Our Client’s Corner
What matters most to us, is our Clients achieving their desired outcomes.
What was your absolute biggest challenge prior to working with me? Clarity on personal front and next steps of career front were the biggest concerns
How did that challenge make you feel/impact you? A constant nagging thought of "have to do something" but was not doing anything
What changed after working with me? I could discuss openly on several factors, with you understanding, could open up more to reach to the crux of the issues and could devise an approach to tackle them
What specific results can you share? By not taking action was the core of the issue- your explanations and deep thoughts on connecting with universe enforced the sense of urgent actions to fulfill the goals, was eye-opening. Its so obvious but so much time is lost in just thinking.
What would you say to somebody on the fence about working with me? Its a journey of self discovery and Sonal helps with the right questions to reach to the logical conclusions- so feel free to investigate and explore the possibilities. Embrace the uncertainty, starting with the session- will help you in having an enriched life.

Sonal has been a wonderful support !!! I was going through a transition phase in my life which I wasn't able to cope up with.
She helped me understand myself and my situation in a beautiful and clear manner and equipped me with strategies to deal with my issues. Her way of dealing with her clients is very empathetic. She is very patient and devotes her complete time and energy in reaching to the root cause of the problem, and further suggesting ways to deal with the issues.
Thank you Sonal for being the best!!!

Don't get stuck to thoughts alone- while thinking is important, its actions that will fetch you results. Sonal guided me at every step and rather enforced it in our conversations daily to ensure that I move from mere thoughts to actions. It's only when actions started getting results did I understand the futility of being perfect for every step- realising that it's actions that will fetch me the satisfaction of 'moving ahead'. So, to all the mentees, listen to the custom advice from Sonal- 'custom' because she will especially customize the plan and solutions based on your needs so follow it for your own good.

How was your overall experience?
In my session with Sonal, she made me introspect into some of my childhood experiences and helped me overcome some of the hard moments. Overall, it was a fulfilling session where I came out with a little extra confidence in me.
What specific insights can you share?
She makes it easy for your to become vulnerable and provide a safe space to talk about your life experiences and traumas.
What would you say to someone who is considering starting with coaching session with me?
What I liked about her was that she doesn't sugarcoat anything for you. She is vocal about your feelings/experiences and convey the same to you. If you're looking for a coach who can help you become mindful of your situation and let go of your past, she is the one for you.
Lian, Netherlands
What was your absolute biggest challenge prior to working with me?
Finding joy and peace in everyday life, not getting in over my head with chores and trying to fix things, and appreciating myself.
How did that challenge make you feel/impact you?
Sad and tired, running around without an end in sight.
What changed after working with me?
I learned that I don't have to fix everything, and that I'm allowed to feel joy or do nothing at all.
What specific results can you share?
I spend less time on chores and my husband more. I feel less bothered by my messy house. I'm working on appreciating myself more but I'm not there yet.
What would you say to someone who is considering starting with coaching session with me?
It's great to be able to touch on these recognizable topics around motherhood. Spoiler alert: in the end, most solutions lie in the mindset with which you approach them.
Lena, Netherlands
What changed after working with me?
Sonal made me change to stop stress about things that I have no control about. I needed to be aware that somethings in life go the way that they supposed to. Overthinking about it wont make it better, just let it come to you and see than how it will go.
What specific results can you share?
Let life come to you as it comes, and take it with wide arms without overthinking or stressing about it.
What would you say to someone who is considering to join my program?
Do It! Because I am sure she will change something or some pattern in your life that is an obstacle for yourself. When you learn to adjust it, there is no other way you will overthink or stress about some things. You will learn alot, not only about yourself but also about the way you think. What would you say to somebody on the fence about working with me?
Sonal is a very calm person that is a very good listener. With a positive aura. A good coach that gets the best out of yourself.

