coach

Small Bio: My passion is working with entrepreneurs and changemakers who are experiencing pain, stress, and relationship difficulties as they strive to become better leaders. To assist my clients in leading from their most authentic Self, I integrate physical therapy, executive leadership, and embodiment coaching. I reside in Lebanon's little village of "Ajaltoun" with his wife and their newborn son. I enjoy running and salsa dancing. My Story: My name is Elie Khoury, and I'd like to tell you my story. I had to deal with chronic distress, a sense of insecurity, and weakness when I was born right after an explosion during the Lebanese civil war.  With no one empowering me to rediscover my authentic self, I spent most of my time looking for heroes, gurus, information, and credentials, while proving and pushing myself in order to fit in and feel powerful. Today, after practicing and being certified in leadership embodiment, I realize that my authentic self comes from within me, and I live from a place of inner power, love, and wisdom.  I now reside in Lebanon's little village of "Ajaltoun" with my wife and my newborn son. I enjoys running and salsa dancing. My everyday passion is working with entrepreneurs and change makers who are experiencing pain, stress, and relationship difficulties as they strive to become better leaders. To assist them to lead from their most authentic Self, I integrate physical therapy, executive leadership, and embodiment coaching. Certificates: I have a Doctorate of Physical Therapy and a Master's Degree in Podiatry, am certified in the McKenzie Method of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy, am an expert in postural therapy, an accredited Life /Executive Leadership Coach (ICF), an NLP certified practitioner, an NLP coach, a timeline therapist, a hypnosis practitioner (ABNLP), and an "Embodiment Coach." Testimnonial : BodyMind Healing and Leadership/Entrepreneurship Growth: On a personal level, two major improvements are on the right path: First, understanding and awareness regarding the effect of body to mind and emotions. We are used to the effect of our emotions on our body, coaching with Elie opened for me the perspective of the effect of body habits on the mind. Second, shifting patterns and new values: After awarness, changing patters and rising of new values is making a major shift in my life. Values such as freedom, self love and fairness are becoming a priority and are being reflected on new actions in my life. Coaching had direct positive impact on the social enterprises i co-founded and manage. Of course it was not the only factor for the improvements mentioned below, but it had an important role in achieving them: First, coaching on self love enabled me to go out from overloading myself with work tasks and focus more on recruiting. This had an important effect on growing the team, scaling impact and improving the sustainability of the endeavours with less reliance on the founding team. Since the start of coaching since around 6 months, i recruited 2 persons to delegate part of the tasks. Second, reigniting innovation and refocusing on objectives and projects i would like to be more involved in. This enabled me to work more on ProAbled Academy and planning the regional expansion. We are currently opening ProAbled Academy international branch in UAE https://www.linkedin.com/in/samersfeir/ From wheelchair to walking in 7 sessions: I suffered with chronic pain and lost the ability to walk at age 21, I tried many treatments and visited many doctors all over Lebanon but nothing helped. I did countless physiotherapy sessions since I was 12 none of which helped.This was my life , till I met Dr.Elie Khoury who tried new methods of physiotherapy (McKenzie method) combined it with his embodiment coaching skills, giving me back the compassion, trust, confidence and hope that I lost through this long journey. Finally, I walked on my own legs after the 7th session with him. It has been a year and a half since I met him and with every session I learn new exercises and movements from body scan and much more which help me understand the relation between my emotions, pain, and thoughts to solve the problem from its roots. Thanks to him I am living with less pain,and more joy. https://www.linkedin.com/in/dalia-yaacoub-0a7329170/
