journey
From a very young age Gina was mÅ«ving through the stages of her life shape shifting forms to satiate her creative expression and connection to self from gymnastics, sports, dance/ballet, martial arts, functional mobility, weight training, qi-gong, tai chi, fascia conditioning and the many traditional styles of yoga. It was from the depths of her illness and personal healing journey she discovered the immense healing power of the body-mind-spirit connection and center of self. From there she dug her heels in deep embracing a holistic way of living using all the tools she obtained along the way and hasn’t turned back.
Discovering the perpetual dance that pendulates to maintain and sustain the vehicle through which she is a conduit she finds solace in the divine ritual of her daily practices that enable her to share and channel flow. Through the years she remained wildly curious of human potential and continued to deepen her awareness, gain knowledge and information, find expression and ultimately creatively dance in her human experience. She immersed herself in many of the teachings/traditions of Yoga, the study of Anatomy, TCM, Universal Laws, Yoga Therapy, Meditation, functional mobility, and fascia conditioning.
Gina went on to study Holistic Nutrition as well as Herbalism weaving science and traditional ways to not only supports her health journey but her family and community. She is no stranger to the impact of dis-regulation, relationships around food and the profound impact proper nourishment has on each unique individual. She approaches her consults holistically through the lens of Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine and all the knowledge and information she has obtained through her years of study and immersion. She assesses and offers sustainable support with not only nourishing foods but also tools to manage stress and lifestyle integration for optimal wellness.
