A wellness coach and reiki healer, Poonam thinks that what we are born with we can’t change. Therefore, instead of lamenting about it, we should endeavor to change what can actually be changed.

Poonam Sharma is known as Mystic Poonam. She is a Tarot Card Reader, Reiki Grandmaster, and Wellness Coach. She has authored several books on Reiki and Tarot Card Reading. Besides, in 2001, she founded Krish Consultations wherein she teaches different wellness therapies, provides consultations, and gives wellness coaching to people.

Poonam was born in Kandaghat, Solan. She completed her primary school education at a government school in Kandaghat itself. Then she was sent to Birla Balika Vidyapeeth in Pilani where she studied till tenth grade. Thereafter, she completed her BA in Political Science from MCM DAV College for Women in Chandigarh.

Talking about the formative years of her life, Poonam shares that growing up, she would always be fascinated by celestial bodies and celestial phenomena. She was a pampered kid. She says that studying in the Hindi Medium till fifth grade and then to study in the English Medium came as a challenge to her.  She worked really hard. She says she had to consult an English dictionary to learn the English equivalent of each Hindi word. Nonetheless, she proved her mettle by passing the seventh grade in the English Medium with a first division. Besides, she says that at the boarding school, she would participate in extra-curricular activities too. She was made the leader of the school’s band. Further, she says there were definitely many challenges like staying at a boarding school and she often missed the proximity of her parents. But her determination to do something big and different kept her going.

Poonam says she always wanted to study Psychology, but she could not get any exposure to the subject at school. So, she had to opt for Political Science in her bachelors. But she would read books on Psychology, she says. After her bachelors, she did an MA in Political Science and then an MA in Sociology from Punjab University. Meanwhile, she also prepared for the UPSC Civil Services Examinations, but as luck would have it, she could not pass the exam.

Poonam shares that her life came to a halt after her wedding and within one year of her wedding her son was born. Life felt more meaningless to her after the birth of her daughter as she wanted to do something of her own and something for people but she was not able to do so. To do away with it, she first learned Reiki. Later, she learned advanced Reiki. To satiate her curiosity about spiritualism, she also learned different wellness therapies like emotional freedom technique, hypnotherapy, neuro-linguistic programming, etc.

Poonam thinks that our body and mind have immense energy and it’s paramount to channelize these energies in the right direction to lead a calm life.

To household women, Poonam advises them to always speak for themselves without dissenting to be able to work for their dreams and achieve them.

Talking about her achievements, Poonam shares that she wrote the first book on Tarot in Hindi entitled Kya Hai Tarot. Besides, she also wrote a book on Reiki. Further, she was also honored and awarded by different people at different functions.

To aspiring wellness coaches, Poonam tells them that nowadays anyone can learn tarot card reading and numerology irrespective of their family and educational backgrounds. Besides, she says that, of late, these wellness therapies have gained ground in people’s lives to heal them owing to their modern lifestyles.

Poonam considers her kids her biggest motivation. Besides, mother nature also inspires her.

To people, her message is to go with the flow and be eagle-eyed on their goals.
