I'M SANDY KUSANO, HUMAN POTENTIAL COACH.

I’ve always been deeply curious about human potential.

WHEN I WAS 9, I STUDIED WITH A MONK WHO TAUGHT ME HOW TO MEDITATE AND CULTIVATE CURIOSITY ABOUT THE WONDERS OF THE UNIVERSE.

To help me understand, she had me read the children's classic, the Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. In the book, adults are portrayed as abstract and crazy. They search endlessly, yet they do not know what they're looking for.

They drown themselves in work, vanity, domination, drinking, and their own comfort zone. They work night and day and when asked what they're trying to accomplish, they give a lecture on the importance of money, and why their mindless hard work is worth the time and stress.

FAST FORWARD TO GRADUATING UNIVERSITY.

I began bartending and waiting tables - every tiger mom's worst nightmare.

After working my butt off for a decade , I landed my dream job. After working my way up from an entry level position, I rose the ranks and soon found myself landing roles that were created for me.

I worked around the world, meeting clients in Paris and Istanbul, researching in Rome, celebrating New Year’s Eve in Amsterdam. I was even relocated to London - my dream city!

For years, the work was thrilling, energizing, and even glamourous.
But despite manifesting every outcome I desired in my career, I wasn't fulfilled. I began to notice a voice telling me that there was more to life. It grew louder and louder until it became impossible to ignore. It was time.
I traded in my dream job for my dream life.

My passion has always been to help people understand what lies beyond their boundaries.

BUILDING ON MY DESIRE TO ENCOURAGE EXPLORATION OF THE EXTERNAL WORLD, I CAME UP WITH A WAY TO WORK WITH PEOPLE TO DISCOVER THEIR INNER WORLD.
I’ve created a coaching style that combines eastern and western philosophies as well as traditional coaching practices with innovative brain-body science to help you achieve your goals. I have learned from experts in the field and have integrated their best practices into my work so that I can help you get out of your own way.

I do this work because I know what it's like to have all the symbols of success and still feel unworthy, tired, and aimless. I do it because we live in a world that says, "You'll be happy when..." when you have your dream job, the perfect partner, the epic salary.

But what if the truth is, you don't have to wait?

WHAT IF YOU COULD BE IN YOUR JOY RIGHT NOW?

Together, we will start where you are and begin to create a life that you love.

I’ve worked with clients from around the world. Together, we’ve designed experiences that have permanently transformed their lives. I want to help you do the same.
I'M READY TO HAVE A POWERFUL CONVERSATION.
I'M READY TOO!
