Priyanka Mehra has over 13 years of experience working in clinics and gyms dealing with health, weight management and injuries. She is best known for getting to the root causes of poor health and weight issues designing evidence-based programs that keep the problems away.
She has taught Yoga and creative dance in many cities. Priyanka is a writer, blogger, public speaker a proud mother of a child who knew she was born in the wrong body at 4 years old. “Be who you are,” Priyanka told her daughter as school, clothes, family gatherings and pronouns became increasingly difficult. Each day was another opportunity to live authentically, but there were abundant learning curves and life lessons around every corner.
When Pryanka isn’t writing books, she educates organizations, individuals, families and schools about the unique challenges gender diverse and transgender children and their parents live with every day: talking with siblings, bullying, handling issues at school, transitioning, using appropriate bathrooms, creating name changes, using correct pronouns, talking with family members and friends who don’t understand and meeting all life’s challenges and successes with honesty, honor and humanity.
Her upbringing would include training in philosophy, the arts, marketing, and meditative practices. This steep-curve growth process was shepherded by no less than eight mentors: swamis, yogis, artistic directors, scholars, writers and an economist.
Priyanka has the capacity to pique people’s curiosity about alternative possibilities, not in some coming paradise but right here now, at work, in your living room, in your car, wherever you may be. Her purpose is to ignite moments of self-realization and blow then into a warming flame that stays with you to transform what you do, how you do it, and who you are.
