Santalan (सैंटेलिन) = Balance

The kind that lets you succeed without losing yourself.
Where ambition and wellbeing belong together.

This is balance. This is Santalan.

The Method

Coaching, but not as you know it

Covering the four key pillars of a great life; health, work, relationships, and self-image, Santalan guides you through a restorative retreat and bespoke 12-month coaching plan for you to achieve purposeful and sustainable growth.

Retreats

You’ve spent your life looking after everyone else. Now it’s your turn. Santalan retreats are intimate, powerful experiences crafted for small groups of women. With fully personalised coaching, we focus entirely on you: your clarity, your energy, your life.

1.1 Coaching

Career coaching isn’t enough. Because you’re not just your job title — you’re a whole woman with a whole life. At Santalan, we coach across everything you carry: ambition, health, identity, relationships, confidence. This is tailored support for the woman behind the role.

Community Events

Santalan recognises how important it is to have a community that truly sees you. Our events bring together women who just get it. It’s not about small talk. It’s about real connection, shared ambition, and the kind of support that lasts long after the event ends.

Follow our community

This September, we hosted our 3rd and last retreat of this year. That’s 5 in total since launching

in 2024.

This time, we had 4 amazing days at Wolterton Park.

We will be back next year and will open the waitlist in January 2026.

This isn’t just a retreat. It’s where the Santalan journey begins.

This is for women ready to lead, not just cope.

To reset, refocus and rise. Not by escaping life, but by finally designing it on their terms.

This is more than time out. It is the first step into the Santalan programme.

Stop surviving. Start choosing yourself.

“This isn’t a bubble bath and yoga kind of break. It’s designed to change your life. Coaching sessions were powerful, unfiltered and exactly what I needed.”

“Dalbir Bains doesn’t deal in vague mantras or Insta-therapy fluff. Her approach is direct, grounded and built for real women leading real lives.”

“At Santalan, women spend time with wellness specialists, therapists and branding experts to rediscover clarity, confidence and focus without the burnout.”

Meet the founder

Hi, I’m Dalbir. I’m the founder of Santalan, an executive and business coach, business leader, and unapologetic believer in women who want more.

After 30 years leading global businesses and building brands from the ground up, I realised something powerful. Success without alignment still leaves you feeling empty. I created Santalan to change that.

This is not about playing small or following someone else’s rules. It’s about building a life and a self that feels rich, real, and fully yours.

Santalan is where ambition meets truth.
Where women stop performing and start becoming. And I’m here to walk that journey with you.
