Lianna has experienced significant loss in her life, including the death of close friends and loved ones due to illness, accidents, and suicide. This has fuelled her interest in understanding mental health and helping others achieve mental well-being.
In her pursuit to help others live authentically happy lives, Lianna has explored various healing modalities, including hypnotherapy, CBT, Reiki, Crystal Healing, Art Therapy, Colour Therapy, and aromatherapy, in order to create a personalised holistic life coaching program.
Lianna is an active mental health and human rights advocate and activist. She is a member of the United for Global Mental Health working to lessen mental health suffering worldwide through the prevention, care and treatment of mental ill health and substance-use disorders. She believes it’s equally important to uphold the right of every individual to access mental health and psychosocial support – this is particularly true during emergencies and in large conflict settings.
Lianna initiated Weekly Mental Health Check-Ins on World Mental Health Day 2021 as a response to the tragic loss of one of her close friends, who had long battled with mental illness. Recognising the absence of secure environments for individuals to express themselves during a time of escalating global mental health concerns, Lianna firmly believes in establishing and nurturing safe spaces. These spaces serve as platforms for individuals to openly share the burdens weighing on their minds and hearts without the fear of judgment, while also fostering a sense of solidarity.
Since its inception, Lianna’s initiative has provided invaluable assistance to numerous individuals grappling with imposter syndrome, FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out), burnout, loneliness, and grief. Her dedication to promoting mental health has earned her recognition and respect within the web3 and digital communities. Today, there are daily mental health spaces dedicated to helping communities around the globe.
