Meet GinaEducator, Author & Mom
Guided by Experience, Grounded in Kindness Hello! I’m Gina. I founded Balance and Light Wellness with a simple mission: to create a sanctuary where every child feels brave, and every parent feels supported. As an educator, author, and mom, I founded Balance and Light to help my children find their creativity, bring their authentic selves, share their gifts, and navigate emotions with courage and kindness.
Whether I am guiding individuals through deep rest or empowering youth, my goal is to provide the tools you need to be kind to yourself—mind, body, and soul.

With over 25 years of experience as a Child and Youth Practitioner and Educator, I have dedicated my career to supporting children, youth, young adults and their families. I understand the unique challenges that come with raising children who need a little extra TLC.
My approach is unique because it blends the structure of education with mindfulness. My background in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) ensures your child doesn't just learn skills, but builds the confidence to use them, helping their 'Tomorrow-Self' thrive.
I believe that true wellness goes beyond integrated health; it takes courage to treat the whole person, mind, body, spirit, and lifestyle, not just a disease. As a Reiki Master and Yoga Nidra practitioner, I integrate intuitive healing into my work, offering a safe space to find balance.
Whether we are learning by bringing education to people or by learning to breathe through anxiety, every tool is rooted in kindness. Let's find your calm together.
A Note from Gina
Note from 'Be Brave Gratitude Journal Adult/Parental guide": To the parent that is struggling, remember you are doing the best you can! No matter how hard things are, I want this space to be a reminder to take care of you, too. Truth be told, gratitude practices and journaling have been the one practice that supported my own well-being journey. I hope these tools bring you the same balance and light. Remember; You are enough.

ILLUSTRATORNicoletta has loved painting and drawing her entire life. As an autistic person diagnosed later in life, art provided her with an essential outlet to express her feelings and thoughts when verbalizing them was difficult. She hopes readers enjoy the characters as much as she enjoyed creating them, helping young people like her feel less alone.
