About Deepa Mahesh
Deepa Mahesh facilitates Conscious Leadership Journeys enabling ambitious leaders achieve Success with Self-Mastery. Through coaching, workshops, and training, she enables her coachees and clients envision and manifest a life of balance that promises professional and personal wellbeing.
Wellbeing and Balance are our natural state of being, a state we access when there is least inner resistance in the form of unresourceful thoughts, emotions, and limiting beliefs. Deepa’s deepest desire is to enable ambitious leaders pause and root in their vision, ambitions, core values and resourceful thoughts so that they are able to shoot to their highest potential and live a life of joy and fulfilment.
I am on a mission to impact millions of ambitious Leaders, professionals and Visionaries to achieve Success and live to their highest potential while being Conscious of their Inner world of thoughts and emotions. I commit to enabling Inside-out transformation for living fulfilled
A desire for deep, authentic work nudged Deepa to create a trilogy, a unique blend of psychology, expressive arts and spiritual science. Being a strong mental health advocate and a thorough OD professional for years gives an extra edge to her body of work.
Deepa’s work is experiential and facilitative. She believes that the client who raises a question also holds the answers deep within. Her role is to create a container through her presence and hold the structure through strategically framed goals to allow the client’s answers to show up thereby achieving sustainable success. In essence, she integrates the world of the west and the east, of psychology and spirituality, of structure and flow in her work.
As our clients walk out of the coaching and workshop space, they have deep clarity on their inner world of beliefs , thoughts and emotions. At Poorna Wellbeing, there is nothing more rewarding for us than to see the coachee’s and participants anchored and rooted in themselves, which, in turn, attracts and manifests the success they desire.
Those at the top leadership rung, find a neutral space with Deepa Mahesh to share their innermost thoughts, dilemmas and confusions. For many, Self-Mastery is a continuous process, as peeling layer after layer of masks and unresourceful patterns leads to the discovery of our personal power.
Deepa embodies transformation. Her life’s mission is to enable deep transformation in humanity.

‘I am Not Good Enough’ to a Confident Entrepreneur
Born in a religious, conservative Brahmin family, she grew up in an atmosphere that was contrary to her free-spirited nature, morphing her into someone she was not. She followed everything obediently and became more and more dependent on others while curbing all her desires and dreams. She felt fragmented, she was splitting into a Deepa that she would believe as authentic.
She became what she was labelled as ‘a not good enough person’. And this feeling seeped into every area of her life as she grew up, be it motherhood, work-life, cooking, managing her home, and every other aspect. She never aimed high, never believed she can excel in anything. She enjoyed learning classical dance and music but left it midway like with everything else she did. It was because of this nagging belief and the constant pressure to excel (by someone else’s standards), she could never live her truth. She could never speak out or make decisions because she never knew how to. She lived in intense fear and emotional trauma, aspects about self she discovered much later in life.

In her professional life as an HR Leader, she excelled in her work and was recognized by her superiors and stakeholders. However, it never gave her any satisfaction. It always felt like a “Bottomless pit”, yearning for more and more appreciation but nothing would satisfy her ever. This continued until realization dawned on the day she was about to receive the Best HR team award. She was not joyous working here, she quit not knowing what lay ahead.
Then embarked on a conscious journey of self-discovery, self-inquiry, learning, and more learning. In the decade that followed, she immersed herself in life changing experinces – spirituality, psychology, life story work, expressive arts to heal self, mind body connection, self love as a healing for her psoriasis, allowing sisterhood in her life, serve humanity through volunteering, read the scriptures, to name a few. She was transforming, blooming and uncovering her true self, her true potential. She was embodying Root to Shoot transformation.
Thereafter, there was no stopping. Deepa embarked on her mission to find and live her truth. Having realized her real essence, she began sharing her learning to help others in their path of transformation and self-discovery. In 2019, she founded Poorna Wellbeing.

7 TO 21 Years - A SPLIT WITHIN
Read More
The primary thought I nurtured about myself was “I am not good enough”. This was my truth. So, I depended heavily on others for everything and in that I chained myself.
21 TO 42 Years – An INNER-OUTER SPLIT
I lived in the outer realm forgetting my inner darkness.
Read More
However, the void and the darkness inside grew. I was searching for something, for someone to fill my “Bottomless Pit”.
Each time I thought I found that person, experience, or object, I settled and travelled to the colourful outer. But without them, I quickly delved back to my dark inner, an inconsolable and lonely space.
My only respite was that I never stopped asking myself who I was. I longed to be my happy self without the aid of external factors but couldn’t find my way to that experience.
My yearning to find lasting joy grew with every experience of temporary happiness. The contrast brought me closer to my inner reality.
42 to 44 Years - A BREAKTHROUGH
The answer to what I was seeking, the truth unfolded before me.

I discovered the true meaning of my life experiences and worked through my trauma and beliefs with therapy, coaching, workshops, self-inquiry techniques, art, to name a few.
I became a Life-Long-Learner, a learner of the “Power of Myself”.
Now, I radiate the same inner energy outside too and touch numerous lives through my Being.
Finally, I am aligned. I am true to my name (Light).
I feel a completion within and outside. I am in awareness of my Divinity, my Power, my light. I am Rooted! I have arrived Home Within!
Today,
I hold the seed and the flower.

There is no restlessness anymore.
I have found my answers, yet I am a lifelong seeker.
I love my life on this earth and look forward to more unfolding of experiences and more layers coming to my consciousness.
I bow down to the wisdom my life offers.
I engage in my daily practices that keep me Rooted deep to Shoot higher.
I AM THAT!
Mandalas
The symbols and images represented in the mandalas come from the depths of the subconscious mind of the practitioner, and they have deep significance.
For Deepa, the mandala practice is a path to self-awareness and self-expression. Every stroke in the mandala has been synchronised with her breath and that makes it feel like a breathing image.
Self-Mastery practice
As you see each image, reflect on “What does this image invoke in me?”
Either journal or reflect and allow the inquiry to lead you deeper into yourself.

Poems
What is Success?
Success is about integrating,
Success is about acting based on my values
Success is when I ground myself deeply,
In order to access the possibilities above.
Success is when I find the warmth and comfort,
Within and without.
Success isn’t about comparing or contrasting with the other,
Read More
It is in the recognition that ‘Each journey is unique’.
Success is about knowing the nuances,
And striving towards leaving a legacy.
Success is about creating spaciousness,
To hold and contain possibilities,
Just like a womb holds a baby.
Success is about achieving a system of discipline,
And about sustaining it time and again.
Success is about seeding an idea,
Allowing it to root at its time.
Success for a hyper achiever is fear energy,
Success for a balanced achiever is flourish energy.
Success is Success,
At what cost?
Burnout or Growth.

Quotes are reflections and insights emanating from her daily spiritual practices, coaching practice, and/or her workshop facilitation.
The absence of unresourceful experiences does not guarantee the feeling of resourcefulness. Accessing the state of resourcefulness is a conscious and continuous pursuit.
