Viola Edward is an award-winning transcultural psychotherapist, breathwork pioneer, and global mentor devoted to emotional well-being, conscious leadership, and sustainable transformation. Born in Iraq, raised in Lebanon, rooted in Venezuela, and based in Cyprus, she embodies the art of bridging worlds — weaving East and West, science and soul.
Since the 1990s, she has pioneered the integration of breathwork and psychotherapy in corporate and community development, inspiring thousands of leaders to cultivate emotional wealth as the foundation of sustainable success. Author of Breathing the Rhythm of Success and Who Makes the Bed? — both housed at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina — and co-author of over twenty books, Viola continues to mentor across generations and cultures, reminding us that transformation begins with one conscious breath.
“While we are breathing, we are alive — and while we are alive, we have infinite possibilities.” — Viola Edward
