Empowering South Asian and Immigrant Professionals Through Clinical Insight
With 20 years of experience navigating Ontario’s mental health systems— from school boards to inpatient treatment — I provide clinical workshops designed specifically for high-achieving, busy professionals.
With a decolonized lens combined with practical and actionable strategies, we dive into cultural scripts and pressures that impact the productivity of your team.
Decoding the "False Yes": Navigating Cultural Boundaries
In our community, saying "No" can feel like a betrayal of our values or a risk to our reputation.
This 60-minute session teaches professionals how to identify "face-saving" behaviours and move toward healthy, productive boundaries that protect their career and their peace.
Key Takeaway: Strategies to communicate capacity without sacrificing professional respect.
The "Immigrant Work Ethic" Audit: Reclaiming Your Identity
When our worth is tied solely to our productivity, burnout is bound to occur. I help participants audit their "Internalized Grind Culture" and reconnect with their core values.
Key Takeaway: A personal framework for balancing ancestral expectations with modern mental health needs.
Somatic Resets: Regulating the Professional Nervous System
High-stakes work environments keep our bodies in a state of constant "High Alert." This interactive workshop teaches clinical, body-based techniques (grounding, nervous system resets) to lower the collective "temperature" of a team.
Key Takeaway: Simple, 5-minute tools to move from a reactive state to a responsive one.
Different corporations require different information based on team culture, needs of the organization and capacity. Let's connect to discuss your needs to develop a well-designed, custom workshop that supports your employees and participants in the best possible way.
I offer these workshops for professional associations, employee resource groups, and community organizations across the Greater Toronto Area and beyond via Zoom.
