About Dimple Mukherjee

Dimple Mukherjee is an Occupational Therapist, Positive Psychology Practitioner, Coach, and the Author of her latest release, “Word of the Year: True Stories About Intentional Living Using the Power of a Single Word” which is now available globally and Indie bookstores.

Dimple’s life philosophy is rooted in and centred around good health and wellness. She believes that the medicine for our times can be found in the co-creation process with Mother Earth and our Universe. Dimple strongly believes in the power of intentional and conscious living as the pathway to fulfilment and well-being. It starts with the spirit and by cultivating a strong relationship with the wisdom within.

Dimple has dedicated the past few years to learning and understanding how profoundly intentional living can shape our lives and improve our overall health. She has created programmes, workshops, journals and a book highlighting the benefits of intentional living through the power of one word. Dimple has found this practice to be not only transformative but also simple, fun and accessible.
