Hi, i'm Bia
Hey there! I’m Bia, and I’m excited to join you on your path of self-discovery. Together, we’ll explore the questions that lead you to live authentically and on your own terms.
As a compassionate soul with a vibrant multicultural background, I bring a fresh and exciting perspective to the table when it comes to guiding and uplifting individuals on their unique paths. With stamps from seven different countries lived in my passport, I’ve learned firsthand the profound impact that culture, values, and diverse backgrounds can have on shaping who we are and how we experience life.
My journey toward empowering others began in the colorful world of my upbringing. Inspired by my dad’s work with UNICEF and my mom’s unwavering dedication as a special education teacher, I was immersed in a world of empathy and advocacy from an early age.
Equipped with a degree in psychology from the University of British Columbia, ongoing studies in guidance counseling, and certification as a life skills coach, coupled with over ten years of eclectic experience in various helping professions, I’m fully committed to helping individuals unlock their true potential.
My mission is simple yet profound: to provide a safe, judgment-free space where you can freely explore your thoughts, emotions, and aspirations. Together, we’ll navigate life’s twists and turns, tapping into your inner strengths and resources to achieve personal growth and fulfillment.
I’m thrilled at the prospect of joining you on this exhilarating journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Let’s embark on this adventure together and paint the canvas of your life with colors of resilience, growth, and joy!
