Working with Gia has been an exceptional experience. Gia firmly yet compassionately guided me on a journey of self-discovery, where I peeled back the layers of uncertainty and self-doubt. What I found was my authentic self and then the path became more clear.

I appreciated Gia's ability to truly listen, and often uncover deeper meaning in what I was communicating. I often stepped out of my comfort zone and grew from each experience.
