She is also a Spiritual Healer and Spiritual Counselor and with her profound teaching experience, she took several sessions as a Life Coach for various segments of people.

Dr. Sreepadma has an incredible passion and love for spiritualism and an intense desire to learn Vastu Shastra, Astrology, Feng Shui and Numerology. She has been learning these from an early age and has been in practice for the past 15 years. 

Dr. Sreepadma also started her EVC brand that contains everything one needs for worship like Agarbattis, dhoop sticks and many more.

She also launched EVC food products which sells pure homemade authentic veg pickles, podis, rasam, sambar powders, healthy and delicious snacks, appadams and many more with rich aroma and good flavor.

Her career journey started at a very tender age. Initially learning Vastu Shastra was just a hobby for her, but as she began reading books on these topics, her interest turned into a passion. Although she was pursuing her regular academic education, she was still drawn towards these subjects. During this time, Dr.Sreepadma met Sri Krishna Murthy ji, who helped her gain knowledge of these subjects. She said, “I was very fortunate during this time for having met my Guru Sri Krishna Murthy ji, who helped me to gain an in-depth understanding of these subjects. In a way, this was a turning point in my life as I was able to decide which subject appeals more to my mind and realized that my area of interest lies in Vastu Shastra, a science of construction and energies.”

Challenges and Achievements:

Like any other woman who balances both professional and personal life, Dr.Sreepadma also faces challenges in balancing work and life. She added, “For a woman, satisfying everyone and feeling satisfied herself while playing all these multiple roles is not a small thing. Even I experience these challenges in my life. But these challenges often make women strong”.

Some other challenges in Dr. Sreepadma's work-life include balancing the client's budget and numerous expectations by providing cost-effective yet impactful vastu solutions, dealing with skeptical clients, balancing traditional principles with modern designs, adapting to new challenges with innovative solutions and maintaining high ethical standards even for low-budget solutions.

Despite these awards, Dr. Sreepadma considers the happiness and success of her clients as her most important achievement, talking about her most significant achievement she added, “Whenever I see the happiness in the eyes of my clients who thank me saying that after facing many problems and adverse situations, finally they found happiness after meeting me and after following my suggestions. I feel extremely blessed seeing them flourish and consider it as my biggest achievement, which happens to me often”.

Personal Insights:

Dr. Sreepadma feared that her marriage would bring in some professional restrictions. It was a blessing for her that her family provided her with support and understanding and helped her to fulfill her dreams. Dr.Sreepadma's  son’s birth was a turning point in her life wherein she decided to start a consultancy of her own. Till then although she was a Vastu Consultant, she was not able to come directly into public and make a recognition for herself.

Dr. Sreepadma said, “The life of a working or a business woman in India is multifaceted, shaped by traditional values and modern opportunities. There are significant challenges related to gender norms, family expectations, and many more”. 

She balances her life by following a few rules:

1. Self-care and Mental Health play a very important role in every woman's life. One must take any responsibility as a blessing of God and fulfill it. One must be always conscious of their mental and emotional well-being to have proper work-life balance, stress management, and mindfulness.
2. Work-Life Integration is essential even among family members. 
3. Creating a Support System within the family is necessary. 
4. Effective Time management is very important. 
5. Good and polite behavior with everyone works wonders.

Impact and Vision:

Dr. Sreepadma envisions herself teaching Vastu Shastra and Spiritual concepts to as many people as she can. She said “Whether through Meditation, Yoga, Vastu Shastra, Astrology or the study of sacred texts, Indian occultism guides practitioners toward a higher understanding of the universe and their place within it. The Indian occult is not just about gaining supernatural powers alone, but also about achieving spiritual awakening, self-realization and ultimate liberation (moksha) from the cycle of birth and death. These teachings remain deeply embedded in the Indian cultural and Indian spiritualism and continue to inspire seekers worldwide”. 

She believes teaching or preaching these subjects not only helps many to get answers to the unsolvable questions of their life but certainly helps them to lead a happy and prosperous life.

Dr. Sreepadma's suggestions for the future trends or developments in the field of education in India are:

1. Curriculum Reforms 
2. Flexibility in Higher Education
3. Digital Platforms 
4. National Repository of Open Educational Resources (NROER) on platforms such as    SWAYAM (for higher education), DIKSHA, and NPTEL (for online courses)
5. E-Learning for Schools
6. Focus on Vocational Education
7. Incorporating Indian Culture and Heritage
8. Mother Tongue as a Medium of Instruction

Conclusion:

Dr. Sreepadma advice to  young women is:

1. Identify your passion, strengths, and area of interest. As the education field is vast and diverse, you must understand where your interest lies. Is it into direct teaching or into research, administration, or educational counseling.
