Gia Hasan, MS, PCC (she/they) is a cultural worker, certified facilitator of The Resilience Toolkit, ICF-credentialed leadership coach, and systems practitioner with over a decade of experience in leadership development. Her work lives at the intersection of systems thinking, creative practice, and collective liberation. She supports individuals, teams, and organizations in leading through uncertainty, embracing complexity, and building cultures rooted in trust, care, and transformation.
Drawing from trauma-informed care, somatic practice, and liberatory pedagogy, Gia uses a whole-person, whole-systems approach to help leaders reimagine what leadership can be. Her strategies disrupt oppressive patterns while nurturing conditions for more just and generative ways of being together.
At Lumos, Gia serves as a facilitator and contributor to Community Programs, including a weekly practice group and a political solidarity collective. She also supports Partnership Development, weaving networks that foster collaboration and care. Gia plays a lead role in Lumos’s groundbreaking pilot initiative for UK rights organizations, offering embodied resilience training to under-resourced frontline workers.
Gia served as a coach and consultant for the embodied, trauma-informed, resilience-oriented (eTIRO) Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Antiracism (EDIA) Initiative at Los Angeles County’s Department of Health Services—the second-largest safety net healthcare system in the U.S. Over more than a year, she coached senior leaders across DHS facilities in cultivating equity-centered, resilience-based leadership. She also brought her deep study of leadership and systems transformation to teams at the Department of Public Health (DPH) and UCLA. Currently, Gia is designing a liberatory leadership training for cross-sector leaders, built to inspire, equip, and sustain the deep systemic change collective liberation demands.
In her global solidarity work, Gia supported a team on the ground in Gaza through The Sameer Project, offering trauma-informed stabilization tools amid occupation and humanitarian crisis. She also helped culturally adapt a trauma-informed initiative for students at Al-Najjah University in the West Bank, making practices more accessible through Lumos. In early 2025, in response to mass firings across the U.S., she participated in The Grounded Idealist, offering free coaching for displaced workers navigating grief, disorientation, and systemic injustice.
Born in the UK to South Asian immigrant parents and now living on Piscataway land in the U.S., Gia moves fluidly between cultural contexts. Her work is deeply rooted in Sufi and Buddhist traditions, storytelling, and collective healing lineages. Before entering the field of coaching and facilitation, she worked as a journalist in Egypt and Lebanon, advocating for refugees and deepening her lifelong commitment to justice and healing across borders.
Gia holds a Master’s degree in Nutrition, with additional training through MIT’s Theory U and the Center for Collective Wisdom. Her practice bridges the micro and the macro—connecting bodily resilience with social systems transformation. She is also a grief practitioner, dream worker, and writer. Her love of compost, mycelium, and soil mirrors her belief in regeneration, interdependence, and the living intelligence of ecosystems.
As a mother to two teenagers, Gia continues to grow in the practice of parenting and community care, holding space to meet this moment with compassion and curiosity while reimagining a more liberated future for the generations to come.
