In Person
“Gilly is a bit of an enigma: She is soft and gentle yet so very, very strong; She is talented yet so unassuming and humble. I saw Gilly both for energy work and for wellness workshops. I suffer from trauma due to childhood abuse and Gilly was able to help me release some of the trauma that I had stored in my body. Her gentle, pragmatic advice have helped me overcome much of my trauma and I am eternally grateful.” – Connie Bygrave, PhD
“i have been giving some thought on how to explain the experience i had doing sessions with Gilly and how it impacted my life. i did 1-2 weekly sessions in the beginning tapering to every three weeks later on for several years between the approximate ages of 48 to 57.
For the sake of simplifying things when i met Gilly I was living my life and had a good life, but i was so frozen and petrified by the things that had happened to me in my young life that i wasn’t seeing things clearly. I had like a 500 lb backpack full of emotional baggage that I could no longer carry and Gilly helped me unpack it. Slowly one piece at a time.I am now living a life full of love, honesty and joy, with a full range of emotions available to me. I can react to current situations with current emotions. I highly recommend sessions with Gilly. She has given me the tools to love my life.”

“Gilly’s sensitivity to delicate nuances in my body’s expression and my story have helped me make important discoveries about myself. Gilly is a gifted listener. Together we have tapped into pockets of grief, loss and sadness, embedded in my voice and body. I have gained a new perspective on myself; one that has helped me understand my past and given me insight into shaping my future.” -P.Z.
When I first met Gilly I was working standing up in my engineering office cubicle because I was experiencing hip pain/problems. I was stressed out and on high blood pressure medication, with my doctor telling me to quit my job. Gilly helped me personalize my work station and suggested I come see her for a few private sessions. Gilly has worked with me to develop body-mind awareness that has enabled me to make changes in my life for the better. It wasn’t long before I was sitting down at my work station, off the blood pressure medication, and even sleeping better. Gilly is creative and attentive, and can offer you new perspectives…..challenging you in ways that can’t help but inspire personal growth.”- P.E.
In Person + Phone Session
”Gilly is someone who has the wisdom, gentleness, and profound patience which is so very necessary in the process of healing. Since seeing her and in discussion with her for years I can attest to WOW moments each time, moving deeper into myself and growing stronger. Her practice is something that my friends, family and client referrals are so thankful for. Each individual has full hearted thanked me for having introducing them to Gilly.

Phone Session
“A friend connected me with Gilly in 2012 as I was dealing with severe, chronic back pain while living in San Francisco. After the first phone session, I knew Gilly was something special and I started doing regular phone sessions with her.Since then, she has guided me through the debilitating back injury, major career changes, a cross-country move and the death of my father. She not only helped me through some of the toughest moments of my life, but she also taught me the skills and tools to be able to help myself.
We have only met face-to-face once when I was visiting Vancouver (2 years after our initial session), yet I feel lucky to have found someone who I can trust. Her energy, wisdom, intuition, and kindness have followed me across as many life transitions as time zones.”
”Gilly is a master at what she does with deep empathy and caring.”- Cameron Roy
Online
” I took an online challenge that was offered by Gilly on her website and through Facebook. Gilly offers challenges for self improvement and environmental awareness, challenging herself and others to not just be static, but to be aware and do something to effect change. She also takes time to pause and celebrate the successes along the way. She is present and authentic, a great resource if you’re feeling “stuck”.- Sandi Mustard
Workshops
“I have had an opportunity to participate in workshops and webinars, and experience individual sessions with Gilly. Gilly is enthusiastic and innovative. In her holistic approach, Gilly provides an environment of safety, yet the freedom to explore learnings and personal healing issues.” – Joan Small
Podcast
“I love Gilly’s podcasts! I first started to listen to them because their length was a real appeal to me: I could justify sitting and listening to something for ten minutes from start to finish, and feel like I accomplished something while not needing to shift other parts of my day to accommodate it. And they’re so valuable that I keep coming back! You can hear the smile in her voice, and she’s truly a great teacher: in such a short amount of time you will feel like you’re walking away with something transforming and yet beautiful in its simplicity, and that you can apply to your life straight away. The short meditation is also incredible ! I love the huge impact that just three minutes have on my mood. I highly encourage you to listen to it, and do so often!” – Noémie Lee Johnson
