In Gina's own words
If you didn’t know better, you’d say my life looked like the surface of a calm, clear lake. I had a good marriage, three hilarious kids, and a comfortable home in a nice neighbourhood. But the waters underneath were turbulent--I was exhausted and easily stressed by everything on my plate. Work. Hockey games. Endless errands and inquisitive in-laws. Until one day, everything broke. I broke.
A diagnosis of general anxiety jarred the hell out of me and was the catalyst for radically reforming how I showed up in my life. At age 44, I finally honoured the voice within me that whispered, “you’re here to make a difference, to do something important. So start. Now.” Creativity--through writing, painting, and ridiculous Crayola drawings of my mini Australian Shepard Gracie--became my self-care practice. It’s how I found my way back home...to myself. It worked its magic as a salve for my anxiety.
The more I said “no” to other people’s demands to prioritize time for my creative pursuits, the more emotionally resilient I became--until one day, my creative practice evolved from simple self-care to a way of being and teaching in this world. I became a certified Kaizen-Muse Creativity Coach. The philosophy of taking small, gradual steps toward continuous progress appealed to me because it reduces overwhelm and increases satisfaction and fulfillment.
Almost everyone--even professional artists--experiences creative blocks. I work with people to normalize these blocks and reshape their daily habits, internal thinking and take concrete actions over a realistic period of time. My focus is on the creative process--not products. I want to help others practice constructive creative thoughts on a daily basis that lead to a more fulfilling life. I help people incorporate their creative passions into their lives and schedules so it’s both fun and rewarding.
