We got in touch with Dr Ramya to know more about her career and how she grew it online.<\/p>\n

Turning adversities into innovative solutions<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Dr Ramya’s journey to becoming a wellness entrepreneur is an inspiring story of persisting through hard times.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Her career started from something very different from coaching: engineering.<\/p>\n

Dr Ramya graduated from IIT Madras, and also holds a PGDM (MBA) from IIM Ahmedabad and a PhD in Organizational Behaviour from London Business School. She has worked in many blue chip companies like ICICI, Infosys and Citibank.<\/p>\n

But later, she will go on to pivot her career from corporate to coach and facilitator, who developed a unique approach to catalyze and nurture wellbeing.<\/p>\n

But why did she make a huge career change?<\/p>\n

It actually started as a personal journey for her to find ways to stay afloat during a particularly difficult time in her life. Although she has everything that had to make one ‘happy’: an accomplished career,\u00a0 a loving marriage, a comfortable home. But something was amiss.<\/p>\n

\u2018Everything felt like a burden.I was declared clinically depressed. I didn\u2019t know what to do and started looking at various avenues to seek help\u2019.<\/p>\n

She studied psychology, philosophy and yoga. She stayed at ashrams, met monks, and read the Bhagavad Gita. She also went on to discover and study positive psychology.<\/p>\n

Crafting our Lives <\/em><\/a>was eventually created, based on her own life experiences, science and positivity. After this, there was no holding back.<\/p>\n
