Aditi Bhalla
Even though I was a specialist dentist living in the UK and my life seemed like I had everything I wanted, I felt stuck, lonely and overwhelmed. The pressures of trying to be a perfect daughter, perfect wife, and perfect dentist, living a perfect life, got me feeling lonelier and filled with anxiety. It fuelled my self-doubt and self- criticism every day. It left me feeling broken and empty and I felt like I couldn’t get anything right.
Struggling with migraines and de-quervains tenosynovitis in both my wrists made my worries stronger. I was overwhelmed and burnout was inevitable. I knew I deserved more from a career and life I studied long and hard for. I knew there was more out there. I know from my own experience that by cultivating compassion and working on navigating my unique challenges, everything around me changed.
As an avid learner and in a search for tools that could help me, I embarked on a training as a life coach, hypnotherapist, yoga & Qigong teacher and integrative psychotherapist (more on my qualification in the FAQ’s).
Through a journey of self-healing and many years of extensive scientific and spiritual training and self-development, I have embodied the many powerful skills that I'm here to share with you. And so I say that I am scientifically trained but spiritually led in my way of work and life.
So here is my journey!
My superpower is creating a compassionate space where dentists can silence their inner critic, overcome perfectionism, and build the resilience they need to thrive in their careers and lives.
Morning affirmations, yoga, cuddles with my adorable son and dog + sexy husband, coffee + toast, and good skincare.
Creating beautiful smiles,
talking about compassion, making dinner, walking with my dog and son, painting.
Beating around the bush, perfectionism, gossip, complaining and cold food, unless it's ice cream ;).
Straight talk, showing kindness, short emails, focus, and cutting out the 'meh' to make room for the very best.
