Taking time to slow down and appreciate the goodness in life and others. Moments to pause, reflect and savor, in connection with others.

Fika with Gina

My intention is to put clients’ unique physical, emotional, cultural, and logistical needs at the forefront of our time together.

I had the gift and privilege of spending much of 2022 by my ninety-three year old grandmother’s side during the last stages of her EOL journey. Grammy lived fully, and her legacy lives on in so many people and in so many ways. May we all embrace life and death with intention, mindfulness, joy, and peace.

Join me!

My business is two fold: I provide End of Life (EOL) guidance and assistance to clients and their loved ones and I facilitate yoga classes and retreats. I am here to guide you in your unique EOL situations and yoga aspirations. I lead private individual and group yoga classes and retreats by request and am an instructor at Mountain Pose Yoga Studio in NW Reno.
