my story

I am Susmita Mishra. By background, I am a TV anchor, former Odia film actress, journalist, and a trained and certified dancer. I used to work in the Odia film and television industry, anchoring tv shows, and also acted in few Odia movies. I have 8 years of corporate experience in Bangalore as well as a Linguistics Trainer. My hometown is Puri. Since the beginning of my career, I started doing dance shows and got an opportunity to perform on stage at the tender age of 8. Slowly, dance and glamour world became my passion. As a result, I learned about makeup and skincare routine from a very early age. Glamour Industry makeup is quite different from day-to-day regular makeups. It's almost similar to having daily bridal makeups. So taking care of my skin came naturally to me and was surely one of the daily priority tasks. But, although I was having access to experienced skincare specialists in my industry and was heavily investing in premium skincare cosmetics, I faced skincare issues such as pimples, acne, face pits as well as dark circles. Putting that heavy makeup for long hours during shooting made my skin look dull. It lost quite a bit of moisture too.

Once I got married and came to Bangalore, I started working in the corporate environment in Bangalore. The lifestyle was sedentary in nature. I had food cravings during my pregnancy and within 3 to 4 months, I put on 15kg extra weight! During this time, I was diagnosed with 3rd stage of varicose veins as well. Due to a lot of pain and swelling in my leg, I was unable to do even my daily chores properly. Subsequently, my confidence was shattered and I used to shy away from public appearance too.

I was frantically looking for a way out and fortunately through a common friend, got introduced to a Wellness Coach from WQ. Initially, there was a trust deficit due to my lack of knowledge in the field of nutrition and holistic healing, but eventually, I subscribed to her Wellness Program.

She guided me, not only through a gradual weight loss process but also on how to improve my skin texture through detoxification and a special skincare routine. As a result, I was able to reduce almost 15kg of post-pregnancy weight in just 4 months without completely compromising on the food. The best part is my diet was customized as per Odia cuisine. It’s been a year and a half now, I am completely free from varicose vein issues as well. Change in my daily habits and weight loss has done wonders for my confidence. I have started my journey towards becoming a Social Influencer now where I promote healthy habits as a partner with Wellness Quotient and impacting many lives all around the country and abroad as well.
