Gigi's natural curiosity about how things work, creativity, and continuous desire to learn have been integral in forming her physical wellness and whole body approach to Manual Therapy treatment.
As a bodyworker with over three decades of experience, she uses Manual Therapy to assist your body-mind's self-corrective mechanisms to heal itself and resolve your chronic tension patterns. She envisions a practice in which she promotes positive health through Manual Therapy for all people of all abilities with integrity, compassion, creativity, and gratitude. Her private practice has been located in Denver, Colorado since 1991. She enjoys collaborating with a variety of health professionals in the management and care of her clients' progress.
As an educator with her clients, she values informing on how to understand and maintain
awareness of your own body-mind, and fostering a "self-healer" lifestyle. With students she shares her enthusiasm of anatomy, physiology, and Manual Therapy techniques with them as they travel on their journey of exploring the amazing body-mind. She has instructed massage therapy students in one year programs of Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology. And as a Lowen Systems DMI certified practitioner and instructor she has taught introductory courses and assisted in Lowen Systems Seminars.