How was the overall experience of the mamareturns workshop?
I have found the overall atmosphere intimate and safe to talk about things which I do not have time to process yet. That way it helps me to start to process it.
Why did you decide to attend the workshop?
I guess a curiosity, and I wanted to help a friend. What were your key takeaways from the workshop?
To understand and better manage my emotions. And to know that I am not the only one feeling like this.
What would you say to someone who is considering to join the workshop?
To share the feelings and emotions with other mothers feels empowering and unite us all together.
Ray K, USA
How was the overall experience of the self management workshop?
First off, I would like to Thank you for spending time and really navigating my thinking process by asking some very important but hard questions. It helped me really introspect and to see "what I can do, if only I enable myself, rather than creating unnecessary excuses or hurdles"
Why did you decide to attend the workshop?
To feel stuck, is a very hard to explain feeling. Wanted to explore how Sonal has transformed her life and learn from it.
What were your key takeaways from the workshop?
The most powerful force to help you drive you in your journey is right within yourself. The session helped me to find out how to harness that energy.
What would you say to someone who is considering joining the workshop?
I highly recommend this workshop to anyone who feels they are not operating the fullest of their potential or feeling stuck. Sonal has wealth of knowledge to share and help you in your transformation to unleash your fullest
S Kari, USA
What was your absolute biggest challenge prior to working with me?
I always felt that I am not doing good enough. I am not doing enough when it comes to my job, being a mother, taking care of things around the house, etc. There were always things that I couldn't finish. I couldn't discipline my older daughter. Any argument or any episode of dealing with my daughter's misbehavior broke me down. I got too angry or too emotional. I always focused on what I didn't do.
How did that challenge make you feel/impact you?
I kept thinking what I can do to change things or why I am like this. I was lacking clarity. Everything seemed foggy and I couldn't think through things. What changed after working with me?
I understood where my energy was going and why I felt not having clarity. I understand what I need to do to help myself. I need to give myself priority. What specific results can you share?
Some of the things that we discussed or discovered were eye opening. Like the concept that people can be taking away my energy / I might be spending a lot of energy thinking about certain people and that's why I did not have enough energy left and that might be the reason behind having lack of clarity.
“I had multiple sessions with Sonal, in a very strange period where different factors (my job situation, self awareness, covid-19 impact) played a role on my mental health. My sessions with Sonal helped me to look at myself as an outsider, but aware of what is going on inside.
She is sharp, honest, a good listener and I liked that she customizes assignments to my specific needs/situation. Her extensive experience in the corporate sector was in my case a plus too, as she would quickly understand the situation.
I even shared her number within my network of corporate millenials as I really appreciated her approach for our "millenial" issues.
She helped me to assess, understand and therefore adjust my own behaviour by giving me "easy tools", both on my job as well as personal circumstances. I could apply this in my day to day routine, as it was low key but effective for me.”

“During our various sessions I have always felt safe, welcome and free to speak my mind. Sonal has the unique capability of sharing knowledge, listening closely to the client and providing useful advice/feedback. All while adjusting the session according to the client's specific boundaries or needs and keeping a perfect balance between visual and verbal content. I have left her sessions feeling calm, collected and optimistic and I look forward to joining another session soon!”

“Sonal is my mentor and now also a coach. She makes sure when she works with someone, she knows what kind of a person you are. What do you like and what you have to do to survive in the corporate world? And one thing is for sure, that you’ll give up on yourself, but she won’t let you do that. She will keep you moving. Its not all about corporate the social skills, what i learnt from her is helping me in my personal life as well which is very important specially when you move to a new country.”

“My session with Sonal helped me understand the roadblocks and provided me with the tools to overcome those obstacles. Encouraged me to climb over them or challenge me to push them out of the way. Sonal’s gentle and friendly nature reassured me and her non-judgmental approach encouraged me to open up easily with confidence.
If I ever need that help again, I know she is just an email or a phone call away !!”

”It was a great pleasure to have been involved in the multiple sessions on self development and energy conservation.
Sonal’s cool approach to lead me in the identification of the problem at hand has brought a total transformation in the thinking process.
This has resulted in focused review of the existing situation and deciding appropriate alternatives, thereby achieving desired results.
