Tulsi Vagjiani is a pilates rehabilitation specialist, life coach, crystal healer, model and motivational speaker who survived a plane crash when she was only 10 years old. Battling with bullying from the scars this tragic accident left her, Tulsi eventually came to realise the beauty in her burns and developed the self-confidence to become a speaker, spreading her message of self-love. When hired as a speaker, Tulsi is able to coach others on self-acceptance and confidence within one’s own body and is determined to help all who suffer from a lack of self-worth.
In 1990, Tulsi Vagjiani’s life would change forever. At just 10 years old she was in a plane crash which killed all of her immediately family. She sustained 45% second and third degree burns to her face and body. Not only having to endure the pain which came from losing her family, Tulsi also had to endure the years of relentless bullying she received after the changes to her body and face. People would stare, and they would judge, but they did not understand all she had to go through at such a young age. Despite the endless tormenting, Tulsi did not let this stop her from gaining a degree in Applied Health Sciences from the University of East London. Unfortunately, whilst studying for her degree, Tulsi would once again have to endure more heartache – she was diagnosed with kidney failure. For three years she was placed on dialysis whist she waited for a transplant. Her strength and resilience helped her on the long journey to recovery.
Once upon a time Tulsi’s story was something she would hide and something she was made to feel ashamed of; she became depressed and withdrawn, only a shadow of her former self. Now, Tulsi is anything but ashamed of her story and would not change anything about herself. She has helped countless others to feel confident within their own body and has become a campaigner for those with visible differences. She also decided to become a pilates instructor as it helped her become more self-confident, whilst also allowing her to exercise without any pain. With her confidence greater than ever, Tulsi has volunteered for charities such as the Katie piper Foundation and Changing Faces, helping and encouraging others to love their bodies.
A role model for all she meets, Tulsi has proven, no matter how you may look, everyone is worthy of self-love as true beauty comes from within. This is something she wants to continue for as long as she can, and she is campaigning for a more accepting society where those with physical disfigurements are not treated any differently. With years of experience as a mentor, life coach and motivational speaker, Tulsi is able to share her story of resilience and self-acceptance to her audiences, so they too know how to love themselves from the inside.

"Tulsi's involvement prior to the talk was really supportive and helped align our vision. The content building in some of our principles, values and benefits worked so well. Her arrival, security clearance and IT set met all our expectations ensuring the session ran smoothly. The visuals / content and delivery got us engaged not just in person but across our Visa TV channel showing the talk across Europe and with global reach. The wonderful Q&A Session and the chance to have her stay back with our staff for any 1-2-1 talks was incredible value and worked very well." -Jay, Visa
