Meet Your Head Coach
Hi. I’m Diana Sahakian, a physical therapist with 20 years of experience, counsellor and business owner for 15 years. My own struggle with chronic pain and movement asymmetries and my journey to overcome physical challenges made me passionate about helping and empowering individuals to develop strategies to improve their health, wellness, exercise, eating, weight and stress management as well as emotional well-being.
I know that we lead busy and chaotic lives where we run ourselves down and wear ourselves out. We experience injuries, lack motivation and stop believing in what our bodies were meant to do. I’m here to guide you from assessing your current physical and emotional state to setting goals for your health and wellness and creating actions steps to achieve them.
Whether you’re a leader or stay-at-home mom, I’ll help you fulfill your potential through mindset and behavior change from a Christian perspective.
