About Praveen Saanker
A Confluence of Tradition, Psychology, and Business Acumen
Welcome to my world, where ancient wisdom seamlessly meets modern psychology, and spiritual principles blend with strategic business insights. I’m Praveen Saanker—a Life Coach, Psychotherapist, Family Office Advisor, and spiritual seeker dedicated to guiding individuals, families, and businesses toward holistic well-being and lasting success.
My Journey
My spiritual odyssey began in Kerala, India, where I immersed myself in the study of Vedic scriptures, Upanishads, and multiple tantric traditions such as Kaula, Mishra, and Samaya philosophies. Over time, I was initiated into Trika Shaivism (Kashmiri Shaivism) and mentored by remarkable Gurus who imparted deep knowledge of Jyotisha (Vedic Astrology), Vastu Shastra, Numerology, and Agama Shastras. These ancient teachings continue to inspire my work, influencing how I serve clients from all walks of life.
What Makes Me Different
1. Holistic Integration
I weave Sanatana Dharma, Agama Shastras, and other Vedic sciences into contemporary therapeutic modalities like cognitive-behavioural techniques and clinical hypnotherapy, creating a balanced personal and professional growth approach.
2. Proven Corporate Expertise
My leadership roles at HSBC (Senior Vice President, Wealth Management) and ASK Wealth Advisors (Director – Strategic Solutions, Family Office) have equipped me with a nuanced understanding of business strategy, wealth management, and succession planning.
3. Broad Academic Foundation
With a PhD in Clinical, Counseling, and Allied Psychology from the University of Canterbury, an Executive MBA from IMD Business School, and an MBA in Finance, I apply rigorous, results-oriented thinking to every coaching engagement.
4. Spiritual Depth & Paranormal Research
As a New England Society for Psychic Research and The Ghost Club member, I bring a unique, multidimensional perspective—grounded in Paranormal Vastu and Remedial Vedic Astrology—to help clients navigate life’s unseen challenges.
5. Therapeutic Yoga & Mind-Body Alignment
As an Advanced Hatha Yoga Practitioner (Therapeutic), certified by Yoga Alliance USA and other renowned bodies, I guide clients toward holistic well-being by integrating physical, mental, and spiritual practices.
