Welcome to the Izzy & Tess Chronicles!

I’m Sam, co-founder of ACSIS Life Coaching, and I’d like to introduce you to the furry members of my pack—Izzy and Tess, our two spirited German Wirehaired Pointers. Over the coming months, we’ll share their adventures, mishaps, and yes, a few life lessons they teach us along the way. If you’re new here, meet the stars of the show—two pups who bring joy, resilience, and inspiration to our lives every day.

Izzy: The Gentle Giant and Master of Relaxation

Izzy is our calm, soulful black giant, known for her deep love of naps and slow-paced strolls. Although she has the build for speed, her true passion lies in lounging, especially after breakfast. She is the original couch potato, and she’s a pro!  She spends her days in quiet contentment, finding the perfect spots to rest and watch the world go by.

Through Izzy, we’re reminded of the power of stillness. She teaches us that slowing down, pausing, and savoring life’s quieter moments is just as valuable as taking action. Her peaceful presence is a grounding force—a gentle reminder that sometimes, the most powerful thing we can do is to simply “be.” Whether at work or in life, Izzy encourages us to embrace calm and find joy in being present.

Tess: The Energetic, Pineapple-Loving Dynamo

Tess, on the other hand, is all energy and excitement. She’s endlessly curious, always sprinting after a ball or wrestling her favorite toy pineapple. Beneath her zest for life, though, Tess carries a bit of anxiety. She’s wary of loud noises and tends to stay close to her people, finding comfort in familiar places. But when she’s in her element—on the beach, splashing in the waves—she radiates pure joy and confidence.

Tess reminds us that it’s okay to have fears. Her journey teaches us to find our own spaces where we can feel free and authentic. Her beach days inspire us to seek out our personal joy and embrace the things that make us feel truly alive, just as we encourage our clients to do in their own lives.

Izzy & Tess: A Lesson in Balance

Together, Izzy and Tess balance each other beautifully. Izzy’s grounded calm pairs perfectly with Tess’s vibrant energy, showing us the importance of diversity in both personality and approach. In their companionship, we see how different strengths can come together harmoniously—a valuable lesson in life and work.
