About me

I am Dr Puja Ladd, a Medical Doctor and Life Coach, with a special interest in empowering those with chronic disease. Becoming a Doctor had been my dream since the age of 11, where I was diagnosed with an incurable illness: Crohn’s disease. Despite struggling hugely with the condition, including a number of hospital admissions throughout my time at university, I managed to graduate with the degree of my dreams (and one in research!), alongside a big smile on my face. I thought the worst of it was over as I had navigated through a challenging course and had now achieved my goal, but little did I know that things were to get even worse as I approached the pandemic under a significant burden of stress and panic. I soon realised that I had become a shadow of myself, with burnout and worry plaguing my existence – I stopped enjoying life. Faced with gloom looming over my daily life, I realised that I had to change in order to experience the happiness and freedom everybody around me seemingly had; I knew I had to do something different to experience the joy that I, and each one of us, deserve. 

So, I went on a bit of a wild goose chase: I read multiple self-help books before realising how interested I was in the subject of our emotional wellbeing, resulting in me taking course after course in order to improve my own wellbeing. I studied and became accredited in Life Coaching, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Hypnotherapy, Meditation, the Emotional Freedom Technique, Self-Love, Inner Child Healing and Happiness! Within a short space of time, I had completely turned my life around and started to feel excitement and happiness on a daily basis – I even managed to stabilise the raging inflammatory illness within my body, calming both my pain and symptoms.

After noticing such a massive change within myself, I thought if I could help myself so much, why not help others? And that is how my journey in the Emotional Wellness field began!

I know how tough and isolating it can be to be in a state of low mood, worry, stress, frustration and as though you are not fulfilling your potential – but I am so confident that there is a way to turn this around. Click the link below to learn more and book your free call!
