Back to Essence Coaching

Gihan (pronounced Jehanne) is a certified life coach, trauma-informed coach, and grief specialist who brings deep empathy and sensitivity to her work—qualities rooted in her own experience as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). She supports people navigating life transitions such as loss, endings, starting over, and identity shifts, offering a safe and compassionate space to process grief, access inner wisdom, and find renewed meaning on the other side of change.

Her coaching is intuitive, grounded, and transformational drawing from a transpersonal approach that honours the emotional, psychological, and spiritual dimensions of healing and growth. Gihan also integrates tools, such as the Enneagram, into her work—inviting greater self-discovery and reconnection with our essence, or authentic selves, and more understanding and compassion for our conditioned selves, including the self-protective patterns, beliefs and behaviours that get in our way.
