Center for Transformational Coaching

I have been a transformational guide and mentor working with individuals and families for over 25 years. Nature is my source and inspiration along with the deep belief we are all one and connected through love.  Beyond the noise and limiting thoughts lives the truth of who we are. I invite all who seek a safe place to explore who you are at your deepest level.

For as long as I can remember I have been a seeker, traveler and adventurer.  The beauty of everything lies within, we just need to get out of our own way and unfold our true nature and highest self.  I invite all who are ready to explore their inner landscape. Let's take this walk in the woods together.

I grew up in Minnesota, the land of 10,000 lakes. My upbringing was tumultuous and troubled at times struggling to find my way through conflict, violence and mixed messages always looking for validation and acceptance from outside rather than from within. In 1984 I attended a seminar called the Awakening Heart, what awoke was a universal truth of love and became my guiding light and way of being. 

I have built my life of service to others by offering my gifts of presence, deep listening and vision to those doing the deeper work we are here for. My background is from years of experience. I’ve always strived to be a conduit allowing what wants to naturally come forward to emerge.

I offer customized wilderness treks, sailing adventures and photography journeys for those looking to slow down and connect with the natural world in harmony while doing their innermost work. 

"Doug coached me through some trauma issues that required a delicate touch, and he made me feel completely safe to share some of my deepest pain. He's compassionate and insightful. He has a knack for asking the most profound question at the most appropriate time, and I never felt him inserting his own views or beliefs into the conversation (which is extremely hard to do) or preaching or giving advice. He is an experienced professional, who's clearly worked on himself and his craft. I recommend him to anyone seeking his services—he seems beyond capable of handling any kind of issue. You name it, he'll be able to support you."

“Doug is an intuitive and compassionate coach who creates a safe and expansive container that allowed me to deepen into feelings that I had been avoiding In a way that no other coaching conversation had supported me to do. I have since found a much more wholistic relationship with my feelings and intuition that has allowed me to move in new directions in work and life.”

“Doug Sabo is a coach with a big heart. When you sit within his coaching presence you get a sense of being held in the warm wisdom of a non-judgmental guide with whom you feel safe to allow your Self to unravel and reveal itself. You come away from a session with Doug feeling as if a heart drop of loving kindness and insight has been fused with your soul.”
Steven L.

"Where Doug is, soul is. And where there is soul there is growth. Because when you are embraced for the totality of who you are, as Doug does when he coaches, the strength of your essential self begins to shine through. You begin to recognize your innate potential, and tap into a wisdom that you scarcely knew you had. In Doug you have a person who is there for you fully, no matter what is happening in your life. What a gift to give yourself."
