Preeta Pradhan is an emotional wellness & wholeness coach who focuses on the overall improvement of the body and mind. She conducts session that cultivates habits like self-care, self-awareness, and peace by using various techniques.
A wholeness coach is a person who continually looks at your emotional, mental, and physical state. In the sense that normally when you go to a coach, most coaches work from a mental level, which means you have a problem or you are somewhere in your life where you’re stuck and you want to reach somewhere else, say you’re suffering from a relationship, so the coach generally helps you through mental work, like reframing your mind.
Preeta Pradhan believes, that when people work with their minds, they are still limited because the mind is limited. The mind only knows what people have learned in their lives. But our body, breath, and our emotional state are wiser and more encompassing. So, as a wholeness coach, Preeta works with emotions, and through emotional work, she brings the changes that a life coach does.
Icy Tales is in conversation with Wholeness Coach Preeta who engages all aspects of her clients as a whole person – mental, emotional, physical, social, and spiritual to produce the understanding and impulse that lives within you.
Q) What made you choose this path and how did it all start?
Wholeness Coach Preeta – I am now 60 years now and I began my career many years ago. When I started my career life was very different in those days. As my life progressed, I had to make many career changes. I was working in an organization that does pre-employment background streaming. The work involves ways and means of finding out if a person is truthful or not during employment processes.
That was challenging for me. That work did not match the alignment of my thinking. I wanted to be more truthful to myself. I wanted to know why the person needs to lie. In the earlier part of my career, I was a teacher, and I was certified as a counselor. I came up with a list of what I’m good at and what the world needs. So, when I did this, life coaching came to my mind. So, I got myself certified as an emotional wellness coach.
Q) For an emotional wholeness coach like you, sometimes you must put yourself in their shoes to understand them. So, in this situation, you might be exhausted from observing or trying to understand their pain. How do you manage this situation
Wholeness Coach Preeta – Firstly I would like to mention that I would not get exhausted because it is not my energy being consumed. The only thing I need to do is when I get into a session with my client I must be fully present before I get into a session. Even if I’m having a personal day filled with low emotions or if I am disturbed, I must be completely attentive. So I manage this by doing my practices or my way of bringing myself to the present moment.
Once I’m in the session, I’m just an observer, so I’m just observing, listening, and asking questions at the right time point, to my client. The client can share some very disturbing or vulnerable points in their life and, any time they can share something which can reflect what I’m going through. So that’s where my practices come into play. I can speak from a distance. I will be empathetic but not affected.
Q) So I noticed it on your Instagram page, In the feedback session, many of them mentioned their pets being calm and relaxed after your session. How does your work benefit animals?
Wholeness Coach Preeta – So as a wholeness coach, I use many techniques because coaching by its nature is a lot of talk therapy. We ask questions that make our clients think, but along with that, I use some energetic techniques, which use vibrations and frequencies. You use a method known as sound healing where we play certain sounds using specific instruments.
These are played for a particular duration which helps your cellular vibration become resonant. And this applies to animals also. Our body and mind are like an orchestra. Many instruments play together and in harmony. So I had online sound healing sessions during the pandemic and people who had pets brought them to the session and it benefitted them. The animals lose their fear and anxiety which helps them to sleep.
Q) Is there any specific case or success story you would like to share with us? Something from which you learned something new or you were amazed?
Wholeness Coach Preeta – To be honest, every session teaches me something, the person that comes with a unique problem or any other general issue, but each outcome will be different, for different individuals, even if I use the same techniques. Because we don’t know everything about a person’s mental state.
Q) Majority of us lack self-care and self-love, how do you encourage your clients to cultivate these practices?
Wholeness Coach Preeta – So self-care unfortunately gets forgotten because of our awareness. It is mostly commercialized like going to the spa and other retail therapies. These are all there but the satisfaction from these is only present until the process is over. It’s not long-term. Once you bought yourself that nice lipstick, that’s it!
People pleasing is one aspect which is a trauma response. Self-care is something that first I need to acknowledge the fact that my body and my mind need to be taken care of with awareness. We all brush our teeth and bathe and have food every day but we’re doing it from a completely unaware space. We always think the concept of gratitude is saying thank you.
It’s not only that but about feeling thank you in every cell of your body and not only when things are going your way. It’s about what you’re thankful for when things go wrong. At that time, you can only be thankful for breathing and being alive. Nobody knows what tomorrow will bring us. I know so many people who were fine at night and when they woke up, they realized that one side of their body was paralyzed.
We always sip water when the body is thirsty, the body being thirsty tells us that there is not enough fuel. So basically, self-care is about honoring your body, mind, and breathing, and taking out the time to do it. Wholeness coach Preeta inspires a huge crowd with her excellent work. Despite facing many hardships in her life, she still chooses to heal others with passion. She is an idol for women’s empowerment.
Wholeness is a state of thankfulness and abundance. When you are totally alive, all aspects of your life are balanced and incorporated. Your family life affects your work life and your health impacts your capability to contribute. Your self-image influences your mental and emotional health. You are required to become whole.
Wholeness Coach Preeta empowers people to help them invest in themselves. She encourages people to be the best version of themselves for their families and other important people around them. Preeta motivates people to be straightforward and attentive to goals that will make the most significant impact across all areas of their lives, achieve more vitality and reach healthiness levels that contest them, step out of their comfort zone, and break through those restricting beliefs. She wants to encourage people to be committed and take action for a life-changing outcome.
