About The Founder - Varshini
Varshini - Awareness & Empowerment Coach | Podcast Host | Retreat Facilitator | Workshop & Seminar Trainer/Guide | Hatha Yoga Teacher | Founder of Soulful Shining | Former Litigator/Lawyer
A former lawyer and anxiety-holic, I am now an Awareness Coach for women. Born and raised in Singapore (a collectivistic culture), I have grappled with finding my authenticity, perfectionism, making my own decisions, trusting myself, addiction, suicidal thoughts, extreme anxiety, depression and shame around my body, sex and relationships.
I was 24 when I made my first major life decision, 26 when I knew what I felt was anxiety, 29 when I wore my first bikini and 30 when I finally trusted and met my inner voice. My personal growth journey has been filled with highs and lows, shades of love, anger, confusion, happiness and grief. But it’s brought me to exactly where I need to be. With the help of science, psychology, yoga, breathework, community, action, release of my past and inner child work, nature & meditation, I’ve found reconnection within. I now travel, constantly push my comfort zones, run Soulful Shining, volunteer, and live the life even my dreams couldn’t fathom.
Importantly, I now hold space for other women to provide them a circle of trust to understand their past patterns, core beliefs and release them through breathing techniques, inner child parenting, compassionate injury, yoga, emotional agility, nature and so much more! With the key of it all being helping women build Awareness so they become their own coaches through their healing journey.
Experiencing dullness, anxiety, or fear was, in essence, being aware of my experiences. The more I developed awareness, the more I realized it was the starting point for personal growth. Awareness enabled me to face life exactly as it is.This realization marked a complete shift in my healing journey. The magic was in cultivating awareness, not striving for perfect self-love, peace, or the absence of negative emotions. Life isn't a fairy tale; our lower moments teach us valuable lessons. None of us would be where we are without our failures and low points.
