About The Founder
Hi! I'm Dr Manisha Soni!
Communication Consultant | Voice & Accent Coach | Patient Advocate | Published Author
I spent over 25 years as a dental surgeon and specialist Periodontist before discovering a new direction for my career.
Throughout my clinical practice, I saw how much words mattered. A clear explanation could ease anxiety. A reassuring tone could build trust. And sometimes, the way something was said mattered as much as the information itself.
That understanding, combined with my longstanding interest in language, voice and human behaviour, led me into communication coaching.
Today, I help working professionals across industries, as well as doctors and healthcare teams, communicate with greater clarity, confidence and impact.
From Dentistry to Communication Coaching
Leaving an established clinical career was a significant decision. But I wanted to explore something that had always fascinated me: the human voice and its influence on how we think, feel and connect.
I trained in voice artistry, accent and diction, public speaking, anchoring and communication coaching.
Over the past decade, I've worked with professionals to improve how they speak, listen, present ideas and handle challenging conversations.
My work with corporate professionals, executives and other working professionals has shown me how often communication challenges appear in meeting rooms, presentations, interviews and everyday workplace conversations. My clinical background also gives me a particular understanding of communication in healthcare, where many of the same challenges arise.
Different settings. Different stakes. The same need to be understood.
What I Do Today
Through CommuniCareRx, I offer two distinct learning pathways:
Professional Communication
Helping working professionals strengthen their voice, confidence, executive presence, influence and ability to handle difficult workplace conversations.
Clinical Communication
Helping doctors and healthcare professionals explain clearly, build patient trust, navigate sensitive conversations and communicate effectively with colleagues.
My approach combines voice training, practical communication frameworks, real-world exercises and personalised feedback.
I believe effective communication is a skill that can be learned, practised and improved at any stage of life.
Published Author: Speak Up
I'm also the author of Speak Up: A Patient's Guide to Navigating Indian Healthcare.
My years as a clinician, together with my personal experiences navigating healthcare as a family member, made me realise how easily patients and caregivers can feel confused, overwhelmed or hesitant to ask questions.
I wrote Speak Up to help them understand medical conversations, ask informed questions, navigate hospitals, understand consent and patient rights, and participate more confidently in decisions about their care.
Beyond the Microphone
Outside my professional work, I'm an avid reader, a fitness enthusiast, a foodie and a lifelong learner.
Fluent in English, Hindi, Marathi and Gujarati, I enjoy exploring how language, culture and personal experience shape the way we communicate.
I believe there is always something new to learn, whatever our age or profession.

Founder's Note
“After more than 25 years in dentistry, I chose to begin again. It wasn't an easy decision, but it brought me closer to something I had always believed: words have enormous power.
Whether you're explaining a diagnosis, presenting an idea, speaking up in a meeting or having a difficult conversation, how you communicate can change what happens next.
That's why I created CommuniCareRx. I want to help people develop the skills and confidence to make those conversations count.”
