Hi there! I’m Gisela, aka “Gigi.”

Being a wife and mother is an enormous privilege and the most fulfilling role for me. Becoming these, well, it's been quite a ride. I would love the opportunity to exchange our stories soon. I’m adventurous, spontaneous, and enjoy the feeling of being free when I'm in nature.

Highlights of my professional profile include a degree in Public Health from the University of Minnesota, in addition to being trained in Infant Mental Health. Along with Parent Coach Certification® from the Parent Coaching Institute, I am a Circle of Security Certified Facilitator, and hold a Family Development Credential from the University of Connecticut. I'm qualified, experienced, and driven. I have great hope and serving parents are my passion point!

With over six years of applied experience as a Family Support Provider/Parent Educator, I advocate and use a strength-based parenting approach. In this role, I support first-time parents by providing research-based child development information. My parent coaching approach is transformative and changes the direction for generations to come.

Parents focused on transformative parenting will discover one of the greatest gifts any child can receive from a parent—the best Dad, Mom, or parents in the world—perhaps not perfect, which I can't guarantee, but a better you.

Let’s make this happen!

What Parents Say After Coaching With Me

“Working with Gisela, PCI Certified Parent Coach®, helped me when my son was transitioning from a teenager to a young adult. With her guidance, she helped me to focus on my strengthens and set goals according to what I wanted in my and my son’s relationship. She helped me see my thoughts and ideas in a more positive and less stressful way. Gisela is empathic, insightful, and is an amazing support.”

“Gisela helped me on many levels with my son and myself. I had many concerns as a mother. Some of my concerns were education, behavior, emotional development, and physical development. She helped me work through my parenting challenges with my son by helping me see and focus on my strengths, my parenting style, and the importance of having a self-care routine. I am very grateful for Gisela’s support and guidance. The truth is that she is a great and motivating person who inspired me a lot to get ahead.”
