My Story
The most creative act is the act of creating yourself.
My life's work centers on one important inquiry: what does it take to get out of our own way and cultivate the soul-and-heart-led life of our dreams?
Nearly 20 years of corporate life, entrepreneurial projects, cross-country moves, and radical self-reinvention have taught me that real success has nothing to do with what looks impressive to others.
Real success is standing fully in your power as the most honest, soul-aligned version of yourself with nothing to prove to anyone. I help people walk through the hardest parts of that process - the resistance to change, the fear, the questions, the costs - to get to the other side. I help bridge the gap between who you are today and who you are becoming.
I've walked this path myself. For decades I held onto pain, trauma, and stories that kept me disconnected from myself, driven by unconscious fears and in constant survival mode. I moved through divorce at 34 - grieved the loss of a decade-long marriage - navigating an epilepsy diagnosis and sitting in rock bottom until eventually, growth wasn’t negotiable but inevitable. Until I broke through the resistance to what awaited for me, what was always meant for me, and what I always wanted but felt out of reach.
Today I’m an entrepreneur, coach and intuitive guide, sound practitioner, singer, and designer. I’m the founder of Studio Issa, a creative and healing arts practice that designs sacred spaces for deep connection, spiritual resonance and inner transformation. I’ve learned how to step into a multi-disciplinary identity without losing myself or the purpose in the process. I manifested my soulmate. And I help others grow into who they need to be to do the same.
I bring 20+ years of business leadership development, experience facilitating healing spaces, and over 15 years as a practitioner of Yoga. As a sound therapy facilitator, I create sound journeys that weave sound, live song, and music into vessels for deeper self-love, connection, and clarity. I draw from a diverse musical background across Eastern, Western, ancient shamanic and sound healing principles. I’ve studied in the lineage of renowned sound researcher Alexandre Tannous. My ceremonies are rooted in my ancestral heritage of the Levant and West Asia, incorporating voice and often singing Armenian, Arabic, Hebrew, and Spanish folk and medicine songs.
My coaching is for people moving through transformational periods in relationship, purpose, and career. My clients develop the tools to expand their capacity for healing and breakthrough - calling in healthy love, higher purpose, and abundance.Together we understand your inner world in order to illuminate what's ready to be worked through, and bring clarity and alignment to what comes next.
Based in Los Angeles, I travel frequently to work with clients and host events
