Imagine feeling happy and relaxed!
There is so much noise about trauma these days; so much talk about what it is and how trauma can affect your life. What people are not talking about is how to get your nervous system to respond appropriately so you no longer have to live in the fight, flight, freeze or fawn response. They are NOT talking about how to release trauma!!
Buckle up! I have a lot to tell you. First, I never realized how incredibly much trauma I had experienced and carried with me in my life.
I lost my gorgeous 100 year old farmhouse in the ‘08 crash.
My mother and my ex-husband from Spain--we named him, No Way Jose-- teamed up to try to get my kids removed from me as I was supposedly on my 'death-bed.'
My ex-husband stole my dog.
My body totally screwed up over 25 years ago. Looong story!
Denial/suppression of feelings and gifts - feeling constantly unseen, unheard, unknown, like I never belonged or fit in
I passed out while driving due to heat stroke. I was found unresponsive with 107 degree fever. I'm lucky I'm here!
I stumbled upon Gentle Trauma Release©. It’s easy, quick, and not unending like talk therapy. GTR© is a somatic protocol that allows a specific branch of the vagus nerve to fully kick in, thereby releasing the trauma and restoring the sense of safety we need to live ease-filled lives.
I’ve never felt more confident, capable, courageous! Now, I can move forward to put pieces in place to see my dreams, visions, and plans come TRUE. I have a lot of pieces because I waited for a loooong time.
I couldn’t move forward. I was stuck, frozen, and immobilized. Sometimes, trauma has that effect.
I completed a 2-year training program to earn my GTR© certification.
I have worked with many clients and I have watched trauma disappear from their bodies. I have taken on very difficult cases, one in which a client was brutalized. I'll spare you the details except to say, at the beginning, they were barely functional. At the end of our first session, they were laughing and smiling. I was beyond thrilled.
My life has changed dramatically, for the better.
Go to my About page to read testimonials. They blew me away!

GinaMaria Opalescent
Multi-passionate. I only do things I feel very strongly about.
I am on a mission to transmute a disconnected world, and its disempowering models into a life without trauma. This life includes connecting with your body's innate wisdom, using Gentle Trauma Release© (GTR).
People have often referred to me as a POWERHOUSE! Doctors said I wouldn't make it to the end of 2002! Guess they didn't know with whom they were dealing.
I have lived a very exciting life. Lots of life, lived very deeply. I'm a sponge for learning so I'm always doing something new, exploring and taking things deeper.
At a very young age I decided I was going to be a foreign exchange student. I was, twice! I went to Granada, Nicaragua, and to Madrid, Spain.
I stood on the edge of a volcano and watched the lava.
I gave always tried to follow my highly inquisitive mind and my heart.
I was given a terminal diagnosis and told I wouldn't make it to the end of 2002. We named that Dr, 'Doctor Doom and Gloom.'
I'm a story teller. I've had so many adventures and tell real life stories that have people gasping for air they are laughing so hard!
GTR© is the most powerful and life changing practices I "accidently" stumbled upon.
I completed a 2-year training program at the Gentle Trauma Release Institute to earn my GTR© certification.
I decided to studying GTR© because I began as a client. I carried many traumas with me for decades from things that occurred in my childhood and beyond.
When I find something that works, something accessible, and to me seemingly miraculous, you know I'm going to do what it takes to get it to as many people as I can!
Things are very different now! I feel like a huge weight has lifted which is allowing me to move forward with my dreams of helping others peel away their own layers of trauma.
Decades ago, people started to tell me I have a lot of wisdom. I say, "Knowledge + Experience = Wisdom."
I'm a certified Empowerment Coach from the SWAT Institute.
I also have a special, well trained and developed psychic gift and ability to get to the root, to the core of people's issues.
This gift often translates into helping define next steps, envision a game plan, group brainstorming, or simply whatever type of support people need in their lives to move them forward.
We work together to create a vision of how to get from where you are to where you want to go.
Absolutely not! The reason talk therapy only has limited results when it comes to long-lasting trauma resolution is this:
Trauma is not anchored in the way we think - many talk therapies aim to change the way we think about what happened to us (reframes, looking at things from a different perspective, changing limiting beliefs etc.).
But trauma is a bodily reaction to what we perceived as an extreme threat that we believed to be inescapable.
Trauma is a BODILY reaction to threat. It’s not in one’s head (i.e. thoughts alone) which is why it’s necessary to resolve and heal trauma through the body.
Ultimately, the body (not the thinking mind) needs to learn through movement and bodily experience that danger and threat are gone now, so it can return to its normal state.
Again, absolutely not. In every single one of the 30+ full 2 hour sessions I conducted in my practicum, clients experienced significant results, in every single session.
