This is my story

Hi I'm
Giovanna Colombetti Gio

I have had a life marked by transformative challenges that have led me to be who I am today.

Certified by the CCE Continuing Coaching Education, International Coach Federation, Licensed in Benziger Thinking Styles Assessment, I am a Coach, Mentor and passionate about personal growth and development.

All these experiences and learnings reinforced my passion: Self-knowledge is the foundation of true human Alchemy. I know the transformative power of internalizing, discovering and exploring the limits of human potential, and my passion is to share these verifiable tools with you.

If you are ready to break your limiting beliefs, find your purpose and balance all areas of your life, you are where you need to be.

Beginnings...

My journey began in California, USA as an only child, where at 8 years old I experienced my first profound loss when my father died from acute leukemia.

This first encounter with pain would become the foundation of my understanding about the fragility of life and the importance of finding meaning in our experiences.

The awakening

At 19 years old, life presented me with another defining moment when I was diagnosed with a brain tumor, acoustic neuroma, which required two extensive surgeries. This left me with hearing loss in my left ear and partial facial paralysis. Instead of defeating me, this experience awakened my curiosity about the mind-body-soul connection and how our unexpressed emotions manifest physically in our bodies.

The understanding

These experiences propelled me on a search for deeper answers. I immersed myself in studies of Transcendental Meditation, neuroscience and psychosomatic psychology. Through this exploration, I discovered the profound connection between our emotional experiences and physical manifestations—understanding how the loss of my father could have symbolically and neurologically affected the left side of my brain.

Resilience

Life continued testing my strength when I later lost my partner to a brain aneurysm, along with other significant challenges. Each experience only reinforced my determination to transform pain into growth, developing what has become one of my greatest gifts—the ability to accompany others in their own transformation processes.

Professional background

My multicultural background, having lived in several countries and speaking three languages, combined with my business education in Hotel Administration, Commerce and International Relations, has enriched a unique perspective. I have collaborated with organizations, teams and companies globally, bringing diverse understanding to my coaching and mentoring practice.

My mission today

With over 15 years of experience, I accompany entrepreneurs, business owners, homemakers and executives toward balance and happiness. I help them discover their purpose and maximize their potential through verifiable self-knowledge tools that I have personally used in my own life journey.

On a personal Note

I love the ocean, nature, painting, exercise and daily meditation, traveling and discovering different cultures and ways of thinking, connecting with the extraordinary people that life gives me. I'm passionate about constantly continuing to grow, deepening self-knowledge and personal growth through continuous learning.

I am a spiritual being living this human experience, just like everyone else. I don't have all the answers nor do I know more than anyone else. I'm simply filled with passion for sharing what I have learned and verified myself, with the hope that you find your path to authentic happiness with greater ease. When one of us grows, we all grow together.
