Vaishali, Business Consultant

At 44, Vaishali has never felt more proud, confident and beautiful. The trick? Well for Vaishali, it’s all about continuing to challenge her body, mind and soul.

Until the age of 40, you are only doing research… a beautiful life begins at 40.

From the classroom to the boardroom, Vaishali has always found success. Then in her 30s, she set her mind to something completely different – her first ever long distance run.

Completing the run gave Vaishali a sense of achievement she had never experienced and a newfound confidence in her body. Years later, she is still challenging herself and – at 44 – she has never felt more confident and beautiful. 

For her, true beauty comes from taking time to tease your brain, feed your soul and respect your body.
