Herbalist. Mama. Medicine Maker. Fertility Guide.

Hi, I’m Gigi—the founder of Living Wholistic, an educational space rooted in the rhythms of the land, the wisdom of plants, and the incredible power of the female body to heal.

But this isn’t just a business. It’s my lived story—my 7-year journey of reclaiming my health, my womb, and my deep purpose as a woman, healer, and mother.

From Infertility to Empowerment: A 7-Year Healing Journey:

There was a time I felt completely disconnected from my body. After two years of trying to conceive with no answers, I was told I had "unexplained infertility" by my OBGYN. But something in me refused to accept that as the end of the story.

At the time, we were unknowingly living in a house filled with toxic mold. I was bloated, anxious, emotionally unstable, and gaining weight no matter what I did. I didn’t yet understand the profound relationship between my environment, my hormones, and my fertility.

That’s when everything changed.

While studying at the Florida School of Holistic Living, I was introduced to a different way of seeing the body—through the lens of plant energetics, hormone balance, and nourishment. My time in herb school was transformational, especially during an immersive residency where I lived on sacred mountain land with my spirit mama and teacher, Andrea. Those weeks were a rite of passage—filled with plant walks, deep emotional processing, and communion with the natural world that sparked a remembering inside me.

I dove into functional medicine and took the DUTCH hormone panel. The results were clear: my hormones were wildly out of balance. I began building protocols for myself, using herbs and food and rest. But nothing truly shifted—until we left the moldy house and moved to our dream property: a small farm surrounded by oaks and open sky.

We didn’t buy this land just for a fresh start. We bought it because we craved space to heal, to grow our own food, to raise animals, and to live in tune with the Earth. It was a decision rooted in soul.

And slowly, everything began to change.

My body odor lessened (a strange but powerful sign). My moods stabilized. I began to lose weight. I created a toxic mold detox for myself, followed by a new hormone-balancing protocol that worked in harmony with my nervous system, my gut, and my spirit.

Still, the journey was long. Over the next 4 years, I kept doing the work—grieving, learning, surrendering. I often felt crushed by the weight of time, wondering if I’d ever become a mother. But deep down, I had a quiet knowing: I was meant to go through this, so I could help other women do the same.

I made a promise to myself—if I hadn’t conceived naturally by the time I turned 40, I’d explore IVF. That gave me just over a year. So I poured myself into research once again and discovered a 4-month protocol that I committed to fully—along with my husband.

Three weeks in, I conceived.

I turned 40 on May 20th. And on June 4th, I gave birth to our miracle daughter—our living proof of nature’s timing, devotion, and the healing power of the plants.

Now I get to support women who are trying to conceive, struggling with hormone imbalance, or simply yearning to feel at home in their bodies again.

My new 1:1 Fertility & Preconception Coaching weaves together personalized herbal protocols, nutrition, environmental detoxing, cycle tracking, nervous system regulation, and soul-aligned lifestyle shifts. It’s not just about getting pregnant—it’s about becoming whole.

Beyond 1:1 coaching, I also teach women the art and science of herbalism—helping them build the skills and confidence to understand, prepare, and use plants for themselves and their families. Whether you’re drawn to herbs for fertility, hormone support, or everyday wellness, my courses and workshops give you practical, empowering knowledge so you can reclaim your health and reconnect with the natural rhythms of your body.

If you're here, I believe it's for a reason.

This path isn’t easy. But it is sacred. And I’m honored to walk it with you.
