Important Note: Along with my professional knowledge, I am not afraid to share my story
A #Humanizer, Psychotherapist, and all-around champion of the human experience. With a deep love for the behavioral sciences and a knack for making the tough stuff not just palatable, but transformative, Sajel has made a name for herself in high-pressure sectors like first responders, military, healthcare, and even the intense world of professional sports.
But don’t let the serious work fool you—Sajel is all about finding the possibilities in every challenge. She helps people move from Pain to Possibilities™ by embracing the full spectrum of life’s experiences, and she’s not afraid to take on the big, uncomfortable topics that others might shy away from. Whether she’s sharing on her #substack or on other media outlets, Sajel brings the conversation to the mainstream with wit, wisdom, and a whole lot of heart.
Sajel’s expertise isn’t just talk—she’s developed and delivered programs at world-class institutions and government agencies across Canada, the U.S., and Australia. In fact, she’s behind Canada’s first positive psychology and positive education certificate programs. Her true superpower? Creating spaces where people can redefine their work-life experiences, reconnect in their relationships, and rethink the stigmas that society has conditioned us to accept.
Her talks are a powerful mix of science and storytelling that keep audiences on the edge of their seats, challenging the status quo and inspiring real, life-changing action. Sajel doesn’t just speak to an audience—she engages, educates, and empowers them to break free from the learned thoughts and perceptions that have defined and confined them, opening up a world of new perspectives and possibilities.

Your warmth, humour and passion for your work were a treat to encounter. Regarding the presentation: I was touched by your openness, your compassion for those who are travelling a difficult road, and your encouragement to all who listened. Seeing the group respond to what you had to say, and to one another in the small group activity was evidence that it was a timely message that was well received. Your message of being free to be human, free to feel what we are feeling and the encouragement to have compassion for others and for ourselves gives much food for thought for all who were present, myself included. Thank you.
