This Work is Transformative

The SMGI® course is elegantly simple, yet profoundly powerful. You will experience the impact of the work as it works on you - and ultimately on your clients. Gina Vance will guide you step-by-step, showing you how to move through carefully-designed healing protocols with ease. These guided journeys will help you take your clients into deep places of insight, healing and transformation.

Business

Richly Rewarding

The SMGI® course is designed to help healers of all kinds experience the growth they so well deserve. While you’re learning her healing techniques, Gina will enhance your potential for success by putting you on her own marketing roadmap. Once you’re creating phenomenal results for your clients, they come back to see you. They’re delighted, happy. They send friends and family to you. And before you know it, your schedule is filled to overflowing. That’s how SMGI® works! 

Healing

Easily Learned 

The training program itself combines live sessions with extensive video and written instruction. As Gina’s methods become clear, you’ll begin practicing with your classmates. The course work will move you along almost effortlessly, from basic to very advanced techniques drawn from meditation, guided imagery, hypnotherapy, breath work, writing, drawing, coaching and indigenous healing modalities. Gina has a deft  touch, holding the work lightly and making it easy to grasp. 

Growth

Deeply Insightful 

The deepest learning happens as you experience the techniques working on you. The course includes trades - or practice sessions - in which you guide each other in response to somatic cues. You’ll be taking and leading journeys through the imagination, finding the guidance that is there to be discovered in the deep psyche. And the work hardly feels like work. It’s easy, often fun, always enlivening. Healing arises from deep levels of connection, sharing and support in a safe community.

"SMGI®, or Somatic Mindful Guided Imagery®, is a process that produces profound effects. This course teaches one to be a guide and it is rich with information and the Zoom classes are very engaging. Not only did I learn to be a confident guide, but also got so much more out of it. I highly recommend the class."

Kirsten Kuhlmann
Inner Journey Guide

"After working through my personal trauma healing with Gina Vance, what a gift I have been given in learning how to serve others who seek a unique and effective path to healing. Thank you Gina for sharing this amazing program with us and for training us to Guide others the way you have Guided us."

Nica Shaw
SMGI® Guide

"When I signed up for the SMGI® training course I thought it would be like any other class. I was wrong. There was no wasted time or lessons in this course, yet it was gentle and life-paced learning. The most beneficial part to me was the hands on practice. I loved it. By the second month of the course people were noticing a happy, more confident change in me. Indeed, as I was learning to help others I was getting helped myself. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to make a difference in other's lives."

Amy A. Soto
SMGI® Guide

"I’ve done so many modalities to release trauma locked in my body. SMGI® has changed the trajectory of my life and career. In my work with SMGI® there have been so many gifts and pleasures of connection and greater intimacy of knowing who you are on a soul level, and what’s possible for you.   For those who want a new way to heal and experience more ease, joy and expansiveness, I highly recommend the SMGI® training"

Michelle McKayla
SMGI® Guide

"This course is filled with a treasure trove of insight, information and clear guidelines. The methods and techniques are conveyed easily and concisely."

Jean-Pierre Weingarten
SMGI® Guide, Wellness Intuitive

"I have spent years studying healing modalities like Past Life Regression, hypnosis and shamanic practices. I believe that SMGI® is the best modality for its effectiveness in getting to the heart of the matter in a quicker and more efficient manner. I would recommend SMGI® sessions to anyone wanting to improve themselves. It is especially transformational for someone who has experienced any form of trauma. Also for anyone who is a healer, the SMGI® course is a must."

Mark McAdams
SMGI® Guide

"Gina Vance is a brilliant teacher of her brilliant program of SMGI®. Much like her theory of how simple journey work can be, so is the organization of the program. Each week flowed, combining a group meeting, a video lecture, along with a practicum and various suggested readings. A cohesive and comprehensive program for all types of learners and healers. I highly recommend finding out more about SMGI®."

Elizabeth Darnell Traub
SMGI® practitioner, MA Somatic Psychology and Master Yoga Instructor

"This work has released my creativity and imagination. I plunged into the SMGI work as a true beginner. Over the six months of training, I learned how to release and access my creativity – and playfulness – like never before. I also developed more trust in my own inner voice and sense of intuition. Truly a brave new world opened up for me through this work."

