It’s hard to feel at ease when your brain’s always racing.

It’s hard to pause when life won’t stand still.

You’ve tried meditation, journaling, even that app everyone’s raving about… …but nothing sticks. What you need is…

A POCKETFUL OF PRESENCE.

Mindfulness, self-compassion, and quiet support — that fits into your real life… and your pocket.

I need Peace & Presence
Tell me if this sounds familiar…

Your mind is NEVER silent…

There’s a constant ticker tape of thoughts running through your head 24/7…
Lists of things you need to get done, and the order in which to do them (for maximum efficiency, of course).
Ideas that spark out of nowhere — from a post you read, or something you watched or a conversation you had two and a half years ago- ideas that then demand to be either acted on right away or filed away in the appropriate cabinet in your brain to be re-visited when you have a moment’s leisure but you never do, do you?
And then there’s the constant analysis of what you said and did, what you should have said and done, what it says about you that you said and did the things you said!

It’s exhausting, isn’t it? To have an inner voice that is ALWAYS criticising you no matter what you do, or how much, or how well you do it?

Or may be, your inner voice is NOT overtly critical. Mine wasn’t.  But she constantly came up ways for me to do things differently, to do them better, to take more responsibility than is humanly possible, until it seemed like…

 …nothing I ever did was quite right. 

I lived with a constant sense of wrongness. Yet I felt dependent on this inner voice. I thought she was the voice of my conscience.
She was the one who kept me good and moral and worthy of existing.
So I not only kept her around, but I cultivated my relationship with her until…

I felt fragmented and broken and just wrong inside, no matter what I did or said…

…Until I discovered mindfulness.

Mindfulness not only made me aware of this constant chatter inside me, but also gave me a way to quieten this voice and replace it with one that is less frenetic, less anxious… more loving and wise.

My brand of mindfulness isn’t the kind you’ll find on social media —

pastel pink promises of 24/7 bliss, if only you breathe your way through your worry and grief and rage.

Nor is the sort where you go away on a silent retreat (although I have the deepest reverence for Vipassana centres)
No. My version is gritty & real, both joyful & messy.
It toggles between ‘on-the-cushion’ mindfulness practice, &‘off-the-cushion’ in-the-moment mindfulness, when you want to scream at your toddler for spilling milk yet again, or your spouse for leaving wet towels on the bed. And don’t. Or do, but you navigate the yelling and guilt with compassion.

It’s the sort of mindfulness that meets what is, and who are you, right here – in mess and mundane-ness of life.
It’s built for people too busy to breathe… like I am as a mother and surgeon, writer and artist.
And it’s meant to fit seamlessly into your life … no matter what that looks like.

The 3 pillars of mindfulness…

-Mindfulness begins with learning to paying attention using the anchors of breath and body, movement and sensation… And using that awareness to shine a spotlight on the unconscious beliefs and behaviour patterns that keep us stuck and unhappy.

-The way out is through… We don’t bypass emotions here; we welcome them and befriend them so that you will no longer feel overwhelmed by emotions and instead, use the information and energy they bring.

-And then there’s self compassion…. the antidote for shame and the secret to sustainable change.

This is the ABC framework of mindfulness…

and it forms the foundation of A Pocketful of Presence.
(Since this framework is HOW mindfulness changed my life, it is basis of ALL the mindfulness teaching I do!)

