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."
