Coach Isabelle A. Sayed, in a nutshell:
(Scroll to the bottom to find out about my professional background and qualifications)
I have been supporting and encouraging people in life transitions from an early age (as far back as my teens!).
Having a defined passion for helping others reach their full potential, I went on to pursue a Bachelor’s degree, specialised in Human Relations at Concordia University. Although I grew immensely and exponentially through these studies, I felt a lack of spiritual material and nourishment, which lead me on my own personal learning journey.
In the last ten years, I have experienced life-transforming spiritual travels, experienced nun-hood at a Buddhist Ashram in northern Thailand, lost a lover to cancer, danced and sung my way back to wellness, read up on and trained in countless healing and wellness techniques, found my life partner, and transformed my dreams into reality.
That journey has lead me here, today, as an ever-evolving professional coach.
What I bring to the table
I am a creator, just like you.
I am in love with creation. The creation of:
* Joy
* Free spirit
* Deep contentment and peace
* A life that truly reflects who I am
