Neila Steele began her career as a Registered Nurse in Canada and the U.S., but felt drawn to something that spoke more deeply to her spirit. She moved toward education, took a leap abroad, and found her way into international schools. For more than two decades, she has lived and worked in France, Japan, Azerbaijan, Cambodia, China, Saudi Arabia, and Belgium. Each place changed her, deepening her understanding of culture, difference, and what it means to belong. Her years in Saudi Arabia hold a special place in her heart, where she learned about Muslim culture and had the honour of serving the local community. Neila is now back in Canada, with her best friend and husband, Andy, and their two boys. She is a Whole School Wellbeing Counsellor, a certified Compassionate Inquiry practitioner, and a yoga teacher. Nursing taught her to care for the body, education taught her to meet people where they are, and yoga taught her to be present. Together they shape how she works: with presence, honesty, and a belief in the strength of human connection. She creates a safe, steady space where people can reconnect with themselves through curiosity and self-compassion. Neila loves to share what she has learned and to support others in their learning.
