Our Inspiration
Discover the driving force behind our commitment to transform mental health care.
As Board Chair of Toivoa Coaching, Laura Randa witnessed firsthand how the growing mental health crisis has left millions struggling to access care, especially those with chronic illnesses. The increasing demand for mental health support has been met with a severe shortage of qualified professionals, long wait times, high costs, and limited accessibility—leaving many without the help they need.
During COVID, these challenges were amplified, with individuals facing heightened stress, depression, and anxiety while struggling to access therapy. The shortage of mental health providers, particularly those trained in evidence-based care, has only worsened, making it difficult for people to receive timely and effective treatment.
Frustrated with the lack of accessible and scalable solutions, Laura left her career as a biopharma executive determined to revolutionize mental health treatment. Leveraging her expertise in product launches and education program development, she has assembled a team of experts in cognitive behavioral therapy, clinical psychology, and coaching. Together, they have designed a National Board for Health and Wellness Coaching (NBHWC) accredited program.
This NBHWC program will train coaches to help bridge the mental health treatment gap, providing accessible, evidence-based support for those struggling with mental health challenges. By expanding the workforce of board-certified mental health coaches, Toivoa is creating a scalable solution to address the growing mental health crisis while also opening new career opportunities in the rapidly expanding field of coaching.
