In 2025, Zela Feraco has earned the prestigious title of Best Women’s Empowerment Coach in Switzerland of 2025 from the esteemed Best of Best Review. As the founder of Nightshade Sanctum, a leadership and training platform, Zela stands as a beacon of empowerment, guiding women across the globe to unlock their true potential and lead with purpose, authenticity, and feminine strength.

A Journey of Transformation

Zela's story is one of resilience and transformation. From a challenging beginning of homelessness in high school to earning a PhD in Medical Microbiology and building a successful corporate career, Zela’s life is a testament to her determination and commitment to overcoming adversity. However, her journey didn’t stop there. After years of corporate strategy work, Zela walked away from the traditional path, choosing instead to blend her scientific expertise with her passion for spirituality. This bold move led her to become a High Priestess and coach, helping women entrepreneurs and leaders craft success strategies that align with their authentic selves.

What sets Zela apart in the women’s empowerment field is her unique approach, she merges scientific precision with spiritual psychology. Many coaches focus solely on strategy, while others delve into spiritual teachings without grounding them in real-world results. Zela bridges these worlds, offering a holistic perspective on leadership and success. Her approach emphasizes the importance of intuition, flow, and feminine intelligence, challenging the outdated "hustle harder" mentality that often leads to burnout. Instead, she advocates for a leadership style that embraces ease, balance, and inner alignment.

Empowering Women Through Feminine Leadership

Zela’s coaching programs, courses, and certification opportunities help women scale their businesses, cultivate resilience, and foster both professional success and personal fulfillment. Her methodology teaches women how to harmonize their mindset, psychology, and feminine-driven strategies to create businesses that thrive, without sacrificing their well-being.

In her work, Zela uses principles of psychology and neuroscience alongside practices traditionally viewed as mystical, framing them as powerful psychological technologies. Rituals, archetypes, and goddess mythology provide frameworks for transformation, helping women release limiting beliefs and access deeper levels of creativity, confidence, and authenticity. By embracing both structure and soul, Zela empowers women to lead from a place of inner strength and authenticity, not from fear or force.

The Power of Intuition and Flow in Business Success

Zela’s coaching is not just about practical strategies, it's about shifting the way women lead and create. As she says, “Success isn’t about working harder, it’s about aligning who you are with how you lead.” She teaches women that leadership does not have to be based on traditional masculine models of control and aggression. Instead, women can embrace their intuition, creativity, and resilience as tools to foster sustainable success.

“The future of leadership is feminine, not because women are taking over, but because flow, intuition, and resilience are the missing pieces in how we define success,” Zela explains. She emphasizes that the key to long-term success is creating a balance between practical methods and the natural flow of energy and creativity that women innately possess. This holistic approach enables women to not only succeed in business but to thrive in their personal lives as well.
