At Brilliant Read Media, it is our constant endeavour to identify and share some of the unique and compelling stories from the startup ecosystem. As part of this, we invited Shailja R Sachdeva for an interview with Brilliant Read Media. To say further, Shailja is a FTS Energy Healer, Trainer and an Influencer. Let’s learn more about her background, inspiring journey so far and her advice for our growing community!
Excerpts from our exclusive interview with Shailja:
Could you please talk us through your background and your journey?
My professional journey began in the world of Finance, where I worked as a Senior Financial Analyst for 12 years in multinational corporations. While my career was stable and successful, I faced persistent health challenges, including chronic migraines. This led me to explore holistic healing practices such as Panchkarma and Naturopathy, seeking natural and sustainable ways to restore my well-being.
During this exploration, I discovered Feed The Soul (FTS) Energy Healings—a life-changing moment for me. While learning the FTS course, I experienced complete relief from my migraines, which felt nothing short of a miracle. Inspired by this profound transformation, I continued learning, completing all the levels, and within six months, became a certified FTS Energy Healer and Trainer.
For the past 13 years, I have been passionately serving as an FTS Energy Healer and Trainer, helping others experience the same healing, balance, and inner peace that once transformed my own life.
How did you discover your passion?
I have always been deeply curious about life’s greater meaning — questions like “What is the soul’s journey?” and “Why do we take birth, live, and return again?” often filled my mind. I wondered what the true purpose of human life was and why we come to this Earth in a human body.
My search for answers led me to explore various paths of healing and self-discovery. Through this journey, I realised that my deepest joy lies in serving others — helping people heal, grow, and reconnect with their own inner wisdom.
The turning point came when I attended the Soul Realisation Workshop. It was during this experience that I truly understood the purpose of the soul’s journey — to evolve, to learn, and to serve. These teachings became my guiding light, giving my life a new direction and meaning.
Today, these realisations continue to inspire me every single day. I feel blessed to dedicate my life to helping others through Feed The Soul Energy Healing, sharing what I’ve learned, and supporting others on their own paths of awakening and transformation.
Despite the challenges, what keeps you going when things get tough?
My work is driven by a deep commitment to empower individuals and to challenge the myths and stereotypes that surround the wellness journey. I encourage people to develop self-awareness and the courage to take charge of their own healing — to live a life rooted in respect, dignity, and ethical compassion toward themselves and others.
At the heart of my practice lies the belief in sharing joy, which is also the first principle of Feed The Soul (FTS). I truly believe that every person is capable of change. Our experiences and circumstances shape us, but they do not define our potential for transformation.
At FTS, we envision a world where everyone has access to healing modalities that nurture the physical, mental, and emotional self, helping individuals achieve balance and harmony. When people heal themselves first, they naturally contribute to creating healthier families, communities, and a more compassionate world.
What are the three most important lessons you have learned in your life?
Over the years, my journey as a healer and as a student of life has taught me some profound lessons — lessons that continue to guide my thoughts, actions, and relationships every single day.
1. Self-Love – Nothing can replace your physical body. It is the sacred vessel through which you experience life. The most important responsibility you have is to take care of it, nurture it, and love yourself unconditionally. Self-love is not selfish — it’s the foundation of all healing.
2. Detachment – Do your best, and then let go. When you release attachment to results — whether it’s in work, relationships, or outcomes — you free yourself from unnecessary stress. True peace comes from doing your karma with sincerity and leaving the rest to the Universe.
3. Non-Expectation and Self-Work – Do not expect others to change or fulfil your desires. Instead, focus on your own inner work. When you evolve, your energy shifts — and the world around you begins to change naturally. Transformation always starts within.
These simple yet powerful truths form the core of my personal and professional philosophy. They remind me every day that healing begins with awareness, and awareness begins with love.
In your opinion, what are the keys to success?
I’ll say it straight — there are many factors that contribute to personal and spiritual growth, but if I had to name the key elements that truly define transformation, these are the ones that have guided me:
1. Accepting and Loving Myself – Everything begins with self-acceptance. When you love yourself fully — with all your strengths and imperfections — you open the door to true healing and growth.
2. Taking Responsibility for My Actions – Owning my choices and decisions has been one of the most empowering shifts in my life. Responsibility brings freedom and clarity.
3. Standing Up for Myself – Learning to speak my truth, set boundaries, and honour my worth has helped me live with integrity and confidence.
4. Resourcefulness – No matter what challenges arise, I’ve learned that solutions always exist. Resourcefulness keeps me creative, grounded, and adaptable.
5. Curiosity – Curiosity keeps the soul alive. It encourages learning, exploration, and continuous evolution.
6. Positive Attitude – A positive mindset doesn’t mean ignoring reality — it means focusing on possibilities instead of limitations.
7. Taking Massive Action with Consistency and Belief – Dreams only become reality through consistent effort. Belief fuels action, and action creates transformation.
8. Character Building – True success isn’t about achievements — it’s about the person you become. Character defines how you lead, serve, and live.
What advice would you give students and young professionals who want to have a successful career?
Success is important — but the truth is, everyone has their own definition of success. For some, it’s about professional achievements; for others, it’s about inner peace, relationships, or personal growth. What truly matters is finding your own version of success — one that brings you joy, balance, and purpose.
In today’s competitive world, many people are turning into robots and machines, constantly chasing goals without pausing to ask, “Am I truly happy?” Success without happiness is empty. That’s why it’s essential to focus on your happiness quotient and to create a balance between material and spiritual life.
Your emotional and mental well-being are just as important as your career or financial success. Nurturing your inner world gives strength and clarity to your outer world.
To me, spirituality is the ultimate technology — a powerful inner system that helps you become the best version of yourself. It teaches you awareness, balance, and compassion — the real foundations of a successful and fulfilled life.
Last but not least, what about your journey makes it satisfying/exciting?
What truly fuels me is the transformational feedback I receive from people who have been touched by my work — whether it’s through my social media content, coaching sessions, programs, or energy healings. Each message, each story of change, fills me with gratitude and amplifies my energy to serve even more.
Watching people experience shifts in their consciousness, healing in their lives, and breakthroughs in their journeys gives me immense fulfilment. I see their success as my success, and their growth as a reflection of my purpose.
When you work as a Divine Channel, and you become the reason behind someone’s smile or healing, it’s the Universe’s gentle way of saying — you are on the right path.
