Co-Founder & Head Faculty

Briana Bellamy (she/her)

B.A. in Anthropology and Peace & Conflict Studies, Bryn Mawr College

A deep commitment to celebrating the diversity of human experience has informed Briana’s path both professionally and personally. Trained as a Professional Integral Coach, her coaching approach is also influenced by years of immersing herself in diverse worldviews around the globe. These experiences influenced her ongoing exploration of modalities of leadership development through diverse ways of knowing, such as somatic practices, nature-connected inquiry, adult development research, mindfulness, and community-centered restorative justice. Through this work, she remains committed to supporting others to step more fully into their unique brilliance in service of a kinder world.

In addition to being a coach, Briana has been involved as a founding board member for the Healing and Reconciliation Institute, a non-profit that strives to facilitate reconciliation and trust between Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities through community education, consulting, and peacemaking. She has also supported in the launch of the non-profit Coaching For Everyone’s first fellowship program to train and certify BIPOC coaches. 

Today, Briana works as a Coach Supervisor for Lyra Health where she trains and supports coaches around the globe. She continues to be active in her community with her ongoing involvement in racial restorative justice initiatives through the Oakland-based organization Stronghold.