What’s inside

This is why a Pocketful of Presence may be the missing piece for you…

It’s a 1:1 asynchronous container — a private Telegram (or Facebook) group with just two people:
✨ you and me ✨
This space is where we sit together and process what arises at the intersection of mindfulness and the messiness of life.
Each week, I’ll drop a guided audio practice rooted in the ABC framework — and shaped around what your life looks like that week.
I’m there to help you:
– Modify the practice so it suits you and your nervous system
– Stay with the practice when resistance shows up (and yes, even avoiding it is part of the practice)
– Unpack whatever surfaces as you become more mindful — the thoughts, the habits, the stories and stuck patterns
Because this is what often gets missed:
Mindfulness begins with the breath, the body, the senses, the movement…
But it always leads you into your inner world. And that is what needs to be held.
This is where I come in.
I bring my training in trauma-aware mindfulness and somatic trauma care, alongside a decade of personal practice…
-to help you stay present with whatever comes up,
-gently orient you toward self-compassion, and -walk beside you as you learn to meet yourself with kindness, not judgment.
This isn’t a self-paced course, or a library of meditations that leaves you to navigate both the practice and everything it stirs up on your own.
This isn’t speed-coaching, where you’re expected to cram it all into an hour or keep up with breathless voice notes.
This is quiet support —through intentional, thoughtful messaging, with responses within 24 hours (often sooner) — to give your insights room to bloom, and your new patterns time to take root.
It’s support that meets you where you are. Right when you need it.
And it’s always within reach —right in your pocket. INVESTMENT : $111/month (or Rs.7500/month if you reside in India)

A flat lay displaying essential oils, dried lavender, and other aromatherapy items on a woven mat.

This is a 1:1 asynchronous mentorship and support container.

You choose the platform — Facebook or Telegram.
Once you join, I’ll create a private group just for the two of us.

All our conversations and practices will happen right inside that space — your personal sanctuary.

Each week, I’ll share a guided mindfulness practice based on the ABC framework.

You are free to message anytime — about the practice itself, what it brings up for you, or simply what’s arising in your life.

You’ll receive thoughtful, compassionate responses — through the lens of mindfulness, trauma-aware care, and somatic presence.

I’ll reply within 24 hours (often sooner).
And we can go back and forth as needed — gently, supportively, spaciously.

This isn’t a fixed-length program — it’s a month-to-month container.
There’s no pressure, no lock-in.
We continue for as long as the support feels nourishing.
Stay for a month, or stay for many.
You can pause or cancel anytime.

The investment for A Pocketful of Presence is:
$111 USD/month (or ₹7500/month if you’re in India).
This is a month-to-month container — no lock-ins, no long-term commitments.
You stay as long as the support feels nourishing.
You can pause or stop anytime.

That’s absolutely okay. You don’t need to meditate to experience the benefits of mindfulness.
The practices I share are simple and accessible — no special cushions, no fancy techniques, no long sits required.
And since this is a 1:1 space, you’ll have support every step of the way. I’ll help you modify the practices so they suit YOU and fit into your life — just as it is.

Nope. This is intentionally asynchronous — meaning you can message me anytime, and I’ll reply within 24 hours (often sooner).
There are no live calls or time zones to manage. This space is designed to fit into your life — not the other way around.

A Pocketful of Presence is designed especially for you if…

✔ You’ve tried mindfulness or meditation, but it’s never quite stuck — and now you’re craving something real, responsive, and relational.
✔ You want to show up for yourself, but you keep slipping through the cracks of your own schedule.
✔ You know you’re ready to break old patterns — but doing it alone feels overwhelming.
✔ You long for space to be fully human, not just functional.
✔ You want to be witnessed and supported… not “fixed.”
✔ You don’t want another self-paced course you’ll never finish. You want something that can help you love the life you lead, while you’re busy living.

In interests of full transparency, I have to let you know…

A Pocketful of Presence is a quiet, spacious container — and I keep it that way on purpose.
There are only 5 spots available at any given time, so I can offer the depth of presence and care this kind of support truly deserves.
If there’s a space open, the Join Me button will take you straight to checkout.
If not, you’ll be gently redirected to a waitlist.
If you add your name to the waitlist, you’ll be the first to know when a spot opens up — you can choose to step in or simply stay on the list. No pressure, ever.

Hi! I’m Nimisha…


I’m a surgeon, mother, artist, and trauma-informed mindfulness teacher.
I’ve spent over a decade exploring what it means to show up for life — gently, honestly, and with presence — even in the midst of overwhelm.
Through the rhythms of motherhood and medicine, grief and growth, I’ve learned that mindfulness isn’t about escaping your life — it’s about coming home to it.
I created A Pocketful of Presence to offer the kind of support I wish I had when I was doing it all alone.
It’s real, responsive, and rooted in care. Just like you deserve.
