“The longest journey you will ever take is the 18 inches from your head to your heart"

Andrew Bennett

A Personal Message from Dr Alisha

“The moment I graduated from medical school, I was met with a strange emptiness. The title ‘Dr’ while a significant achievement, began to overshadow the essence of who I truly was.

I have always been a creative spirit, an athlete, a high performer both personally and professionally. Above all, I value who we are as human beings before any role, responsibility, certificate or title defines.

As such, to have our lives be the fullest expression of who we are in our essence, in every category of living – health, family, career, business, finances, relationships, spirituality, contribution – is of great importance to me.

When I looked into the mirror...

Wearing my brand new scrubs knowing that my job will lead my life – not me – knowing that the world who now saw me with the stethoscope around my neck, would relate to me as  what I do – all other parts of me began to fade…

I found myself itching for something more – something different. A life that allowed every facet of my to show up, not confined by a title or job description.

So, I made the bold decision to step back from the career I worked so hard to achieve.

Now to many who are unsure what they would do with their life if not their job, they may ask, “who am I, if not all these things I have worked incredibly hard to achieve?”

To you, I say this: sit tight. Listen up. Little did I know at the time, I hadn’t stepped back. I had stepped forward leaning into growth, uncertainty and possibility.

Lost and released into the wider world

I explored different industries for the first time: tech, entertainment, fashion and events – I threw myself into different pathways of work, took on unfamiliar roles, expanded my skillset and ultimately, my capacity to ‘figure it out’.

Importantly, I learnt that there is so much I have yet to discover and that living a life of design rather than default is within reach. Living to the limitations of my academic knowledge, was no longer enough.

So I immersed in the world of self mastery

It opened my heart and  challenged my mind. It expanded my view of life and what could be possible to elevate success and make a difference in the world, in ways I hadn’t anticipated.

Starting a wellbeing business was a leap of faith. I worked tirelessly, learned from business professionals and even brought a coach into my life. 

At first, I thought that coaching was solely about business strategy and success, but it quickly became clear that the real transformation was happening inside me. The more I worked on my inner world – my mindset, my beliefs, my emotional landscape – the more everything on the outside began to shift. My businesses thrived, my health improved and my focus sharpened.

This deep inner evolution...

…ignited a passion in me to help others do the same. I trained in performance coaching and emotional transformation, working with leaders on the deepest levels of ‘being’ – identity, beliefs, values, energy, consciousness.

It became so clear: when we work on all facets of ourselves – mind, body and soul in alignment – we unlock our greatest potential.

The truth is, sustainable high performance doesn’t come from pushing harder in one area of life. It comes from integrating all of who we are and living in harmony with our true essence. From this place, we can achieve not only professional success but also personal fulfilment, joy, and vitality.”

"That’s why I created The Essence Code.

To guide others to tune into their truest selves, align every part of their being and lead from their heart. Because when you live from your essence, you don't just perform at your best - you live your highest life."
