Working with Gia was life-changing in quite a literal way. She helped me (re)connect with my identity, potential and best self. It's been an extraordinary journey that everyone should go through, and I'm so grateful to her for being the best of guides. I met Gia when I was yearning for something more: more rewarding, more exciting, more me. She was patient yet urging, supported me while driving me forward. She made our work together easy and challenging at the same time. While working with Gia, I've been exponentially more rewarded at work, have a refreshed sense of certainty about my decisions, and feel excited by everything that will come next. I recently wrote her: "It's interesting what my mind has chosen to draw out from our work, but the common denominator feels like empowerment, self-possession, whatever the word is for confidence+happiness/peace. It's not confidence, it's more like...poise. I feel on the verge of being intrepid, and gaining this self-possession was a precursor." Anyone looking to have a true connection to who they are, what they want and how to believe in yourself enough to get there should call Gia sooner than later. read more

Working with Gia was amazing. I feel truly transformed since working with her. In our first session we set goals and she pushed me beyond my comfort zone, helped me become self-aware of blocks to my own professional growth. I have grown more professionally, in the last six months, than I have in years. Her coaching style is encouraging, celebratory, honest and motivating. Throughout our sessions she gave me tools to be able to continue to coach myself as I move forward. I truly believe every professional needs to work with a coach at some point in their careers, and I can't recommend Gia enough! read more

I can't say enough about working with Gia to enhance my leadership and communication style! I am a leader in an academic medical center working with front line workers, executives, researchers, faculty, students and more. The needs for vision, range, clarity, calm and more are essential to my success. I enlisted Gia to help me get in touch with instincts and expand my emotional range to facilitate communication with my team. I also worked with her on enhance my executive presence and ability to advocate to upward management. To say my experience was a success would be an understatement! Gia helped me find my voice and improve my management down as well as up. She is reliable and always accessible. Perhaps most importantly she has the skill of knowing when tough love or celebration is needed. I highly recommend her to any current or aspiring leaders! read more

Working with Gia was transformative. With Gia's coaching, I found the courage and clarity to make big changes, stepping into a new company and position, and then getting promoted. While those are external markers of change, it was the lack of internal conviction and confidence that had held me back. With Gia's coaching, I found tactical tools to shift my mindset and navigate those parts of me. Her approach is warm and insightful, while also providing accountability and pushback when needed. I know my learnings from coaching with Gia will continue to empower me throughout my career! read more

She taught me a lot about self-motivation, accountability and time management. The skills I learned working with her continue to help me navigate my life, personally and professionally. I highly recommend hiring her! read more

Gia was everything i needed in a coach. She is very good at getting to the heart of whatever it is that makes you stuck. She is wonderfully supportive and is also not afraid to push when she sees an opportunity for growth. I went in thinking i needed one thing and came out on the other side with a much deeper understanding of the things that block me from being where i want to be professionally. Highly recommend her support. read more

Gia is an incredible coach. She quite literally changed my life in the 6 months we spent working together. She has the ability to help you envision the big picture, and then also get down to the granular detail of how to make that happen step by step. She also can remember the specific details of every conversation you have with her, which makes each session feel extremely productive and fruitful. I cannot recommend her enough for anyone who is even just contemplating the idea of using a coach. Gia is the best and I'm eternally grateful to her! read more

Working with Gia Storms is a dream! I started coaching with Gia at the beginning of this year and loved every minute of our time together. She truly has enabled me to follow my vision, connect with my purpose, and launch a business that I've been dreaming of building for years now. She's helped me build practices that allow for self aware reflection, personal growth, and more balance in my life (all things I truly wanted to cultivate when we started our coaching relationship!). Gia is a powerful, caring, and brilliant coach. I'd recommend Gia's 1:1 sessions, or group offerings, to anyone. She's got a contagious energy that brings joy, curiosity, and exploration to all that she does. read more

Gia is an unbelievable teacher who guides you thru reframing your limiting thoughts and beliefs. Her process enables you to recognize how your own behaviors and old stories are holding you back. She teaches you ways to take actionable steps to make the changes you want, and keeps you accountable for your choices. I feel like in a lot of ways she taught me a new language. read more

