Experience
With her 25 years helping families of multi-generational family businesses and families who have amassed great fortunes, shift from intense tension to harmony and cohesion, Bhaj Townsend has become known as the dynamics coach.

As a family coach, she empowers families to pass wisdom with wealth, values with valuables, and family cohesion from one generation to the next.
Bhaj is a member of a family who experienced the effects of a fourth-generation breakdown in the family business. Due to the tensions and disruptions that resulted, Bhaj dedicated her professional life to understand and guiding families on how to stay connected when money and family both matter.
In addition to her 20+ years as a coach to wealth families, many with family businesses, Bhaj is also a certified mediator who is called upon, from time to time to use her facilitative mediation with families as they move from fear and anxiety to trust and harmony with measurable systems that families can use for generations.
