Sarika Kishore is a highly sought-after life coach based in Toronto, Ontario. Passionate about helping clients rediscover the magic of life, she equips people with the tools to adapt to any challenge and live life on their own terms. Specializing in working with women, she devised the signature program Be The Magician, which breaks into actionable steps and methods to identify, modify and defy their barriers to a successful life and take control of it.

The transformation made her realize that by helping other women, the work could create a ripple effect in the society, spreading happiness, hope and success to others.
