About Gabrielle Gerard
Breathwork/Bio-energy Facilitator & Creative Spiritual Life Coach
Yoga & Meditation Teacher
TESTIMONIAL:
I want to tell the entire world about
Gabrielle. If you are reading this and find yourself in a "troubled"
time, please keep reading what I experienced with Gabrielle.
I felt as if I had hit rock bottom in January 2006. For my entire life
I tried so hard to maintain the positive attitude I was told to have. I
never wanted anyone to see that I was hurting. In my life, I have had
one relationship failure after another. Finally, I felt all I had
been through was more than I could hide. I started crying and did not
stop for a week. Thankfully, my friend told me about Gabrielle.
When I first met Gabrielle, I was overwhelmed by my admiration for the
sense of calm and peace that she had. I remember thinking how much I
wanted to know what she knew, so I too could have the peace she
has. I met with her one time and instantly knew that not only did
she have an understanding of what I was experiencing but she could give
me the tools I lacked through her coaching program. I signed up
and began a program, that at the time, I had no idea the impact it
would have on my life. Right from the start, I noticed a
difference in myself. I was excited about the changes. For the
first time, I was not just telling someone my problems, I was getting a
clear understanding of how to deal with them. We quickly began
the Clear Talk sessions. I was nervous at first that I would not be
able to communicate as well as Gabrielle did, but she made me feel so
comfortable and allowed me to work through my thoughts and goals. She
was my coach! She let me do the work and continued to guide me on the
right path. I learned that "my universe" is wonderful ! I now
really feel in my soul, that it is wonderful. After all the work
we did with Clear Talk and Soul Coaching, Gabrielle began to share with
me her gift of Breathwork.
If you haven’t tried Breathwork, it is worth every dime to learn
how Breath, meditate and relax in a knowing that all is safe. I
learned so much about the flow of energy through your body. I learned
to recognize how I was absorbing so many others negative energy and the
affect it was having on my own soul. Not only did I learn to recognize
it, I learned not to accept it as my own. For me, that was a
wonderful gift. Gabrielle is such a blessing and I am excited that she
may touch more souls, and their lives may become as balanced and
fulfilled as mine is now. In just a short time, she taught me the
"Life and Love" skills that we all need to live peacefully in this
universe. I now feel that I have the aura of inner peace,
strength and love that I longed for when I met Gabrielle.
Forever I am grateful to the love and peace she was so gracious to share.

On A Personal Note
It is a passion for me to support others in seeking what they desire to
create in life and to discover what attitudes and beliefs are not in
alignment with that desire. It is a creative and exploratory process
that allows us to align ourselves with the soul’s purpose. I have
explored the concept of living from intention, and I know its
importance in supporting, shaping, and transforming consciousness. I
teach what I practice, and I realize that my life is a work in
progress. I continue to study, explore and share with other teachers
and truth-seeking beings. I am a student of life, continually striving
to obtain spiritual awareness through relationships and through my
intense personal desire for happiness, health, wellness, wellbeing,
freedom and joy.
In my yoga center, we are ALL
heart-fully dedicated to providing a warm and inviting environment for
students to discover consciousness through the body. We honor the union
of body, mind and spirit as a sanctuary to which we turn for peace and
equanimity and a deeper connection to the authentic Self.
