About me

My name is Jasmina Sabrihafizović.

I come from a long line of hafizes and imams of the Gazi Husrev-beg’s Mosque. The essence of their resilience and guardianship of the sacredness of creation as well as an inner calling to support purposeful endeavours of kindred spirits is deeply embedded in my character.

I grew up in Sarajevo under siege during the genocide, fell in love with the city through my youth and its re-emergence, and keep choosing it as my home and work base. To me, Sarajevo a place of ever-living possibility, renewal, gathering and rebuilding.

My life is about truth, excellence, meaning, nobility, resilience, joy, peace, playfulness, adventure, connection and bringing and bridging different worlds together to do good.

I am a Sufi, wife (married to my soulmate), mom (of a wonderful creative pre-teen girl), daughter (of two generous empathic souls).

A friend for deep conversations over a good cappuccino or really nice herbal tea. And sweets, lots of fine, made with love, sweets. Preferably at my husband’s beloved home in the woods, my sanctuary studio in the city or somewhere else where presence is undisturbed and we can actually meet each other.

My career

I’m an engineer, integral coach and triber.

My career, spanning over 20 years, includes IT engineering and project management, business development and life-long learning support in NGOs and engagements in fields like social business, mentoring, poverty alleviation, advocacy, trauma healing, even first responder’s experience.

How it evolved

My original vocation is that of an electrical/IT engineer (worked as a software developer and project/team manager in old-fashion waterfall model corporate intercontinental corporation and later in the first agile IT startup in B&H, for 7 years).

The purpose then lead me to the social sector, where I’ve co-built from scratch and led a business community for entrepreneurs and professionals in the most successful faith based female NGO in B&H (3 years).

I’ve then naturally grown into coaching. Since this was a time of a very intensive personal trans-generational family, war and collective trauma healing and spiritual seeking, awakening and growth, my coaching expanded into an authentic integral model I am now offering to my clients.

What I’m doing

The methodology I’m using is a combination of integral development coaching, psychology, engineering, neuroscience, experiential knowledge, intuition and practice as well as wisdom passed onto me by teachers of essence.

To my knowledge, I am the only ICF certified Integral Development Coach in South East Europe. I hold a PCC certificate from Thirdspace London, UK / New Ventures West SF, USA and a Coaching Circles certificate from Impact Coaching (Charles Brassard), Canada.

I have individually advised, mentored, trained and coached more than 300 people and innumerable groups.

A few other things you might find interesting or important

I am also a spiritual poet, serial social entrepreneur and an engaged and passionate social activist.

I love reading, cooking, nature, dark chocolate, dates, perfumes and things made with love.

I bring all of this into my work.
(Yes, the cooking, dates and chocolate too!)

I am committed to creating a meaningful and lasting legacy for the people of today and the generations that are coming after us and love doing it with like-hearted and like-minded people.
