About Me
I blend eastern wisdom, neuroscience and technology with wellness, bringing a unique perspective to mind-body health through my holistic and integrative approach to wellbeing and human potential.
I’m a certified coach from the Human Potential Institute® and a yoga and meditation teacher with training from Yogalife® and Prana Flow® across India and Europe. I’ve had the opportunity to study with inspiring teachers including Rod Stryker, Elena Brower, Emma Carbery, Shiva Rea, and Poonam Stecher, while drawing wisdom from Paramahansa Yogananda, Swami Rama, Swami Niranjan, Ram Dass, and Deepak Chopra. For over 14 years, I’ve been helping people connect more deeply with themselves through Yoga, Meditation, Pranayama, Mindfulness, Yoga Nidra, and Self-Inquiry. I believe we build resilience through regular wellness practices, creating inner resources we can tap into when life gets challenging. My work helps people bring together mental clarity, emotional balance, and physical health—because true wellbeing happens when all these elements work in harmony.
My career has taken me across Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Dubai, India, and Canada, where I’ve led wellness programs for organizations like the Prime Minister’s Office, Reebok, Novartis, Marriot, Hilton, and Daimler. I’ve seen firsthand how taking care of our wellbeing creates the foundation for both success and fulfillment in all areas of life.
My background in brain health and cognitive performance adds another dimension to my work. Currently, I’m a Senior Program Manager in Neurotech at Vielight Inc., working with transcranial near-infrared light therapy. Before that, I led Program Management of Content at Muse™ by Interaxon, creating meditation and brain health programs using EEG neurofeedback technology. All of this builds on my Master’s in Biomedical Engineering, where I researched how music meditation affects brain waves.
As a co-founder of WellxTO, I’ve built a community where ambitious professionals can prioritize wellness alongside success. We host events that foster meaningful connections and develop corporate programs that help organizations create cultures where health, balance, and self-care matter just as much as achievement. I firmly believe that success and wellbeing go hand in hand.
For me, wellness isn’t just about physical health—it’s about emotional balance, mental clarity, and meaningful connection. I see wellbeing not just as living longer but living better—feeling aligned, energized, and present while experiencing contentment, peace, and joy. Through everything I do, I’m passionate about helping others discover how caring for our complete wellbeing creates the foundation for both professional success and personal fulfillment.
Testimonials
“I have lots of medical issues and pain including fibromyalgia due to chronic stress.I always did yoga which helped my condition to improve but only when I started working with Payal, I realized the difference in what I was doing and what Payal brought to my body. I felt the difference and ease of pain from the first session literally. After 2 weeks, I was already able to stand upside down. She is the only one who understood my body needs and was able to help me make the changes that now I am pain free….”
“My experience with Payal is the biggest personal victory for me. I was seeking help for my physical and mental well-being during the toughest phase of my life. It has been more than 6 months now, and I have seen my life taking a magical turn that I could never imagine. She created a hybrid program for me, which was a combination of yoga, meditation, and life coaching practices. Her yoga teachings helped me overcome the reservations I had about my flexibility. In addition to that, she helped me overcome long-standing anxiety issues with meditation and pranayam practices.
Her life coaching helped me settle down, giving me an emotionally calm and stable state, which gave me the strength to stay put in the toughest battles of my life. I must say, she has a deep knowledge in the realm of spirituality and mental well-being. The combination of this with her expertise in yoga has surely uplifted me and given me the needed direction. I am blessed our paths have crossed, Payal, and thank you will never be enough to express my gratitude towards you.”

“Amazing Yoga and Ayurveda – inspired wellness coaching , customized to my stage in life, needs and circumstances.I was already doing yoga before but I loved Payal’s attention to detail, quick and to the point guidance that helped me understand what changes to make to my daily habits, routine from nutrition pointers to new breathing exercises and meditation. Thank you very much!”
“The sessions with Payal have made me look at my health and life in such a new light.
Payal has introduced me to the concepts of healthy boundaries in my life. She has helped me attune my mind and eliminate negative patterns and encouraged the right self-talk. She is extremely calm and patient & has a natural skill to go deeper to understand & address the “Why” of any issue or circumstance. She has not only mentored me in my personal life but, also been a support through my evolution in my professional life. She is God sent!
“Working with Payal over 8 weeks has been a truly transformative experience. Her deep knowledge and experience in yoga, combined with her compassionate and patient approach, made every session meaningful and enriching.
She took the time to truly listen and understand my life situations, offering guidance that extended beyond just physical postures—helping me find balance, mindfulness, and inner peace. She also helped me improve my food habits by suggesting mindful dietary changes that supported my overall well-being.
Beyond yoga, her life coaching insights were invaluable in helping me navigate challenges with a fresh perspective. I am grateful for her support and highly recommend her to anyone looking to embark on a holistic wellness journey.
Amit K, Premier Wealth Manager, HSBC
“Working with Payal has been an incredible experience. She is a facilitator who truly listens — not just to the words I say, but to the deeper layers of my thoughts, emotions, and energy. Her intuitive and compassionate guidance has helped me focus on my strengths and align them with my goals, making it easier to move forward with clarity and purpose. The process she uses is empowering, like unearthing hidden strengths I hadn’t fully acknowledged or tapped into.
What truly sets Payal apart is her unique approach, which goes far beyond surface-level techniques. She works with me at deep emotional and spiritual levels, helping me connect with my design and inner wisdom. Payal has a special way of guiding me to trust the process, allowing me to surrender instead of forcing outcomes. It feels like walking beside her, two travelers moving at the same pace along a river — I trust the journey, and I trust her.
Through our work together, I’ve released judgmental tendencies and embraced my journey with more openness and self-compassion. It’s no longer about analyzing or trying to control life; it’s about fully experiencing it — and that shift has been a game-changer. Payal doesn’t just teach techniques — she helps you trust yourself and the process in a deeply empowering way. I now feel like the master of my own journey, and I’m deeply grateful for her unwavering presence and guidance.
