Pamelaia Sanders, PhD
Pamelaia’s life work has always focused on helping others enrich their lives through heart-empowered processes to fulfill their divine purpose. Her mission is to equip people with the tools that encourage personal growth and permanent change. From mentoring young adults and women to preparing meals for the homeless to teaching within the church, university, and community for personal, professional, and spiritual empowerment, her passion for learning and living on purpose is contagious!
Pamelaia recalls sitting in a bible class as the instructor asked, “What is your divine purpose in life? Why are you on Earth at this appointed time?” Those questions stirred something deep within Pamelaia’s heart that prompted her to delve deeper and to begin asking questions that would change the trajectory of her life! She realized that her gift and purpose lay in educating and coaching others. That realization began her journey of experiencing the world beyond what she had always known.
Pamelaia transitioned out of corporate America and volunteered as a Business Consultant in the United States Peace Corps in Mali, West Africa. She had the challenging task of learning both French and Bambara (a West African dialect) before she began working and implementing numerous programs within her small, rural multi-lingual village.
Upon returning to the states, the deeply profound experiences obtained while working in Africa allowed Pamelaia to transition into educating and mentoring women’s groups from various socio-economic backgrounds as well as those with different spiritual beliefs.
Pamelaia has taught classes for youth and adults and has presented in organizations, churches, and schools across the United States. Some of the topics that she has either taught or facilitated include personal development, spiritual empowerment, leadership development, interpersonal group dynamics, transformational learning, and cultural diversity.
Pamelaia holds a doctorate degree in philosophy with a concentration in transformative learning and change. She is a life-long learner who is a certified life and leadership coach, a HeartMath Resilience trainer, a HeartMath coach and mentor, and as a certified workshop facilitator.
