“I have been extremely lucky to learn from Sonal for the past 1.5 years. She teaches meditation with love, compassion and wisdom. It amazes me the amount of knowledge she shares in a way for her students to understand and she is an exceptional story teller. Sonal is the most thoughtful person, and I admire her ability to connect with each of her students in a loving way. Sonal passionately personalizes her material based on students’ questions. My meditation practice has greatly deepened because of Sonal and I am so grateful for her warmth and contagious positive energy. I fully recommend Sonal to students of any meditation level.”

Feedback on Life Coaching
“Sonal Kalra has provided me the opportunity to find my way and grow as an individual righting my own path and creating my own well being. It has been her guidance that has brought so much light in my everyday process and allowed me to grow and bring growth to my family and friends around me. My continued journey has strength in it’s foundation and it has been the interactions with Sonal that created that base.
Thank you Sonal for all that you have done for and with me. I have such gratitude in having the opportunity to work with you. I wish you all the pleasures and joy of life for both you.
Thank you again from the bottom of my heart!”

“I’ve had the pleasure of being coached by you and I appreciate your work with me. I have seen great results in my life as a result of your coaching and you truly helped me realize which direction I really want my life to go. After each meditation exercise with you, I felt so relaxed and after each coaching session, I found myself feeling better, stronger, more confident and inspired. I feel that I have reconnected to myself and to my power. Thank you for all the advice and help you have given me over the past months.”

– Neelam Chaudhry, New Delhi, India
“Sonal is a very good coach. She always came across as a person who listened well and offered solutions. I will always feel comfortable seeking Sonal’s help in dealing with issues of career progression and people development.”
– Tanmoy Chakrabarti, New Zealand
“The coaching sessions with Sonal really allowed me to improve my relationship with self. I am a much happier person and more lovable to myself. I was trapped in “good girl syndrome” which was working against me Sonal helped me to identify what is really important for me. Now I have a sense of direction in my life. I feel a lot more focused. Without ever directing or telling me what to do or think, Sonal has helped me take a step back and recognize my own strengths and take my own logical decisions. I look forward to all the future growth I will realize with her guidance.
Sonal, you are an amazing coach. Thanks for introducing me to a beautiful positive life. A big big big thanks to you.”
-Mandeep Ahuja, Delhi, India
“The difference I feel, after I started coaching with Sonal, is that I can manage my emotions better and really understand my relationships. She listens with patience, asks questions which make one introspect, inspires new ideas, offers useful suggestions and is non judgmental. For the first time in my life, I started doing meditation as part of the coaching process, which Sonal follows. Thanks to the regular meditation, affirmations as well as the insights and tools shared by Sonal, I can control and calm my nerves easily as compared to earlier. My comprehension of firstly, myself and then of people, in general, has improved which has helped me make sense of what was happening in my relationships. The strategies suggested by Sonal have helped me deal effectively with a lot of stress in my life. I have also learnt how to consciously and consistently focus on thinking good feeling thoughts.For me, one of the biggest gains out of the coaching with Sonal has been concentrating on my relationship with “myself” and thereby living my true potential. She has been crucial to the growth, which I have introduced in my life. I would highly recommend Sonal as a Life Coach.”
– M.K., New Delhi, India
“When I started coaching with Sonal, I felt that here is someone who understands me. Sonal was able to see where I was coming from and how my life was. The activities and exercises during the coaching helped me in seeing clearly what I truly wanted, what was holding me back and how I could reach my dreams. Sonal helped me in learning how to delve deep within into my own wisdom. I feel empowered now.
– S.C., Delhi, India

“I have been going for marriage counseling to a marriage counselor for the past few months but every time I left the counselor’s office, I felt that something was still left to be addressed. It was as if the session wasn’t complete but with you, it has been different. I have never felt as empowered as I do now after this session with you”
– M.R., Chandigarh, India
“What I like best about your coaching process is the fact that you bring to it the Psychology background which you have with the spirituality that you follow in your own life. This makes your coaching useful, healing, authentic, and life changing as it is accompanied not only by the coaching tools, life strategies and insights but also by the understanding of the human psyche and most important, with connecting to the inner core of a person.”
