Testimonials
As a Co-Active Life Coach, Gaia supported me through a major life transition. Gaia's kind and vivacious personality, empathetic support and practical guidance was an invaluable tool for helping me to navigate change and to design the life I envisioned for myself. I am grateful as I continue to benefit in so many ways from her services. I highly recommend her to anyone who is ready to more actively create the life they want.

I believe in cold water, especially in rivers and streams. I talk to it and it listens and talks back. I fall into it when I need to feel alive, or to pause time, or to cool down or even warm up. I look to it for guidance and leadership. In this way, Gaia is cold water. I believe in her. I talk to her and she listens and talks back. I fall to her when I need help to feel alive, or to understand, or to process and learn and feel and so much more. I look to her for guidance and leadership, and often find myself asking what would Gaia do, what would she tell me, what would she ask me in an attempt for me to guide myself. Gaia is like the best of teachers or leaders, who lead through love and dedication and a sincere and seemingly infinite desire to do good and inspire positive change. She is always there, always flowing with ideas, suggestions, and thoughts, like a river, and I am so grateful she has helped me learn how to swim.

Gaia really helped me refocus and discover what my values really are and how to apply them across different areas of my life. Before I started coaching, I found it difficult to keep up with practices that would help me maintain balance as a college student juggling school, work, and maintaining meaningful relationships. Coaching helped me to break down what I wanted to see more in my life and realistic ways I could get it. Gaia's focus on mindfulness, value-based practices, and reframing negative thoughts really helped me to bring simple practices that I can maintain in my everyday life that are really rooted in my own values. It can be overwhelming to figure out life all on our own and coaching really helps sort through all the distractions we face to find what is truly important and impactful in be the change we want to see in our lives.

Working with Gaia has truly been a pleasure. In the 6 months she’s been coaching me, I’ve been able to watch myself transform in ways I never imagined possible. I feel more confident in making decisions, taking decisive action, making sure to prioritize my own needs and honestly just feeling more comfortable in my own skin. She’s been incredibly supportive and dedicated in guiding me along this journey. I’m truly grateful for her and highly recommend her as a coach!

Gaia Toscano's coaching sessions helped me understand many attributes that are truly important to me in my business and personal life. The questions were fundamental and easy to understand and yet they brought up many meaningful (and very important) points to help me guide my everyday decision-making. She developed fun and engaging assignments for each week to help push me towards what I needed to work for. The whole process seemed effortless on my part but created wonderful results. I understood how to approach projects that are important to me and many of the qualities that I was pushing aside for 'later' came back to life.
I HIGHLY recommend working with Gaia!

Gaia was my life coach for six months - an experience I recommend to anyone! She has a lot of technique that she uses to help you realize your goals and really organize your thoughts. I have used therapy before but a life coach is a different experience & gives you different set of tools to help you navigate through life and tackle obstacles. Gaia is very personable, relatable, and easy to talk to. She makes you feel comfortable sharing your mind and vulnerabilities and helps you become the best you!

When I went to see Gaia, I was very overwhelmed with life changes & circumstances with home & business. Throughout our sessions, I have learned to look at the bigger picture, and see things from a ‘birds eye view’ and know there are an infinite number of outcomes for every situation: this was so important - to retaining a healthy perspective for day-to-day bumps in the road.
I have learned to take a step back. Take a breath. Know that nothing is forever, and will be ever changing.
Gaia’s session helped me staying consistent with my goals, and keeping a healthy balance & perspective.
I fully appreciate Gaia’s straightforward communication + honesty - it is everything.
Gaia made me feel whole, beautiful, strong, and more than anything confident that whatever I was doing, as long as my heart was in, would be successful.

Gaia has been an amazing coach and has really helped me learn to trust and open up about things in my life that I do not normally address or act upon. I was nervous about having a life coach and trusting someone with very private matters and emotions but it was very quick after we began that I felt comfortable and at ease with opening up to Gaia. She had methods and exercises for me to complete which opened up my eyes to ways of dealing with struggles, setbacks and challenges in my life. I began to look and react to problems differently due to the tools Gaia introduced me to which motivated me to try harder in other areas as well. These exercises also brought my strengths and weaknesses to light, which was very helpful so I knew what to utilize and what to work on. She was very consistent with checking in with me and giving me homework, which helped me meet my goals. Her positivity, understanding, and calm nature is what I appreciated the most during our sessions. I experienced a very open, honest and trusting space with Gaia, which created an environment for me to grow along with her help and guidance. I definitely believe Gaia brought out the best in me and helped me grow in many areas of my life by the support and respect I felt in our sessions. She challenged me and set timelines for certain areas I am trying to improve on which is something I would not have done on my own. Having an accountability partner was a huge help and definitely pushed me to make changes with my personal happiness, career, health and relationships. I have truly benefitted by having Gaia as my life coach and look forward to using the tools and methods she has introduced me to by applying them to my daily life.

In financial terms alone, Gaia’s coaching has paid for itself several times over. She helped me unearth the anxiety I had about my credit card debt and guided me in my own goal setting and plan to pay it off. At the rate I was paying it off, it would have taken me about three years to pay off that debt. Instead, I will be credit card debt free in less than one year.
But even more than financial gains, I was craving personal development in my life. I had been interested in coaching for a couple of years, having seen people that I respected seek it out and share some brave and inspired changes. I have known Gaia for over ten years. She is of incredibly trustworthy character, charming Italian warmth, and she is her own person in a way that invites you to be whoever you truly are. My six-month coaching journey with Gaia helped me to understand how much control I do have over the things that scare me, stress me, or even inspire me. During this six-month journey, I broke old unhealthy habits and set new vital patterns in place. Gaia, grazie mille! You are a special coach.

Thank you so much for offering such an amazing service these past six months.
You are an absolutely awesome coach and I deeply value the time, work and progress you have helped me with on my journey. Without your hard work and dedication I would not have this much courage or advanced this far on my goal.
Love your continual support. You Rock!
