Denise Sohandev Wellness

Denise Sohandev Wellness Personal Growth Mentor I am a believer in the innate healing powers of the body.

As a practitioner of Gabor Matè’s Compassionate Inquiry technique and an NLP Master Coach, I help clients unearth the root cause of their behaviours. I use these 2 modalities along with over 20 years of therapeutic yoga and breathwork experience to create an individualised healing experience for my clients. Having worked intimately with the body since 2007 I am passionate about guiding people to understand the complexities of the mind-body connection. One of my passions is to take the somewhat esoteric teachings of ancient yogic philosophy and practice, and present them in a way that is easily accessible to a contemporary lifestyle, using the ancient wisdom to create a full, rich and meaningful life in the 21st century. It is my belief that each client can be empowered to navigate the flow of life with grace and ease. I am a wife, mother and eternal student, taking the path less traveled on this journey of life.

Today is no different than any other day.
Unless you choose it to be so.

Instead of the regular “resolutions”…
Lose 10kg, give up carbs etc etc

Why not visualise their person you want to be in Dec 2026, and work backwards? In order to achieve that I need to do these things.

I need to take away…
I need to add in…

And then the path isn’t a punishment, it’s a reward. I’m not denying myself chocolate, I’m offering myself health.

I’m not forcing myself to workout, I’m sustaining my body.

Humans love ritual and symbolism and today is simply an invitation to choose who you are going to be for the next 12 months.

I’m going to find a quiet space.
Light a candle.
Visualise what I want to achieve.
Plot the steps I need to get there.
Consider the challenges I might face.
Breathe into it.
Play with some tarot cards.

Today will be a precipice, because that’s what I’ll make it.

How will you honour this new cycle?

Midlife weight loss is not failing because you are doing it wrong.
It is failing because the advice is incomplete.

Harvard Health confirms that falling oestrogen shifts fat to the abdomen and increases sensitivity to cortisol. When stress stays high, the body prioritises survival over fat loss.

Protein helps.
Exercise helps.
But without stress regulation, they hit a ceiling.

The body does not let go when it feels under threat.

This is not about doing less.
It is about doing smarter.

2026 is the year you level up.
Not by forcing resolutions or hoping this year will feel different, but by understanding how real change happens in your brain and body.

The newest neuroscience is clear. Lasting transformation happens when you bring awareness to your patterns, choose aligned action, and repeat small steps that create new neural pathways. This is the foundation of intentional living and the heart of creating a life that feels meaningful.

That is why I created the free Create a Life You Love workbook. It helps you get clear on what matters, release old habits, and design your next chapter with purpose and confidence.

If you are ready for a powerful start to 2026, comment CREATE and I will send it to you.

2026 is your year of intention and purpose!

It’s the year you choose intention over resolutions and step into a life that feels aligned, purposeful, and grounded in who you CHOOSE to be.

If you want real change, you need to work with your brain, not against it. The latest neuroscience shows that clarity, micro shifts, and consistent intentional action create the strongest foundation for transformation.

My free Create a Life You Love mini workbook is designed to help you map out what you truly want, release what no longer fits, and enter 2026 with focus, confidence, and a clear direction.

What are you waiting for?
A sign.
Permission.
The perfect moment.

There is no perfect moment.
There is only the moment you decide to rise.

The adventure of Being You begins the second you stop abandoning yourself and start choosing the person you are becoming.
This is where real change happens.
This is where clarity, confidence, and purpose take root.

If you are ready to do the inner work with structure, support, and evidence based tools, Self Mastery is your next step.

January bookings are now open.
If you want to explore whether this is the right path for you, send me a message and we can book a discovery call.
Your next chapter starts with one decision.
