Apinder Sidhu

Intuitive Coach and Healer

I knew from a young age that my life was always going to centre around helping and supporting others, which has been further highlighted in my career and pathway choices, through years of learning and training, as an employee and now as a Coach and Healer. I grew up in a large family where I looked after my young siblings and was a carer from a young age, helping my parents whilst they were at work.

When I reached an age to decide on a vocation and career, I chose teaching, especially as I had a love for my subject area of History. I always believed, and still do, that learning about our past can help us make better choices for our future, both collectively as humans and as individuals. Learning about my heritage and about the world shaped how I felt about my environment and what I could do to help others. My faith as a Sikh is about being of service to others but ensuring I stay true to myself, values I hold very dear and underpin my life and healing practice.

In 1999 I was first introduced to delivering sessions on motivation and confidence building, which was an early framework of coaching. However, the importance of coaching and self-development was not fully recognised as it is today, therefore I didn’t initially pursue this avenue as a career although it felt very familiar and authentic to me. Then in 2013, I was once again drawn to coaching and decided to pursue formal training. The realisation of what a difference coaching can make to an individual’s life when they engage in a coaching session, was very profound. When my client took steps to work towards eliminating their limiting beliefs and realising their potential, it is such a joy to witness how their perspective aboout their life changed completely and they raised their awareness on their self evolution.

As my coaching journey progressed, I came to realise and understand that the individuals I was working with and attracting to my business were holding pain, trauma and often a negative belief system. At this time, alongside my professional coaching I embarked further on my own journey, connecting into my spiritual work. At first I did not realise that in the future these two areas of my life would become greatly intertwined. Initially when I trained to become an Akashic Records reader and Healer, I kept the two sides of my work very separate. However, slowly my intuition guided me to help support my clients in the various areas of their lives by combining traditional coaching techniques and models such as goal setting but to include practices such as visualisation, meditation, releasing and manifesting. This holistic combination has worked well towards healing and awakening my clients’ desire to let go of experiences, thoughts, emotions and beliefs that no longer serve them and then to move forward by engaging in making changes so that they could embrace the opportunity to living their most purposeful life.

Authenticity, transformation, acceptance and being purposeful are all important elements of my practice, but ultimately my work is about holistically and energetically supporting the healing process of the person I am working with, which can take various forms from talking, meditating, laughing and crying - all with large doses of compassion, kindness and love.
