ABOUT ME
Hi I’m Virupa,
it’s great to connect with you here!
In 2018 I hit rock bottom with anxiety, stress, insomnia and burnout, shortly after commencing my first job as a junior doctor. The unaddressed emotional wounds from my past, together with a highly demanding job, night shifts and little time for rest, my system had decided this was breaking point. I was deeply unfulfilled in life. My self-worth was painfully low, I had become highly self-critical and struggled with perfectionism, comparison and lack of trust in life. I was a people pleaser and didn’t know how to set healthy boundaries, which left me feeling emotionally drained. I was disconnected from my pleasure, sensuality and creativity. My physical health was affected, I had troublesome gut symptoms, headaches and hormonal imbalances.
This led me to spirituality, personal development and the exploration of various healing modalities to help me regain strength and health over the following years. I was supported by different teachers and therapists in the fields of yoga therapy, naturopathy, psychotherapy, osteopathy, energy healing, womb healing, sex and relationship coaching, psychedelic therapy and more. I worked part time hours as a doctor in hospital, community and private settings, including intensive care during the pandemic.
Outside of my time at work, I devoted myself to my growth and healing. I learned how to truly care for myself, to nourish myself and give myself the love I knew I was so worthy of. I started to honour my empathic nature and sensitivity as a gift. I began to celebrate my differences and really value all that I am!
Through my personal journey, I learned that the nature of health and wellness encompasses body, mind and spirit. I was discovering things about myself, life and the world I had never explored or opened my mind to before.
As time went on, I was awakening spiritually and my purpose began to reveal itself.
My passion for supporting women, and the feminine, in multi-faceted ways, in service to all genders, all beings and all life on our planet became clear.
The darkness and toxicity in our world was showing itself to me in ways I wasn’t able to see previously. With this, the realisation of the light, healing power and divinity that exists within us all; and the work that is required to awaken this potential.
In 2022, I left my career in medicine as working as a medical doctor isn’t currently in alignment with my mission and vision.
A year prior to this, I became a certified Nutrition and Lifestyle coach. I am also trained in Reiki & Seichem Healing Levels I & II, a form of energy healing.
I spent 9 months in the Himalayas in Northern India in 2023, going deeper with my spiritual and transformative journey, receiving powerful activations from the lands and sacred temples. I am honoured to have provided 1-1 healing sessions for women and group empowerment workshops during my time there.
As of 2024, I am a certified sensual embodiment facilitator®, to guide sensual healing and authentic expression for women.
I am also trained in the fundamentals of life coaching.
My most important and valuable teachings are my life experiences, personal healing and Kundalini awakening. I have spent significant periods of time in solitude journeying into my Soul and meeting the depths of my being, clearing what no longer serves and awakening to the light within.
I am on the Priestess path of the Sacred Feminine. This is a path of devotion to life, unification of polarities to embody wholeness, Divine Love and the bridging of Heaven and Earth. It is an honouring of both spirit and matter, of masculine and feminine. It is a path of non renunciation, embracing the all and remembering oneness. I am most connected to the Goddesses of India, Ancient Egypt and the Sufi Path.
My vision for the future of healthcare is an integration between eastern and western medicine, holistic and allopathic modalities, science and intuition, in a multi-disciplinary, decolonial, life sustaining model that empowers individuals and communities to thrive in harmony with each other and the world.
I can’t say how or when we will get there, but like many others, I am here for the journey and am dedicated to my role in bringing this vision to life!
