NADIA GEORGE BIOGRAPHY

Nadia George, a multi-award-winning luminary, is a dynamic force combining her mixed Indigenous heritage with a fervent dedication to activism and therapeutic wellness coaching. Born in Canada and based in Toronto, Nadia’s journey of reconnecting to her Indigenous roots from the Nahua nation in El Salvador – mixed with her European roots, guides Nadia along her path through a two-eyed seeing lens.

Nadia George weaves her personal experiences, artistic passion, and professional expertise into a powerful narrative, championing vital causes like clean drinking water, mental health awareness, and environmental justice.

As a “two-eyed” seeing woman – combined with her journey through the Child welfare system and the deep impact endured from environmental injustices, underscores her stance on the pressing need for solution-oriented dialogues, while championing vital causes like clean drinking water, mental health awareness, environmental justice, and shedding light on the imperative role of a therapeutic wellness coach in the entertainment industry.

Nadia George’s unique contribution extends beyond the spotlight, shedding light on the imperative role of a therapeutic wellness coach in the entertainment industry, evolving from a mere asset to an absolute necessity. A versatile artist, registered therapist, and a certified trauma integration clinician (CTIC), Nadia consults with corporate and entertainment spheres, nurturing environments that prioritize the well-being of all involved. Her work encompasses both television and commercial productions, offering therapeutic wellness coaching and consultations, both on and off set. During these consultations, Nadia illuminates the indispensable role of a Wellness coach with CTIC accreditation, especially in handling sensitive or trauma-triggering script content. Her remarkable projects include collaborations with Ronald McDonald House and her pivotal role in the success of the captivating mini-series “Little Bird,” now available on various streaming platforms and PBS in the USA.

Nadia’s unceasing commitment to advocacy garners accolades in spheres such as Indigenous equity, environmental justice, and mental health. In 2023, she received the prestigious Waterfront Awards for community activism, following her 2021 recognition with the Ontario Premier’s Award of Excellence in the creative arts category. Notably, in 2020, she was celebrated with the Distinguished Alumni award by the Georgian College Board of Governors.

As an esteemed ambassador for charitable organizations including Water First, Child Welfare PAC, and the Dreamcatcher Charitable Foundation, Nadia George remains ardently dedicated to the power of allyship and connection, firmly believing that true change commences with education and awareness.

Nadia’s interest in being a volunteer ambassador for Water First came from her heart. After losing her father to the lack of access to clean drinking water, she knew she had to use her agency to expose the harm and neglect Indigenous communities experience.

I had the wonderful opportunity to have Nadia George at a CrossBow Miles Canada event. CrossBow Miles is an incorporated non profit dedicated to educating women and girls in India. As founder and CEO, I have several volunteers, who contribute to the cause. One of our main events was a Career Breakfast at an Oakville high-school. Several successful individuals spoke about their career paths and answered any questions in a panel. We opened with Nadia’s speech. Personally, I had invited Nadia due to her impressive achievements in media; I had followed her on instagram for quite some time and she was a fairly well known public figure. I was less familiar with her great public speaking...

I have been working with Nadia George in a number of capacities (as an actress, BIPOC Committee member etc.) Nadia is a class act with empathy radiating from every fiber of her being. When she listens she hears and when she looks she sees. She has the strength to let herself be vulnerable. I always feel just a little more connected and real after a meeting or session with her.
