From a young age, Gabriela was an overachiever, immersed in a world of classical music, opera, and various extracurricular activities such as ballet, piano, and foreign languages. Her childhood in Romania was marked by a love for learning, studying English and French from the second grade, and participating in karate and track. However, her life took a dramatic turn when she lost her father in her early teens and a couple of years later she moved to the United States. In college, Gabriela spiraled into a self-destructive path, becoming a functioning rageaholic, drinking and smoking herself into a state of hopelessness. This led to a toxic relationship that shattered her, where she and her family were threatened daily and ultimately became a sex slave.

Reaching rock bottom was a pivotal moment for Gabriela. Having reached her breaking point, she found the strength to leave the toxic relationship and began her journey of healing through Reiki. This transformative practice saved her life, enabling her to reclaim her power, learn to love herself, and rebuild her life. Over the past decade, Gabriela has dedicated herself to learning about the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies. Starting with the mechanics of the physical body and progressing to the spiritual, emotional, and mental aspects, she has become an avid learner and leader in holistic healing. Her well-rounded approach supports all four bodies for empowered transformation.
