At Lunova, we support immigrant and culturally diverse women reconnect with their strengths, rebuild their professional identity, and create meaningful careers with clarity and confidence. Rebuild your professional identity Create a career that reflects who you are becoming.
Hi, I’m Juliana, founder of Lunova Coaching.
I’m glad you’re here.
I’m a lawyer by training, an HR and organizational development professional by experience, and a coach by vocation. Most importantly, I’m an immigrant.
I was born and raised in Colombia, and at 35 I made the decision to leave behind a successful career, my family, and everything that felt familiar to build a new life in Canada. Like many women who immigrate, I quickly realized that starting over meant much more than finding a new job. It meant rebuilding my confidence, redefining my professional identity, and learning how to navigate a different culture without losing sight of who I was.
As I transitioned from law into human resources, I experienced firsthand the uncertainty, self-doubt, and invisible barriers that often accompany career transitions after migration. I was learning new norms, communicating in a second language, and trying to prove my value in an unfamiliar environment. What I needed most was someone who could help me make sense of that transition. I didn’t have that support at the time.
That experience became the foundation for Lunova.
Today, I work with immigrant and culturally diverse women who are navigating career transitions, leadership growth, or the challenge of reconnecting with themselves after migration. My role isn’t to tell you who to become. It’s to help you recognize the strengths, experiences, and values you already carry so you can move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and intention.
My approach integrates Co-Active coaching, positive psychology, the psychology of migration, and evidence-based practices to support both personal and professional growth. Together, we’ll rebuild your professional identity, navigate change with confidence, and create a career that reflects not only where you’ve been, but also who you are becoming.
You may recognize this experience...
✓ You know you’re capable, but you don’t feel like yourself anymore. ✓ You question experience and strengths you once trusted. ✓ You constantly wonder where you belong. ✓ You’ve built a career, but it no longer feels like yours. ✓ You work harder to prove yourself, yet still feel uncertain. ✓ You look successful on paper, but something feels missing. ✓ You know you’re ready for a new chapter, but you don’t know where to begin. Many people assume these experiences are simply part of finding a job in a new country. We see them differently. They often reflect a deeper psychological transition: the reconstruction of professional identity.
A different way to understand career transitions
Career transitions are also identity transitions. Finding a job is only part of the journey. For many immigrant professionals, the deeper challenge is rebuilding confidence, belonging, and a sense of who they are in a new professional environment. At Lunova, we believe that lasting career growth begins when you reconnect with your strengths, your experience, and your sense of purpose.
