Hi there, I'm glad you're here!
A few years ago, at 43, I felt like I was just drifting through life without a clear purpose. I was avoiding my feelings and pretending everything was okay, but deep down, I was struggling. Some challenging experiences forced me to face my issues and start my journey toward healing and living with intention.
Fast forward to today, and I'm living a life that feels right for me. It's not perfect, but I’ve learned to let go of the feelings of unworthiness that held me back. Now, I focus on what truly matters to me.
As a Certified Life and Trauma Recovery Coach, I want to help you on your journey too. I use Satir Coaching tools to support people as they grow into their best selves. I'm also the co-creator of the SCORES™ Model, a relational framework that I practice with clients to help them create lives they love.
I have Doctorate Degrees in Clinical Pastoral Psychotherapy and Multifaith Education, as well as Master’s Degrees in Multicultural Education and Spiritual Direction. I’m also a Soul Collage© Facilitator, incorporating creativity into the healing process.
Beyond my qualifications, I’m a mom, mentor, speaker, author, and a firm believer in everyone’s inner strength. My own experience of overcoming the trauma of ritual abuse has given me a unique perspective on resilience.
This space is about us working together, honestly and openly. Your growth and transformation are my priorities. Let’s work towards unlocking your potential and creating a life that truly resonates with who you are.
Experiencing trauma can take away your sense of safety in the world. With me, you have voice and choice in every aspect of our work together and I hold what you tell me in strict confidence.
Honest communication is important to me. Understanding and agreeing upon clear, high expectations for me (coach) & you (client) sets the stage for a successful coaching relationship.
You can always speak honestly about what you’re feeling because what you have to say is important. You are in control of your journey and I feel honored to walk it with you.
I view our relationship as a team effort. I believe you possess deep wisdom & knowledge about what is best for you. My role is to help unlock your knowing so you can live the life you desire.
As a trauma survivor, I can relate to you on a fundamental level. You are not alone in this process. I see you. I hear you. You matter to me, and I care about what happens to you.
I see you as a unique individual with special talents and gifts you bring to the world. I strive to understand your experience through your worldview and offer a noncritical perspective.
Words cannot adequately capture or express the profound caring, compassion, and connection that Gina pours into every relationship. Gina is relentless in her desire to attune to and seek out understanding and to work with women to develop their own authentic ability to heal and embrace their own inner core and values.
She is a rarity . . . an amazing and exceptional rarity who will help you see who you truly are, even when you might not be sure who you are. Her wisdom, understanding, and experience have given her a unique perspective, deep empathy, and the warmest smile. Gina is real, authentic, patient and beyond dedicated to helping us heal through and live with wholehearted acceptance of ourselves, our sometimes broken, hurt, fearful and anxious selves.
She is dedicated to helping women to develop essential life skills for deeper and more profoundly meaningful relationships.
I absolutely recommend Gina without reservation.
If you are lucky enough to walk alongside with Gina, to share your struggle . . . your story with Gina, I believe you will feel beyond blessed. Through this journey, this walk, as you learn to love and accept yourself with each step, with Gina’s guidance I believe you will be able to navigate toward your most authentic self, toward even radical acceptance of yourself.
Wow, what a concept . . . is this even achievable?
Yes, it is my dear sister!
I believe she will inspire you to let go of what you no longer need, to embrace what will nurture your heart, encourage you to believe in yourself, and even allow you to allow yourself to live your best life.
What I know is that we are all on a journey, we are each more than enough and we can face our fears!
We can all do tough things and experience the greatest miracle in any relationship, the knowledge that we are worthy of love, that’s it’s ok to ask for help and (gasp!) allow another to help guide us, to see us, to hear our hearts.
Gina will help you discover and grow your own unique and power-filled voice, maybe for the first time.
For me, I believe we are often hurt in our relationships AND we also heal and restore through our relationships.
I invite you to befriend yourself and take an important next step to spiral into your potential and see yourself with new eyes!
You are absolutely worth it! Go for it!
-Virginia AU, a deeply grateful client
