About Lisa Zahiya

I'm Lisa Zahiya, nationally known as a business strategist and life coach who helps:

• Women cultivate lives on their own terms;
• Mission-driven entrepreneurs make more and give more;
• Small business owners scale quickly through effective digital marketing and products.

After receiving a BS and a MBA from the University of Maryland, I served as a director of marketing at Sylvan Learning Centers. I had always dreamed of being a professional dancer and left my corporate career to pursue my dreams of dance. I opened the award-winning Studio Zahiya and traveled as a professional belly dance teacher and performer.

I found that I enjoyed the community of body positivity, confidence, and success that Studio Zahiya created for my clients. I then furthered my goal of empowering others by training to be a life coach and opened a very successful coaching business. I have trained and hold coaching certificates with the following:

• Certified Coach (Coach U)
• Advanced Master Coach (CTI)
• Infinite Possibilities Trainer and Trailblazer (Mike Dooley)
• Brene Brown Coaches Training
• Tony Robbins Leadership Training

I have now personally grown several seven-figure businesses reaching revenues of over 5 million dollars. I leverage this experience to help others pursue their dreams and have had six clients grow their businesses to over 1 million dollars in revenue.

I am based in New York, NY, where I own Lisa Zahiya Coaching.

I travel nationally and internationally as a workshop teacher and speaker. 

I have been featured in:

• Forbes
• PR Newswire
• Asheville Citizen-Times cover
• Dean Graziosi’s New Life Challenge
• …and more!

Speaking engagements have included:

• TEDx 2019
• Creative Mornings 2018
• BOLD Mindbody Conference with Magic Johnson and Arianna Huffington
• Tony Robbin’s Unleash the Power Within
• Lululemon Ambassador’s Conference (six-year ambassador)
• …and more!

I have been a dance teacher, performer and choreographer for over 15 years. Inspired by my own personal journey with dance and body image, my teaching focuses on:

• self worth
• building self esteem, and
• loving and dancing with they body you are in
