Gina has 30+ years of life experiences, good and bad, from the trauma she endured. The aftereffects of trauma are real, very real.

By doing so, she learned more about childhood trauma, and the way it impacts the mind, body and soul. She was finally able to understand what living as a trauma survivor meant.​ ​Gina's ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences) Score is a 9/10. Through those experiences, she is able to offer patience, understanding, kindness, compassion, empathy, safety and professionalism in a non-judgmental space. She wants YOU to be your authentic self.

I'm a massage therapist, and I often see underlying emotional trauma behind my clients' chronic pain conditions. I started my coaching training with one year of Gabor Mate's Compassionate Inquiry, followed by two coaching classes with an IFS slant, and then IFS Level 1 before I found the GTI as my coaching "home." I'm currently pursuing IFS certification and my sessions are IFS oriented, but not dogmatic. I like to think of them as a shamanic journey to rescue and give hope to your inner children. And yet sessions are very client-led. I give my clients my full attention for a one-hour session by Zoom and charge a sliding scale. For an in-depth view of my coaching approach, see my blog: https://www.mbodimentmassage.com/blog

I am a CTCP, with an advanced certification in NPE Trauma Recovery Coaching, and have a B.A. in psychology. After discovering my NPE status I found there is a lack of qualified mental health care providers for the NPE community. Our sense of loss, pain and grief are often misunderstood and overlooked by society and our families. As an NPE and CTCP I have unique skills and knowledge to provide a safe space to help you understand your trauma. Using humor, compassion, and education we’ll find healing in your story, and let the light shine in again.
