TESTIMONIALS
"Therapeutic Art Coaching with Gina has been life transforming for me! I have journaled in writing for many years, but as I have been going through a season of pain, I felt the desire to try therapeutic art as well. I am so much more emotionally healthy as I now have the skills to process my emotions and to tell my story with color, line and verse. I have gained deeper insights which has led to much emotional growth, inner healing and overall peace in my life. Gina is a wise and instructive guide, who can lead others on their own journey of healing while giving them lifelong skills to regulate their emotions in a healthy way. She provides a safe, non-judgmental environment in which to learn and grow. Gina’s gentle wisdom from her own life journey and that of helping others has been invaluable to me. I am forever thankful, and plan to use this creative outlet of growth the rest of my life! "

"Life coaching from Gina gave me a safe and encouraging space to talk through some of life’s complexities. She listened well, and expanded on language and imagery I used to bring clarity and new perspective to my situation. Her empathy and humor made our time together a rich experience."

"As the elementary art teacher for PHAA, Gina did a phenomenal job! Her attention to detail could be seen in her engaging art lessons each week for 2nd-8th grades. Gina helped our students develop a love for art and creative expression. Gina also coordinated an annual art show as well as facilitated an art auction which generated financial support for the arts at our school! Gina supported the arts at our school for 5 years. She is a dedicated teacher/worker whom I would highly recommend."
