About Ramadevi
I Don't Just Know
Your Story - I Lived It
I'm a married woman, a proud mother of two, and a Postgraduate in Life Sciences with 19 years of experience as a Research Scientist and OHSE Manager.
​
Then I took a career break. What followed were three years of rejection being labelled "overqualified," salary mismatches, and silent dismissals. It was isolating until it became my greatest teacher.
​
Today, I channel every one of those experiences into coaching women who are exactly where I once was. Because the path forward isn't theoretical for me. It's personal.

Does This Sound Familiar?
Why Career Restarts
Feel Impossible
The real obstacles aren't what most people think which is why most women stay stuck.
01
It's an Identity Crisis, Not a Skills Gap
Your skills are intact. But the inner voice that says "I belong here" has gone quiet. No CV update fixes this only the right inner work does.
02
The Narrative Is Internal, Not Market-Driven
"I've been out too long." "They'll think I'm overqualified." These aren't facts they're interpretations powerful enough to stop all action.
03
You're Trying to Return — Not Relaunch
Going back to the role you left is a retreat. You've grown. Your restart should reflect who you are now, not who you were seven years ago.
04
The System Wasn't Built For You
Hiring systems penalise career gaps. ATS filters, salary benchmarking, bias these are real. You need a strategy that routes around them.
05
You're Going It Alone, Without a Map
Googling at midnight. Rewriting your CV for the fourth time. Applying into silence. This isn't a motivation problem it's a structure problem.
06
Overthinking Is Eating Your Time
Every option feels risky. Every step uncertain. Paralysis sets in. Meanwhile another month passes and another opportunity slips by.
"Your career break was not a detour. It was preparation. The question is - are you ready to use it?"

Why Work With Me
There Are Many Coaches
Here's What's Different
I don't just understand your situation theoretically. I have lived every part of it and built a framework from the inside out.
She Has Lived It
Not a coach who studied career breaks from the outside. A woman who experienced the bias, rejection, and identity confusion firsthand.
Science-Backed Thinking
19 years in research means she approaches problems with rigour, curiosity, and evidence not generic platitudes.
Corporate Fluency
Deep familiarity with corporate culture, hiring dynamics, and STEM environments from a management perspective.
Holistic Approach
Career strategy, emotional readiness, family dynamics, and long-term sustainability nothing treated in isolation.
Empathy Without Enabling
A safe, compassionate space combined with real accountability to your own ambitions and timeline.
"My story became my strategy. And now it's yours too."
