Geraldine Hardy: the wellbeing alchemist who merges business with spirituality

Spanning continents and multiple lifetimes, Geraldine Hardy has transformed trauma into wisdom and hardship into mission. Now based between Monaco, Dubai, and Thailand, this former luxury industry and Ex-Biopharma Investor Relations now guides entrepreneurs and wealthy families toward a balance few dare seek: one that reconciles peak performance with inner serenity.

From snowboarding to boardrooms: an unconventional journey

Geraldine Hardy’s story begins at the intersection of three worlds. Born in Indonesia in 1970 to a Chinese father and German mother, she grew up between Indonesia, Germany, and the United States. “I’ve always been between two cultures,” she confides, “which made me feel alienated from both, especially when I was younger.“

Trained in classical ballet for 19 years at a Russian academy, the young woman pivoted to journalism in the snowboarding industry before completing her business studies at the University of Brighton. An eclectic trajectory that would take her from Billabong Europe to American Express, from British Gas oil rigs and LNG fields to the VIP lounges of the yachting industry.

“I worked for the Singapore Yacht Show, the Abu Dhabi Yacht Show, the Dubai International Boat Show,” she lists. “I’ve lived in ten different countries.” But behind this international career in luxury and finance lies a much deeper quest, triggered by a foundational tragedy.

The shock that changed everything

Geraldine was 19 when her father passed away. “That was my severe PTSD,” she recalls without hesitation. “From the age of 19 until now, I went on a spiritual journey to understand what’s going on.” A journey that came perilously close to the point of no return several times.

I was so close to just driving against the wall

“There was a moment in my life when I was in the car and I drove so fast and there was a moment that I felt like I don’t want to live anymore,” she recounts. “I was so close to just driving against the wall.” It was a Janet Jackson song “Together Again”, about a friend who died of AIDS, that brought her back to reason. “I listened to the lyrics Everywhere I go, every smile I see, I know you are there, smiling back at me…, and I knew my father was saying: what the heck are you doing?“

Other trials mark her journey: a cocaine overdose in a well-known executive’s kitchen, a miscarriage at 35 after three weeks of pregnancy, repeated burnouts. “I’ve had two,” she says with a wry smile. “The first time I didn’t have enough, so let’s go for another round.“

From collapse to awakening

Each ordeal becomes a laboratory for transformation. Geraldine trained as a yoga therapist 15 years ago, specialising in quantum healing, alchemy, past life regression, and hypnotherapy. More recently, she’s immersed herself in Tai Chi and Qigong.

“Those moments I know now were to make me stronger and more resilient,” she explains, “to understand what my soul corrections are, to understand what I need to work on myself.” The fear of abandonment, the fear of not being good enough, the quest for approval inherited from her ballerina years: so many wounds she’s learning to transform.

Her definition of resilience? “To adapt like water. Resilience does not mean that you are strong and rigid and robust. Resilience means: okay, this does not work, how can I adapt?“

Monaco, a haven after the storm

It was through yachting that Geraldine discovered Monaco, where she eventually purchased an apartment in Beausoleil. “I was with my boyfriend at the time. After we separated, the only thing I thought was either I go back to Dubai or come to Monaco.” She worked for family offices, then for a publicly listed biopharmaceutical company as head of investor relations.

It’s not going to happen, forget it

But the call of her true mission grew increasingly urgent. “If you would have asked me two years ago,” she admits, “one of my mentors in Israel said: you know, you are a healer, when are you going to step into your purpose? I’m like, yeah, it’s not going to happen, forget it.“

Then came the diagnosis: a tumour, an autoimmune disorder returning. “I could have crumbled. But I said to myself: okay, now you need to step up to your game. Walk your talk. You’re supposed to be a healer. What the heck is going on? Stop drinking. Stop hanging around with certain people. Stop toxic belief patterns.“

A multidimensional approach

Today, Geraldine Hardy embodies a rare synthesis: that of a seasoned businesswoman who speaks the language of EBITDA and fundraising, while mastering ancient healing techniques. “They connect in that we are multidimensional beings,” she explains. “We are not just physical, and we are not just our mind.“

Her clientele? “From yacht crew to even friends that don’t even notice when I speak to them,” she smiles. “Anyone, because everyone can benefit from it. But yes, I do look at C-suite level entrepreneurs.“

A board member of Family Hippocampus, a foundation dedicated to conscious culture for multigenerational wealth preservation, she now works with K2Match as Wellbeing Program Lead. “K2Match is an investor community and startup community beyond what you already know as a typical accelerator or incubator,” she describes. “It’s a human-centric collaboration.“

The Alina project: merging high technology with ancient wisdom

Her next major project? Alina, a sanctuary concept that marries longevity technology with ancient practices. “I noticed from my own healing that longevity technology alone won’t fix it,” she explains. “You really need to go into your emotions, emotional wound healing.“

AI will never replace a healing session

Yoga, Ayurveda, Vedic astrology, traditional Chinese medicine, Qigong, Tai Chi, acupuncture: Geraldine brings these disciplines together with stem cell therapy and artificial intelligence. “AI will never replace a healing session,” she assures. “Because the energy in your frequency counts. My energy cannot be replicated.“

The authentic healer

When asked if she’s a healer, Geraldine gently corrects: “No, I’m actually just facilitating. The healer is within you.” It’s this humility, combined with disarming frankness about her own flaws, that makes her approach so powerful.

“Energy speaks louder than words,” she concludes. “You can inspire and breathe with your words, with your thoughts, and with your energy. Our self-care practice only hones these gifts, this craftsmanship.“

In a world obsessed with performance and quick exits, Geraldine Hardy proposes a quiet revolution: one that begins with reconciling with oneself. In Monaco as elsewhere, her message resonates with urgency among those who, having succeeded at everything, are still searching for what truly matters.
