WHAT SOME OF MY CLIENTS ARE SAYING

“Gina is an incredible human being who listens with her heart. Unlike career coaches who focus on strategies and methodologies, she begins with empathy, empowering her clients to trust themselves. Thanks to her guidance, I was able to tune into what my heart truly desires, even when those desires were clouded by fear, family dynamics, or societal expectations. I am deeply grateful for her support and highly recommend her.” — A.Z.

“It was wonderful to work with Gina to work through impending career and life transitions. Beyond plotting next steps, we together steadily unpacked many life dimensions that were negatively affecting my energy and motivation. Gina created a wonderful environment to freely talk about all aspects of my life. She is an excellent listener, and very thoughtful about any ideas or thoughts she might introduce. I definitely feel much more confident in how to navigate further decisions and remain in my power alley. Thank you Gina!” — P.W.

“I am enormously grateful for Gina’s help to date. She supported me during a painful and crucial juncture in my life. I needed to see beyond the period in which my husband was dying, to think about how my life would continue—joyfully—beyond his death. She compassionately and creatively supported me in exploring possible new careers. I would recommend Gina to anyone in need of guidance in challenging times.” — J.B.

“It was a great pleasure learning about Gina through our shared Middlebury background, and then choosing to work with her. I always looked forward to our conversations, during which time she would synthesize my myriad thoughts into poignant suggestions. She was at the ready with tools and tips, from worksheets and follow-up questions to larger perspective shifts that were super-helpful. And above all, through our work together I feel both empowered and confident in the directional steps I am taking.” — S.H.

“When I found Gina, I was at a point in my life in which I knew something needed to be different at work, but I didn't know what. While I had become very comfortable in my career, I had this sense that I could do more, be more, and also that I could be happier with my work environment. Working with Gina, I was able to gain focus and confidence to start looking at other options. She walked with me as I started to revamp my very old resume and put feelers out to my network. I found a great opportunity, and Gina was there to help coach me through my feelings of self doubt as I went through the process of interviewing. I am thrilled to say that I got the job, and my work life is even more than I could have imagined! I think back to that feeling I had of things being not quite right, but bearable, at my last job and how I might be stuck there right now if I hadn't decided to try out coaching. Gina is so supportive and wise. She has helped me navigate so much.” — H.B.

“I worked with Gina when I was making a pivot in my career. She provided sage advice and helped restore my confidence in my job search. The thoughtful questions she asked enabled me to recognize what was most important for me in my next career role. Without her encouragement and guidance, I am not sure I would have been able to transition to a new role as quickly as I did. She is very empathetic, great at what she does, and I truly enjoyed working with her!” — M.O.

“Working with Gina gave me confidence in my job search and my understanding of my career goals and aspirations. I wasn’t looking for a life coach when I met Gina, but after taking advantage of the free session I was impressed by her ability to hone in on what truly matters to me and to steer me towards a path that felt authentic to me. She is a phenomenal listener and thoughtful guide through the uncertainty of a major life transition. She helped to keep me accountable throughout the job search process and to evaluate my progress through an impartial lens. I would highly recommend working with Gina; her approach to coaching left me feeling renewed, grounded, and confident in my decisions.” — J.P.

“I had the opportunity to work with Gina for a few months before some major shifts in both my personal and professional life. What I liked most about working with Gina is her ability to balance both guiding and listening. While we defined long-term goals in our sessions that we regularly revisited, she also consistently created space for me to decide where I most needed to spend our time each day that we met. With that, we were able to balance both my long-term and short-term needs, and her sincerity, empathy, and ability to truly listen helped me to open up in our sessions immediately. I've walked away from our sessions with clarity and new tactics in my toolkit. She's truly great at what she does!” — E.V.

“I am really enjoying working with Gina. We're 3 months in, and in today's session we were reflecting on how much progress I've made in a short time. I hadn't been looking for a coach but when I met Gina I enjoyed talking with her and thought she'd be a good person to work with on thinking through some major career decisions I had coming up. So I gave it a try, and it's been super beneficial. I look forward to the sessions, the reflection exercise prior to each session is just the right length and content, and now I also have a written record of that work. I definitely attribute some of the progress to these sessions, and even if that hadn't come as quickly, the process would still have been valuable. I highly recommend working with Gina—and with her generous offer of a free session, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain!” — J.P.

