I believe

If everyone could feel connected, they would feel safer and loved, grounded with themselves and others. If everyone could feel free, they would be more at ease and enjoy their lives to the fullest. If everyone could feel supported, they would trust that regardless of what happens, they will thrive.

Hey there,

I’m Isis Castañeda. I provide coaching services that help build emotional intelligence, effective communication, and strengthen strategies.

Lets connect!

About ME

In 2016, I founded Creating Connections with a proven track record of facilitating groups for teens and parents, community outreach, training, public speaking, and event coordination. Creating Connections empowers individuals to achieve their personal, academic, and life aspirations while strengthening families and communities.

I proudly support several outstanding organizations, including Santa Paula High School, St. Vincent's of Santa Barbara, and Santa Barbara Middle College. I have been a guest speaker for the National Charity League class 2022 and Carli Anna's Online Business School. Additionally, I am honored to serve on the boards of The Starfish Connection, the Santa Barbara Education Foundation, and the Housing Authority of Santa Barbara PCC Advisory Committee.
