About Dr. Gabby

 

Hi, I’m Dr. Gabby

Recognized as one of the Top 100 Women of the Future in 2022, I’ve spent over two decades mastering the art of transformative storytelling and helping individuals share their authentic voices. As a professor of Integrative Medicine and a bestselling author, my work blends expertise in holistic health with a deep understanding of how personal narratives can heal, inspire, and drive change.

I guide professionals, executives, and aspiring authors to craft stories that create lasting impact:

Professionals seeking to share their journey of transformation
Executives aiming to humanize their leadership stories and build team engagement
Entrepreneurs looking to turn their business journey into a compelling narrative that attracts clients
Individuals ready to transform trauma into empowerment through storytelling

As the former director of a luxury retreat center, I’m a master at creating transformative experiences that foster both personal and professional growth. My own healing journey led me to write All This Healing is Killing Me, a #1 Amazon bestseller, and my upcoming book, The Last Ceremony. I’ve been featured in media outlets such as MSNBC and Spirituality & Health, and I’m a sought-after speaker for stages like SXSW and Creative Mornings.

My mission is to empower others to reach their highest potential by owning and sharing their unique stories. Let’s transform your story into a superpower that creates deeper connections, amplifies your value, and fuels your success.
