My Story

My name is Gigi Crestani.
I am a somatic healing coach.
​
I didn’t come to this work because it sounded interesting. I came to it because my body left me no choice.
I’m neurodivergent, and I live with a history of complex trauma.
For a long time, my nervous system was in constant survival mode.
​
At first, everything looked fine on the outside.
I was functioning. Working. Pushing through.
But inside, I was exhausted, disconnected,
and running on pure willpower.
​
Until I wasn’t anymore.
​
My body eventually went into complete collapse —
physically, emotionally, and energetically.
Every system that had been compensating finally shut down.
​
I didn’t “bounce back.”
I didn’t mindset my way through it.
I had to learn — slowly and honestly — how to come back into my body.
How to regulate instead of override.
How to rebuild safety from the inside out.
What began as survival became my path.
Becoming a coach meant turning pain into power — not by bypassing it,
but by understanding it and learning how to work with the body instead of against it.
Today, I’ve supported hundreds of women in doing the same:
coming out of survival mode, reconnecting with their bodies,
and building lives that don’t constantly cost them their health.

Love,
Gigi
