About me
Sustainable success begins within.
I'm Dr Akshaya Shetty — entrepreneur, emotional wellness and relationship coach, based in Dubai. I help high-achieving women who appear successful but struggle with chronic people-pleasing, self-abandonment and unhealthy relationship patterns.
After more than two decades in healthcare, I became fascinated by a question medicine alone couldn't answer: why do people know exactly what to do, yet struggle to consistently become the person they want to be?
That question led me beyond clinical practice into the study of human behaviour, mindset, emotional resilience, yoga, breathwork and holistic wellbeing. Today I work at the intersection of science, psychology and entrepreneurship — helping people build clarity, emotional intelligence and high-performance habits that translate into better decisions, stronger leadership and more fulfilling lives.
Through one-to-one coaching, I help clients move beyond burnout, self-doubt and limiting patterns to cultivate confidence, healthy boundaries, emotional resilience, authentic relationships and a greater sense of purpose. So success is no longer achieved at the expense of wellbeing, but through alignment and inner freedom.
Alongside coaching, I build purpose-driven ventures combining innovation, wellness and consumer experience.
