At The Sattva Collective, community has always been built through shared stories, gentle courage, and the quiet power of showing up for one another.
Our Ambassadors are incredible women within our movement who champion South Asian women’s voices, break cultural silences around midlife and menopause, and ensure no woman has to walk her path alone.
In turn, we are honored to celebrate, uplift, and shine a spotlight on their remarkable work, wisdom, and individual journeys.
Featured Ambassadors
Name: Dr Punam V. Saxena
Focus: Providing guidance to South Asian women who are seeking confidence, voice, and leadership skills to follow their dreams and passions unapologetically
About: Dr Saxena is a South Asian American women’s coach and mentor specialising in identity development and creating goals that align with their strengths to become the Leader of their Lives. South Asian women have been the silent leaders for centuries; Punam is on a mission to drive change while maintaining our South Asian heritage. Her work stems from her experience as a 2nd-generation Indian American and from how she overcame biases and obstacles to embrace the power of her journey. She offers personalised, practical strategies, validation of the challenges, and confidence to rise above and become the woman they are destined to be.

Name: Dr Samila Asad — Doctor & Coach
Focus: Supporting South Asian women to feel heard, understood and confident in prioritising their health and wellbeing, while navigating the expectations, responsibilities and changes that shape their lives.
About: Dr Samila Asad has been a GP for over 20 years, having graduated from the University of London. Her special interests include women’s health, including menopause, and dermatology. Over two decades in general practice, Samila has listened to women share their worries, hopes and experiences — often the things they find difficult to say elsewhere. These conversations have deepened her understanding of how women feel, the responsibilities they carry and how easily their own needs can slip to the bottom of the list. She is particularly passionate about supporting South Asian women, recognising how cultural expectations, family roles and personal aspirations can shape their health, confidence and sense of identity. She offers a warm, compassionate space where women can speak openly, feel valued and begin to consider what they need for themselves. Guided by her philosophy, “Where Mindset Meets Medicine,” Samila brings together her medical experience and coaching skills to help women better understand themselves, build confidence and take meaningful steps towards a healthier, more fulfilling life.
