Full-spectrum coaching for high-potential people
​​​
​
from adolescence through early career, executive leadership, and values-driven legacy work. We coach people we call high potential, not because of titles or status, but because of their courage to engage in rigorous self-inquiry, their commitment to learning as a lifelong feedback loop, and their drive to lead with clarity and integrity.
IluminaLab is where
clarity becomes strategy,
purpose becomes a practice.
Our
Mission
Founded by Sarah de Sousa, IluminaLab is a coaching and development ecosystem for individuals and leaders committed to meaningful growth, clear decision-making, and aligned impact across the arc of their lives and careers.
​
Drawing from Applied Positive Psychology and Clarity Coaching, IluminaLab helps individuals and organizations build the insight, alignment, and strategic capacity needed to thrive in uncertain times.
​
More than just coaching, IluminaLab functions as a learning laboratory — a space for experimentation, reflection, and development across the lifespan. Our programs are designed to create momentum where it matters most: in decision-making, leadership presence, and purpose-driven performance. We intentionally remain a boutique practice so we can offer depth over scale, creating space for meaningful connection, honest reflection, and lasting transformation.
