“Elaine is deeply caring, highly intelligent and creative with a gentle humour. She listens with a sixth sense and guides her clients into understanding the underlying truth of their situation. Expect magic!”
When people meet me they know they are getting something different.
They know they are surrendering to a creative process to transform what is not working any more.
From the plane of all possibility, their new reality emerges.
My personal story of rewiring my own brain has gifted me the power of reorienting energy.
I am able to listen deeply, going beyond the situation, to hear what is not being expressed. From this place of true presence, I hear the next question that is wanting to be asked of you.
This is my mastery.
Deep inquiry expands your consciousness and informs a strategy for action.
My background is a synthesis.
It is diverse, unconventional and holistic. I draw from this in assisting clients to pay attention and move toward their high level vision. Many of them are pivoting from corporate to philanthropic or creative pursuits and require guidance.
The consulting and coaching practice I’ve developed harnesses 20+ years as a naturopathic doctor and combines that knowledge with a unique process that intersects neuroscience, relationship systems, and contemplative wisdom.
First practicing in multidisciplinary clinics, then with medical doctors, even speaking on radio shows all over the globe on the topics of Listening, Resilience, Conscious Leadership, and Life Transition.
My interests led me into an examination of the creative process, and I began dipping my toes in the world of coaching after going to Australia for a unique training on creative processes to help people figure out their life’s passion.
Since then I have become a master of deep listening.
Asking a new question.
Telling a story that resonates profoundly.
Teaching consciousness.
The last four years have been filled with spiritual exploration. Quantum Physics, Relationship Systems Theory, Neuroscience and Eastern Philosophies have become my lens to new possibilities.
Finding ancestral grounding & spiritual rooting.
Meeting monks in Vietnam.
A 7-year apprenticeship with an Indian shaman.
Traveling to Italy, Spain, Japan and Thailand.
All to say I’ve followed a distinct path and gathered more than a few colourful stories. These experiences have been magical, eye-opening and filled with universal lessons (read my blog for a few of them).
Today I am in the business of change.
My offering is a modern, creative coaching process. The foundation of which is western science and eastern wisdom traditions. It intends to bring harmony to your relationship with self, life and career as you realign your energy and develop the resilience to successfully move through a transition.

i walk with you.

I’ve had the privilege of coaching hundreds of individuals through their transitions; witnessing the remarkable pivot that is possible when internal energy flow aligns with the external flow of business and relationships.
Sessions are designed to recalibrate energies of your body/mind/soul so you can make choices that feel good and support the life you want to live.
What People Are Saying
✶
“I turned to Elaine Sano for support at a time in my life when I struggled with imposter syndrome. On paper I had a successful business and marriage, but I felt like I was failing the people who mattered most including myself. I no longer felt good about my work and personal relationships.
As an executive who is constantly on for her family, staff and clients, it was difficult to disconnect from these formal roles to turn inwards.
Elaine came thoughtfully prepared to each meeting, pouring so much of her own energy into the work which naturally reciprocated. With my permission, Elaine engaged my colleagues and friends to help guide the discovery process to ensure I could see what others saw in me to gain clarity. What set Elaine apart is her strong and innate ability to connect and offer a holistic experience. In addition to Elaine’s advanced coaching techniques, she applied her background in meditation and naturopathy to provide me the tools to progress in the short term while setting me up for success long-term.
Elaine also helped me tune out the noise and tap into my creative energy.”

“Our sessions began in a beautiful space where I felt comfortable and nourished. I was fully in control of what I wanted to traverse, and as time went on I was led down a path of insight and healing solutions related to childhood trauma and current issues. I cannot think of a more qualified and caring therapist to navigate these very delicate and painful issues. Elaine's approach included an extensive knowledge of naturopathic medicine and years of experience... She took detailed notes each time we met and was able to zero in on important information and experiences. Her approach was imaginative and tailored to my needs. In addition to her extensive training and experience she has highly developed intuition and innate knowledge allowing her to understand and speak to issues other therapists might miss.”
