About Usha

I help people find peace, purpose, and balance by reconnecting to who they are and their energy within.

Usha Raman

Your coach

Hi, I'm Usha!

I'm a certified Master Life Coach, NLP Master Practitioner, Mindfulness and Emotional Intelligence Trainer, and Yoga practitioner.

I've spoken on international arenas, led hundreds of workshops, and guided people from all walks of life to reconnect with themselves.

But beyond the titles, I'm simply someone who believes in the power of awareness, compassion, and energy to change lives.

In the earlier part of my life, I thought balance meant getting everything "right." The right habits. The right mindset. The right plan.

But what I eventually learned through my own healing, burnout, and growth is that real balance doesn't come from control. It comes from alignment.

My story

How I Got Here

I've been teaching, speaking, and guiding others for over 20 years — but my path began long before the certifications and credentials.

It was mindfulness and emotional intelligence that helped me heal — and later, understanding an inner unshakeable balance that allowed me to truly thrive.

Like many others, I've walked through loss, trauma, chronic pain and physical abuse; and rebuilding myself from the inside out.

Today, I bring together everything I've learned — the science of emotion, the wisdom of mindfulness, coaching frameworks, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, and the subtle awareness of energy — into practical coaching that helps people return to their centre.

The method

My Approach

My work is about creating awareness first — helping you see the patterns driving your thoughts, emotions, and behaviour. From there, we gently rebalance.

Neuro Linguistic Programming and Timeline Therapy

Mindfulness practices to build awareness and calm

Emotional intelligence frameworks to strengthen clarity and communication

Intuitive Coaching to bring harmony and purpose back to life

Practical tools and reflection exercises to ground it all in real-world change

It's both grounded and intuitive — structured to create results, but spacious enough to allow growth at your pace and unique journey.

The philosophy

What I Believe

I believe everyone holds the inner power to living a full, balanced and meaningful life.

When we find that balance within, we stop searching for peace — we become it.

Balance isn't just the goal. It's the foundation of love, creativity, confidence, and connection.

Experience

Background

Training & Speaking

Since 2004 I have trained people from many countries, in a variety of contexts — universities, schools, businesses, conferences and volunteer organisations. I was a lecturer in Events Management at the Institute of Technical Education in Singapore. In Australia, I was a trainer in the Australian College of Applied Education for students doing their diploma in hospitality. Since school, I was used to being an emcee at school events and was in the debate club. This carried on even in my career in the events management industry where I have emceed numerous events from weddings, pageants, corporate events and more.

Mindfulness

My interest in Mindfulness and related practices goes back nearly 20 years. I've studied and practiced widely in both eastern and western views on the topic, particularly how it relates to emotional intelligence. As a certified life coach, educator and trainer, I have trained hundreds of people in my career. I have organised and run countless self-empowerment programs both professionally and voluntarily for diverse audiences and have always included mindfulness as a key component. Recently, to further my learning in mindful movement, I became certified as a yoga instructor.

Emotional Intelligence

I have a variety of experience in this area, both formal and informal. As a lifelong learner, I've gathered a list of formal certifications as a Master Life Coach, Behavioural Analyst, Entrepreneurial Mindset Profile Practitioner, NLP master practitioner and train the trainer. I have organised and attended countless workshops, retreats, seminars and personal development courses relating to emotional intelligence. Informally, I have been an avid volunteer for over 22 years and have worked extensively with Non-Profit-Organisations in Australia and regionally on various community projects in relation to mental health and emotional well-being.
