Geri is a boundaries life coach who helps first-generation womxn of color—especially therapists—break free from people-pleasing and build lives rooted in self-trust, rest, and ease. As a licensed NJ therapist and certified life coach, she blends mindset work, somatic tools, and her lived experience as a first-gen Latina to support her clients in setting boundaries without guilt and living more aligned with their values.

Through her 1:1 coaching program, group workshops, and signature Intuition Manifestation Masterclass, Geri creates spaces where healing and growth feel both possible and powerful.
