In this insightful and heartwarming episode, Gina shares her journey from corporate life to kinesiology, guided by deep trust and resilience. Through personal trials—including life-altering family news just before giving birth—she discovered her soul’s calling: helping others heal holistically.  

We explore the power of body wisdom, self-compassion, and overcoming perfectionism and self-sabotaging behaviours, alongside the transformative impact of holistic healing. 

Gina and Olivia discuss the key differences between traditional talk therapy and holistic modalities like kinesiology and integrative healing, highlighting how deeper transformation occurs when we address mind, body, and energy together.  

This episode also explores how being in the 'mud'—facing trauma and life's toughest challenges—can reveal our greatest gifts. Both Gina and Olivia share how they embarked on their spiritual journey back within themselves and the practical tools that best supported them during the unravelling, such as meditation, resilience-building strategies, and somatic connection.
