Ana Gioarsa

Holistic Neuroscience & Spiritual Growth Mentor

I have spent over a decade and counting delivering large schemes in real estate and infrastructure across UK and UAE working in the public and private corporate sectors, building and leading high preforming multi-disciplinary teams and founding my own international consultancy. I have started this journey with a vested interest in understanding how to achieve a work life balance fit while maximising productivity in the work place which was also the subject of my first research project in 2013.My findings from monitoring the behaviour of the employees of five large public and private organisations indeed showed gaps between the goals of the employer by implementing new ways of working and the needs of the employees being met, and whether this indeed maximised productivity.

I started my career being hopeful that I will witness organisational changes that will benefit the individual as well as the business, and while I relocated to the UAE, I realised that we are moving against the wellbeing not only of the individual but also against the business KPIs and being counterproductive towards achieving a work life balance fit.

'Happy people create better outcomes' was the trend of my findings. Therefore, without any pessimism, I realised that changing the system in which many industries operate in and the stressors that are being put on the employee will take a very long time and may cause more damage than good in the process of implementation.

Thus, I decided to move my focus from the team and the organisation to the wellbeing of the individual. To work with one’s self on improving how they approach themselves not only at work but in their day-to-day life, to work with the individual to change their perspective on what is within and out with their control. I firmly believe that by aiming to achieve a healthy individual energetically, mentally and physically that has a built-in awareness of how to navigate the uncontrollable and unforeseen, we will lead by example and influence the organisational change that is so desperately needed across all sectors of business. Alongside my corporate career, I have always been drawn towards more holistic practices alongside therapy, while I was struggling with stress and burnout and while very helpful, speech therapy alone just was not working for me.

I have since become a holistic neuroscience and spiritual growth mentor and have collected many tools over the years from life scripting, reiki, theta healing, life coaching, positive intelligence coaching, and my MSc in Psychology & Neuroscience of Mental Health and I integrate all this knowledge to build the foundational understanding of how it all works.
 
As I have been reaping the benefits of healing and spiritual growth myself and watched my world transform, I wanted to make this accessible to all, hence, I developed the foundational understanding method which builds a framework for growth for my clients towards living optimally.
