Meet Jana – Your Resourcefulness Alchemist
Jana is a transformational coach, international leader, and founder of Bean to Being, a groundbreaking project that blends mindfulness and coffee to ignite personal growth. With a career that spans continents, industries, and modalities, Jana is on a mission to reconnect humanity to its innate resourcefulness, empowering individuals to transform their lives from within.
From the Boardroom to Blissology
Jana’s journey began in the corporate world, where she built a successful international career, leading teams and driving innovation in a multicultural environment. Living and working across eight countries, she developed a deep understanding of human potential and resilience. Her reputation for turning challenges into opportunities made her a sought-after leader, but something was missing.
With a Master in Law, Jana has always valued structure, precision, and a deep understanding of systems—skills that have greatly influenced her approach to coaching.
In 2018, she found the missing link: coaching. Training with the Co-Active Training Institute, she realised that true transformation required more than strategy - it demanded a holistic approach that integrates the mind, body, and soul. ana is now a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC), accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF), further affirming her expertise and dedication to coaching excellence.
Since then, Jana has dedicated herself to bridging the gap between high-performance leadership and soulful, sustainable living. Her coaching combines the structure of Co-Active methodology with decades of experience in mindfulness practices, offering a unique approach to personal and professional transformation.
The Heart of Her Work: Coaching with Soul
Jana’s coaching is not about fixing you—it’s about reconnecting you to the power you already have. She believes every individual is a masterpiece, and her role is to help you uncover the wisdom and resourcefulness within.
Her expertise spans:
Holistic coaching that addresses all levels—physical, intellectual, and spiritual.
Mindfulness practices that have transformed over 10,000 lives through her courses.
Deep, sustainable transformation that goes beyond surface-level fixes.
Current Projects and Legacy
Jana’s transformative work extends across multiple platforms and ventures. She has created mindfulness courses that have impacted over 10,000 individuals and meditations on InsightTimer that have been listened to over 300,000 times, inspiring a global audience to reconnect with their inner resourcefulness.
Currently, Jana is working on two books: one that explores the art of mindfulness through the lens of coffee and another delving into holistic resourcefulness and transformation. She is also building a vibrant community space under the Bean to Being project, uniting world-class facilitators and experts to co-create unique offerings for her clients.
Additionally, Jana brings her expertise to the luxury hospitality sector, serving as a creative advisor for a boutique retreat in Sri Lanka, where she integrates her philosophy of mindful living and holistic transformation into an extraordinary client experience.
A Coffee Ritual Like No Other
For Jana, coffee isn’t just a beverage; it’s a tool for reflection and transformation. As a trained barista and sensory expert, she uses the ritual of coffee to create mindfulness moments that reconnect clients to the present. Her Bean to Being project combines the art of coffee with the science of self-awareness, helping people savour both their brew and their lives.
Blissology: The Art of Living Fully
Jana is known as the mother of "Blissology" - a term she coined to describe the delicate balance between achievement and joy. She has mastered the art of bringing life back to life, inspiring hundreds to reclaim their vibrancy and align with their true purpose.
Peter, Senior Director. Dubai, UAE
"I am normally cynical about coaching sessions and have often thought the advice given would be quite generic but i was pleasantly surprised when meeting Jana. I found her sessions to be very informative and made me reflect in a way which I otherwise wouldn't. Her style is relaxed and sincere but also challenging when necessary. I have no doubt that whatever background or circumstances a person may be experiencing, Jana's expertise will draw attention to the areas which will see the most impactful and positive changes to a person's mental and physical wellbeing"
Kaila, Clinic Founder. Vancouver, Canada.
"I booked Jana to gain some clarity. I am too busy with todo lists, worries and expectations to live my life fully. As a result, I feel chronically drained and disconnected from my values. Jana asked very direct, relevant questions in an empathetic way that naturally made me feel at ease. She helped me sit with difficult emotions and gain some insight into my patterns. She provided some excellent resources for me to take away and work with. I highly recommend Jana for a fresh perspective on EVERYTHING. If you're feeling the status quo is leaving you wanting more, work with Jana and she will help guide you to discover your true self."

Coaching and traditional therapy differ fundamentally in their outlook. Therapy often assumes that the client needs to be "fixed" or is somehow broken, focusing on healing past wounds. In contrast, coaching sees each person as naturally creative, resourceful, and whole, shifting the focus to inherent strengths and potential.
While therapy often delves into the past to uncover and resolve issues, coaching emphasizes designing the future you desire. It's about setting goals, taking action, and holding yourself accountable for the changes you wish to see in your life.
In therapy, there can be a dynamic of dependency, with the client relying on the therapist for guidance and solutions. Coaching, on the other hand, empowers you to be the author of your own story. The coach collaborates with you, asking questions that unlock your inner wisdom and ignite your inner fire.
Ultimately, coaching is a path of flourishing, designing, acting, and empowering. It celebrates your innate wholeness, boundless potential, and capacity to shape your destiny.

Mentorship and coaching are both valuable forms of guidance, but they serve different purposes and follow distinct approaches.
A mentor is typically an experienced individual who shares their knowledge, skills, and expertise with a mentee. Mentorship often involves providing advice, guidance, and support based on the mentor's own experiences and insights. The mentor-mentee relationship is usually long-term and focuses on the mentee's overall growth and development in a particular field or area of life.
Coaching, on the other hand, is a collaborative partnership that focuses on helping the client achieve specific goals and create desired changes in their life. A coach acts as a facilitator, using questioning techniques and tools to help the client gain clarity, identify obstacles, and develop strategies to overcome challenges. Coaching is often more structured and goal-oriented than mentorship, with a focus on the client's self-discovery and personal empowerment.
While a mentor provides guidance based on their own experiences, a coach helps the client tap into their own inner wisdom and resources to find their own answers and solutions. Coaching is less about giving advice and more about creating a supportive space for the client to explore, grow, and take action towards their goals.
In my work, I blend elements of both mentorship and coaching to provide a holistic approach to personal and professional development. I draw upon my own experiences and expertise to offer guidance and support, while also using coaching techniques to empower my clients to discover their own path and create lasting change.
