Nadiya Sakhno

Nadiya Sakhno is President and Insurance & Financial Advisor at Coulas Insurance Ltd., an independent insurance and financial services firm in Ottawa. Her page on the firm's site says she has specialised in working with business owners, families and professionals in the Ottawa area, and that what she cares about most is helping a client understand their own financial situation — once the goals and the likely obstacles are named, she can help the client reach them.

She earned her Honours Bachelor from the East European University of Economics and Management. She is a Qualified Associate Financial Planner (QAFP) through the Financial Planning Standards Council, holds a mutual funds licence obtained through the Investment Funds Institute of Canada and a life insurance licence (LLQP) obtained through the Canadian Securities Institute, and the firm states she is a member in good standing of the FPSC.

Coulas Insurance Ltd. builds custom insurance and financial plans for business owners, incorporated professionals and families, and says plainly on its About page that no bank or insurance company owns or controls it. The work covers employee benefits — group health and group retirement plans — individual and corporate life insurance, disability, critical illness, long term care and mortgage insurance, and registered investments: RESP, TFSA, RRSP, RRIF and annuities. Mutual funds are offered through Quadrus Investment Services Ltd. The office is at 78 George St, Suite 204, Ottawa, and the phone number on every page is 613-599-4070.

The same business was online as Marty Coulas Insurance Agency Limited as late as January 2023, with Nadiya listed as Vice President. By June 2023 the site carried the name Coulas Insurance Ltd., and between September and November 2025 the About page swapped the two titles: it now lists her as President and Marty Coulas, CLU as Vice President. A client quoted on their home page writes that Coulas Insurance has been her company's broker for more than 20 years.

Coulas Insurance took part in UAFest 2025 as a Community Sponsor, with Nadiya representing the firm. Away from work, her profile says she enjoys biking, time outdoors with her family and cottage life.