“Gina's core strengths as a coach are her listening skills, ability to empathize with her clients, and asking good questions that make you become aware of your own self-limiting beliefs. I sought out Gina because I needed help navigating a career transition in the midst of tumultuous life circumstances. I was feeling hopeless and scared of what is to come. Working with Gina helped me learn many aspects about myself that I otherwise would not have observed, and helped me feel a lot braver to navigate life's challenges. I really like that Gina does not hesitate to point out assumptions and beliefs I am carrying that are not serving me. Through our sessions, Gina became like a big sister to me, a non judgmental listener who keeps encouraging me to believe in myself and be brave while facing uncertainties in life. Working with Gina has truly been a transformative experience for me, and I highly recommend working with her.” — K.T.S.

“What sets Gina apart from other life and career coaches is that her goal is to help her client trust their own experience and feel empowered to make choices that reflect their values. Gina helped me find clarity and take action to work towards building the life of my dreams. Through working with Gina, I learned how to trust myself and bring my truest self into everything I do.” — N.C.

“When I started working with Gina a year ago, I was in the midst of what felt like an existential crisis, as I was trying to figure out what I wanted in a job and how to get there. Through our work together, I was able to identify who I am as an individual, as well as an employee, and we were able to figure out what it was I was actually looking for. After getting a new job, Gina helped me navigate my insecurities of no longer being "the expert" in my field and starting over in a new career field. Most recently, when an appealing new opportunity arose, Gina helped me become grounded in my ideals and values, guiding me towards a decision that made my heart sing. Gina is very client-centered and caters the sessions for each individual. It is without a doubt that I was able to make a leap of faith because of the work I did with Gina.” — A.P.

“I began working with Gina when I lost my job and wanted support mapping out my next move. Gina's approach to coaching helped me navigate what I felt was a mess but what was actually just a path I hadn't been down before. She is an exceptional listener and provided insightful feedback and perspective. She steered me to resources and research when that's what I needed, and she asked questions that brought my own analysis a level deeper. Thanks to her support, I was able to make the most of my time off while also working toward a clearer picture of the type of work I want to take on next. Transitions are destabilizing but working with Gina gave me the courage to trust my instincts and navigate uncertain circumstances with confidence.” — A.H.

“I decided during the pandemic that it was time to optimize my life, to explore what was keeping me stuck in certain areas and set a new intention for my career and life moving forward. As early as our first session, Gina provided the space and structure I needed to get to work. She asked thought-provoking questions that made me examine myself and my goals in new ways, and guided me towards actionable steps I could take to immediately start building momentum—that's often the hardest part! What's been truly amazing about Gina is her ability to identify core beliefs and values I hold and orient the coaching process around them. It's a very tailored approach and I leave each session feeling grounded, supported and energized. Gina is the best!” — K.R.

“I've known Gina as a colleague and a friend for a while. However, nothing could have prepared me for what I've experienced with her coaching skills. I was always aware that she was a stellar manager, a confidant and had a level-headed personality. Once she started coaching me, it was then that I saw how she can wear these multiple hats simultaneously without losing her objectivity. In every session, I learn something else about myself and that's down to her unique questioning methods and taking you out of your comfort zone to face your fears. If she had a catchphrase, it would be START NOW!”— S.C.

“Coaching is a skill that requires both heart and mind working in tandem to best serve one another and Gina absolutely embodies that skill. In the time that I have worked with her, I have had more "aha" moments than I can count, and have truly had the opportunity and space to be myself, free from judgment. Gina is a wonderful coach and is truly committed to helping others succeed in finding out who they are and how they can be great!” — D.H.

“Gina is an absolute professional! Working with her on a one-on-one basis has provided me with the space to understand myself, my choices and the roadblocks I had been facing in a new light. I walk away from each session feeling heard, seen, respected and also with a sense of personal achievement that I have shifted my thinking and stretched myself. I have deeply benefited from this opportunity, and am very grateful!” — H.C.

“I worked with Gina over 10 years ago and then had the pleasure of reconnecting with her as my coach over the last 3 months. She helped me identify and appreciate my strengths. Furthermore, she also ensured that after each session I had specific tools and skills to take the next step in my career journey.” — D.B.

“I very much look forward to each of my fortnightly sessions with Gina! We cross over many topics I am concerned about, dig deep on selected, and develop approaches to make my everyday life crystal clear. Gina is amazing at listening, nudging and guiding me to come up with solutions that really make a difference. I am looking forward to many more sessions!” —

“Working with Gina over this three-month period has been so productive. I approached Gina for help deciding among three options I was considering. A natural ‘seller’, I wanted to curb my instincts to sell myself, and instead take stock first of what I wanted, and to gain a deeper appreciation of what brings me joy. I found Gina particularly helpful in bringing to light those aspects of my work that I enjoy versus the aspects that I am competent in, that I often receive praise for, but that don’t actually bring me joy. The insights I have gained with Gina’s guidance will prove invaluable as I move forward into the future. I would recommend Gina to anyone considering a change.” — M.D.

