361 Tranquil Touch – Empowering Growth Through Purpose

 

 

 

361 Tranquil Touch, founded in 2021 and based in Johannesburg, is a purpose-driven professional development practice offering coaching, mentoring, training and wellness programmes for individuals, leaders and corporate teams. The business was established by development specialist and transformational speaker Joythi Maharaj, whose career and personal journey have shaped a distinctive, human-centred approach to growth.

A Business Built on Purpose and Personal Transformation

The inspiration behind 361 Tranquil Touch is rooted in both lived experience and professional insight. Following the loss of her brother more than a decade ago, Maharaj entered a period of deep reflection that reshaped how she viewed life, resilience and purpose. Combined with her years in corporate environments and leadership spaces, she recognised how much human potential remains untapped without the right guidance, support and emotional awareness.

The name “361” represents continuous evolution — the belief that a journey does not end at one milestone. When one chapter closes, another begins. This idea sits at the centre of her coaching philosophy: transformation is ongoing, and every experience opens the door to new possibility.

Specialised Services for Individuals and Organisations

361 Tranquil Touch offers a range of growth-focused services, including:

• Professional and leadership coaching for individuals, executives and corporate teams

• Training and development programmes to build skills, strengthen leadership and improve team performance

• Mentoring for career transitions and personal advancement

• Consulting services in organisational culture, change management and team effectiveness

• Wellness and mindfulness programmes, integrating emotional resilience into personal and business environments

• Keynote speaking and workshops for corporate events and conferences

• Group coaching circles, creating peer-based support communities

• Online courses and e-learning for flexible learning

• Fertility support discussions for individuals and couples navigating complex emotional journeys

• Boy child advocacy programmes, offering development, guidance and emotional support for young boys

This combination of skills, mentorship and emotional intelligence positions 361 Tranquil Touch as an emerging holistic leader in the coaching and wellness space.

 

Overcoming Challenges with Resilience

Building the business came with early challenges, particularly the transition from a corporate role to full entrepreneurship. Establishing trust and visibility in a competitive coaching market required consistency, learning and the ability to demonstrate tangible results.

Maharaj also continued to navigate her personal journey of grief while establishing the business. She credits resilience, a commitment to continuous learning and the support of mentors and loved ones for helping her push forward with clarity and purpose.

Milestones and Industry Recognition

Since its launch, 361 Tranquil Touch has supported individuals, businesses and teams to unlock potential, build confidence and move through personal and professional change. Maharaj has contributed to respected platforms such as Wellness Warehouse Magazine, I Am Warrior Magazine and Business Hub Leaders to Legends Magazine, and has delivered keynote talks at numerous events. Her media presence includes appearances on 91.9 Radio with Samm Marshall and Tea with Queens, with her first book currently being published by The KREST House.

For Maharaj, the greatest milestones remain the success stories of her clients — the individuals who regain clarity, the teams that transform performance and the leaders who step into purpose with renewed confidence.

 

A Business That Touches Lives

361 Tranquil Touch is supported by a strong network of family, mentors, colleagues, clients and community. Maharaj acknowledges the role her husband, children, father and sisters have played in keeping her grounded and driven, while the clients, readers and audiences she works with continue to inspire her purpose.

A Typical Day at 361 Tranquil Touch

No two days are the same. Maharaj’s work spans coaching sessions, organisational consulting, corporate workshops, writing, keynote speaking and content development for online learning. She regularly facilitates wellness programmes, advocacy initiatives for boys, and supportive discussions for individuals facing fertility challenges. Her days often begin and end with reflection — a central part of the balanced, mindful philosophy that shapes her approach.

Looking Ahead: A Global Vision

Over the next five years, Maharaj intends to scale 361 Tranquil Touch locally and internationally. Growth plans include:

• Expanding coaching and mentoring programmes

• Increasing online learning and group coaching circles

• Broadening advocacy initiatives for boys and fertility support

• Strengthening mental-wellness and resilience programmes for workplaces

• Building a recognised ecosystem for human-centred development

Her long-term vision: a dynamic platform that helps people and organisations navigate growth with clarity, balance and purpose.

Lessons for Small Business Founders

From her journey, Maharaj shares several lessons for entrepreneurs:

• Start with a clear mission and strong sense of purpose

• Expect setbacks, and meet them with resilience

• Invest in learning and mentorship

• Build relationships and community

• Start small and scale gradually

• Protect balance and mental well-being

• Let passion and purpose drive impact

A Guiding Philosophy

“Every ending opens the door to a new beginning.”

This phrase captures the spirit of 361 Tranquil Touch — that transformation is continuous, and every chapter carries the opportunity to rise stronger.
