We live in a world that rarely teaches us the skills and the tools we need to fully embody the version of ourselves that can live our life to its fullest potential; joyful, aligned and free. We learn math, science and history; but we’re not really taught understanding, compassion and empathy. We are told to choose certain jobs over others; but we’re not really encouraged to fully explore our uniqueness in a way that will allow us to fully thrive when choosing and pursuing a career. We are taught to use our mind, but we are rarely taught to listen to our body’s wisdom. We are conditioned to believe that happiness is in the acquisition of external things, when it has always been within us.

Over time, we build up walls of conditionings and trauma that don’t create the space for us to attract the life we were meant to live. We stay stuck in a survival loop, trapped by the stories of our past, unable to get what we want and deserve. Or when we think we do, something is still missing. We end up getting more and more disconnected from ourselves and nature, and further away from our inner light. 

I believe that when we choose to be vulnerable and do “the work” - learning, growing and evolving into the best humans we can be, life unfolds in the most beautiful way even within all of the challenges that come up. And when we can anchor this work not only in the self, but remember that in doing this work we also help heal and transform our communities, the collective and our planet, our life becomes imbued with so much meaning, love and magic.

Kind words from clients

  • ELLINA SUKHARENKO - Conscious Life Coach, DJ & Co-founder SolSun Movement

    Nour came highly recommended by a good friend and I loved her energy through her online presence, so I gave her sessions a try. Her style resonated with me so much that she now works with my clients as well and they all really enjoy her sessions. I would highly recommend Nour to anyone who is on a conscious, healing journey. Her energy and wisdom are true gifts and I am grateful that she is sharing them with the world.

  • GEORGE YUEH - Transformational Life Coach

    Taking Nour’s classes regularly has helped me clear out stagnant energy that builds up from stress at work, relationships, dating and finances. It enables me to show up more powerfully in my day, reset and refreshed. It allows me to think more clearly, feel more deeply and be most connected with my authentic self. It helps me show up more kind, patient, compassionate and understanding. Her sessions also help me channel visions of how I want to show up in my business and relationships and give me an opportunity to listen to my intuition and inner truth.

  • IVY FREDERICKS - Permaculture Designer

    The moment I met Nour, my life gained clarity. Her teachings gave me a sense of wholeness and lightness. I shed layers of me by regulating my nervous system, cultivating life force (prana), and re-connecting with my heart, all to make space for the life I have now. Fully present. Fully in love. Fully in my power. Thank you Nour, I will forever be grateful for the support your craft and presence have given me.

  • REEM EL SHARIF - Singer, Songwriter, Producer and Show Host

    Working with Nour has allowed me to heal from traumas that go as far back as 20 years ago, to be stress free and detached from many toxic relationships and habits, and to find greater clarity. I have experienced transcendental states of being, received downloads and visions that have changed my life. All of this has helped me break through some major blocks and barriers while at the same time reaching new creative levels in my work. I cannot express my gratitude enough. Nour is a warrior of light, an angel that can guide you in finding your own light.

  • AKAL ANAND - Kundalini Yoga Priestess & Breathwork Facilitator

    I cannot recommend Nour Elise enough. Her attention and kindness was present every time we connected. She has a very natural caring energy and right away I knew she was someone I could trust to guide part of my program. Her guidance is thorough, soft, nurturing, accepting and extremely intuitive. Our participants felt immensely privileged to have experienced Breathwork with her. She is a vessel of beauty through and through. I am so grateful for this angel!

  • FERNANDA SOARES - Marketing & Communications Manager, Life Coach

    Nour genuinely loves and cares for the people she shares her work with. The authenticity and grace with which she shows up for others inspires us to show up for ourselves and others in the same way - it’s quite a magnificent ripple effect. Her work is truly unique and one-of-a-kind, as she wholeheartedly creates a safe and sacred experience by blending kind and loving guidance, inspiring musical beats and the power of our life force.

  • Kaleigh Vaughn - Founder & Creator of Lost Lover Body Care

    I’d like to begin by speaking on how warm Nour’s heart is. Breathwork can be intimidating for those new to the exploration, but I instantly trusted Nour to guide me through that process. I came to her sessions incredibly broken down from personal trauma, but my heart was open and ready to do the work to heal. I highly recommend her classes especially to anyone wanting to try breathwork or seeking transformation. It’s one of the most beautiful modalities I’ve ever experienced and have to say it changed my life. I am so grateful that I got introduced to such a kind and special woman.

  • ZINEB MOURAD - Event Planner

    I decided to try Nour's breathwork classes for the first time and oh my... it has changed my life forever! I was completely new to this world and didn’t know what to expect, but it was totally worth it. It helped me process so many emotions and stress and it became a huge part of my monthly routine. I then decided to take her yoga classes which pushed me to another level and helped me express myself in a new way. I can’t ever recommend her work enough as it helped me through some of the darkest times and I started my healing journey thanks to her guidance.

  • FRÉDÉRIC HOUVILLE - Private School Teacher

    Working with Nour and attending her breathwork sessions has been quite an extraordinary experience. I was dealing with body aches on a regular basis which affected my mood, but after a few months of working with her, all of my stress symptoms and aches had gone away and I was able to enjoy life again. I am grateful to Nour for this positive change – her sessions have provided something I was evidently missing and complemented my self-care routine in wonderful ways.

My name Nour means “light”. Interestingly, I knew from a very young age that my purpose in life was to guide people in their healing journey and in shining their own light. Little did I know how much healing I needed to go through myself first!

I grew up a very sensitive little girl, feeling and seeing things in people that many couldn't. I was also a very talented child, but despite that talent I was unbelievably self-conscious, lacked confidence and had a very deep fear of being seen. When I started to date, I had deep attachment wounds and patterns that repeated themselves over and over again. At twenty-two after finishing university, I felt so lost and confused about life that I fell into depression. I started working with a therapist and having always had a passion for health, psychology and personal development, I went deep into my self-growth journey.


At twenty-five I experienced a huge shift. I left the relationship that I was in at the time after being in relationship after relationship since I was sixteen. Despite being strongly encouraged to take a more traditional path and pursue a PhD in psychology, I listened to my heart and enrolled in a Health & Wellness Coaching Master’s program. In parallel, I deepened my spiritual practice and enrolled in a Yoga Teacher Training Program. That year was the most transformational year of my life up until then. I started to experience a sense of self-love and wholeness I had never experienced previously. For the first time in my life I felt happy outside of a romantic relationship and I finally felt like I was becoming more aligned with my purpose. When I think back at the girl I once was, the amount of growth and transformation I experienced within myself feels like true alchemy.

From the girl who had the deepest fear of public speaking, I became a woman who now speaks, teaches and guides small and large groups around the world. From the girl who did not know how to be secure in a romantic relationship and often attracted non-committal ones, I am now in a healthy and beautiful partnership that I am grateful for every day. From the girl who struggled to grow a fruitful and successful business, my business has never been as healthy and thriving. From the girl who did not know how to love herself, I am learning to love myself more and more every day. Today I get to lead, teach and guide people through the different processes I had to go through while empowering them with the tools to live a fulfilling life.
