    Changing your mindset will improve everything - including networking!

    Nadège Saysana, known as Nan, is a former English teacher from Paris who turned her personal struggles into a passion for helping others achieve the same kind of transformation she’s experienced. She’s a certified Life and Weight Loss Coach through The Life Coach School and Corinne Crabtree’s No BS Weight Loss University. Nan’s journey started with stress-eating, and she gets it. She’s been there—feeling like food had a hold on her. But today? She’s no longer binge eating or battling cravings. She sticks to her food plan effortlessly—chocolate included (because, yes, she knows life’s too short not to enjoy your favorites). At 50, Nan has also accomplished a dream she thought was out of reach—becoming a bodybuilder. She dropped three dress sizes along the way, and she’s determined to stay strong, fit, and vibrant for as long as possible, inspired by her 105-year-old grandmother. Over the past five years and a half, Nan has coached around 50 clients a week through The Life Coach School, helping them stop binge eating, overcome cravings, get rid of procrastination and stick to their goals. Her approach is straightforward, compassionate, and grounded in mindset shifts that make real, lasting changes. She’s helped clients lose weight, build muscle, reduce inflammation, and take control of their health—and, most importantly, feel proud of who they are around food. Based in Paris, Nan works with English-speaking clients from all over the world, with her adorable cat Eva by her side. Her philosophy is simple: Change doesn’t have to be hard. With the right mindset and tiny, healthy habits, transformation is not only possible—it’s inevitable. STEP 1 - Let’s connect!
