About

Willo Sana

Bestselling author, serial entrepreneur, and mentor to visionaries. I help creative founders turn a lifetime of ideas, skills, and hard-won experience into an aligned business that finally fits.

20+ years in business, and I’m more aligned & in love with this work than ever before

As a seasoned entrepreneur, self-employed since 2002, I’ve consistently faced my fears, followed my heart, and founded over half a dozen creative small businesses.

Throughout my career, I’ve co-founded startups, developed numerous online programs, delivered keynotes on international stages, and co-produced and contributed to several in-person retreats and conferences, all focused on supporting and empowering creative, visionary entrepreneurs.

Being more aligned and in love with this work doesn’t mean it’s always been easy. Growing something you pour your heart into asks for real inner work, the identity and shadow work of facing your fears, shedding old stories, and coming home to who you really are.

That inner work is exactly what I wrote about in my bestselling book, Double Down on Your Genius: Own Your Gifts, Align Your Actions, and Flourish in Your Calling (2024), which reflects over a decade of transformative work with emerging leaders around the world.

My approach to business coaching and consulting is holistic, because YOU are the individual at the center of your business. And, as a creative visionary, led by your intuition and the waterfall of ideas constantly knocking on your door, you know full well that your life and your business are interconnected.

If you’re anything like me, you're in business for yourself because you love the work you do. In fact, you didn't even really plan it... IT CHOSE YOU.

And now you're here, and whether you're two years or ten years in, you're still learning and growing.

One thing's for sure: you love not having to answer to a boss, or commute to a 9-to-5. Instead, you get to set your own schedule, you have no ceiling on your income and you get to work with the clients you love.

When it's good, it's goooood!

However, when your business is coming through you as a creative visionary with a calling, it's more precious. And it can be very vulnerable, and downright terrifying as you shift and evolve and grow.

As a result, it’s all too easy to get in your own way and find yourself paralyzed in fear, running like a hamster spinning your wheels, or completely derailing and self-sabotaging. Sound familiar?

Now, I’m a business coach, so your bottom line is important to me. I want to see you making more money, while doing what you love.

However, this work is about SO much more.

I’ve seen so many brilliant creatives – no matter how long they’ve been in business – squander their brilliance, waste time with inefficient systems, or find themselves completely STUCK because they’re terrified of doing it "wrong"... or even paralyzed in the face of potential success!

I’m a Doula for Hatching Big Ideas, helping you face the fears, breathe through the intensity, and hold the faith for what’s possible when you’re birthing something new into the world. That’s why I offer Emotional Support AND Strategic Guidance, because you deserve someone holding both the tender parts and the strategic ones as you build.

