ABOUT
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 combined roles of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), brain and health. In 2011, she expanded her expertise in injury and pain management through studies of Polyvagal Theory, the Vagus Nerve, trauma-informed manual therapies, neurobiology, and neuroscience. By recognizing the ANS's role in sending safety signals and facilitating interactions both 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.

She utilizes her extensive systems training in Visceral, Cranial, Neurovascular, Fascial, Neural, Musculosketetal, Lymphatic, Oriental Medicine, Acupressure and the Autonomic Nervous System to guide her in identifying and releasing tensions between the relationships of the brain, nerves, fascial systems, organs, ligaments, and joints. She enjoys collaborating with clients and healthcare providers alike to deliver optimal outcomes.
Her whole-body approach combines compassion with a dedication to life-long learning. In her office, each person, infants to elderly, will receive their own specialized care and individual treatment. Her focus is to find and treat the underlying source over the presenting symptom.
