Qiana was born and raised in Gary, Indiana. She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and Sociology and a Master of Arts in Public Policy and Administration. Qiana earned her professional coaching certifications in life, goal setting, career, and happiness from Transformation Academy Life Coaching in 2020 and became certified in Leading Diversity Equity and Inclusion in 2021. 

Qiana’s work in her dream career with the United Stated federal government began in 2007. She quickly recognized she would be responsible for charting out her own path and building alliances along the way. This experience ignited her passion for creating safe spaces for not only herself, but other women, culminating in the inception of Wholelistic for her Women’s Wellness Group. Since then, she has dedicated herself to honing her leadership skills while building a platform to empower women personally and professionally. 

What began as a small women’s social networking group of 12 women in 2012 has now evolved. In 2018, she established the business side, offering individual and group coaching, virtual and in person wellness workshops and curating domestic and international women’s wellness retreats. Rooted in the empowerment, self-care, growth, and development of women, Wholelistic for her has grown to more than 1400 members nationwide, embodying her vision of fostering a supportive community for women. 

Qiana has been featured as a keynote speaker and panelist on various platforms in her community and within the federal government. Her dedication to empowering women and championing diversity, equity and inclusion serves as an inspiration and help to women nationwide.
