Anju's Ikigai

‘One World Family' is her motto, as she has had the opportunity to live through different experiences and been exposed to numerous cultures, which has enabled her to deepen her 'human connections' ability.

Her curiosity as a Human Connection enthusiast led her to gain certification as a Senior Certified Professional Coach with Coach Transformation Academy in 2019.
In March 2020, amidst the lockdown and turmoil of the global pandemic, she turned the negativity happening in the world into an opportunity and decided to also gain her certification as a Happiness and Mindfulness coach with Berkeley School of Well Being, California - ultimately to be able to bring more positivity to people during tough times.
Since then, it has been an exciting journey of coaching and training over hundreds of participants to embrace happiness through her Laughter Yoga and Happiness events and corporate workshops.
Anju has truly found her Ikigai - she loves what she does and strongly believes she provides people with the tools they need to embrace happiness.

With this app, she aims to reach out to the greater digital world to unlock human connection and impart immense hapiness."
