"Through my over two decades of healing work, I now create a
unique place for each person to become grounded, balanced and
restored in a way that meets each individual's specific needs."
~ Gina

I have been practicing massage therapy since 1995, and was certified in prenatal and postpartum massage therapy in 2000. While attending Dominican University of California in the spring of 2002, I trained as a Doula in Oakland, CA. I graduated, magna cum laude, with a Bachelor's degree in Biology in May, 2003. In 2006, I started her training in the Holistic Health modality called BodyTalk and I am one of a few Certified BodyTalk Practitioners in the East Bay. Education is a continual part of my practice. I am currently working on my master of occupational therapy degree.

I have always had an aspiration to create a safe and healing space for all women. During my early work as a massage therapist, I developed a desire to focus on the special needs of expectant and new mothers. I use a variety of therapeutic massage techniques to support the changing structure of the female body during pregnancy, and after delivery. I also give support during the transition time after pregnancy, when adjusting to being a new mom. Although I specialized in working with moms for many years, I continue to work with all women in all stages of life. I see men for massage, by direct referral only.

My own path of healing brought me to different ways of balancing oneself holistically, therefore looking at the whole person—body, mind and spirit. I found that the BodyTalk System provided this whole shift to wellness in the most gentle, deep, effective & quick way I have ever seen in my over 20 years in this field. Through this and my over two decades of healing work, I now create a unique place for each person to become grounded, balanced and restored in a way that meets each individual's specific needs.

I gave birth to my daughter, Satyana, in July of 2011 with the assistance of midwives and a doula. We enjoy laughing, singing & playing as much as possible. My greatest Joys are my daughter and my work.
