Who Am I?

Anand Rao

Originally, a Cambridge educated theoretical physicist and oil industry professional, with decades of experience in personal development, I’m now a developmental coach and trainer helping professional individuals, who are sincere about wanting change, embody their full capacities in life and work.

I combine the rigour of a scientific background (finding out what works!) with the heart of personal growth, blending frameworks from somatic modalities, perennial philosophies, adult stage development, and modern emotional regulation techniques.

The Developmental Mastery approach wasn’t built overnight—it emerged from decades of real-world experience, working with diverse individuals across various stages of life and career.

For three years, Anand coached and trained 30–40 people weekly, gaining invaluable insights into what truly catalyses growth and transformation. Through this extensive hands-on teaching, he developed a deep understanding of the challenges people face and the most effective ways to help them break through their barriers, realign with their inner wisdom, and achieve lasting results.
