Pooja Desai

About Me

Welcome to my wellness page. I have 25 years of experience in healthcare and I am practicing Mindfulness Coach since 2020. My wellness journey sprouted from childhood with my desire to become calm in a chaotic world. In return, it taught me how to be resilient. Meditation and mindfulness has transformed me into a more positive, productive, and peaceful person, and I can’t wait to share its benefits with you.

My techniques are simple and easy to integrate into daily life, no matter how busy you are. I have helped hundreds of people from all backgrounds and skill levels. Join me today to start your transformation journey.

Thank you @bookbabyofficial for helping me release my magic into the world.

This book could not have been possible without my dearest niece, @aalyanaillustrations , who at an early age was able to capture and illustrate her Tia Bua.
My friend, @theecollectiveband A. Hicks Sr., for bringing this book to life. My village @dayanadepena De Peña. My husband, Vivek, and our wonderful children, Maya, Kai, and Nico. love you more than love. We did it again! I am beyond grateful for all of you.
This book is dedicated to my beautiful children, nieces, nephews, God, and dream kids.

What a great time to be mixed, blended, colored and most importantly loved.

You cannot control your childhood, but you can control who you raise yourself to be. You are and always will be loved and cherished by me.

Tia Bua is beyond grateful to have been a part of the 5th-Night of 1,000 Dinners All Dolled Up for an International Cultural Celebration.

This Barbie themed event was filled with kindness, positivity, empowerment, awareness and excitement. I came as the new Diwali Barbie just released 10/4.

To experience Tia Bua, Believes In Your Magic books being auctioned off with Barbie Collectible's felt unreal and priceless.

My inner child was screaming with excitement when I was invited to recite my voting poem to an extraordinary group of strong, inspiring woman.

This event was filled with laughter and hope. Thank you to my dear friend Lisa Gittens Williams, MD for believing in my magic and for allowing me to be a part of yours.

Today we celebrate international day of the girl and I hope we continue to be knowledge donor's and inspire our young girls to stand in their power and run their world.

Sharing my voting poem:

Whether you are wealthy or poor, if you survived covid or a war, you have a voice, so make it ROAR 🦁!

ROAR 🦁, ROAR 🦁 loudly, so your future generation can speak of you proudly.

Stand in your power and let your voice ROAR 🦁!
May our future be led with kindness, which is the movement I ROAR 🦁 for!
