Hi! I’m Gina.
After overcoming my fear of public speaking, I dedicated my career to helping others do the same.
But this isn’t my first rodeo – transformation has always been my jam. I’ve spent years helping people get results. Going from A to B. Whether it was supporting leaders going from stress to ease, healthcare professionals from burnout to well-being or helping teenagers in a wilderness therapy program who felt disconnected and angry feel grounded and inspired – supporting people on the journey of stepping into their 3.0 self is my gift.
My coaching philosophy has evolved from the various methodologies I have studied. My master’s in integrative health and wellness coaching, training in conflict resolution, undergrad in psychology, and past decade studying personal development and the science of transformation.
Today, I help professionals and leaders with the mindset and mechanics of public speaking so they can speak up and make an impact.
When it comes to confidence – I don’t help people fake it ’till they make it. I go deep with my clients and help them achieve lasting confidence.
Based on my experience, I know what is possible and am focused on helping people shift the core beliefs that have kept them stuck, fearful, or hiding so they can finally let go and shine!
And, who doesn’t want to shine?
After overcoming my fear of public speaking, I dedicated my career to helping others do the same.
The journey that
got me here.
I wasn’t always a WOW Speaker.
I used to experience intense anxiety and fear when speaking to groups. I would break out into hives, my face would get red, and my voice would shake – I felt embarrassed and like everyone could tell I was nervous!
It didn’t matter how confident in the material I was or that I knew the people I was speaking to; the fear I experienced was real (which was weird because I felt very confident in 1:1 conversations!).
I knew that I was holding myself back. I also knew that I could propel myself forward.
“This is one of the best investments I have ever made for myself!”

Once I realized I could no longer hide from public speaking (and that speaking was the only way to make an impact), I started investing my time and energy into understanding what was holding me back and how to use what I was learning to make effective, lasting changes.
My biggest hurdle wasn’t learning the practical how-tos but understanding how to manage my mindset and be okay with not looking perfect.
Once I got my mind right, I could work on the mechanics side of speaking (like pausing, frameworks, storytelling).
Acquiring those tools in my toolkit was the icing on the cake!
Are you ready to WOW ?
One day after a big speaking event, I remember looking in the mirror in the bathroom afterward and thinking, “WOW – I crushed that.” Then, later, a colleague approached me and said, “Wow, you’re a great speaker!”
I want that for YOU.
I want you to feel like, “WOW, I do have the confidence to get up here in front of 200 people,” or “WOW, I can command the room at work.”
And then, of course, get that WOW response from your audience!
But most importantly, I want you to WOW yourself.
