We had the pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Radhika Sharma, a Board Certified Obstetrician/Gynecologist and certified Life & Wellness Coach.

Dr. Sharma is passionate about Women’s Health and Wellness. She is a mother of 2 young girls and wife to a fellow OBGYN. As a busy mother, wife and physician, Dr. Sharma found herself caught in the quicksand and did not see any way out of it. Fortunately, she found life coaching, which allowed her to recognize her authentic and essential self. Today Dr. Sharma continues her work as an OBGYN, while also collaborating with her life coaching clients to help them challenge the obstacles in their lives, and follow their essential self to make it through some of life’s most challenging times.

Dr. Sharma completed her medical training at Saba University School of Medicine. After completing her medical rotations in the United States, she went on to complete her obstetrics & gynecology residency at Aultman Hospital in Affiliation with Northeast Ohio Medical University. She specializes in Pelvic floor disorders and reconstruction. Dr. Sharma is also a certified Life & Wellness coach through the Martha Beck Wayfinder training.
