ABOUT ME
Hello, I’m Anessha Jayshankar - a wellness coach and advocate for holistic growth and transformation.
I was born and raised in South India, immersed in spiritual practices and wellness traditions that have shaped my life and the work I do today. From the Bhagavad Gita and Ayurveda to meditation and mindfulness, these teachings have guided me toward balance, purpose, and inner peace.
For the past 8 years, I’ve lived in New Zealand, a country that has further deepened my connection to nature and personal growth. In addition to my wellness coaching, I manage a supported employment agency in Nelson, where I lead a team dedicated to helping people with health barriers find meaningful and sustainable employment. This work complements my coaching practice by allowing me to assist individuals in both their personal growth and practical, day-to-day challenges.
With over a decade of experience in coaching, human resources, and leadership across both the private and public sectors, I bring a diverse skill set to my coaching practice. I’m a certified coach through the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and a licensed NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) trainer, but my work goes far beyond certifications. It’s about understanding you as a whole person - your unique challenges, strengths, and aspirations.
🌍 What Inspires Me
I am inspired by the diversity of cultures and the many ways people seek wellness, purpose, and joy in their lives. Whether I’m traveling, dancing to Latin rhythms, or cooking nourishing meals, I find joy in embracing the richness of life.
Spirituality is at the core of my being. Through chanting, meditation, and mindfulness, I’ve learned to cultivate inner peace and clarity. These are the tools I bring to my clients, guiding them to reconnect with their inner wisdom and true potential.
✨ Why I Do This Work
My journey of personal and professional transformation has been shaped by the fusion of ancient spiritual wisdom and modern coaching techniques. I believe that true wellness encompasses mind, body, and spirit, and I’m passionate about helping you discover your authentic self, live with purpose, and embrace life with resilience and joy.
In my coaching, whether working with individuals or leading a team at the employment agency, I aim to empower others to break through barriers, live with intention, and embrace a life that feels aligned with who they truly are.
Together, we’ll work through transitions, challenges, and self-discovery, unlocking your full potential and helping you live with clarity, purpose, and balance.
A Personal Note:
The practices I share come from both my lived experience and my extensive training. These aren’t just trends—they are ancient systems of transformation, rooted in deep cultural wisdom and scientific knowledge. I offer them with care, respect, and the understanding that healing is deeply personal and unique to each individual.
This work is spiritual, not religious. It’s coaching, not therapy. I’m here to guide, support, and walk alongside you as you reconnect with your inner wisdom, clarity, and strength.
