At The Ascend, we pride ourselves on bringing together some of the most exceptional coaches to support our clients in creating authentic, meaningful change. Today, we are thrilled to introduce our newest coach, Mia, whose rich and varied background, paired with her deep commitment to transformation, makes her an invaluable addition to our team.

A Journey of Growth and Evolution

Mia’s story is one of continuous growth and exploration. Born in Germany, she began her career in the fashion industry, working for a decade across Europe and the United States. However, her curiosity and drive to take on new challenges led her to pivot into sports management and private banking in London, where she spent another eight years honing her skills in leadership and relationship management.

Through these professional transitions, a recurring theme emerged: clients consistently sought her advice on navigating change, overcoming challenges, and achieving personal and professional breakthroughs. This natural gift for guiding others led Mia to embark on a new path, diving deeply into the world of coaching and personal development.

She has trained extensively in leadership coaching, psychotherapy, somatic experiencing, yoga, mindfulness, and applied neuroscience. This multidisciplinary foundation allows her to meet clients where they are, addressing both the practical and emotional dimensions of growth.

Her expertise is complemented by her work on impactful projects, including a 2017 collaboration with Deepak Chopra to develop an emotional connection curriculum for the Chopra Foundation. Since 2014, Mia has been professionally coaching individuals and groups, helping them unlock their potential and create sustainable change.
