Iris Bea is a former neuroscientist turned facilitator and therapist. She’s fascinated by the role of the mind, brain, and nervous system as gateways into transformation — shaping how we experience reality, inhabit the body, and awaken to possibility. 

Her goal is to leverage the insights from science, alongside contemplative and traditional healing practices, to guide people towards greater vitality, alignment, and the fulfillment of their highest potential. 

She was a researcher at Harvard and then Princeton’s Psychology departments before pursuing a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience. Most recently, she moved to New York to pursue licensure as an LMHC.

Su is a founding partner of The Creative Collective Team at Compass, where she blends 15 years of expertise and over $400M in closed business with a deeply personal, client-centered touch. Ranked in the top 1.5% of agents nationwide, her true reward isn't the accolades, but the joy of helping first-time buyers, women, and people of color build a foundation of wealth and security they can call their own.

Su’s heart has been shaped by the world, having traveled to over 50 countries, but she finds her truest home in the rhythm of salsa dancing. After a decade on the dance floor, she describes salsa as the spark that changed her life, leading her to the TEDx Suzhou stage to share her joyful journey in movement. Su is so excited to bring her story and her passion to the ABL community, helping others find their own rhythm and joy in their bodies. 

Through constellation work, Kyla was able to heal generational money trauma and 3x her revenue. She now helps her clesties (client-turned-besties) do the same.
