Helping women reclaim their health,
one breath at a time
Stress silently undermines women's physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing. Through depth psychology, hypnotherapy, and compassionate coaching, I help you build the skills to heal — and stay well.
About Gilda
A guide for the
whole woman
I work at the intersection of psychology, healing arts, and practical wellness coaching — bringing depth, warmth, and real clinical training to every relationship. My work is especially meaningful to women navigating the hidden costs of chronic stress, and to those walking the difficult road of a cancer diagnosis.
"Healing is not the absence of difficulty. It is the presence of resources — internal and relational — that allow you to meet difficulty with grace."
What the Science Shows
Stress isn't just mental —
it reshapes your body
The evidence is clear and urgent: unmanaged chronic stress in women is directly linked to increased risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease, autoimmune conditions, and accelerated aging. The good news? Targeted stress skills genuinely protect your health.
