“I believe true justice in medicine begins not with a prescription, but with empathy. For me, healing happens only when I pause, listen, and truly feel what my patients go through, their pain, their fear, and their quiet hopes. That emotional connection, not textbooks, is what shapes every decision I make.

I once dreamed of becoming a cardiologist. I was the topper of my batch, confident that the heart was my calling. But sometimes, life gently nudges you toward your true purpose. For me, that nudge came in the form of a mentor – a seasoned gynaecologist who showed me how magical and meaningful childbirth could be. She didn’t just change my career path. She changed my entire perspective. She inspired me to create The Birthwave, where we intend to change births, one at a time. Working on birthing experiences and creating memories.

Today, I work long hours, miss meals, and often stand in operation theatres while the world outside sleeps. Being a full-time gynaecologist is not glamorous, it’s physically draining and emotionally intense. The blood, the pain, the uncertainty – it all gets to you. I had to teach myself emotional regulation the hard way. It’s a lesson I now wish every medical student could learn early on.

But amidst all that chaos, there’s nothing quite like the joy of hearing a newborn’s first cry. That sound never gets old, it’s the heartbeat of my purpose.
Through it all, my Saturday evenings are sacred. That’s when I disconnect from everything and spend time with my family. My husband, also a doctor, understands the toll our profession takes. His patience, support, and silent understanding have been my anchor. Our love has only deepened with time.

Naturally, bringing hundreds of babies into the world makes me think about starting a family of my own. But for now, we’ve chosen to build a solid foundation for our future. Parenthood will come, but on our terms, when the time feels right.
What keeps me grounded is consistency and ethics. No shortcuts. No compromises. Because at the end of the day, seeing someone walk away healthier, and knowing I had a hand in their healing – is the truest joy I’ve ever known.
And that, to me, is what being a doctor is really about.”
