About us
Helping you find your balance—and lead from it
Tanu
I was born in a small town in India, the second of three sisters in a middle-class family where hard work, success, and money were deeply ingrained values. Life wasn’t always easy—my parents were separated for 13 years, and we learned early on to rely on each other. I started working right after college to support my family, throwing myself into my career with relentless drive. Promotions, accolades, and bigger roles followed, and by the time I moved to Europe in 2015, I was thriving in high-pressure leadership positions, leading teams, negotiating deals, and driving results.
But what no one saw was the other side of it all.
Despite all the success, I was carrying my own share of struggles—unhealthy relationship patterns, deep-rooted family trauma, and unhealthy coping mechanisms. I drowned out the discomfort by pushing harder, focusing only on work, chasing the next goal, the next milestone. If I could just achieve more, maybe everything else would make sense.

And yet, something kept nagging at the back of my mind.
It started in 2020, when I lost someone very close to me. The questions I had ignored for years grew louder: What truly matters? What am I chasing? The drive for success hadn’t disappeared—but I started wondering, where’s the balance?
That’s when I began exploring—first Nichiren Buddhism, then meditation, then Spinal Energetics and Breathwork. A therapist and coach helped me untangle my own patterns, and I realized that while ambition is valuable, it isn’t everything. People matter. Time matters. We matter.
Balance Works is my way of paying it forward.
Not because I have it all figured out—far from it. But because I know what it’s like to navigate challenges without guidance, to push forward without support. I want to be that person for others—whether you’re a creative trying to stay inspired, a professional seeking more meaning beyond the next deadline, a stay-at-home dad rediscovering your identity, a student unsure of your next step, a retiree exploring what’s next, an entrepreneur holding big dreams, or someone simply feeling that there must be more to life than just work. Maybe you’re curious, questioning, or quietly searching for a deeper connection—with yourself, with others, with purpose. At BalanceWorks, there’s space for all of that. Whoever you are, wherever you are—we’re here for you.
Balance Works is also deeply shaped by my background. I bring in practices, wisdom, and energy from both India and Europe, blending the analytical with the intuitive. Having worked internationally for 20 years, I know that one size does not fit all. I curate my approach—whether in consulting, coaching, or well-being—to what truly fits the person or team in front of me.
While I loved the intensity of my corporate career—the boardroom battles, the negotiations, the challenge of building businesses—what I loved most was the people. Building teams. Growing with them. Having each other’s backs. That’s why people remain at the heart of everything I do.
And if I’m even two steps ahead in one area, I’m here to bring others along with me.
