Coaching Reviews
(Book reviews here)
Let me begin by saying I have resisted counselling or coaching for years, even decades. In fact I refused to even acknowledge that I had issues that were affecting me at all, believing myself to be out of the problems that once sent me spiralling into debilitating depression.
Then a friend of mine recommended Geeta as being 'very different '!
So, we began our journey to my self discovery and reinvention. It was not all smooth, I found suppressed guilts and fears. But she gently led me at my own pace to a realization and place of comfort.
Thave her book to turn to now, to reinforce her coaching but her methods and self affirmation exercises are now ingrained habits.
I still have trigger points, who doesn't. But I recognised them, I advocate for myself, I am confident enough to walk away and skilled enough not to damage relationships that are dear to me.
All this in less than a year! And I know she's there to support me if I need her help at any point. Everyone should be lucky enough to find a coach like her

Geeta is a wonderful Coach! Her book "You Are The Cake" and her coaching strategies are full of wisdom, insight, and logically sound principles. As I applied her teachings, I felt an empowerment that opened up a world of possibilities for me. I originally decided to hire Geeta so I could receive Coaching alongside my Son. It was simply to set an example for him. I wasn't sure l even needed any help. As a 60 year old I had read just about every self-help book, taken Psych classes in college and gained wisdom through life experience. Boy was I wrong!
There is always more to learn! Geeta has helped me live life with more awareness, more peace and more empowerment than ever before. No matter where you are in life, her techniques will help improve your day to day living and bring you more overall peace and joy.

Beyond outstanding. I have been working with Geeta for several years and she made an immeasurable positive impact on my life.
It is hard to imagine someone more generous, thoughtful, kind and genuinely dedicated to another's well being. Our sessions are always a highlight, and have taught me to realign my thoughts and intentions and have given me the sense that I can tackle any situation or challenge that I'm faced with. She is open minded and will embrace any personal philosophies or inclinations that you come with and will help bring out the best that you have. I have had a tremendous experience working with her and would highly recommend.

Friend, philosopher and guide.
Apparently a term coined for a great teacher, one like Aristotle was to Alexander the Great.
That's what Geetanjali Arunkumar is to me. But, not in quite that order.
Serendipity is a wonderful asset and I have been blessed by the presence of those princes of yore, often. I had been through emotional abuse and pushed it all down deep within, not having the energy or time to deal with examination of my feelings.
Life went on, decades of progress and happy events. But, suddenly some minor worries added up to a major stress and broke through to the depression within. I felt unworthy, I felt like a failure, I couldn't eat healthy any longer, lost the motive to do what I had previously loved, I slept at odd times and couldn't sleep to wake refreshed. I snapped at the slightest excuse and cried without any.
I didn't think anyone could understand or help and hated being told I needed to 'see' someone.
Then my friend suggested her cousin, Geeta. Just before my trip to the USA. She was nowhere near where I was going to be.
I was given her number. I didn't call, kept putting it off. Why would she respond? How would she respond?
She called me! Just to chat. I felt guilty about not calling her and incoherently tried to explain. She didn't push, just asked if we could chat sometime.
Then she asked if I would do one exercise for her? Self-affirmation every day. It didn't matter if I didn't believe, I should just say it or write it, even just think it every day.
So she became my guide, my Gu-ru, the dispeller of darkness.
Little by little she showed me how to find my own path. How there was no wrong or right, only darkness or light, and to walk towards what was one's own Light.
She shared her Life's learnings with me, fearlessly baring her scars, her healing. She taught me to know myself, forgive myself and love myself.
My wise philosopher. I found every time she said something, she provoked me to find my own meaning and it therefore endured. Not a parroting of her words but a meaningful forward path for me!
She reached out and inquired after my wellbeing, I found myself looking forward to her calls. Uplifted by hearing her cheery voice. My friend. Old is Gold but this New is Precious!
Guide, philosopher, friend!
'Thanks' is inadequate. A salute is too formal. Affectionate physical gestures are too casual.
I hope she knows what she means to me!

I had the privilege of being introduced to Geeta’s book “You Are the Cake” in mid 2019, pre -pandemic when I felt stuck and had hit a brick wall. She suffered from a debilitating chronic illness and she shares this in her book. As she brought out the layers of our submerged inner self with the cake and kitchen analogy it was so relatable. Her restocking of the kitchen was a mind shifting way of looking within and examining our own pitfalls and delusions. Finally methodically moving towards offering a recipe for happiness and a practical plan of action for sustenance helped me move towards my own joy. Her attentiveness and intuition helped guide me to make the shift of learning to love myself and be the authentic me. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a life transformative experience as I trust in her ability, integrity, humanity and a gift to bring out the best in people.

I always call Geeta Earth Angel. Because she’s always there to watch over me and help me with handling life’s, “bring me downers”, hardships ,and issues. Geeta is a pool of experiences, through all that she’s gone through and through helping others in need.
Her web site defines exactly, what I learned in her class.
I was able to acknowledge my fears, the negatives which were like a stoplight which is always red, and never turns green, she was able to brush off the dust which covered them, and brought them up to the surface.
Through her sessions, I was able to replace the negatives with positives , and empower myself to do so. Much work, left to do. Luckily, she put me on the path to a speedy change towards happiness. I try to work on her teachings daily.
Thank you, my earth angel,

Geeta is mature, patient, and wise. She is very knowledgeable from her own personal experiences, coaching others over the years, her research and learning. A very good listener, compassionate, sincere, caring. Her kind words start healing me and I gain clarity. She listens patiently and talks calmly and slowly and I feel safe and warm around her. In fact she even offers me a warm cup of herbal tea to feel at ease and relax while explaining any challenging situations that I go to her for advice and guidance. Her choice of words to suggest solutions and construct emails is excellent and she coaches me very well on how to respond to challenging people.
Geeta always acknowledges my feelings first and is very attuned to help me keep my thoughts coherent.
She knows when and how to be tough when she really wants me to change my approach and take specific action. Her eagerness to help others makes her very apt in this role. She gives good career and ongoing work-related advice too. Geeta is very adept in coaching various age groups and generations.
P.S.Sales & Marketing
Geeta introduced me to highly effective techniques that I either hadn't known about or hadn't put into practice in my life. Her systematic step by step approach gets results. In addition, she has the following outstanding qualities that set her apart from fellow professionals:
1. Very intuitive. She "gets" things rapidly and accurately, which saves a lot of time in getting past the basics and making progress.
2. Very generous in spirit. She really cares and really wants you to do well. It's nice having someone who really cares at your back
3. Very grounded. This helps when you are going through wobbly phases - she can maintain a healthy equilibrium and not get thrown by any twists and turns you may have in your path.
It's been a privilege and pleasure working with Geeta - I highly recommend her for coaching.

Geeta can relate to you on different levels in all areas. Her personal experiences have shaped her to be a very compassionate and understanding person. Her advice is down to earth and after your conversation with her you have an ‘Aha’ moment.
