Work with Nethra

I help you build an inner compass to craft a life that expresses who you are.

Areas I Support

I believe in possibility.

I coach for congruence and authenticity.

My work has shown me that each of us has a powerful capacity to actualize a life that expresses our unique gifts. When we tune into our deepest sources of meaning and give ourselves permission to honor our needs, we can build lives that are aligned with who we are.

In our work together, I will help you discover what you most want to create but may have felt blocked from realizing. I will guide you in learning to listen more deeply to yourself, uncovering your longings, needs, and deferred dreams. Through this process, you can cultivate an inner compass to navigate life in a self-directed way, rather than following a path determined by societal scripts, intergenerational patterns, and limiting beliefs.

My coaching supports the falling away of the deep-seated patterns that keep people trapped in alienating lives. Together, we will work to release ways of thinking and acting that have held you back. This opens the door to new ways of navigating life that are grounded in self-trust. Over time, this work deepens your capacity to build what you want through experimentation, improvisation, and deep listening. Through this process, I will guide you to orient toward what matters most to you, so you can craft a life that expresses who you are.

Testimonials

  • “Nethra offers ideas that uplift me, inside and out. I’ve been getting coaching from her for 4 years, and I keep coming back for more.  

    I first came to her when I was in a relationship where I felt devalued. Her coaching helped me reconnect with my self-worth, and take steps to leave. Since then I’ve been getting her support with a career transition. After a layoff, I had inklings about changing my career, but felt scared to start over from scratch. Nethra suggested low-risk experiments. I was still apprehensive, but her take on them empowered me to try. So I volunteered for a leadership role. I asked for informational interviews. I reached out to new organizations for work. Whether I felt hopeful or rejected by the results, I was able to turn to Nethra. Her genuine interest in my journey helped me cultivate self-compassion. And together, we brainstormed where to go next. 

    Over many months, one opportunity has blossomed into more than I could have predicted. I’ve learned new professional skills, received informal mentorship, and have been invited to lead more programs. And most of all, I have found community. Seeing that others believe in me, a path toward a new career feels increasingly possible. And I know the way: with small, slightly scary experiments. Those were the ones that I used to earmark for bolder personalities. But with Nethra’s coaching, I am doing them, too.”

  • “I found Nethra when I wanted to leave my job. She helped me identify what I wanted from my relationship with my work, what I needed in my next role, and supported me throughout the interview process. That said, our sessions not only helped me navigate the job search, I often brought up questions and concerns about my personal life. Nethra helped me understand my feelings and communicate my fears; I felt seen and heard in all of our sessions.”

    “I have grown so much with Nethra, and I highly recommend working with her.”

    — Nichelle

  • “Nethra helped me write through trauma and to return to the creative part of it at a moment in my life where I was feeling very stuck.

    Beyond writing, working with Nethra showed me what listening could look like. Being exposed to this kind of empathetic and attentive listening has been eye-opening, it is something that I aspire to myself, and feel more confident in asking from others."

    — Katyayani

  • “Nethra is skilled at zeroing in on what requires a magnifying lens. This helps me to see what I cannot. Sometimes there are tears. Sometimes I think, “Oh my gosh, I wish I had known that earlier!” By the end of the session, I have a new outlook on how to give empathy to myself…”

    “It’s been transformative.”

    — Geanie

  • “Nethra’s coaching played a major role in helping me get my podcast launched. In each coaching session, Nethra very quickly helped me identify issues that were holding me back. Once identified, she had an uncanny ability to go deep to the root causes of the issues and help me see and unlock potential solutions. Nethra is very kind, insightful, and skilled.”

    “I highly recommend her.”

    — Steve

  • “My sessions with Nethra were incredibly soothing. I felt held, heard and supported. I came away each time with a different perspective on a specific situation, not just intellectually but really deep inside. This facilitated new behaviors and made space.” Working with Nethra was always gentle yet deep.
