Dr. Ioana Popa

 

Christian Executive Coach

Life & Leadership Coach

Speaker and Trainer

After two burnouts, I experienced firsthand how difficult it can be to find support that honors the body, mind, heart, and soul.

I encountered either secular psychological help or Christian spiritual care - rarely a true integration of both.

That gap became my mission.

I now support high-level professionals and servant leaders in preventing burnout, renewing their capacity, and achieving their highest God-given potential.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my family, reading, gardening, and practicing contemplation. 

Together with my husband Sebastien Falardeau, an interfaith chaplain and life coach, we share the vision of helping people along their journey.

Dr. Ioana Popa

I have worked with many practitioners and she is, by far, the best. The self-energy and presence she brings to session remind me of stepping up to the rim of the grand canyon. With her gentle urgings, she has helped me navigate the darkest places in my psyche in order to retrieve all of those Parts of myself I had exiled in an attempt to protect myself from their pain.

Working with Ioana has truly changed not only the direction of my life, but it's entire quality, including my professional goals and most intimate relationships. I will be forever grateful.

How I Work

As we work together, I align with you to cultivate a safe and trustworthy connection. Together, we focus on your goals and the meaningful change you seek.

I bring my professional skill, decades of experience, presence, compassion, curiosity, and clarity to support you in every season of your life.

Together, we discern and develop strategies that expand your highest God-given potential, so you can continue leading, serving, and giving to others in Christ.

Dr. Ioana’s program and nuggets of psychological, scientific and ancient Christian information are very helpful to me. Her ability to express clearly scientific/clinical knowledge while integrating psychology and Christian spirituality is helping me to see myself more clearly! Dr. Ioana has given me hope, and helped me to feel better about myself...that change is possible for me! Thank you Dr. Ioana, very much, for who you are and what you do!

Dr. Ioana’s Professional Background

Dr. Ioana's program is a healing framework for internal perspective. I have clarified then re-ordered my motivations to create a positive internal culture. I had no idea how much internal re-modeling I actually needed. Now, I’ve been enabled to operate freely with my source of grounding to order my time better and prioritize the important work of self-determination for rhythm and balance of life.

The integrity of her model lovingly provides clarity of heart: I am gaining freedom from my negative attitudes which has strengthened my resolve to view myself and others with much more understanding and compassion. Dr. Ioana’s framework encourages true objectivity and creativity that lights the way for the individual’s call to purpose with passion. And, the cherry-on-top, is Dr. Ioana’s genuine joy in her journey with you as a sacred soul companion. I will be grateful to her forever.

Ioana is an excellent coach with a very safe and warm presence. She is very skilled at helping you get to the core issue. I made progress in several areas including moving my business forward, improving my relationship with my husband and deepening my spirituality. After doing work with Ioana, many triggers no longer have a charge. I feel like our work got so deep that my exiles were healed and the issues are no longer a problem for me.
