About me

Hello, and welcome! My name is Rena Wagner, and I'm so excited to get to know you. I believe that you are a beautiful, unique human being, and I am honored to be part of your journey toward living a life that's aligned with your true self.

As a coach, counselor, and meditation teacher, I work with a wide range of wonderful individuals, helping them navigate life's challenges, uncover their passions, and create a life of meaning and fulfillment. Originally from Japan, I've had the privilege of living in several countries, including Singapore, the United States, and the Netherlands, which has enriched my perspective and allowed me to connect with people from all walks of life. I'm bilingual, offering all of my sessions in both Japanese and English, so I can serve clients around the world.

My purpose is simple: I want to help you discover your true desires and passions so you can step into your most authentic self. I aim to be your guide, supporter, and cheerleader as you embark on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and growth.

My journey

After years of personal meditation practice, I became a meditation teacher and began leading weekly classes in Amsterdam. Meditation was a transformative tool for me—it helped me reconnect with my inner self and led me to a place of self-acceptance. This experience became the foundation for my work as a coach and counselor.

When I moved back to Japan, I felt the calling to expand my work and support people more directly. I recognized that many people were struggling with emotional pain, confusion, or lack of direction—and I knew I could offer the guidance they needed. This led me to pursue a coaching training and mental health counseling training, and I became a licensed ICF coach and a mental health counselor.

My coaching and counseling approach is centered on creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can be completely yourself. I've been through many of the same struggles that many of my clients face—whether it's societal pressure, feeling misunderstood, or struggling with the weight of past experiences. I know firsthand how difficult it can be to feel disconnected from who you truly are. For me, meditation was the key to reconnecting with my inner voice, finding peace, and accepting myself. It's my mission to share this transformative experience with others so they too can feel empowered, authentic, and at peace.

Empathy and Strength in Adversity

One of my greatest strengths as a coach and counselor is my ability to see and feel the pain of others. Having experienced emotional and personal struggles myself, I deeply understand what it's like to face challenges and feel lost. I've learned to use that pain not as a burden, but as a source of strength to help others. My own journey of self-acceptance, through difficult transitions and painful experiences, has given me the compassion and insight to support others in their healing.

In addition to my work in coaching and counseling, I have a diverse professional background in finance, marketing, and software engineering. I've made several significant career and life changes over the years, including moving to different countries and completely changing my professional path. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of how to navigate life transitions, whether they are career-related or personal. I love helping people go through major life changes, whether it's shifting careers, relocating, or making big decisions that affect their personal growth.
