Gina Faubert has been dreaming of empowering girls with health and wellness since the age of 15. Gina grew up in a stressful environment, with a lot of instability, and a lack of healthy role models. Throughout her teens she dreamt of a place where her family could go to escape the stresses of everyday life, and immerse themselves in an environment of fitness, self care, and positivity.
Over the years, she discovered how physical movement helped to reduce anxiety, and build self confidence. She discovered the importance of eating well, and how it improved her mood, and focus. But most importantly she found mentors to help her grow mentally and emotionally to build a strong positive relationship with herself and with others.
As her career in health evolved over the years, she continued to find herself teaching children. In her early twenties, she was asked to work with national and olympic athletes. Almost all of them in their teens. Her classes, where always interlaced with the fundamentals of a healthy mind, and being true to yourself. It was during this time Gina recognized how our culture has forgotten to teach girls the fundamental skills of confidence, love, understanding, self care, and stress management.
At age 25 Gina opened Serenity Valley, a wellness retreat, where she began teaching and coaching mostly women and girls the fundamentals of pilates, yoga and fitness – through the vein of self care, self confidence and gratitude. Though clients requests, Radiant Girls programs began. Serenity Valley grew to include a full service health & wellness program, retreats and girls camps teaching these same skills.
Gina went on to study with some of the best coaches and therapists in the world to become a certified life coach, NLP Trainer, and Mental Emotional Release Therapist. She has studied with leaders like Tony Robbins, Cloe Madnes, Dr. Matt James, Deepak Chopra and Louise Hay. “It was important for me to know that the information and skills I was teaching kids was not only the most accurate and effective coaching, but would truly impact their life longterm.”
Today Gina coaches and teaches internationally, and is a best selling author of The Best Life. Her Radiant Girls programs are primarily held in Southern Ontario.
“As a child and young adult, I was blessed to have meet a number of fantastic coaches and mentors who supported me when I needed it most. I also was lucky to discover the mental-emotional benefits of exercise. So today, I create environments that fosters the same support I received, in hopes to empower young girls to find their own inner strength and become leaders in the world. Without the mentorship, skills, and confidence I received as a teen, my life would have been filled with constant stress, worry and fear. Kids desperately need to learn how to move their body, how to release stress, and know what empowerment feels like. More than ever, social media, school and our culture is void of these important skills. I believe girls who embrace these principles will be the leaders of tomorrow – and they will go on to inspire others!”
