“I started attending classes and one-on-one sessions with Gina in February 2022. As a Grieving Mother of 15 years, I was a very broken women, and scared for my well being going forward. Gina helped me see things my Grandmother use to do for others. She helped me open my heart, mind and soul to a better life. I over came crippling anxiety, I was able to obtain peace of mind for the first time in many long years.
She is definitely my Shero. I recommend her highly, everywhere I go. Gina brings people together in community which is a powerful experience in itself. Her Flower Essence was extremely useful in my Healing Journey along with all the wonderful experiences I had in long and short term settings, indoors and outdoors. She takes her business seriously and she’s an absolute professional. She teaches you to heal yourself from trauma, stress, illness and so on. She is a beautiful soul to be around. I visit as often as possible now.
I have just started my very own Support Group for Grieving Mama’s. I have Gina to thank for the amazing start in my HEALING Journey and for the continued support she offers. Her added bonus is her Angel like voice. One guided meditation and you will adore her.
Stop chasing drugs and pills from doctors. Go see Gina, be true to yourself. Start really healing.”

That means that even if you don’t know what you need, she’s got you covered - she can easily pick up on your energy and know what type of plant can help you get rebalanced and feeling fabulous!”

In short, her energy is addictive!! I send her so much love and admiration.”

“I had been on a medicine to reduce stomach acid that I knew was not a good long term solution, so I went to for a consult. Gina guided me through some dietary changes and I started on herbal medicine. In just two weeks I was off that big pharma medicine for good. Every day, I simply drink some herbal tea and I feel great.
After seeing the miracle of herbs first hand, I enrolled in The Herbalist WITHIN. Gina is a great teacher, extremely knowledgeable & passionate about her work. We are fortunate to have someone so talented practicing in our community. If you are looking for a natural alternative, meet with Gina to find out how herbs and flower essences can benefit you.”

“Gina’s is a gifted practitioner, with exceptional knowledge, of plants and their ability to heal. She is professional and thorough and looks at all aspects of wellness. She treats each client with a caring and personal touch. Recently I fractured my kneecap and wrist. Gina suggested a regimen of herbs and tea that I followed. I know it accelerated my healing by several weeks.”
— Cheryl Ichel
“I worked with Gina for a little over a year. What drew me to her was her extraordinary knowledge, enthusiasm, positive attitude and most of all her smile.
We worked on several levels: medical, spiritual, and emotional. From from the first visit, she understood all the issues I was dealing with. She suggested several herbal remedies and we began to work with the flower essences. I loved working with them and felt they were an integral part of our journey together. I would highly recommend Gina to anyone hoping to open themselves to growth on many levels.”
— Carole Pickney, Retired Social Worker
“Gina is a gifted and knowledgeable herbalist. I have met with her 3 separate occasions, each one for a different issue. She knows exactly what herbs and flower essence to offer in every situation. Within, literally, 5 minutes of taking my first flower essence, an amazing feeling of calm came over me and so much less stress. She also helped with emotional and physical pain. I highly recommend her!”
— Wanda Bresette, Salt Spa Owner
“When I was told that I had Stage 4 metastatic cancer the floor fell out from under me. I immediately had prostate surgery and was told that the outcome will take aggressive treatment of radiation and chemo. I started with hormone shots to lower the spread of cancer.
Then with the help of my wife and daughter we started on a different path of natural herbs and supplements from Zen Medicine in Stuart. After about 7 months we started to notice a slight improvement with the PSA levels but was still not out of the woods. Through Zen Medicine and Nurse Practitioner Casey Thompson I was referred to Gina.
Gina started an aggressive protocol that included supplements specific for my cancer such as turkey tail and reishi mushrooms, and many others. I also started a better diet to reduce the amount of preservatives and sugar. In addition, I also started using flower essences and practicing meditation with all seven chakras, primarily the heart chakra.
One year passed and we discovered my PSA levels had dropped and now about one and half years later my cancer has almost disappeared.
I would not be the person I am today if I took a different path. For me, I thank God and all the prayers sent my way. My family with the incredible support with days of worry and tears we never gave up! So many thanks to Zen Medicine and Gina for their understanding and expertise! A special prayer to Gina for her continuing care.
Miracles do happen my prayers go out to all of you! Thank you so much.”
— Jim, Sound Engineer
“I had been looking for an alternate way to get some help with some life long issues. Gina’s knowledge of different herbs and the combinations of them have been very beneficial. She always explains what each herb will help with and tweaks it as we go. With the herbs and essences, I can honestly say it has made a world of difference. I am grateful to be able to continue to work with her.”
— Sarah Groak, Barista

“I just wanted to thank you again for an amazing session. I am feeling so good and I can’t wait to see what the next session brings. Also I am looking forward to The Herbalist WITHIN program to learn more about herbs and share with my kids.”
