Nandhini Muralikrishnan’s journey

“Today, I can truly feel the transformation.”

“I feel so much stronger—physically as well as mentally. The biggest change for me has been the confidence I have gained in my own body and my own strength.”

Where she began

Nandhini Muralikrishnan started while navigating perimenopause alongside an existing health condition, feeling mentally low, physically weak and unsure of what her body could handle.

What changed

  • Built food and lifestyle changes gradually instead of using drastic rules
  • Progressed movement and strength around her individual needs and capacity
  • Used regular support and follow-up to work through difficult weeks
THE RESULT

She describes feeling physically and mentally stronger, walking for longer, lifting with more confidence, handling stress better and trusting her body again.

Read Nandhini Muralikrishnan’s full testimonial

When I started this six-month journey with Sushma, I was going through a very difficult phase. I was mentally and physically very weak, and with my existing health condition of multiple sclerosis, along with the changes I was experiencing during perimenopause, I was struggling to feel like myself.

Sushma has been absolutely amazing throughout this journey. What I really appreciate about her approach is that she never makes things feel overwhelming or unrealistic. She understands your individual needs, your health condition, your limitations, your lifestyle, and what is actually possible for you. She then makes the changes step by step in a way that feels practical, feasible, and completely doable.

With her guidance, there have been significant changes in my dietary intake and food habits. More importantly, these were not drastic changes that I felt I could never sustain. She showed me how small, practical changes could make a real difference, and gradually those changes became a natural part of my lifestyle.

Her support has been much more than just a coaching program. She followed up with me regularly, checked on my progress, understood where I was struggling, encouraged me, and patiently guided me through every step. At many points, she felt more like a friend who genuinely cared about how I was doing.

When I started, I was mentally very low and physically weak. Sushma kept reassuring me that this stage was manageable and that becoming stronger was absolutely possible.

And today, I can truly feel the transformation.

I feel so much stronger—physically as well as mentally. I have more confidence in my ability to lift weights, walk for longer periods, handle stress, and face challenges without feeling like I’m going to completely break down. The biggest change for me has been the confidence I have gained in my own body and my own strength.

I would strongly recommend Sushma to anyone going through perimenopause or looking to improve their strength, health, and overall well-being. She has a wonderful way of making you feel that the changes are not impossible—they are practical, achievable, and something you can genuinely incorporate into your everyday life.

Thank you, Sushma, for guiding me so patiently, supporting me consistently, and believing in me throughout this journey. You have helped me transform not just my habits, but also my strength, confidence, and mindset.

I’m truly grateful to you.
