Where it all began
If I go back as far as my memory takes me, I have always been someone who wanted to help people when they felt stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in a negative mindset.
My younger self did not know much about life coaching back then. I did not have the tools, the terminology, or the training. But I always believed in the power of positivity, possibility, and believing in yourself.
And somehow, it worked.
It worked for me, and it seemed to help the people who listened to me too.
Today, with the wisdom and understanding I have gained through life coaching, so many things from my past suddenly make sense. I realize that what I naturally did for people all those years was create a space for them to see things differently, believe in themselves, and find a way forward.
I am especially grateful to my mother, who has always been an inspiration to me. She believed in herself and was visionary in her own way. Through the way she lived, she taught me that circumstances do not have to define us and that believing in yourself can open doors you never imagined possible.
Many different chapters
My own journey has taken me through many different chapters.
After completing university in India, I began my career working in hospitals. Later, I moved to Canada and worked toward obtaining my Registered Nurse licence. I began my Canadian healthcare journey as a Mental Health Clinician in acute psychiatry and later continued my journey as a Registered Nurse.
Healthcare taught me something incredibly valuable. Every person has a story that we may not see on the surface.
It taught me to listen.
It taught me compassion.
It taught me that sometimes people need to feel understood before they can find a way forward.
As life continued to evolve, I stepped into the world of business as well. That journey brought its own lessons, challenges, growth, and opportunities.
Through all these chapters of my life, my husband has been one of my greatest supports. He believes in me, sometimes even more than I believe in myself. He has always been one of my biggest admirers and has stood beside me through every new dream, every challenge, and every step forward.
He has travelled this journey with me from the very beginning and has never stepped back. His encouragement, trust, and constant support have given me the confidence to keep moving forward and believe in what I am capable of.
Becoming a life coach
Somewhere along this journey, a very special person in my life said something that stayed with me. They told me that I should get trained in life coaching because they had watched me naturally support and guide different people through different stages of their lives, and they wanted to see more of that in me.
That thought stayed with me.
Eventually, I decided to follow it.
I became a Mindvalley Certified Life Coach, and suddenly, many of the things I had intuitively believed and practiced throughout my life had a framework, a deeper understanding, and a beautiful language.
And that is how Yours Life Coach by Jisha Prestige began to take shape.
Today, my dream is to walk alongside people as they rediscover and explore their true selves with greater clarity, self awareness, compassion, and vision for their future.
