Long Bio:
Iman Gatti, author of the best-selling memoir, Cracked Open ~ Never Broken, is a 4 X published author, a Creative Consultant, Certified Grief Recovery Specialist and Transformational Speaker.
Born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta, to immigrant parents who moved to Canada from Tunisia, North Africa. She is a first generation Canadian and extremely proud of her Arab heritage and the opportunity her parents have given her by immigrating to Canada to raise their family.
Two months before her seventh birthday, Iman witnessed her father brutally murder her mother.
Iman’s father was sentenced to 25 years in prison and Iman was put into foster care. She spent the next 12 years moving through four families and 10 different homes and attended 10 different schools.
Throughout her life, Iman has been diagnosed with: Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (cPTSD), ADHD, Agoraphobia, OCD Tendencies, Depression and Anxiety.
These conditions were magnified and developed by the continued physical, sexual and emotional abuse she endured while in foster care.
Upon reaching adulthood, Iman knew she needed to make a choice to either allow her circumstance to rule her or to create the fulfilled life she desperately longed for. After investing in years of education, therapy, counseling and coaching, Iman has been able to create a life filled with success, happiness, abundance, gratitude and forgiveness.
Iman has studied with her mentor and friend, Gabrielle Bernstein and completed her Spirit Junkie Masterclass Levels 1 & 2. She holds a Courageous Living Coaching Certification and is also a Certified Grief Recovery SpecialistÔ with the Grief Recovery Institute.
Today, Iman lives in Sherwood Park, Canada. When she is not working with clients, writing and speaking on stages, she spends her time with her family and loves to paint, draw, cook, workout, entertain and hang with her husband, daughter and Toy Poodle.
