My Journey: From Educator to Relationship Coach, Guided by the Light Within

Hi, I’m Shikha, a relationship coach specializing in marriage and parent-child coaching. With over 20 years of experience as an educator across various esteemed organizations in India, I have always been passionate about guiding and empowering individuals to achieve their fullest potential.

I am an alumna of Miranda House (Delhi University) and hold a Ph.D. in Political Science along with an MSc in Counseling. As a principal, my primary focus was to build strong bonds, foster healthy rapport, and unite my team to achieve both personal and professional goals. Leadership for me has always meant nurturing the strength within people and helping them shine.

While on a sabbatical, I experienced a profound realization—the desire to continue my passion and purpose, but in a different role. This calling led me to pursue a new journey as a relationship coach, where I help individuals and families build meaningful, resilient, and fulfilling relationships.


Rooted in Relationships

Growing up in a joint family, I was blessed to witness the beauty and strength of relationships. The love, care, blessings, and lessons I absorbed molded me into a compassionate, balanced, and empathetic individual. Relationships have always been the cornerstone of my life, and I believe they are the foundation for personal growth and happiness. My journey as an Army wife has further shaped me into a resilient and adaptable person. Navigating long separations and challenging field postings with dignity and courage has given me a deep understanding of the importance of emotional strength and adaptability in relationships. As a young mother who transitioned to an empty nester, I take pride in raising two wonderful children who have grown into kind and compassionate human beings. These diverse life experiences have enriched my perspective and prepared me to guide others with empathy and wisdom.

The Inspiration Behind Guiding Light

The name “Guiding Light” holds a very special and emotional place in my heart. It was born out of a deeply touching phase of my life, the loss of my beloved mother, Mrs. Deep. Those who have experienced the grief of losing a loved one understand the emptiness it creates. Despite my best efforts, I struggled to cope with the void her absence left. One night, as if through divine intervention, I saw my mother in a dream. She blessed me and encouraged me to move forward with a sense of purpose. A voice within whispered the name “DeepShikha.” In Indian origin, “Deep” means light, and “Shikha” means flame or spark. Together, DeepShikha symbolizes a flame that illuminates—a guiding light. To me, it represents the spark within ourselves that drives passion, creativity, and growth. This beautiful name, blending my mother’s name “Deep” and my own “Shikha,” became my heartfelt tribute to her love, values, and blessings. DeepShikha serves as my guiding light, inspiring me to stay true to my mission of empowering souls through compassion and kindness.

A New Chapter with Purpose and Passion

As I embark on this new journey as a relationship coach, I carry my mother’s love and the lessons life has taught me as guiding forces. My goal is to help individuals and families nurture strong, meaningful relationships while becoming the best versions of themselves. With the blessings of my loved ones and the divine light within, I hope to make a positive difference in the lives of those I guide—helping them heal, grow, and thrive in their relationships and personal journeys.
