About

Poonam Gunjal

Chief Heart Officer & Founder

Poonam is a leadership coach, wellness practitioner, and social work professional who blends nervous system science with grounded, human-centered guidance. Her work is informed by more than 20 years across the biotech and psychedelic medicine fields, where she led teams, built global partnerships, and supported leaders navigating high-pressure environments.

She is a certified Hogan coach and has taught Hogan-based leadership and self-awareness programs at universities and large organizations. Her approach brings together nervous system literacy, personality insight, and practical tools for clearer communication and more aligned decision-making.

Poonam’s training spans both scientific and holistic disciplines. She holds a B.S. in Molecular Biology, a Master’s in Organizational Management, and an Executive MBA, giving her a strong foundation in behavioral science, leadership, and systems thinking. She is currently completing her Master of Social Work, focusing on trauma-informed and culturally responsive care.

Alongside her academic work, Poonam is trained in Ayurveda, Yoga, Reiki, Mindfulness, and Somatic practices. She weaves these traditions with modern nervous system tools to help clients reconnect with rhythm, rest, and inner safety. She teaches NSRR: Nervous System Regenerative Remembrance as a simple way for people to understand their patterns and return to themselves with more ease.

Poonam is also the founder of The Naina Foundation, a grassroots nonprofit that redistributes clothing and essential items to underserved communities in India. Her commitment to service is part of the deeper rhythm she hopes to build in every community she touches.

As an emerging public speaker trained in speechwriting and performance, she speaks on leadership, nervous system awareness, emotional safety, and the inner work required for meaningful change.

Clients describe her presence as warm, clear, and grounding someone who helps them feel safe enough to explore what is true. Her mission is simple: to help people become anchored in inner safety so they can live, lead, and love with more presence.