GTR is not magic but the results are profoundly magical!
We meet on Zoom. We talk for a bit about which specific traumatic issue or emotion we are going to work on.
We don't go into all of the details so you don't get re-triggered. The details are not required!
I guide you through all the gentle movements and motions you need to do. I do them right along with you. We work together.
We check in every so often (like 10-ish minutes) to see how you are doing and how you feel.
You get Self-care-work to do between sessions so you can begin the habit of caring for and honoring yourself and your body.
Typically you will get personalized 'Self-Care-work' to contribute to your well being practice.
We like to have sessions a week apart, if possible. This gives you time to integrate between sessions.
The best way to do this is to:
First, fill out the Trauma Release Assessment.
Save it to your computer using your last name, [Opalescent Trauma Release Assessment.pdf]
Email it back to me using Reply to any of my emails.
I will send you a booking link to schedule an Intro Zoom call.
Book your Intro call.
We can briefly discuss your trauma to get an idea about how many sessions we should book. This is also a chance to get to know each other a little bit.
NO. There are many aspects of trauma traditional Western medicine does not take into consideration yet. You may experience improvement in areas with symptoms that Drs. don't associate with trauma, yet.
I never realized how incredibly much trauma I had experienced in my life.
I lost my house in the ‘08 crash.
My mother and my ex-husband from Spain tried to get my kids removed from me.
My ex-husband stole my dog.
My body totally screwed up on me, very long story!
Any one of these experiences would have required years of therapy to overcome them.
I got very lucky! I learned that trauma impedes specific branches of the nervous system from responding properly. It is as if the system needs a reboot to allow the trauma to release!
There is a specific protocol for releasing it! I've repeatedly watched it melt off clients during sessions. Not years or even months of sessions. In every session.
Many talk about trauma, but very few know how to release it.
Take this simple Trauma Release Assessment to find out if what you are experiencing are symptoms of trauma.
Here are testimonials people have offered talking about me and this work.
I very intentionally use nicknames for clients for confidentiality! You and your stories are safe with me.
There are practitioners who know a method, and there are practitioners who embody it.
GinaMaria is one of those rare people whose strength is quite contagious. Having overcome profound challenges in her own life, she brings into her work a compassionate fierceness and emotional steadiness that cannot be taught…they can only be lived and experienced in the presence of someone like her.
One of the qualities I admire most about GinaMaria is her unwavering dedication to the empowerment of others, especially women. She has a remarkable ability to see the strength in someone long before they can see it in themselves. GinaMaria doesn't just support women. She stands beside them, believes in them, and reminds them of who they truly are.
As a Certified Gentle Trauma Release® Practitioner, she combines the Gentle Trauma Release Method with warmth, inner strength, deep care, and an extraordinary capacity to make people feel safe, seen, and capable of healing.
I have every confidence in recommending her to anyone looking for a guide who will wholeheartedly champion their journey back to themselves.

"...Now, one last thing, like it or not, I'm going to tell you this because I know you care deeply about this process, and I’m very grateful you took me through the Gentle Trauma Release (GTR) process.
And call me out if I’m wrong about this, because I’m not seeking to be right about anything anymore, to be honest. The Brilliance that is you is far more profound, like the ability…I’m just spitballing here. Your ability to create a space for me to be open and honest, and share authentically from my heart, these things openly and vulnerably from my heart that I literally haven't shared with anybody else…
That’s your super-power, GinaMaria. That’s your super-power! This GTR technique, I’m sure has its place.
It's amazing that you can get yourself certified and use that process to assist other people, but the true medicine, the real true medicine is GinaMaria. The true medicine is you, not that technique or process that you use.
I don't mean to discount the GTR process at all. If it's meaningful to you, then there is a reason that it's meaningful to you, and I understand that, I get that, and there's likely power in it, and I understand that.
From my perspective and from my experience, the real power is you, it’s you! So fly high today, my dear friend. I almost want to cry, but I'm too happy to cry these days, so..
Lots of love to you. You’re AMAZING!"
This is a quote from the beginning of our second session.
NY to PA: “...This is the word... This has been my goal with regular therapy. Since 2020 I’ve had three therapists, no four, and my goal has been to be impervious to this shit. And now, I feel IMPERVIOUS to that statement. And I seriously just don’t give a shit."
ME: Looking up to the heavens, "OMG! I’m going to cry. I'm so excited and we did that in ONE session."
Later testimonial from NY to PA
"I had several GTR sessions with GinaMaria, and we were able to go deep in order to heal some belligerent woundings. I am so much lighter across all of my energy-body layers as a result. I recommend working with this accomplished and compassionate practitioner without question."