“It has been a sincere delight working with Gina as a coach. I feel heard, understood and supported for the goals I’m trying to achieve. I firmly believe that what differentiates a good coach from an amazing one is being able to hold the space for me and promote a safe environment that invites me to feel vulnerable, safe, heard in a compassionate and empathetic way. I want to feel understood and guided toward the path of working to be a better version of myself and Gina embodies all of the skills to do that for me. I love how she shares tools of the trade that she’s learned throughout her career and her own journey of personal development. I’ve incorporated a few of these tools and they’ve been working by causing me to have some “aha” moments along the way, and most importantly, making me feel that I am finally moving towards achieving my desired life goals. I am grateful to call Gina my coach—she is truly gifted—and I highly recommend her.” — S.L.

“Gina came into my life when I needed her. I was going through some life challenges and desperately needed guidance. Gina helped me figure out my goals and dig deep to find the goddess within me. She gave me a push in the right direction and inspired me to be better in every conversation we had. I honestly think I am a better person because of her. I am truly grateful and honored that she took me on as her client. Gina is an intuitive rockstar!” — C.M.

Gina's ability to listen with sincerity, her meticulous attention to detail, and her genuine desire to help me grow, has helped me find focus and direction on where I want to go in my life. I feel very comfortable talking with her, and she's been able to pick up on things that I may not even realize, and then proceeds to ask questions to get me thinking about it even more. I am so glad to have Gina as such a strong resource to help me work through tough decisions and even struggles I'm having. Coaching with Gina has made me better and I am forever grateful!” — C.H.

“Before working with Gina I felt like I was working towards my goals, and that some of the roadblocks I saw would disappear as I gained more experience. Speaking with Gina helped me course correct and through our conversation she showed me the tools I already had in my toolkit. Gina is kind, patient, and empathetic—letting me do the talking and asking the right questions to deeply change my way of thinking.” — M.S.

“Gina came into my life when I was in a dark place, needing some light to show me the path forward but I didn't know where to turn. She was that light, that beacon of hope that things can and will get better. Throughout our sessions as I thought things were stagnant, I wasn't progressing in changing my life for the better, she would prove me wrong with my own words. It was astounding to see her perspective of me change my perspective of myself, and only in the best of ways. While I have a long way to go, the tools and strategies we built up together will last a lifetime. I can’t thank Gina enough for all the support and guidance!” — D.A.

“In 2020 I found myself in need to find my first full-time position in a new country. I wasn’t familiar with the concept of coaching and one night, scrolling my LinkedIn feed, I came across Gina’s post inviting to her sessions. Of course, I signed up to learn more. Those 45 minutes of an introductory session flew like a minute. Gina led me with care and empathy. I shared my story and current difficulties and received so much food for thought that I’m still processing. I learned that coaching is another great tool of self-care and a key to the door behind which you can find your-true-self. With such a guide like Gina holding your hand and softly directing you towards your real goals. Grateful.” — A.C.

“I was at a crossroads in my career and trying to figure out what the next step was. A trusted friend referred me to Gina and the 45-minute introductory session was definitely time well spent. Gina was attentive and focused, and filled with positivity. She was absolutely a joy to work with.” — K.R.

"Being coached by Gina is just what I needed. She made me feel so comfortable and helped me untangle the thoughts in my mind in just a few sessions. Gina really helped me come closer to my goals and I am looking forward to continuing to work with her.” — A.D.

“Gina helped me with the difficult decisions I had in front of me. I found her sessions invaluable in giving me much needed insights and feedback on what I should be focused on and how best I should approach the world. She is a Master in making her clients feel heard and valued!” — D.S.

“Working with Gina has given me the space I have needed to discuss and explore areas of my life that I have been struggling with. She has helped to talk through finding the answers that are manageable and that I feel good about. Our conversations have been flexible, realistic, supportive and productive. She asks good questions and has a good system for being efficient and thorough during the sessions.” — A.T.

“I connected with Gina for one free session. In that one session Gina asked great questions, listened intently, and provided TWO BIG connections I hadn't thought of before. If you're making a transition, working through something in your current life, or just want someone to ask you great questions and make you THINK, Gina is for you!” — K.L.
