Words of Appreciation

I reached out when I was just kind of open minded about changing my life. I didn’t have specific goals, but he really helped me clarify things.

I found confidence in my ability to just do good work. It’s allowed me to feel much more present without worrying about the past or holding onto the future.

I now feel comfortable talking to strangers and make it an exercise to do so in a playful way. It’s hard to put a price on newfound confidence in the life I’m living.

Everything felt obvious in a way that I would just ultimately believe. He never tells you anything - a good coach always makes you believe the answer is within you, and Rishi does a great job of that.

In each of Rishi’s experiences, I’ve seen Rishi center care, play and connection. Some of the experiences I’ve been a part of include a tarot themed dinner, a 5-day experience design retreat, an ongoing writer’s group and a graduation celebration.

Each time I go into a space designed by Rishi, I’m always grateful for their way of creating a balance between attending to everyone’s needs and making space for the unknown.

As an introvert and someone who navigates social anxiety, I feel excited to meet new people and explore experiences designed by Rishi because of the level of safety they facilitate.

Rishi is also a great collaborator who is always mindful of highlighting what makes their collaborators shine. With Rishi’s playful “let’s be monsters” mentality, there’s often an invitation to try a new way of seeing or being. This exuberance makes risk-taking feel possible and fun in Rishi’s spaces.

I’m grateful for the way Rishi designs experiences and I hope many others get to experience the joys of their spaces.

I have had several coaching, consulting, and group facilitations calls over my professional career. The session that Rishi led for my team truly stands out as one of the most profound and energetically moving experiences of any call I had. Our team arrived at the call stressed, fearful, and anxious about the future of our business. In 90 minutes, our team left the call inspired, energized, and recommitted to our mission and purpose.

Rishi artfully held space for our team, giving each individual person space to explore and process what was coming up for us. Rishi also had a remarkable way to keep the team grounded even as we explored some heavy topics; regularly reminding us to breathe, Rishi invited us to integrate the lessons in real time.

The container felt safe and nurturing, and as a result, our team expressed true moments of vulnerability that have brought us closer together. I highly recommend Rishi if you feel your business/team have energetic blocks, limitations, or fears that are preventing you from actualizing the truest vision of your organization.

I’ve rewritten this sentence at least half a dozen times, for trying to put words to the work we do feels like trying to pinpoint an electron in its orbit. It can only be true for the moment of observation, but it’s an everchanging entity that has a mind of its own, outside of the both of us.

Working with Rishi as a coach has been a freeing experience as we let resonant feelings and concepts move through a series of playful scenes, like reading a book about your own life and then understanding the meaning of it in a different way.

If you’re a creative that’s ready to surrender yourself to being witnessed through somatic methods and deep listening, he’s the coach for you!

I initially sought out Rishi’s coaching to explore how to effectively present my diverse range of personas and identities. I wanted to improve my stage presence and cure a certain stage fright I had. We tackled these challenges head-on.

Rishi’s guidance has enabled me to feel confident and poised when appearing on podcasts, during photoshoots, and in meetings, allowing me to authentically express my various roles and interests while also knowing when to say no.

Through this journey, I’ve found joy in facing challenges and have become more comfortable with stillness. It’s been a transformative experience that has enriched my personal and professional life.

Next to being a kind, thoughtful and approachable human soul that is just beautiful to have around oneself, Rishi‘s coaching helped me through a fast-paced chapter of my life, has anchored me and helped me stay accountable to keeping self-acceptance, self-love and balance in my daily life. Thank you Rishi!

Rishi is a brilliant coach, also very earnest and committed. He seemingly effortlessly gets to the root of my issues and knows exactly what question to ask. I have worked with many coaches and therapists, some with decades of experience, and I have found Rishi to be the most effective by far.

I struggle to let my guard down and cry, but found myself able to do this with Rishi. At the same time, when necessary for growth he knows how to push back in a gentle way. Don’t hesitate to reach out to him!

Rishi’s creativity, adaptability, and humility are foundational to his coaching. Every time I’ve worked with Rishi, I have been enlightened and surprised by the insights that were right in front of me but previously unnoticed.

When I’m with Rishi, I feel held, I feel safe. I feel empowered to be vulnerable, to sit with what comes up for me and my body. My sessions with Rishi have helped me to recognize what I had felt as anxiety and overwhelm, is in fact excitement for as-yet unrealized potential. And that was a really transformative realization.
