Sergio Canoa is not just an author—he’s a storyteller of the soul, a life coach for the emotionally exhausted, and a creative force driven by the quiet power of reinvention.
Born in Germany to a multicultural heritage, Sergio holds both Portuguese and American nationality. His life has unfolded across continents—from the structured calm of Germany to the rhythmic soul of Brazil, the poetic streets of Spain, and the coastlines of Portugal and the U.S. Fluent in five languages (German, Portuguese, Spanish, English, and French), Sergio’s worldview is rooted in a rare blend of emotional depth and global perspective.
Before stepping into his calling as a coach and writer, Sergio spent years in the corporate world, leading global operations and vendor strategies for international organizations. But behind the polished titles and productivity, there is sometimes a quietly unraveling. Not burnout in the traditional sense, but high-functioning burnout: the silent collapse masked by performance, perfectionism, and pressure.
His debut novel, After Emma, is his first in exploring identity, illusion, and what it truly means to choose yourself. Blending psychological fiction with poetic realism, the book has been described as haunting, beautiful, and “the kind of story that lingers in the quiet moments.”
As a life coach, Sergio now helps high-achievers, creatives, and seekers break free from survival mode and begin designing lives rooted in authenticity, clarity, and peace. His coaching blends mindset work, emotional intelligence, and a reclamation of personal narrative—because he believes that before we change our lives, we must first rewrite the stories we believe about ourselves.
Whether through his words or his work, Sergio Canoa invites you to pause, reflect, and remember:
You were never meant to just survive.
You were meant to rewrite your life.
