A friend recommended Harish to me, saying he was a very caring person and coach. I wholeheartedly agree! I had 8 sessions with Harish and looked forward to every one. The time spent with him felt like one of the few times in my week that were devoted completely to me. As a caretaker and coach myself, I find myself focusing on other people most of the time, and I forget how good it feels to have someone pay attention and listen to me and support me in whatever my heart is calling me to do.

I sought support from Harish mainly for my desire and struggle to write a memoir. Harish was wonderful in helping me stay on track with the writing, but he did so much more. Life always intertwines into our creative work and many times I found myself cathartically releasing other concerns about relationships or emotional rollercoasters and Harish was great at listening and guiding me through these waters too.

Some of my favorite moments were when Harish would break out a creative exercise seemingly out of nowhere that shook up the normal rational train of my thoughts and helped me tap into a much deeper, wilder part of my mind that I don’t often access. He helped me see that I am much more creative than I think I am, and that sometimes getting there is best coming through the back door.

I also appreciated Harish’s gentle manner of working with goals. He always asked me about small steps, and encouraged self-forgiveness when I wasn’t able to make them for any reason. As someone who has always been too hard on myself, this approach was both refreshing and effective.

One of the most amazing features of Harish’s coaching sessions were the notes he sent me afterwards. He must have a photographic sense of hearing, because the notes read like a detailed summary of everything we talked about. I love this aspect because sessions like these tend to go by quickly and then disappear in a poof of good feelings. But with Harish’s detailed summary, I can go back and remember concrete details and receive encouragement even after the session is over. Plus, I now have a journal-like document of my progress and the tools and exercises we did to draw upon later. These notes are a huge extra bonus of working with Harish!

Perhaps what I loved the most about Harish’s sessions — and what I think is most unique about his approach — is the way he is able to weave deeper spiritual truths into our discussions of the creative process and things that hinder it, such as self-doubt and expectations.

Highly recommend Harish to anyone who needs a wise, creative, and compassionate coach.
