Boundaries are a portal to more spaciousness, self-belief, and softness in your life.
WELCOME!
In this 6-week Boundaries course, you will:
discover choices that will help you feel less trapped in relationships
move through the anxiety and fear that come up when you wanna make a boundary
shift how your mind and body perceive and express boundaries
understand why we feel guilty and how to move with and through this feeling
break generational cycles so future generations feel safe to make boundaries too!
Boundaries are what you can give.
They live at the intersection of what others want from you and what you want for yourself.
“If I hadn’t joined this course, I would feel lost and stuck in the same patterns.” —Erica Gresham
My story
My boundary journey began with making boundaries with my parents, especially my mom.
My photo is kinda hilarious. How many boundary violations do you see? LOL.
For real though…
I was expected call daily, visit every weekend, tell them how much I spent on everything I bought, and let them know when I’d be getting home late. This might be a “common” experience for South Asian daughters, but it was not okay. I felt like I couldn’t be trusted even though I was an adult who graduated college, got a job, and was living on my own. This also made me not trust myself.
I was suffocated and exhausted. I didn’t even know who I was if I wasn’t pleasing my parents. I felt like I was taking 2 steps forward and 5 steps back.
Everything changed when I created boundaries.
And then there was my ex-husband who dictated where we would eat every night and was non-consensual with me in so many hurtful ways.
Everything changed when I created boundaries.
None of this was easy. I felt like shit. There were ruptures and fears of losing relationships. But I did it anyway because having a spacious life was more appealing to me than having a suffocated life.
Now you get to feel spacious and supported.
Are boundaries hard to make? YES. Is this why we need to make them? ALSO YES.
It might seem easier to just leave things as is. Our brains are happy to be in the same squishy shape as before.
It might seem harder because you don’t know what to say (or what to do depending on how the person responds).
Just like training a muscle, changing our brains can feel painful. But, in the end, you won’t regret the choices and joy you gain.
Because while what you say matters, what you value and the way your body leads with boundaries makes it sustainable.
This leads to softness and spaciousness, like a cozy hug.
LET’S GO! (In the softest, sweetest way)
boundaries are more than what you say
TWO COHORTS
I will facilitate two cohorts for this Boundaries Course
One BIPOC-only cohort for those who identify as Black, Indigenous, and/or People of Color. We will meet on Saturdays from 9-11a PT/12-2pm ET (March 18-April 22).
One cohort open to everyone. We will meet Tuesdays from 4-6pm PT/7-9pm ET (March 14-April 18).
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
Dimple Mukherjee
“I love how Nisha holds space. Our group felt so comfortable together, and I believe it had a lot to do with her facilitation style. Nisha’s presence and energy is so soothing.”

“Boundaries for BIPOC unfucked my brain. Being able to describe how I feel gave me strengthened sense of self and a reflection of how I have responded to things in the past and how I can respond moving forward.”
“But I feel guilty”
If you find yourself saying “I feel bad doing ______”, that’s the guilt talking. Guilt isn’t “bad”, it is information. This information is built by societal conditioning and self-protective mechanisms.
You might feel a responsibility to family, to the workplace, or to friends who have done so much for you (or not). The fact is that (1) guilt is not sustainable and (2) we are also responsible to ourselves.
Only attuning to what other people want doesn’t allow us to attune to ourselves. And when we attune to ourselves, we can…
create boundaries from a congruent place in our mind and body
have more self-compassion and give ourselves grace
remember our worth
I came out of a sweet plant medicine journey in 2022 saying…
“I no longer need the protection of guilt to feel like a good person”.
I want this for you too! Join the 6-week Boundaries course to build sustainable protection. If you identify as Black, Indigneous, and/or a Person of Color, there will be a cohort just for you!

More Testimonials!
This course was a warm, grounding space, and it reminded me of the things I cared about. I normally get really nervous to speak up, but we all had an opportunity to speak which speaks to Nisha’s ability to facilitate and encourage conversation.

Boundaries aren’t as hard for me anymore because I know that I am meeting folks at a space that is loving and safe for me, and them.

Hi! I’m Nisha!
I'm a Feminist Healing & Life Coach, Writer, and Speaker. That’s WHAT I do. Other whats that I’ve done are that I have over 15 years of experience as a consultant, speech therapist, and librarian.
My WHO resides in my story, my values, the legacy I dream about, and the magic I cherish in relationship with myself and all other forms of life and land.
I thrive in relationships with others, especially when it comes to connecting the dots between societal expectations, personal and intergenerational trauma, our unique identities, as well as our dreams and desires.
My values are unlearning, vulnerability, curiosity, humility, connection, compassion, and liberation - though I see some of these shifting in the near future.
Collective care gives me delight!!! This is exactly why this is a group container, because community allows for capacity, care, and choice.
Want to meet with me before APPLYING?
I would be happy to chat with you if you have questions or concerns about the course. Or maybe you just want to meet me to foster your own safety. I celebrate all of this! Feel free to connect with me by making an appointment below.
