If you’re exhausted from trying everything and constantly starting over with your eating…
There's a way to be healthy that feels like freedom.
Mastering Mindfulness™ teaches you how to understand your eating patterns, move through cravings, and listen to your body...
So you can end the struggle with food and create a healthy life that feels like freedom…
Without relying on rigid diets, food tracking, or willpower to hold it all together.
If you've been wondering why eating still feels so hard...
What if the missing piece isn't another food plan?
Learn the skills to trust yourself with food,
so taking care of your health finally feels possible...
without relying on willpower, food tracking, or restrictive diets.
If you're here...
You're probably tired of starting over.
I know what it's like to wake up every morning promising yourself you're going to eat better. That this time you'll actually stick to it.
You might be white-knuckling your way through the day...
Constantly thinking about what you're eating...
and trying to stay focused so you don't slip up.
Then after a long day, your mind tells you that one little bite of a treat will be fine. But once you have that first bite, it suddenly feels impossible to stop.
You break another promise to yourself.
And then comes the guilt.
Maybe your version of the cycle looks a little different... but somehow it always seems to end in the same place.
It feels confusing because you genuinely want to eat better. So you try again with another food plan, write down everything you eat, and try harder.
But somehow, you end up starting over.
And you’re left wondering, “Why is this so hard? What am I missing?”
If you've tried everything... maybe there's more to the story.
I know...
You've been told that eating well is about having discipline.
We all have, right?
That if you know what to eat...
you should be able to make yourself do it.
And when you can't… you're told to try harder.
So it makes sense why you've been trying to control your eating.
But that only works when life feels easy.
When you’re well rested…
In a good mood….
No holidays or vacations.
But life doesn't stay that way.
Some days you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, lonely, or even celebrating.
That's when eating the way you want to... doesn't feel so easy.
Knowing what to eat isn't usually the problem.
It's knowing what to do in those moments.
And that's a completely different skill.
It took me years to realize what was actually keeping me stuck.
I've been there too.
For years, I believed I needed to learn more about nutrition.
I became a registered dietitian because I honestly thought that if I knew enough about nutrition... healthy eating would feel easy.
But even after two degrees in nutrition, I still found myself standing in my kitchen, eating when I wasn't even hungry...
Thinking, "Why am I eating this right now?"
And I did everything I thought I was supposed to do.
I tracked my food.
I tried fasting.
I followed meal plans with rules and guidelines.
But the more I tried to control the way I was eating...
the less in control I felt.
That's when I realized...
I didn't need more nutrition information.
I didn't need more willpower.
I needed a different question.
Instead of asking, "Why can't I just do it?"
I started asking myself, "What do I need right now?"
That question opened the door to something no food plan, or even my education, had ever taught me.
You've probably spent years trying to control your eating
What if no one ever taught you how to listen instead?
What changes everything is...
Getting to know yourself.
Instead of trying to force yourself to eat differently...
what if you looked a little closer?
Maybe it's 3 o'clock, and you can't figure out why you it's so hard to put down the bag of chips.
Then you remember... you only had coffee for breakfast.
No wonder you feel ravenous.
Or for some reason you can't stop thinking about food...
and then you realize... you're not actually hungry.
You're exhausted.
Or at the end of the night when you're wanting chocolate...
You realize... you've been taking care of everyone else all day.
It was the first thing that felt like it was just for you.
For the first time...
your eating starts making sense.
You realize you spent so long trying to change your eating...
when what you were really missing...
was getting to know yourself.
Little by little, you start noticing signs that you're changing.
After a long, stressful day, that used to end with cookies...
this time, you pause.
You ask yourself, "What do I really need right now?"
Some days, the cookie really does sound good.
But this time, one feels like enough.
Other days you realize, you don't actually want it.
And for the first time...that feels easy.
One small moment at a time...
you surprise yourself.
Every time you pause...
Every time you ask...
Every time you respond...
you're teaching yourself, "I've got you."
And before you know it, you're not constantly starting over anymore.
You're not fighting yourself through every food decision.
And for the first time in a long time...
you start believing...
that you really can do this.
It doesn't have to feel so hard anymore.
You didn't need to become someone new...
You needed to find your way back to yourself.
One day...
you realize nothing was ever wrong with you.
You always just needed something,
and you didn't know how to listen yet.
Now, when life feels stressful...
or lonely... or overwhelming...
you're not afraid of those moments anymore.
Because you know, whatever comes up...
you'll be there for yourself.
So finally your mind can rest.
You catch yourself daydreaming again...
instead of thinking about what you're doing to eat.
You're laughing with your friends...
instead of thinking about your body.
Life feels a little lighter.
You go on vacation, without the fear of starting over.
Taking care of yourself doesn't feel like punishment anymore.
It becomes something you genuinely want, just because you're someone worth caring for.
You find movement that feels good to your body.
And eating isn't a place you "check out" from... it's an experience.
Your body becomes your partner you want to take care of...
Not something you constantly fix.
And one day...
without even realizing it...
You became the person you always needed.
If this is what you're feeling ready for...
you're in the right place.
Inside Mastering Mindfulness™ you'll understand why you eat the way you do, learn what to do in those moments, and build the kind of trust that changes the way you experience food, and yourself.
Where You Begin
You know what to do, but when stress, cravings, emotions, or real life show up, it can feel like your willpower disappears.
Without understanding, the "on and off" patterns with eating repeat.
What You'll Practice
Instead of forcing yourself to follow rules, you learn how to pause, listen, and understand what's actually happening inside you.
Slowly, food becomes less of a battle…
and more of a conversation with your body.
What Changes
You grow a relationship with your body that is rooted in awareness, compassion, and trust.
You learn how to make food choices with more confidence.
You feel less controlled by cravings.
You begin to feel more steady around food, even when life is not steady around you.
The Mastering Mindfulness™ Practice
Throughout the program, you'll learn to use these four steps until they become second nature.
1 Pause
Create space before reacting.
2 Breathe
Reconnect with yourself before deciding what to do.
3 Notice
Understand what your body, emotions, and thoughts are telling you.
4 Decide
Choose your next step from connection instead of autopilot.
I know what you're thinking...
is this really possible for me?
Hear from students who once felt exactly the way you do, what they discovered along the journey, and how it's changing their lives.

