  • Sabrina Badeaux

    With her roots in NYC, Sabrina Badeaux comes from a multidisciplinary background in sales, marketing, and operations. She has managed teams of over 275 people, identifying herself as a lighthouse, in that she provides illumination and guidance to the many large teams she has managed over the years. With all the qualities of a natural-born-leader, Sabrina eventually channeled her energies into the world of wellness, becoming a certified sound healer and landing a residency at the 1 Hotel, where she oversees all the mindful programming. Sabrina later launched her own wellness brand, Kanekshun, where she creates multisensory experiences rooted in breathwork, vibration, modalities of movement, sound healing, and meditation.

    Sabrina’s rich background in sales is what led her to develop her strong marketing strategies. In order to maximize her sales potential, she had to take the time to really understand marketing, which she later came to see from a storytelling perspective. Whether aesthetic or verbal, stories are how we can best communicate our message to others. Sabrina’s north star, as she describes it, is the question, “what impact will I make today?” Whether it be her, the individual she is coaching, the collective she is leading, or the story she is telling, Sabrina aims to make a positive, lasting impact on the world and people around her.