Let’s dive in

Transformational results

My clients say it best

Colleen ThorntonColleen ThorntonFounder, Threshold
I launched a business in six weeks
“I set up and launched a business, and I have my first client. I'm flabbergasted that all this happened in six weeks. Willo is confident without a trace of arrogance, and she genuinely just wants to see people succeed and share their gifts.”
Krystal LaukKrystal LaukArtist & Creator of Pissed Off Moms
I found my calling with total trust in myself
“I'd spent so much of my career being critical with myself and trying to do things in a masculine way that didn't feel like me. Willo reframed things every step of the way, and I found my calling with total trust and belief in myself and my intuition. I learned to navigate in my flow and let serendipity happen.”
Maureen SmithMaureen SmithCurator of beauty and magic, Embrace Your Third Act
The best thing I ever invested in
“Working with Willo this year was the best thing I ever invested in. When you commit and invest in yourself, your inner knowing and your dreams, your entire universe can reorganize into a living, breathing, life-affirming experience. I got a raise and a promotion, and started two new businesses along the way.”
Roberta RussoRoberta RussoConscious Working Coach
I filled my first live course, then eight of them signed on for more!
“Willo is perfect if you want to launch a business aligned with your values and your heart. I love her empathy and her ability to make you see your light beyond fear. I filled the first group of my first live course with ten people, and then eight of them chose to continue with a month of one-to-one mentoring.”
Erika HelstromErika HelstromProject Manager & Operations Specialist
I've stepped into my power
“Willo gave me a space where I could express all the challenges in my life without judgement, and helped me find clarity and direction to move through my limiting beliefs. I've gained a profound confidence in my professional experience, and I've stepped into my power, recognizing the value and worth I bring.”
Dina-Marie WeineckDina-Marie WeineckLife & Business Coach for Soul-centered Innovators
She will kick your ass, and she truly loves you
“Willo's coaching is unapologetically revealing, deeply integrative, and fiercely loving. She will kick your ass, and she truly loves you. I'm back in the active business-building game, sensing the shift I'd been longing for: building by taking inspired action.”
Maggy SternerMaggy SternerBusiness & Branding Coach
Willo, you have the trifecta
“Working with Willo will keep you honest and on track for your business. You'll get challenged, with love and humor, to get your shit together and recognize your powerful-ass self as a woman who can rise up and meet herself as the leader of her business. Willo, you have the trifecta: you know how to do the tech stuff, you've got the strategy, and you've got the spiritual and personal growth. Thank you for your intelligence, love, and the humor you bring!”
Michal CheneyMichal CheneyFounder, No Drip Painting
She helps change your life, not just your business
“Willo can change your life, not just your business. She knows how to draw out your inner conflicts, help you see them, and address them. I realized the real work was the story I was telling myself, and now I can recognize it and change the dialogue I have with myself.”
Seonaid BeckwithSeonaid BeckwithFounder & Online Course Creator
Willo's coaching made me much more aware of what's been holding me back
“Willo is so supportive, perceptive and loving. She clarified some of my patterns and where they come from, and helped me realize that I don't need to be so hard on myself. Working with Willo [on my way to 7-figures in my business] has allowed me to let go of the belief that it's immoral to want to make money.”
Erin HickokErin HickokCreator of Cards for Connection® & Founder
Highly recommend working with Willo!
“Willo helped me grow my business and my audience by holding space and advocating for my goals. She helped me shift limiting beliefs and rewrite new, positive beliefs: My writing and my voice ARE valuable. People WANT to come play in my world... people will PAY to come play in my world!”
Kelley MountainKelley MountainSelf Love Coach
Willo walks her talk!
“Willo is a mastermind with her work and is so tuned into the spiritual journey that accompanies business development. She really gets the holistic approach - how the person fuels the biz and the biz fuels the person. Willo strongly held me accountable and pushed me to my edge in a firm yet compassionate way. Now I know I have what it takes to win this game, and thanks to Willo's help, I'm on the right track in creating optimal success!”
Rahaf HarfoushRahaf HarfoushStrategist & NYT Best-Selling Author
Willo turns your doubts into opportunities for growth
“So much of what we fear is just built up anxiety from our brains and not the reality. We are often our harshest critics, and it's self-care not self-doubt that help us move forward. Willo is an emotionally safe space that translates your doubts into opportunities for growth and amplifies the whispers of your confidence until you can do it yourself.”

My journey

From sustaining to thriving

I’ve had many incarnations in my businesses, and I’ve learned one thing above all:

There is no greater teacher for your personal and spiritual development than growing your own business. Entrepreneurship puts you face-to-face with your fears and taxes you emotionally, physically, and mentally.

There’s building Momentum in your business, and then there’s Abundant Expansion, when you’re expanding your capacity for bliss as you blossom into new realms of embodied leadership, love and financial success. Which is the sweet spot!

Bottom line is, regardless of where you are on your entrepreneurial path, we all need love and support. As humans, and especially as creatives, messengers, and visionaries.

There is nothing like the power of conscious, loving, experienced support.

For the last several years, I’ve had the honor of traveling around the world, offering high-level coaching and consulting to best-selling authors, spiritual coaches, healers, and conscious creators, helping them feel more confident and clear, truly THRIVE, and take aligned, heart-centered action as they serve the world with their gifts.

If you feel like Emotional & Strategic Support is what you have been looking for, to help you grow personally and professionally - let’s talk.

Lastly, I want you to remember two things:
