Purvaja's Work

About Purvaja

Purvaja lives and breathes self-improvement, and loves to help her clients realize their full potential. How can you 'level up' in life? How do you show up in your work, and family life? These are some of the topics you can discuss with her. She also works with people from various cultural backgrounds to navigate the challenges of cultural differences. In her off time, she likes to switch off and catch up on her favourite reality TV shows.
