About Me

"You have to be somebody before you can be nobody." — Jack Engler

 

For years, I built identities around external success. I have been a finance professional (CA, PwC, ITC), an MBA graduate (IIMB), a management consultant (KPMG, Aptech), a mother on a career break, and an entrepreneur who co-founded FlexiBees to create flexible careers for other women. Yet, beneath all these roles and achievements, there remained a quiet, persistent search for my "internal home."

​

This personal homecoming truly began when I discovered the profound clarity offered by The Work of Byron Katie, followed closely by the illuminative framework of Internal Family Systems (IFS). Integrating these two modalities has accelerated a deep healing process—not just for myself, but for the clients I sit with every day.

Facilitate Clients Worldwide

Over the years, I have had the privilege of facilitating individuals from all over the world—spanning the US, Europe, Asia, and Australia. My practice is designed to meet you wherever you are on your journey, offering different spaces for deep transformation:

 
1:1 Client Sessions:

Providing deep, focused facilitation in The Work to untangle stressful beliefs.

IFS-Integrated Inquiry:

Specialized sessions that blend the clarity of inquiry with compassionate parts work for faster, deeper healing.

Group Courses & Workshops:

Structured, collaborative learning environments for regular practitioners of The Work

​

​

From facilitating people across cultures & geographies, I know that the condition of the human mind is quite similar. No one seems to be exempt from the confusion that the mind creates - all in its good intent to serve us. The tool that wants to be a friend, can also become our enemy. I want to share the ways that helped me befriend my mind again - with more of you, so that you may relish the same gift that I have. 

Community & Giving Back

I am deeply invested in growing the global community and holding space for beginners through several ongoing initiatives:

Free Monthly Workshop:

I host a regular, free introductory session called "Question Your Thinking, Free Your Life" for those new to The Work.

Global Community Leadership:

I host voluntary initiatives including "Work for Breakfast (Pacific Time)" and the "Moving The Work in the World sharing group". (Past concluded initiatives include the "BK Book Club" and "Loving Guardrails").

Online Support:

I actively offer support and model clarifications for beginners in IFS in the global IFS community on Reddit via my handle (Aumcoming_Inquiry).
