My career as a Montessori Early Childhood Educator was already grounded in a deep understanding of the spiritual development of the child and teacher. I now began seeing profound connections unfold in my work in Montessori Education and my newfound interest in mindfulness and the You Can Heal Your Life Movement started by Louise Hay. Most importantly, I recognized that these paths merge into one goal; for children and adults to be in their natural state of being which is meant to be content, calm, happy, and satisfied.
My calling was clear! I was meant to help others evolve to a place of more clarity, peace, self-love, and joy through mindfulness coaching. I asked for divine intervention and lo and behold, the correct courses and certifications appeared in no time. They gave me the credibility to allow for this expansion of my career.
In the interim, individuals from all walks of life began seeking me out for mindfulness coaching. Whether it was relationship, health, or situational-related issues, it was evident my tools and strategies were helping them all. My uncanny intuition of the human psyche and my previous decades of experience working with adults and children created a unique offering of services. Requests for group and individual coaching came to my doorstep. It was time to make this official.
Throughout my life, a couple of my friends would notice my disposition of being content despite the upheaval in my life. They called me ‘Santosh’ in an Indian language meaning ‘content’.
Thus the birth of Santosha. At first, I had no plans or goals, no intentions – only a legitimate child born from the ‘Divine Source’. I followed the universal plan as it unfolded and here we are!
