Work with Nethra

I help you release patterns that limit you,

so you can craft a life that expresses who you are

Areas I support with

I believe in possibility.

I coach for congruence and authenticity.

My work has shown me that each of us has a deep capacity to actualize our desires when we tune into and honor our needs.

I bring the transformative capacity of empathy to help you discover yours. I listen for what matters—to you. Together we uncover what you most want to create but have been blocked from realizing. I help you develop an internal compass where you tap into and follow a life that is congruent with who you are.

As you access what matters most to you and pursue your deferred dreams, l will support you in letting go of social scripts and fears that constrain you. Over time, we will go on a journey to create a life and work that is tailor-made for you.

My Approach to Coaching

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.”

Testimonials

“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’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

“Coaching with Nethra has helped me uncover and affirm needs that I had kept hidden from myself. No matter what I feel during our sessions, she offers nourishing empathy and deep listening. Her judgment-free approach gives me permission to be vulnerable and express sadness, fear or joy without self-censorship. After our conversations, I feel so supported and uplifted! Along with compassion, Nethra brings a fresh perspective by referencing her personal experience, as well as her knowledge of nonviolent communication and psychology. This reminds me that I'm not alone or strange because of the struggles that I face -- that they are human struggles. “

“Her insights are profound and they bring me hope even when there is pain.”

- Supraja

“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

“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. 

— Paola

“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.”
