Today we’d like to introduce you to Giselle.
Hi Giselle, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
Giselle is a a multi-disciplinary, trauma-informed Facilitator and Magnetism Coach who believes that your external success is a direct reflection of your internal alignment. She is here to guide you in uncovering your truest, most powerful self—free from past traumas, generational limitations, and societal expectations. Together, we’ll unlock the magnetic energy that already exists within you so you can show up powerfully in every area of your life.
For much of my life, I looked successful on the outside while feeling disconnected and empty on the inside.
I was an anxious overthinker who constantly questioned myself.
I struggled with people-pleasing, perfectionism, and the exhausting habit of trying to earn my worth through achievement.
When people liked me, I felt good, even euphoric at times. But when I felt rejected, it felt earth shattering, and I would spiral into depression..
Anxiety….depression…. it was a seesaw I wanted to get off of but didn’t know how.
I knew there was more available to me, but no matter how much I accomplished, I couldn’t seem to find the lasting sense of peace, confidence, and fulfillment I was searching for.
My story didn’t begin with ideal circumstances. I experienced significant adversity growing up, including abuse, instability, and challenges that left me carrying patterns of hypervigilance, self-doubt, and survival mode well into adulthood.
Even with my complex PTSD, I still persevered into the “Right” opportunities. I managed millions of dollars while working as a portfolio manager at an international bank. I had the fancy, new car and an immaculate resume. So why did I still feel empty?
Like many of the people I work with today, I spent years trying to think my way out of problems that lived much deeper than the mind.
That search led me on a journey of healing and self-discovery that has spanned more than a decade. Through coaching, meditation and mindfulness, nervous system work, Somatic Activated Healing™️ , and deep personal reflection, I began rebuilding my relationship with myself from the inside out.
What I discovered changed everything.
True transformation doesn’t happen through mindset alone.
It happens when the mind, body, and spirit come into alignment.
Today, I help others create that same alignment through a unique blend of nervous system-based coaching, somatic practices, mindfulness and meditation, structured support, gentle accountability, and creative expression.
My work is designed to help you quiet the mental noise, develop deep self-trust, and step into the most authentic expression of who you are.
I believe that when it comes to human beings, there is no such thing as “Enough” or “Not Enough”. Rather, you are whole and complete, Here and Now, Present and Powerful AF, should you choose to uncover that power through deep inner work, courage, guidance, and de-conditioning from your past.
I believe healing is not about fixing yourself. It’s about remembering who you were before disempowering experiences taught you to abandon yourself in order to survive.
And I believe every person deserves the opportunity to live a life that feels fully aligned with who they truly are, in their fullest self expression and personal power.
My role is not to tell you who to be. My role is to help you reconnect with the intuition, power, and authenticity that already exist within you.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
As someone who is here to coach people and hold space for them, I have had to learn (and am still learning) a whole lot about being a business owner. I still am amazed at the kinds of skills I need to learn to equip myself properly. – for example, how to operate an AI powered gimble (don’t know what that is? I didn’t either) or how to build and design a website. Even if you don’t do something yourself and hire someone, you have to be able to discern who is skilled, who’s professional, and who is trustworthy. You develop a keen sense of who to trust and rely on, and who not to, by being a business owner. Entrepreneurship is both the most trying path and the most rewarding. It asks you to have faith before you’ve built out the vision. – belief before anyone else recognizes your value. I am really happy to be on this path in which I am constantly stretching what I can do and how I think.
