Founded by Dalbir Bains, Fashion Industry Pioneer and Certified Transformation coach.
“Women often face significant challenges in achieving a balanced life. Throughout my 30 year career in Fashion, I've watched talented people burn out and give up entirely.
My entire life, I struggled with balance, treating it like a place I could eventually reach. Every time I left a job, I told myself the next position would give me better work-life balance, but it never did, because mentally I wasn't approaching life in a way that would create balance.
I've come to understand that balance isn't a destination – it's a daily practice and lifelong effort”
— Dalbir Bains, Founder & Lead Coach
What makes Santalan different?
-
The four pillars of the Santalan programme are deliberately interconnected. Health and wellbeing form the foundation – because without physical and mental energy, nothing else is sustainable.
Personal brand then connects internal identity with external perception. This is a pillar ambitious women can no longer overlook in today's digital world, where your reputation precedes you and how you present yourself significantly impacts opportunities.
Business and career development focuses on strategic advancement while maintaining alignment with personal values.
Relationships encompass both professional and personal connections, so they’re essential for sustained success and fulfilment.
-
Santalan isn't about fixing something or someone that’s broken – it's about elevating what's already working and transforming good into extraordinary..
Our sessions, goals and how we work across the pillars is shaped by you or your business’s needs.

What our members say:
The chance to take a step back and think about opportunities and challenges ahead, and to do so in the company of some wonderful women was something that I didn’t know I needed”
Sophie Kilvert, Director, Rothchilds & Co
“Santalan helped me understand what abundance looks like in life, how much contributes to abundance- and It’s not always the things we think it is.”