I was excited and terrified to work with Gina. It was challenging for me to trust that the process works. I found it difficult to peel back the layers of my habits, thoughts and beliefs.
However, as I progressed, the light bulb came on.
I have changed my perspective, my awareness, and have so much more peace with food. I'm finally not at war. After 30 years of struggle - that's huge.
I am exceedingly grateful to Gina for her wisdom and support. She has lots of knowledge built on science and experience during her journey.
Thank you for sharing it all with me.

Before Mastering Mindfulness i could not trust myself around food, I would beat myself up and go into a self destructive mode.
When I had my first conversation with Gina I was at an ultimate low in my life and so ready for something to change.
Gina assured me to trust the process and it was so clear she believed in me from the start. I didn't know what I just had got myself into, but my intuition felt excited.
The next few weeks CHANGED my life. I have had more personal growth during this amazing program than I had in my entire 20's.
Have lost 25 pounds and gained self respect and self love that just fills up my entire heart. And nothing was forced, it came completely natural by leaning in and trusting the process.

“In the first few weeks I was able to make life changing strides in my relationship to myself, my body, and food."

Gina came at the exact right time for me. I was ready to change I just couldn’t figure out what that meant. I didn’t know exactly why I felt so stuck.
From the first meetings I was able to make life changing strides in my relationship to myself, my body, and food.
This program and the people a part of it provide a supportive environment that I didn’t know was out there.
Having people hear me, get me and push me forward changed who I am and how I look at food in a permanent way.
The meetings each week and the encouragement to trust the process where the biggest factors that lead to me making deep connections to beliefs and habits that I could change.
Going deep and learning what I need instead of focusing on a specific food related goal helped me to achieve lasting pattern changes.
The work you're doing is life changing.

