We had the good fortune of connecting with Zoë Pingitore and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Zoë, what are you inspired by?
I am inspired by people who want to grow. I am constantly finding inspiration in people who want more for themselves, who want to expand and feel/do different! It’s those people who see themselves for deeper than the surface and who see the potential of life! They show me the potential of what can happen when you choose to commit to yourself. The most amazing thing I have witness within myself and my clients is that commitment. When you truly commit and choose to grow you unlock something.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I am a Holistic MIND + BODY coach. I work 1:1 with clients for 12 weeks(or more) to guide them with new perspectives so they can live their best lives as their most TRUE selves! I like to challenge my clients to think different. I want them to start to uncover what they beleive about themselves and life and re-write those believes to have them align with they desire! There is no playing small in my work, I support them to expand and grow to whatever feels good to them individually. I guide my clients on a path that gets them closer to where they want to be, by letting go of what may be holding them back, any thoughts, beliefs, feelings or emotions that feel stuck and need to be worked through. I believe heavily in bio-individuality, meaning we are all so completely different, therefore i run my programs in a completely intuitive way so my clients feel they are getting exactly what they need. Alot of my work tends to focus on healing the inner child & shedding old limiting beliefs, building a strong foundation of self love & confidence, learning how to tune into your intuition and what you truly need, creating daily habits that align you with where you want to be and I keep you accountable & support you through completing those! The “body” part of my program is getting in tune with how their body feels and what their body needs. Getting to the root of any physical symptoms they may experience(bloating, acne, irregular/uncomfortable bowel movements, fatigue, skin irritations, etc..) What you eat is IMPORTANT! And I support my clients in finding a way of eating for them that feels nourishing, energizing, healing and NOT restricting! I am truly my clients number 1 fans. I mean when I say my space will always be safe and judgement free, so you can step into your power without fear and instead, receive all the support and love you need. *

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
AHH! yes! I love fun times together! First of all a good walk to the water every morning with a matcha, smoothie or coffee is my vibe for sure. Sweat and Tonic is the place to be for a good hot pilates class, we honestly need to go to a Toronto Raptors or Toronto Maple Leafs game because the energy is unlike anything out there! My favourite restaurant of all time is Planta Queen. It is a completely plant based Asian-style cuisine. The flavours are truly out this world, it blows my mind every time. The Crispy rice rolls and Rainbow rolls are *chefs kiss*!! They also have cold pressed juiced on the menu which I love! I love to bake so after dinner, you better be ready for some sort of baked goodness, a herbal tea, maybe a movie and some real chats. my fave way to end the day.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
There has been so many people apart of my growth and business! My closest friends(Maëlle, Erika, Tori) and family(Mama & Ty) who have been their through the high and lows and have offered me endless support and encouragement! I have also created the most amazing group of “Wellness friends” online who inspire me by their content and stories daily. The first book I read that completely transformed my mindset and made me view life differently was “The Voice Of Knowledge” by Don Miguel Ruiz. Highly recommend if you are ready to shift the thoughts you think. A huge inspiration of mine, Mimi Bouchard + her creation, the Superhuman Meditation app. Mimi honestly showed me that the life I desire is possible, she has created such a powerful community that truly helped me step into my power. Her meditation app (Superhuman) is quite literally LIFE CHANGING. I noticed the biggest shift in my mind, body, relationship, career and everything else when I committed to these meditations daily. Last but not least, Autmn Clayman the creator of “shesplantbased”, I worked 1:1 with her and she has taught me alot. I learned alot about stepping into my authenticity and learning to surrender to that inner knowing and trust towards myself and what the universe has in store for me. Which has lead me to live in more of a flow, feel more peace and share my truth, from my heart.
