · Karuna Coaching A life's work, ready for yours. + More
I built Karuna Coaching for the people I recognize — the ones who have already done a lot of work and are still carrying something that none of those tools have reached. I built it because I was one of them.
The suffering you've been carrying is not the problem. It is the material. And I know what to do with it.
Three formations.
One living practice.
Five Years in Indian Monasteries
Direct study of Vedanta, classical Yoga, and Jyotish under master teachers in India. Not studied from books. Lived from the inside — as practice, as discipline, as a way of being.
Five Years in a US Monastery
A second formation — translating the depth of the Eastern tradition into contact with modern psychology and neuroscience. The decade in monasteries is not background. It is the work itself, made transmissible.
Two traditions.
One living synthesis.
Most coaching draws from one tradition. This work draws from two — and the integration is the product of ten years of practice at the intersection.

The convictions I bring
into every session.
Suffering is not the enemy — it is the curriculum.
Insight is not transformation. Understanding is the beginning, not the destination.
Presence before solutions. Every time.
You are not broken. You are unfinished.
Forgiveness is not for them. It is for you.
The further you go within, the further you go in life.
Now you know
who is in the room
with you.
One conversation is all it takes to know
whether this is the work you've been looking for.
