Approach
"Gina's goal as a practitioner is always to personalize as she does not believe in a "one size fits all" approach with her patients. She has a compassionate approach and is an empathetic listener; She understands that making changes can be difficult but they don't have to be when you have the right "tools in your toolbox" and consistent support. Gina believes with realistic goals and baby steps in small increments most goals are achievable and attainable and will create long lasting change."
