About

I am a facilitator, coach and artist. My highest excitement is in supporting people to shake off the societal shackles that keep us small and afraid, to discover their innate sense of power, worth and aliveness.

I have a fierce love of women and a true desire to uplift those around me to become bigger, brighter and bolder in their expression. Bringing women together to forge friendships and create communities for people to love and grow together is central to who I am and how I work.

I am a fiend for discovering potent practices that bring me ever closer to myself and my connection to life. You can find me getting weird and wild on some dusty dance floor, squeeling in the Atlantic ocean, enjoying a glass of wine watching the sunset, and shaking off my anger to a nearby tree.

I love art in all its forms. I paint, write, dance, sing. To me, creativity is not a luxury but a way of life.

At The Heart of What I Value

THE COURAGE TO BE UNAPOLOGETICALLY MYSELF AND LEAN INTO WHAT I’M AFRAID OF

THE COMPASSION TO HOLD THE DARK AND PAINFUL PARTS OF MYSELF WITH COMPASSION

THE WISDOM TO KNOW THAT PLAY, JOY AND PLEASURE ARE ESSENTIAL TO A HUMAN LIFE

Above all else

THE LOVE OF TRUTH

Testimonials

  • I've got a finely tuned bullshit detector, and it takes a lot for me to trust a facilitator enough to let go. Gaia is one of those facilitators. Warm, discerning, silly. She's overflowing with obviously hard-won wisdom, delivered with a twinkle in the eye that speaks to her connection to her own fallible humanness. She's a rare and special creature and I would encourage others to put their faith in her as I have done."

    Michael Matania, CEO Mycelium

  • You have a way of creating the most non-judgemental, all-embracing spaces, and it starts with how you showed up for us as your full, perfectly imperfect, self. You created a deep sense of trust. I love your balance of gentleness and wildness; of both creating safe space and pushing us to lean into our edges. Your use of humour and humility is so refreshing.

    Caitlyn O’Conner Teacher and Coach

  • Gaia was loving, encouraging and empowering. She artfully led us through the process, bringing us to our edges just enough. Her trust in us allowed us to trust ourselves.

    Jenny Kirby

  • Gaia has a wealth of knowledge and she's an exceptional facilitator. In fact, what I'm truly here for is the depth she can present. Her beautifully crafted, educational, practical and emotional spaces were teaching me in ways it's been challenging, and still comfortable enough to open up and show myself.

    Orshi Orsolya Szeverics, Facilitator and Somatic Practitioner

  • Gaia is such an amazing facilitator. I learned so much about myself while being utterly fascinated with all that I was learning. And what a beautiful community of people, so open and welcoming.

    Chanuki S.

  • I loved witnessing Gaia's ability to 'read the room', adapt her content each week to our needs and her intuitive nature in dealing with challenging emotions that arose within the group.

    Alice Mayor - Founder of We Built This City

  • Gaia felt very real. She included the light and the dark in what she was sharing with us. I loved the stories that Gaia brought and how she delivered them with playfulness and commitment.

    Lelia

  • Gaia is authentic and I like that. She is great at reading a room, even over Zoom and she is willing to listen and change up her plans if it means the group will get more out of the experience. Gaia has a real passion for this work and it shows.

    Raquel Lopez

  • I feel very lucky we found Gaia, the relational coaching has been worth more than I can say, how can you put a price on something that helps you rediscover the love and joy you have for your partner after a really challenging period.

    Anna M

  • Gaia held the space with kindness, humility and great care, drawing on her own experience & vulnerability with refreshing honesty and a lightness we both appreciated too. We were helped through a very sticky situation that without the sessions may have been too much for us to navigate.
