Client Stories
"Three generations, one kitchen — I couldn't cook separate 'diet' meals. With Shobana, I learned to balance our regular South Indian food, add the right protein, and keep it practical. Still losing inches. Feeling stronger than ever."
"I was always active — yoga, pole dancing, pottery. Yet I couldn't move past 130 lbs. With Shobana, we stopped overdoing everything and balanced my routine. I've finally crossed my plateau and feel fitter than ever."
"During a Transform Tuesdays session I realised I was being far harsher with myself than I'd ever be with my own children. Once I found my deeper why, everything shifted. In just 4–5 weeks, my sleep improved and the bloating and gut issues I'd had for months are noticeably better."
"Three years of Usha building healthy habits at home quietly transformed her husband too — better food, more movement, consistent sleep. 25 lbs in 6 months, wearing jeans he hadn't fit into in 10 years. Cholesterol ↓ · Triglycerides ↓ · LDL ↓ · HbA1c ↓"
"I was really doubtful about myself — whether I could fit in. But slowly, Coach Shobana made me comfortable and eager."
"Now I do 10,000 steps daily, strength training twice a week, and eat a balanced diet — without giving up our favourite foods. It has truly transformed me — strong, independent, confident."
Then the roles reversed. The woman her family worried about became their role model.
When her daughter enrolled her, the goal was simple: get her diabetes under control and get her moving. At 70+, with joint pain limiting her mobility, even that felt like a big ask.
Her blood sugar numbers improved. Her joints stopped holding her back. And then one day, she got on a cycling machine at the gym.
"It is never too late. And sometimes, the best gift you can give the woman you love is the support to finally prioritise herself."

Two women. Two completely different paths. One outcome: a life reclaimed.
Usha's Story
USA · Chronic back pain · 2-year journey
18 lbs lost in total Fits smaller size clothes
Usha came to Coach Shobana two years into building a sustainable lifestyle — not a beginner, but someone who had already done the hard work of changing her habits and was ready to go further.
The challenge? Chronic back pain that didn't follow a schedule. Some weeks she could train. Some weeks, even getting up was a victory.
Instead of fighting her body, they worked with it. The focus shifted to what she could control:
- Tracking nutrition consistently
- Strength training when symptoms allowed
- Adjusting the plan during flare-ups
- Always returning to routine after setbacks
The result? 18 lbs lost in total — consistently, despite every setback. But the number isn't the whole story.
"Can't believe that I am able to fit into my smaller size clothes 🥰"

Success isn't never falling off track. It's learning how to get back on track.
Sujata's Story
UK → India
Mindfulness-first approach 2–3 inches off abdomen In just one month
Sujata always thought she was eating right. Clean meals, no junk — she was doing everything she was supposed to. So why wasn't the weight moving?
When she came to Coach Shobana, instead of changing what she ate, they looked at how she was eating. The diagnosis: her habits were right, but her relationship with food wasn't.
They started with mindfulness — not a diet. Three simple shifts:
- Eating slowly and stopping at 80% full
- Having just half a sweet at a time
- Moving away from the main sweet box — distance creates choice
Within one month — 2–3 inches lost from her abdomen. No crash diet. No punishment. Just awareness.
If you're wondering why "eating right" isn't working for you either — the answer might not be what you're eating. It might be how.
Sujata did her entire transformation while living in the UK. She built the skills, the habits, and the self-trust — and carried them with her when she moved back to India. Today, she's part of Coach Shobana's team, helping other women find their own way.
