ABOUT ME

I am a trauma informed certified Somatic Practitioner, teacher, and guide bringing together spirituality, science, and somatic practices to redefine wellness and help you live more fully, freely, and fiercely.

Based in Southern California, I work with 1:1 clients in person and on zoom, and teach Somatic Dance weekly, live in studio at a healing collective, and live on zoom. My practice is rooted in science, spirituality, empathy and the exploration of true vulnerability.

I firmly believe that healing happens when you can be seen fully, compassionately, and without judgement. In my care, you will be met with a safe holding for anything that emerges and a pace that meets you at your capacity.

I grew up in poverty, surrounded by addiction, and heavily abused. This left me with a feeling that I was inherently broken and had to make myself small, even invisible in order to survive, that I was unworthy of love, and that self expression would result in punishment. Eventually, I wound up in a marriage that perpetuated these beliefs. When my mom committed suicide, I lost another pregnancy, and my divorce became a reality, all within 12 months, the fear and the darkness felt suffocating.

Finding somatics was what finally moved the needle in my healing journey, so much so that I dedicated my life to becoming certified in trauma informed somatic healing modalities, so I could bring these healing practices to the world in service to the greatest good of all.

Somatic dance, grounded spirituality, and the relational skills I teach offer a true restoration of and return to Self. I have lived it, and embody it daily in my way of life and in my being.

After a lifetime of pain, I am now thriving as a single mother and I have turned my pain into a gift of service. Above all, I want you to know that no matter how deep the pain is, healing is possible, and it starts in the body.

TESTIMONIALS

Victoria is extraordinary, she is a true healer. She has helped me move through shame, trauma and contributed to rewiring my nervous system with so much empathy. After a lot of emotional work, we are now moving to exploring pleasure in ways I didn’t know existed. So much to look forward to! My inner erotic goddess is awakened.
Her personality, calm and poise made me feel at ease the minute I met her. She provides a safe container rooted in vulnerability and mutual trust. Her method is holistic, mixing talk therapy and exercises focusing on the body. She is always tracking for what is happening within and moving at my pace, while challenging me when she feels that I’m ready for it. I’ve made more progress in six months than I have in 10 years of therapy, and I can’t wait to see what unfolds next.

It’s taken me a long time to write this, not because I lack positive things to say, but because my experience with Gina has been so profoundly life-changing. When I began working with Gina, I was unclear on my intentions and unsure how to set boundaries — I just knew that the trajectory of my life was changing and that I desperately needed a container of safety in which to figure shit out. Enter Gina Victoria.
From our very first session it was clear that I was in a judgement-free zone where I could explore what it meant to be the truest version of myself. Though parts of me have a hard time trusting others, the sense of emotional safety I feel with Gina allows me to deeply delve into the core of who I am, what I want, and how to get there. Gina freely shares her expansive and wonderful energy, allowing me to feel a sense of security and comfort that I’ve never before experienced.
Over time I’ve come to see the beauty and value in myself. I’m defining what it means to live on my own terms and for my highest good, and Gina has been instrumental in encouraging me to hone into all those wonderful things without bypassing the murky bits that also exist, because those are also part of me.
If you’re looking for someone to form a genuine human connection with, someone who will question you with direct, loving kindness, someone who is open to whatever ideas/thoughts/angst you bring to the session, then Gina Victoria is the person for you. Sometimes it’s hard to invest in ourselves, especially if we’re not certain we’re worth it. You are worth it. And working with Gina is an investment in yourself that will pay back exponentially. I’m still on my journey — best of luck on yours.

Gina Victoria has been a revelation. I didn’t know this kind of healing and growth was possible. She uses breath, touch, and movement to both heal the body and nurture the soul. She has an amazing capacity to be both compassionate and fierce. Speaking as a middle-aged man, I’m most grateful that she has allowed me to approach femininity feeling safe and appreciated, and she’s encouraged – insisted! – that I embrace my masculinity in ways that feel alive, fulfilling, and risky.
I can’t thank her enough for the way she continues to both accept me and to show me how much more I’m capable of – as a father, as a friend, and as a lover. Thanks to her, I’m living with renewed confidence and enjoying my social and my intimate interactions more than ever. Thank you, Gina Victoria, for changing my life.