Leslie Lawton
Creative Director, Connected Communications Marketing

"This training has given me an amazing foundation to help shift my career into helping people subconsciously. I’ve been given and shown a tool that can better humanity. There’s a lot of somatic work available now, but this, this work is cutting-edge."

Mark Christian Bacigalupi
Somatic Imagery Guide, Licensed Massage Therapist, Certified Access Bars Facilitator, and Intuitive Healer

"What can I say about this class, except sign up for it the next time it's available! I'm so glad I did! This training is a wonderful opportunity for those who truly want to better their lives and the lives of others. I've known Gina Vance for several years and I still continue to be amazed by her. She is an extremely gifted mind, body, spirit guide/coach. She has developed this comprehensive course which is perfectly suited for both experienced healers and practitioners, as well as for those from other walks of life. If you have the desire to help others tap into their inner resources, so they can gently heal from past trauma and feel happier within themselves, then take this class!

You know those wide-awake wake-ups that can interrupt your sleep?  This is one great time to put the SMGI® work to work, bringing in an ally or comforting presence to help you resolve a ticklish situation or even to lay some past trauma to rest. 

Healing Others

Once you have your SMGI® certificate, you’ll be fully prepared to bring this work to your healing practice. You can weave it into almost any existing modality.  Of course the healing work you’re doing now is having positive effects. Otherwise you wouldn’t be doing it, right?  You’re a healer, after all.

Your practice can be as full as you'd like.The more of us out there offering this work, the better for each of us and the world.

The Results You Can Expect

MY CREDENTIALS

After a career in engineering, excruciating pain put me on a path of research and training that introduced me to the mind-body methods that helped me to heal the post-traumatic stress at the root of my physical pain.

I've trained with Medical Doctors, with Shamans, and many healers; some grounded in scientific research, others wildly instinctual.   

I'm a graduate of the Academy for Guided Imagery and the Center for Mind-Body Medicine, I'm a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, Inner Guidance Life Coach, and Mind-Body Skills Advanced Professional.

I created SMGI®, Somatic Mindful Guided Imagery®, out of all these protocols, practices, and modalities along with many of my own inspired discoveries. This work resolves root causes and resolves lifelong patterns through mind-body exploration, discovery and healing. 

I've been successfully self-employed for more than 30 years, and as the founder and director of a sumptuous holistic integrative wellness center, I brought my broad holistic and integrative therapeutic knowledge to my community, while supporting high-level wellness professionals in growing profitable businesses under my mentorship. 

Beyond Limits

Somatic Mindful Guided Imagery®

Harnessing the power of the subconscious and superconscious, with mind-body tools to relieve stress, pain and anxiety; change unwanted habits, and feel peaceful, confident and empowered.

Somatic engagement that gets you resourced enough to manage your discomfort while growing your strength and stability to be able to not only shift into comfort, but resolve the source origin of the somatic signals, or body-centered sensations. Ground, strengthen and stabilize.

Mindful practices that don’t by-pass what is, but meet you where you are with what’s happening in the moment, in a way that you can gently, respectfully shift your experience into stable strength and competence, until you can resolve the root cause origin of uncomfortable and destabilizing activations in your mind-body. Gently release blockages and toxicities.

Guided practices that connect you to your resources of strength, support and love, empowering courage to journey inwards to clear inner clutter sabotaging your goals, and integrate fragmented aspects of the psyche that have needed to split off, or be hidden away, in order to keep you (and those aspects) safe in threatening circumstances. Connect, radiate and harmonize.

Imagery protocols that activate the power of the individual imagination to elicit one's own internal, organic lexicon of images, symbols, sensations, awareness, and felt sense, that are most powerful and effective, in safe and appropriate ways for the individual journeyer. Calm trauma activations on the way to healing them.

 

SMGI® is a root-cause resolving method of mind-body exploration, discovery and healing that is eclectic, holistic, humanistic and non-dogmatic, incorporating skills from many related disciplines including hypnosis, Jungian psychology, psychosynthesis, collaborative coaching, meditation, neurobiochemistry, neurophysiology, shamanism and inner child and parts work.

It’s a uniquely transformative blend of trauma-informed mind-body methods to relieve stress, pain and anxiety, change unwanted habits, and empower freedom, ease, confidence and joy.
