Her Transformation Story
The Decision That Changed Everything
Sunanda made a single, courageous decision: to invest in herself. What followed was a five-year discipline of rising at 3:00 AM, eating right, moving daily, and protecting her inner world with the same intensity she applied to her body.
The Education
Committed to doing things properly, Sunanda pursued expert-level training at INFS, one of India's most rigorous evidence-based nutrition and fitness institutions. She graduated as an Expert-Level Nutrition & Fitness Consultant, then went on to certify as an NLP Practitioner and Meditation & Mindfulness Coach.
The Coach Is Born
Having lost 37 kgs and rebuilt her life from the inside out, Sunanda stepped into her calling. She joined FITTR and began coaching, and has never stopped.
The Journey So Far
What began as Sunanda's work as a fitness coach became a journey inward. She came to see that true healing can't come from the body alone; it begins within. That led her to Amrit Vela: meditation, silence, and prayer. Today, her 21-day guided journeys at 4:30 a.m. bring people from across the world and across faiths together each morning to heal, grow, and reconnect, and the same mornings that once changed her life now transform the lives of thousands.

for peace, for purpose, for a place to belong.
Then came Amrit Vela.
In its silence, the noise dissolved.
In its prayers, I found a voice I had forgotten.
In its mornings, I met myself again,
and realised I had never truly been lost,
only waiting to be still enough to be found."
