"Dr. Shilpi Chanda is such an amazing energy that improves all environments. She has a mastery of coaching people to see the good in situations. She has infused several virtual business meetings with the goal of redirecting bad behavior or teaching people how to see value in the work that they do. She has a gift of helping people see that they matter, and they have a voice worth listening too. She exhibits the values that she promotes. As a best-selling author, Dr. Shilpi is someone who is someone I believe in and would recommend for any project. As a stage four cancer survivor, I am thankful Shilpi encouraged me in my journey of healing."

"It is with great esteem that I reflect upon a decade-long acquaintance with Ms. Shilpi Chanda, an individual whose professional journey I have had the privilege to observe and admire. Initially recognized as a world-renowned classical dancer, Ms. Chanda's repertoire extends far beyond the performing arts. She is an acclaimed expert in holistic coaching, life transformation, and wellness, areas where her contributions have been both significant and impactful. What sets Ms. Chanda apart is her unique ability to weave together various life experiences, particularly her extensive background in dance, to enhance her coaching methodology. This integration not only bolsters the effectiveness of her approach but also infuses a creative vigor that is both rare and invigorating. Her coaching philosophy, underscored by a strong emphasis on self-love, self-care, and a growth mindset, deeply resonates with those she mentors. Her sessions transcend conventional targets like weight loss, focusing instead on holistic development, inner peace, and the attainment of happiness. Ms. Chanda is more than a coach or an entrepreneur; she is a visionary leader whose influence extends to empowering and uplifting everyone within her sphere. The rarity lies in her ability to blend professional excellence with profound personal integrity and compassion. It is without reservation that I recommend Ms. Shilpi Chanda to anyone seeking transformative life changes and a path to balanced, fulfilling living."

I tried Shilpi’s movement class as a free trial and ended up signing up for a whole month! I love that it’s a perfect 30-minute workout—just enough to get moving without feeling stretched out.
I feel refreshed, lighter, and more energetic after every class. It’s amazing how much better you can feel just by moving your body!
Highly recommend giving her class a try. Thank you, Shilpi, for helping us move and feel good within! ❤️

"I had the wonderful opportunity to invite Shilpi Chanda to lead the session at my Kurdish and Arabic Women’s Support Group at LCSNW. Her presentation "Be You and Embrace Authenticity" was inspiring, deeply relatable, and sparked meaningful reflection among the women in the group. She followed it with a joyful body movement workshop set to music that brought laughter, connection, and energy into the room. The session was informative and uplifting, full of encouragement, warmth, and practical insight. Shilpi’s coaching, speaking, and movement work beautifully reflect the offerings listed on her website. She brings heart, clarity, and a vibrant presence to everything she does. Highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a holistic, empowering experience!"

"Wonderful Garba Workshop Experience with Shilpi! I recently came across Shilpi’s garba dance workshop advertisement and wanted to register, but I encountered an issue during the process. I called her for assistance, and she promptly answered, patiently listened to my concern, and quickly provided a solution. Not only did she resolve my issue, but she also updated her advertisement to make registration easier for others. Her professionalism and kindness left a lasting impression. When I attended the workshop and introduced myself, Shilpi immediately remembered our conversation, which made me feel truly welcomed. The class itself was fantastic! She started with a foundational explanation of taal and foot movements, ensuring that even beginners could easily follow along. As the session progressed, she gradually increased the difficulty, creating a perfect learning curve for all participants.It was an incredibly fun and engaging experience, and the group practice made it even more enjoyable. Shilpi’s passion and teaching style made this workshop one to remember. Thank you, Shilpi, for a memorable and enriching garba experience! "
