HELLO FRIENDS!
My name is Gina, I am so glad that you made it.
The offerings that I extend to you here are the culmination of more than 15 years of study and practice in bodywork & natural medicine, 20 years as an educator and a lifetime as a visual & musical artist.
I like to imagine every step of my journey to have been another ingredient stirred into the cauldron of medicine that can bring us closer to ourselves- or another thread woven into the tapestry with which I can wrap you when you most need to be held.

How I use my tools…
-

Acupuncturist
I practice the ancient medical art of using tiny needles to help your body remember how to be in balance. I focus on the Classical Channel Systems (primarily Sinews and 8 Extraordinary vessels) for chronic physical or psycho-emotional conditions.
-

Chinese Medical Essential Oil Practitioner
Via years of study and practice, my lifelong friendship with plants has blossomed into a potent clinical approach to healing. Essential oils are used Classically in Daoist Alchemical acupuncture and are also an excellent way for participants to continue their treatments at home.
-

Threshold Doula
Originally called to birth doula-ship via massage, I spent years supporting perinatal families with Spinning babies, birth partnership and postpartum care. My offerings are now in the form of retreat that mirror the chapters of labor and honor the ongoing life-death-rebirth processes of human existence.
-

Massage Therapist
There is no medicine on the planet quite like hands-on healing. Communicating with the physical container housing the spirit, bodywork is one of my favorite ways to honor my clients lived somatic experience and facilitate deeper inner-connectivity and healing.
