Kaley Zeitouni is a Best-Selling Author, Therapist, Coach, and Speaker who turned her challenges into a successful coaching business through sheer resilience and determination. At 12 years old, she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, but she knew that this diagnosis was not going to stop her and she became steadfast on making the most of life. After living with the disease for 17 years, using scientifically-backed mind-body techniques, she successfully eliminated the disease symptoms from her body. Although I've known Kaley for a long time in the non-profit space, we recently reconnected and I learned about her rebirth journey, how she became MS free and why she decided to become a grief coach. Through adversity and challenges, I know Kaley's story will push you into new growth.