“Since the start of the program I’ve shed over 39 pounds, developed coping mechanisms for dealing with my anxiety and stress..."
— Amanda
Read Her Story ↓
"Before starting the mastering mindfulness program with Gina, I had participated in countless weight loss programs. I worked with personal trainers, nutritionists, and dietitians.
I tried weight watchers, my fitness pal, gym memberships, and even had consultations with bariatric surgery clinics and medical weight loss programs.
Despite all of the nutrition information I was taught and all of the program options available to me, I couldn’t figure it out.
I wasn’t willing to have bariatric surgery or to live on weight loss shakes and/or pre-packaged chemical laden food through a hospital program.
Eventually I got sick of talking about food, exercise, and health in general.
I essentially gave up.
At some point, my hopelessness about my body and my health became overwhelming. I reached out to Gina and was given the opportunity to join her mastering mindfulness group. This was different than anything I had participated in before.
There were tools and processes that we went through together as a group, but somehow, at the same time the experience was very individualized allowing each of us to address differing needs and/or issues.
We integrated meditation and breathing along with access to plenty of resources. I identified patterns and traumas from the past in relationship to food and body image issues.
I was able to purge a lot of negativity that had been plaguing my thoughts and self-worth for so long.
With this program I haven’t agonized over a meal plan, food options, or portions. I did, however, become keenly aware of my choices and the impact they may have on how I feel physically. I’ve grown to look at everything as data that guides current and future decisions regarding my health journey.
I’ve given up the self-hate and punitive responses to moments of over-eating or eating something traditionally classified as “junk.” I’ve learned to keep moving because even the littlest steps will help to create big change.
I still have a long journey ahead of me, but in just over one year in the program I’ve shed over 39 pounds, developed coping mechanisms for dealing with anxiety and stress that reduced reliance on medication, and realized there are basic things I can implement that have a positive effect on my energy, ability, and judgment.
In closing, working with Gina has been a life lesson in healing, self-love, and connectedness.

THIS IS FOR YOU IF...
You keep promising yourself you'll "start again" tomorrow.
You know what to eat... but following through feels hard.
You want taking care of yourself to feel more natural.
You want to trust yourself instead of relying on another plan.
The idea of getting to know yourself feels exciting.
This is not about...
Another plan to control yourself.
No restrictive food rules.
No tracking everything you eat.
No relying on motivation or willpower.
Another quick fix.
This isn't about giving you more rules to follow.
It's helping you no longer need them.
Hi, I'm Gina
I have a feeling you're ready for something different.
Maybe part of you is hopeful.
Maybe another part is wondering if this could really work for you.
After everything you've been through...
that makes sense.
What I want you to know, is that I've watched women who believed they would always struggle with food... learn to trust themselves.
Not because they became more disciplined.
Because they deepened the relationship with themselves.
That's exactly what I want for you.
And if you're willing to practice...
I'll show you.
Before Mastering Mindfulness, the food noise was so loud in my head.
I knew in my core that the diet hamster wheel wasn't serving me, but I couldn't quite break free of it.
Every time I would get closer to accepting my body, messages from the outside would creep in.
I couldn't figure out how to balance taking care of and nourishing myself with the desire to be thinner that was leading me down unhealthy roads.
I needed to hear a voice I could trust to keep me steady moving forwardbut didn't realize it was my own that I needed to hear the most.
Gina turned my own questions and anxieties back towards myself so that I could finally listen to and trust my inner knowing.
Going into this program, I knew that I would be asked to reconsider how I think about food, but nothing could have prepared me for the far-reaching effects that work has had.
This program taught me how to be embodied again.
It sent me on a path that has influenced not just how I approach food, but also my relationships .

"When you started talking about what love feels like, I remember in the beginning saying, I don’t even know what that feels like.
Now, self love feels like this strong, steady connection. Someone holding my shoulders up like, “I’ve got you.”
This connection with myself will make me so equipped to handle anything in life.
It feels like this unwavering, strong steady fortress.
I’ve got me, no matter what.
Thank you so much for this Gina.
Mastering Mindfulness has been the best experience of my life.”
- Taylor
"My husband brought home a dessert. I had a couple bites and enjoyed it but then realized it’s not actually what I want.
I could look at what beliefs those desires were tied to... and if it aligns with what I want in life.
It all became more intuitive. I was able to do that because of my work with you.
This was life changing. The work you’re doing is truly life changing. The tools are game changing.”
-Mastering Mindfulness student
I signed up for this program thinking I was going to get some good strategies for resisting cravings.
I did receive good strategies but I also gained so much more.
I have a better understanding of truly listening to my body to learn what it is trying to tell me.
I learned that I can be my own friend and show compassion and care for myself in more authentic ways when I am willing to look at and feel my emotions.
I learned about digging deeper for finding my "why".
I am truly grateful to Gina for the gift of this program and am looking forward to lots of practice to get better at using the tools I've been given!
