Signature coaching framework
The PH Process: living by design, not by conditioning
A coaching framework built on more than 25 years of clinical training, blending Eastern and Western perspectives. Available virtually, anywhere in the U.S.
What is the PH Process?
A way of relating to yourself
Not a program with a fixed finish line. A steady practice you keep growing into.
The foundation
The PH Process is a way of relating to yourself, with curiosity instead of judgment. You do not graduate from it. You grow with it.
Subjective harmony
Your own balance, aligned with your core truth. You close the gap between what others expect and who you really are, at a pace that feels safe.
Grounded in practice
It draws on Gestalt therapy, existential approaches, and two decades of substance use counseling.
"The PH Process is about evolving, slowly and steadily, and becoming the individual in reality that aligns with one's core truth at a pace that feels safe and authentic."
DR. SERENA WADHWA
How it is different
You lead. She guides.
Sessions are collaborative, not prescriptive. Nothing is handed to you that does not fit.
01
Write your own affirmations
Words that come from you, not from a script, so they feel true.
02
Design your own experiments
Small, practical steps you create together, sized to your real life.
03
Set your own pace
Slow, steady change that feels safe, so it lasts.
