These are exactly the conversations we need to keep having in our classrooms and workplaces.” Sara Anwar, Halton District School Board Strategic Communications Lead, Parent "I met Vaishali this year at a networking event, and it turned out to be one of the best things to happen to me in 2025! Through her ORA experience program, I’ve optimized both my personal and professional life like never before. We worked closely on developing my executive presence and the results were amazing. She also helped me navigate unexpected circumstances with calmness, awareness, and curiosity - along with finding solutions that benefit all parties involved. One of the most surprising and transformative elements of our time together were the somatic practices. They helped me unlearn deep-rooted behaviors that were no longer serving me. By becoming more attuned to my emotions and values, I was able to set goals that carry deeper meaning, making the pursuit of them feel more natural and fulfilling. As an employee benefits consultant, I see ORA experience being a strong and proactive approach for companies dealing with stressed employees, burnt-out employees, and disability management. I highly recommend working with Vaishali to anyone considering. It will be one of the best investments you make in yourself or your team. She meets you exactly where you are and helps you discover the way forward." Mitali Achalkar, Group Account Manager, Benefits Connect Canada
