Leadership transition supports continued growth, global collaboration, and advancement of research and professional standards.

ZURICH and HALIFAX, NS, May 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Logosynthesis® International Association (LIA™) announced the appointment of Regina Thiergardt, PhD, of Switzerland, as President, effective March 25, 2026. She succeeds Heike Rudolf von Rohr, PhD, who completed her three-year term as President after leading significant strategic development within the organization.

Dr. Thiergardt assumes leadership at LIA as its international community continues to expand and Logosynthesis® is gaining recognition as an approach that supports meaningful, sustained change in coaching, counselling, and psychotherapy. Her career connects science, leadership, and human development.

In her new role, she will focus on strengthening LIA as a globally connected professional community, fostering collaboration among practitioners, advancing shared professional practice, and supporting the model's real-world application.

"I've seen what becomes possible when people reconnect with themselves," said Dr. Thiergardt. "That moment changes everything. My vision is to strengthen what this community enables and help bring this shift to many more people—together."

Continuing in their Chair positions are Dr. med. Suzanne von Blumenthal, Cathy Caswell, Alan Rojas Yacolca, and Henriette Anzböck. They will work alongside President Thiergardt and Executive Director Monika Koller Schinca to support the continued development of LIA's programs, professional standards, and global community.
