I was initially drawn to working with Gina because I value her intersectional liberation-focused politics, and I continue to work with her because of her nurturing patience with my layered health issues. I appreciate how much progress we’ve made in a relatively short time. And, as we continue to go deeper, I value the generous way she communicates her approach — I’ve learned a lot thanks to her openness, and I also feel safe and empowered, which I think contributes a great deal to healing in the long run.

When I first started seeing Gina, I was recovering from three consecutive, life-altering surgeries. My emotional and physical states were shaken and weak. Gina provided space for my anxieties, fears, and the small steps that propelled us forward in my wellbeing. The results haven’t been immediate — healing requires faith. For me, it is most palpable when I think about where I was 2 years ago and where I am now: regaining things like a full night’s sleep, a sense of calmness, and even self-worth, are my big victories.

I recommend Gina as an energetic herbalist because she ‎helped me resolve my GI tract inflammation and bacterial infection. Gina understands how confusing and frightening it can be to be sick and she worked as a team member with me, striving to come up with a treatment plan that would work well for me. Gina is respectful, caring, and efficient, and this combination of qualities makes her a genuine pleasure to deal with, every time.
