Welcome! I'm Grace Sander 😊

I am a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach, Certified Life Coach, Master in Transformational Coaching Method, as well as a wife and mother to two amazing kids.

Thank you for taking an interest in getting to know me. I'll be as open and honest as I possibly can with you!

Let's start from the beginning

I was born in the Philippines and moved to Toronto with my family when I was 10 years old. Throughout my twenties, I embarked on a leadership career, steadily climbing the corporate ladder. Starting as a data clerk, I gained experience as a coach for operators, production support officer, assistant manager in operations, and eventually became a senior manager overseeing courier and mail room services nationally.

Driven by my hunger for growth as a leader, I actively sought out opportunities to expand my knowledge and skills. It was during this time that I was offered a transformative project, collaborating with Canada's top five financial institutions to revolutionize their transportation and courier models for the digital banking era. I co-founded a leadership network aimed at nurturing and educating employees, while promoting inclusivity and equality.

However, everything changed dramatically at this point.

Despite the recognition and accolades I received, the company culture took a toxic turn, misaligned with my values. It became clear that I could no longer grow within the organization. It was a difficult decision to leave behind the team and career I had nurtured for almost 20 years.

This pivotal moment in my life took a toll on my well-being. Overwhelmed by the demands of leadership, motherhood, and personal relationships, my mental, emotional, and physical health suffered. Seeking recovery, I reached out to professionals, including doctors and health and wellness coaches, to support my healing journey. I embraced the need for change and embarked on a search for a path that combined my passion for leadership and teaching, leading me to discover the powerful world of coaching. With great enthusiasm, I enrolled in a Health and Life coach program and obtained my certification in the field.

There is one more thing I forgot to mention...

Following my graduation, I was unsure of my specific focus as a coach. Nevertheless, driven by a desire to serve, I didn't wait any longer. Thus, Grace Sander Coaching was born! Shortly after, I began working with clients and pursued advanced training as a Transformational Coaching Method Master. Eager to provide the best care possible, I dedicated months of study and successfully achieved board certification as a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach.

Today, I continue to prioritize my overall health with unwavering support from my doctors, coaches, and, most importantly, my husband and kids.
