About
Coach. Classical Pilates instructor. Founder of CORE-D.
Before CORE-D was born, I spent close to two decades in financial services, working at senior level on organisational culture, conduct and regulatory change within a bank. I am currently the Head of Culture, Conduct and Accountability. That background and experience shapes how I coach: structured, grounded, and unafraid of difficult conversations, but always in service of clarity, not process for its own sake.
I trained as a coach through an ICF accredited programme, and as a classical mat Pilates instructor through the Exhale Master Mat programme. Both grew out of the same conviction, that mind, body and emotion aren't separate problems to solve one at a time, but one system. A clearer head often starts with a steadier body, and a steadier body is easier to find once the mind has room to think.
CORE-D — Coaching with Divya — brings this unique approach to both disciplines: coaching for people navigating change, direction or leadership, and Pilates for anyone who wants to move with more control and less strain. Same philosophy, two ways in.
