Leena, you've impacted thousands across the globe-what initially inspired your foray into transformational life coaching and wellness?

I was drawn to this path out of a deep need to make sense of my own inner chaos. I faced many challenges early in life, often feeling overwhelmed and unsure of my direction. In seeking healing, I discovered that transformation comes from within. That's when I realised my purpose was to help others reconnect with their own essence—guiding them to live with confidence, joy and alignment. “True transformation is not about becoming someone new-it's about returning to who you truly are,” she reflected.
