Gigi is offering limited edition, handmade products supporting resilience & nervous system regulation.
Hi Friend,
I’m Gigi. Welcome to my little corner of the internet.
I’m heartbroken to share that my family and I lost our home - the blue house with the blue door - and all our belongings, in the Palisades Fire.
We are not alone in this devastating loss, as most of our neighbors, and many of our friends, are in the same surreal situation.
We are so grateful for everyone’s kindness and support during this incredibly difficult time.
It reminds us that love is fireproof and resilience is cultivated through challenges.
When we evacuated from the Palisades Fire, the kitchen of our AirBnB was bright yellow with a bouquet of lemons in the center of the breakfast table.
We used this as an opportunity to teach our kids about the old idiom, “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.”
We decided against a GoFundMe campaign but our cousin offered to host a yard sale with the benefits helping rebuild the twins’ lost piggy banks.
It was such a creative (and generous) idea that we were inspired to get the twins involved by having them make crafts to sell - and of course- we also sold lemonade.
The fire was a horrible experience, but we wanted to teach the kids about resilience and resourcefulness in the face of adversity.
I’ve always approached life with curiosity, imagination and playfulness - why stop now!?
In these past few months post-fire, we have continued to use our hands as a way to creatively heal our grief, and as a result, I am giddy to share handmade products that represent resilience and support a regulated nervous system.
Thanks for being here.
Love,

Essential Oil Rollers
Regulate Your Nervous System
The oil from plants have been used for centuries as medicine for multiple ailments. Recently, essential oils have been studied and approved as safe, homeopathic remedies which I have enjoyed as a yoga teacher, birth doula, and parent.
We have three rollers: Lemon, Eucalyptus and Lavender which have been tested and proven to have many benefits, including:
Boost mood
Reduce stress & anxiety
Enhance concentration
Help with nausea
Promote restful sleep
Keychains
A Daily Reminder of Resilience
Thess keychains are designed to make you smile. They can be used on your house keys or a backpack zipper to remind you to make the best out of whatever life gives you.
“Making lemonade” is about maintaining a positive attitude. This little lemon encourages you to view challenges as opportunities for growth.
Each style of keychain was made by hand with intention.

What Mamas have said about their beautiful birth experiences with me…
“Gigi was a calming and joyful presence during the very long 20 hour process [of birth]… She helped me get through the hardest thing I will ever do in my life, and for that, I will be forever grateful.”
- Naomi
“My husband and I agree that Gigi was the perfect birth partner. She was 100% present and offered lots of comfort measures during my contractions. I was able to have an empowering natural birth experience thanks to Gigi’s unwavering support.”
