ABOUT
Drawn to anatomy and physiology, and meaningful human connection, Gigi shifted her career focus in 1990 from software engineering to Manual Therapy and "human engineering". She has formed her whole-body treatment approach by blending intuitive reasoning and analytical assessment. Gigi is committed to personalized care in a supportive setting for individuals, of all ages, and abilities. She enjoys collaborating with clients and healthcare providers alike to deliver optimal outcomes.
In her private practice, Gigi values teaching clients the importance of self-care and body awareness in preventing injuries, managing stress and fostering a "self-supportive" lifestyle.
In the classroom, she enjoyed sharing her enthusiasm with students as they learned and explored the amazing human body. She has instructed one-year curriculum of Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology. As a Certified Practitioner and Instructor of Lowen Systems DMI, she has taught and assisted in Lowen Systems continuing education seminars.
EDUCATOR
Gigi is passionate about the roles of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and health. She expanded her expertise in injury and pain treatment in 2011 by exploring the nuanced interactions between the brain, ANS, and pain. Through her studies of Polyvagal Theory, the Vagus Nerve, trauma-informed manual therapies, neurobiology, and neuroscience, she gained a deeper understanding of the ANS's impact on overall health. By recognizing the ANS's role in sending safety signals and facilitating resilient interactions internally and externally, Gigi effectively addresses key components to underlying causes of chronic pain and offers her clients insights on how to achieve this for themselves.
