Jihane Labib - Executive & Team Coach
Great to meet you! My name is Jihane, and I’m truly excited to be a part of this wonderful community. I still vividly remember the moment I truly understood the power of coaching, it wasn’t in a conference room, but in a deep, impactful conversation with a senior executive who was struggling to navigate a significant change. In that moment, I realized how the right guidance could transform not only careers but entire lives. That realization has shaped my journey over the last 24 years, where I’ve had the privilege of working with CEOs, directors, and emerging leaders, helping them navigate transitions, build executive presence, and lead with confidence.
I hold the CF Master Certified Coach (MCC) credential and have advanced certifications in Team Coaching (ACTC) from the ICF. Additionally, I am an ICF Mentor & Assessor and a Senior Practitioner with EMCC (EIA N°: 202004078). I’m also a certified trainer in the UAE with expertise in DISC, EQ Flow, and TTISI 360°. In 2023, I was honored to be awarded Best Executive Coach. My academic background includes a Master’s in Business, Human Resources and Governance, and I’m currently a PhD candidate in Education & AI.
Coaching is not just my profession; it’s my passion. I look forward to connecting with each of you, sharing insights, and learning together as we continue to inspire growth and transformation in ourselves and others.
Here’s to an exciting journey ahead! ??Jihane Labib

Simona Mango - Holistic Life Coach
Hello! I’m Simona. I’m Swiss & Italian by birth, but I feel at home in many places around the world. I speak English, French, Spanish, and my two native languages, German and Italian. Oh, and the universal language, Music!
I've been a coach for as long as I can remember. As a child, I didn’t know the word coach, but I had a crystal-clear calling: to help others find their way out of pain and into happiness. And then, over the years, I was continuously led to develop new skills, so I could guide and teach in a truly intentional way.
Today, I’m a certified Life Coach, Spirituality Coach, and Intuitive Life Coach.?
My approach to everything in life is holistic. I see us as energy beings, and I understand how a strong connection to our own souls creates harmony in every area of our lives: our health, relationships, finances, professions and other activities.
That’s why my main focus is on Life Purpose Mentoring. Over the past two decades, I have come to understand that our alignment (or misalignment) with our higher purpose is the key element that will determine the outcome of our lives. True success isn’t measured by our résumés, our bank accounts, Instagram, or what our neighbors say. It’s measured by how we feel about every moment of every day, and about getting out of bed in the morning.
My work is to help you shift from the perspective of your mind - who is shortsighted, easily overwhelmed and scared, and doesn’t know who you are - to the perspective of your soul - who sees everything with perfect clarity, is limitless and fearless, and will remind you of your true power and purpose. ?
It will be an honor for me, to help you remember your greatness and reawaken to your radiance! ??Simona Mango

My philosophy is simple but profound: True wellness comes from the interconnection of Body, Mind, and Spirit, and real transformation begins with Mindfulness and Higher Consciousness. This belief is the foundation of my approach to healing and coaching. My own struggles with physical and emotional health at a young age were the catalyst that led me to pursue my Masters of Science in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. That journey sparked a lifelong passion for holistic health care, energy medicine, mindfulness, and neuroscience—fields that have since become my life’s work.
Over the past 25 years, I’ve had the privilege of working with clients from all around the world, helping them achieve a more balanced and healthy life. Whether it’s physical health, mental clarity, emotional resilience, or spiritual growth, I specialize in supporting my clients to create lasting, meaningful transformation. My goal is to help you heal, thrive, and unlock your fullest potential by working with both your mind and body.
There’s nothing more rewarding to me than seeing my clients not only recapture their health but also master their emotions, mindset, and intuition for accelerated success in life and leadership. I’m so excited to be a part of your journey, and I look forward to supporting you every step of the way as we work together to create the life you’ve always dreamed of!

Lorianna Steele - Stress Management Coach
Hello, I’m Lorianna, and my journey into holistic wellness began back in 2006 when I earned my BS in Health Promotion. I started designing wellness programs and educating others on how to lead healthier lives, but I soon realized that true wellness goes beyond just physical health. This realization inspired me to dive deeper into the world of holistic health, and in 2018, I became a Certified Holistic Wellness Coach. Since then, I’ve expanded my expertise into workplace wellness, life coaching, trauma-informed stress management, and somatic & sound healing, all with the goal of helping people live more balanced, fulfilling lives.
As a Certified Health Education Specialist, I’m truly passionate about teaching and guiding others to connect more deeply with themselves. I believe that true wellness comes from aligning the mind, body, and spirit, and I work with individuals to help them tap into that alignment. It’s incredibly fulfilling for me to witness the growth of my clients as they uncover their most authentic, connected versions of themselves.
Whether you’re looking to reduce stress, find greater purpose, or improve your overall well-being, I’m here to support you. I take great joy in helping others navigate their wellness journeys, providing the tools and guidance needed to create lasting, positive change.
