about

A small studio
of reflection.

I'm Abha, a tarot reader, journaling guide and slow traveller who once wrote code for a living. This is the longer version of my story.

I grew up doing what many of us are taught to do. Study hard. Get a good degree. Build a career.

I studied engineering and eventually found myself working as a software developer at IBM. On paper, life was going well. I was disciplined, responsible, doing everything I was supposed to do. But underneath it all, something felt missing.

As a child, I had always been drawn to creativity, sports, cultural activities and human connection. Somewhere along the way, while trying to fit into the system, I slowly lost touch with that part of myself.

One day, I left. There was no grand plan.

What followed was years of travel, mistakes, learning and inner work. Meditation. Movement. Breathwork. Journaling. Emotional healing. Spirituality. One teacher led to another. One question opened the door to ten more. Eventually, the journey brought me to Rishikesh, where the tarot deck stopped being an object and became a language.

Today my work is centred around creating spaces where people can reconnect with themselves. Through retreats, workshops, conversations, readings and community, I hope to be a small bridge.

Letters from the notebook

A slow, monthly letter with reflections, a tarot card to sit with, a book I'm loving, and quiet updates from retreats and workshops.
