Apparently, I have a PhD in taking care of everyone except myself. It only took me twenty years, four career changes, countless books, and one very stubborn sketchbook to realize that.
For over twenty years, my job—on paper—kept changing.
I planned international delegations and executive visits for the FBI. I managed workers' compensation cases for federal employees across seven states. I ran the private operations for an ultra-high-net-worth family across seven properties—calendars, payroll, HR, the works. I calmed a cabin full of strangers at 35,000 feet as a Delta flight attendant. Last thing I did during my breakthrough... I coordinated provider travel for federal health assessments.
On paper, none of those jobs seem related. In real life, they were all the same job!
I was the person who held everything together, quietly, discreetly, and behind the scenes...so everyone else's life could keep running smoothly.
Notice what isn't being said:
- Manage the crisis before it becomes a crisis.
- Stay composed.
- Make it look easy.
- Looking back, I realize I wasn't just managing logistics.
- I was reading people.
- Anticipating needs.
- Solving problems before they happened.
- Holding space long before I knew that was a thing.
Hi, I'm Gaby.
This isn't about fixing you. It's about finding you.
I actually started with a degree in International Relations and a minor in Women's Studies—which, looking back, tells you something. Even at twenty, some part of me was already fascinated by how people navigate relationships, expectations, identity, and the invisible stories we carry.
Turns out I spent twenty years helping everyone stay organized while my own nervous system was quietly filing complaints.
Somewhere along the way, I became exceptionally good at taking care of everyone else...and not nearly as good at taking care of myself. Then one afternoon I looked around my house and realized something. My artwork was everywhere!
- Hanging on my walls.
- Tucked inside sketchbooks.
- Folded into drawers.
I've been drawing, painting, dancing for as long as I can remember. Art was never a hobby I picked up later in life. It has always been part of me. But despite creating and expressing myself this way for years, I convinced myself it wasn't good enough to build something around. So I kept it close, private, and safe. Having as many artistic hobbies... as my curiosity always took me into that path.
I had spent years encouraging everyone else to take up space while keeping my own creativity hidden behind self-doubt.
That was the moment I realized something uncomfortable.
I wasn't just teaching attachment patterns.
I was living one.
That question led me down a rabbit hole of attachment theory, nervous system regulation, integrative health, mental health coaching, expressive arts, neuroplasticity, and just about every book I could get my hands on.
Eventually, I chose to study it all formally.
Today, I hold many credentials but I believe healing isn't just something we understand intellectually—it's something we experience.
When I finally connected the dots, everything made sense:
- Every career.
- Every lesson.
- Every relationship.
- Every challenge.
- Every sketchbook.
They were preparing me for this work.
That's how Get Well With Gaby was born.
A place where Neuroplasticity, Psychology, Attachment Theory, Functional Medicine, Mind-body wellness, Mental health, and all the creativity we can think about come together to help women reconnect with themselves in a way that feels authentic, compassionate, and real.
What I bring to the table
Twenty years of reading people.
FBI (Quantico Trained), I worked with many other Federal agencies, Intelligence and executive operations, healthcare coordination, and high-level organizational roles all taught me to always notice what isn't being said, recognize patterns, and remain calm under pressure.
Education that supports experience.
Because Im obsessed with learning!
I started with an International Relations and Women Studies Double Bachelor's, (my objective was to work for a 3 letter agency) I'm Certified Etiquette & International Protocol Consultant and Instructor, I'm a certified Image Consultant, all used while working with the government. Became a mom and stopped working for the government. Started a Master's in traditional Illustration that I did not finished because I felt lost and not good enough "go figure". Tried finding myself as a mom, it was a happy time, but chaotic. many things happened (go check the studio journal for more on this). That led me to a health path, and I became an Integrative Health Practitioner, an Attachment Theory Coach, a Certified Mental Health Coach, and I'm continuing my education in Art Therapy and Neuroscience and General Psychology —bringing together science, psychology, creativity, and whole-person wellness.
A lifelong relationship with creativity.
I'm not someone who discovered art because it became trendy. I'm an artist who finally gave herself permission to bring creativity into the work she was always meant to do.
A safe place to land.
Years of working with confidential information taught me the importance of trust, discretion, and creating spaces where people feel safe enough to be honest.
What I believe
I'm not interested in helping you become someone else.
I'm interested in helping you understand yourself more deeply, reconnect with what matters most, and continue evolving without losing touch with your true essence.
I believe your patterns make sense.
I believe your body has been trying to communicate with you.
I believe creativity isn't just something beautiful we make—it's one of the ways we reconnect with ourselves.
Most of all, I believe that every season of life invites us to discover another layer of who we are.
If You're Here... and actually read all the way thru,
you are part of my tribe
If you've spent so much time taking care of everyone else that you've lost touch with yourself...
Welcome.
You're in the right place.
Together, we'll untangle patterns.
We'll listen to what your body has been trying to tell you.
We'll make room for creativity again.
We'll laugh through some of the tears—because healing doesn't have to be miserable to be meaningful.
And together, we'll discover who you're becoming, one season, one conversation, and maybe one sketchbook at a time.
