Trauma-informed and body-first approach to coaching for those healing from narcissistic, psychological, emotional abuse, relational and betrayal trauma, to helping you feel safe, seen, and strong in who you are and in your relationships.
For over a decade, I have held space for individuals and couples navigating the aftermath of relational trauma, attachment wounds, and the slow work of coming home to themselves. My practice lives at the intersection of clinical depth and embodied wisdom, where the body is not incidental to healing, but the very site of it.
I’m Shikha, a Registered Psychotherapist, relationship coach, speaker, and successful owner of a group therapy practice, I have partnered with my trusted colleague to co-found The Tamarind Soul, focusing on serving global individuals, couples, and corporate groups in navigating the relational trauma that intersects with their daily lives.
With a Master's degree in Counselling Psychology and clinical training rooted in trauma-informed, relational, and holistic approaches, I stand with people at pivotal moments of pain, confusion, and transition, helping them move from struggle to clarity, self-trust, and empowered connection.

— THE HOLISTIC PATH
Where the body leads the mind follows.
Gottman Method Couples Therapy — Level 3
One of a select group of practitioners trained to Gottman Level 3, the highest available tier, bringing research-backed precision to the messy, human reality of relational repair. Integrating Gottman's evidence base with Relational Life Therapy and somatic attunement to help couples move past surface conflict into the attachment wounds that drive it. The offering includes the rare Couples Intensive, a five-hour deep-dive assessment that compresses what would normally take seven or more sessions into a single transformative day.
My practice is built on a foundational belief: lasting healing does not happen only in the mind. It lives in the nervous system, in the breath, in the subtle places where memory and muscle intertwine. My somatic training is not a techniques I apply, it is the lens through which I see every client.
Somatic Experiencing & Nervous System Healing
Trained in Somatic Experiencing, My work at the edge of what talk therapy alone can access. Sessions attend to the body's held tension, a braced chest, a held breath, a sudden urge to disappear, and gently work with what the nervous system has stored. Clients learn to track their own internal landscape, developing a richer relationship with their body as a source of information and regulation, not just sensation. This is healing from the inside out, at a pace the body sets.
Embodied Coaching at The Tamarind Soul
As Co-Founder of The Tamarind Soul, extends her clinical depth into global coaching and retreat work. Here, the somatic and the strategic converge, supporting high-achieving professionals and individuals worldwide who are navigating relational trauma, identity transitions, and the quiet work of learning to trust themselves again. Coaching is collaborative, body-informed, and entirely centred on what healing looks like in your actual life.

Three offerings
Whether you're arriving from the wreckage of a narcissistic relationship, the distance growing between you and your partner, or a body that holds more than your words can say, I meet you there.
Somatic Healing & Nervous System Regulation
Trauma doesn't only live in your memories, it lives in your body. My somatic approach works gently with what your nervous system holds: the chronic bracing, the hypervigilance, the numbness that is its own form of self-protection. Through Somatic Experiencing, breath awareness, body tracking, and trauma-informed presence, clients gradually develop a safer relationship with their own internal world. Many describe it as the first time coaching actually reached what years of talking couldn't.

What it feels like to work with Shikha.
I came to Shikha completely unraveled after leaving a narcissistic relationship. I didn't know who I was anymore. She never rushed me, never minimized what I'd been through, and the somatic work we did together helped me feel things I'd spent years suppressing. I didn't just recover, I genuinely grew into someone I respect. I didn't know that was possible.
INDIVIDUAL CLIENT · NARCISSISTIC ABUSE RECOVERY
Shikha’s Rooted Again program was just what I need after years of therapy. It is structured and intense, packed with information. I got more from the 12 sessions than having non structured therapy. I appreciated how she gave weekly practices to ensure I was continuously healing.
INDIVIDUAL CLIENT ·ROOTED AGAIN PROGRAM
The Gottman Intensive was a turning point for my marriage. In one day, we understood more about our patterns than in two years of trying on our own. Shikha was warm but completely honest, and that honesty is what we needed.
COUPLES CLIENT · GOTTMAN INTENSIVE
Working with Shikha remotely, I never once felt like distance was a barrier. She holds space in a way that feels genuinely present, and her coaching helped me finally act on the decisions I'd been circling for years.
GLOBAL COACHING CLIENT
I'd done traditional therapy before, but nothing prepared me for how different somatic coaching would feel. Shikha helped me connect what I knew intellectually to what my body had been carrying. I sleep better. I trust myself more. That's not a small thing.
INDIVIDUAL CLIENT · SOMATIC HEALING
As a couple, we came in ready to call it quits. Shikha helped us see that beneath the conflict, we still had something worth repairing. The structure and care she brought to every session made us feel held, not judged.
