#Introducemyself - Artist, healer & healthcare professional, mom, n...

Hi, my name is Gini, which is short for Virginia after the state. My father was born in the US; grew up in California and my mother was born in Canada, Oh Canada. I am a little bit of an enigma. While I don't quite fit in the A or B catagory I would best describe myself as a passion enthusiast, a healer an artist and a naturalist.

I am a healh care professional and animal refuge worker. I love to play and write music on one of my accoustic guitars (I have a collection); especially for my three month old son! I love to paint, the brighter the colours the better and spend time with my beloved family ... I LOVE to roam the great outdoors. I have a professional training in classical ballet, music and medicine. I was an arts school major in dance and intsrumental music who's gone on to become part of the healing world of Western modern day medicine with an Eastern twist. By Eastern, I mean holistic. Nix the drugs and an the extensive testing and bring on all the organic whole foods, clean water, herbs, yoga, meditation and Buddhist singing bowls. Nix the animal testing!! That's a huge concern of mine and I do not support products and companies that do. Yes I like the scent of patchoul, but I also love vanilla, oceans, rose and lavender! I have spent a lot of time enjoying the earth and all it's magnificent gaia and have spent a good time working in education and research, specilizing in the ecosystems of the Atlantic subtropical islands of Georgia, riding my bicycle, I adore biking! The purpose being to preserve life and rescue wild animals for a wild animal refuge :)

I also consider myself a survivor. No matter what life hands us, we need to be able to take what we've learned and begin a whole new chapter, we are the authors of our own stories so bewilder yourself with the beauty this world offers; write a good one. Here are my top 10 goals in life!!