I have only the greatest things to say about Gia's life coaching. Her coaching toolbox is bursting with strategies, visualizations, role plays, and tricks for transformation and deepened awareness. We connected when I was going through big work transition. The conversations I had with Gia were critical to boosting my confidence and learning how to really ask for - not to mention better understand - what I really want. Yet it was the deeper spiritual places we went together that really shook stuff up and has had the longest lasting impacts. What I loved most about working with Gia is that she was consistently speaking my language. Her homework assignments and exercises helped both of us better understand my deeper truths and how to access them. Working with Gia was amongst the best gifts I've given myself this year, and I've recommended her and her strategies to many a friend and colleague. read more

I love working with Gia. I started life coaching with her over a year ago, at a time when I was transitioning out of therapy sessions and felt a desire for a new type of guidance. Through Gia's coaching I have learned to act directly on my desires, to listen to my intuition about works or does not work, and have made some huge steps toward realizing the life I envision for myself. I recently started a Master's Degree program; I don't know if I would be on this path without my number one cheerleader, Gia Storms. read more

I cannot recommend Gia highly enough. A little over a year ago, I was looking for direction and motivation to make a big shift career-wise. I'd also been through a painful divorce and wanted to pick up and restart my life in a new city. With insightful listening, gentle courage, and easy humor, Gia helped me to conceptualize the goals I was ready for, and make a plan to reach them. In three months of working with Gia, I elected to quit my job of 9 years, start my own business, and move to the "best" coast. She has since remained an invaluable source of wisdom and thoughtful guidance as I've continued to cultivate a deeper sense of self, and to align my now-vibrant business and my personal life more closely with my core values. Gia will see your potential, and with grace and laughter, help you realize it. This is an investment in you that you definitely want to make! read more

I cannot recommend Storms Coaching & Consulting enough. I originally started working with with Gia when I was looking to make a career transition. It was a difficult process after so many years of being comfortable in my job. Gia's process, guidance, and coaching allowed me to grow confidence in my abilities to take the leap into the new chapter of my life. She helped me imagine what a better, more fulfilling life could be, challenges and all. I have now enlisted her help to work with our staff to improve the internal workflow and communication among all employees. I will continue to work with Gia as my career develops and recommend her for person, company/organization looking to grow, improve, and thrive. read more

Working with Gia was transformative, and I don't use that word lightly. She helped me tremendously in reshaping some negative belief patterns, which allowed me to make major changes in my life. I was able to apply the structure that Gia offered, and with her support and consistency, I began to chip away at the areas of my life that weren't working. Gia encouraging me to share the messy parts of myself, and she created a safe space where I could make mistakes. I came to trust that she would support me without judgment. Her coaching style is honest and loving, even when she was saying things that are difficult to hear. Gia brings so much wisdom, humor and intelligence to the work. Every session I had was profound and meaningful. read more

I was introduced to Gia by a family member. I was a skeptic about coaching in the past but I decided to give it a try. I was in the middle of a career change but was completely unsure of how to approach it and wasn't even quite sure where I was going. However, only after 6 months, I feel so much more confident about my future. Basically all the goals I had when I first started with Gia started to come true. I am amazed at how much I came along. Thank you, Gia. :) read more

I feel so blessed to have met Gia and benefitted from her astute and invaluable council, not only for my career path, but for my life's overall balance. She helped me see what I had put in my own way, helped me traverse the delicate pathways of ego and false beliefs, and gave me tools to move forward and past my obstacles. I would suggest anyone who is ready for a big shift in their life, make the investment in themselves with Gia at the helm. read more

Gia is amazing! She has had a tremendous impact on my career and self esteem. I've worked with her a few times, first when I was unemployed trying to figure out what to do next. She was instrumental getting rid of my doubts and fear, embracing change and seeking out adventure. As a result I landed my dream job. I reached out to her again when I started my new role in senior leadership and she coached me through the first 90 days. A year later the outcome was again positive, I got a promotion, big raise and hit my stride. Her leadership style is transparent, dynamic, patient while provoking and insightful. She hears what her clients are saying, but also what they aren't able to articulate, and is able to tease out things about you that you might be afraid to give words to. She's bold and doesn't give up on her clients or let them give up on themselves. It's nice to have someone fighting for you. She's a rock star...Because working with her has led to career and personal successes I'm re-engaging with her again this summer! read more
