I met Gina at a Health & Wellness Centre in Windsor NSW.
Gina had 2 roles:
i) educating attendees on health and wellness, particularly long term weight loss and healthy living. Gina was so skilled at this, able to break down complex information and make it totally understandable and memorable. She is a great presenter - very professional and personable.
ii) She also trained me. She made sessions both effective and fun, which was quite the achievement!
Gina is very knowledgeable.
