We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Gina Marie Leingang a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Gina Marie, we’re thrilled to have you on our platform and we think there is so much folks can learn from you and your story. Something that matters deeply to us is living a life and leading a career filled with purpose and so let’s start by chatting about how you found your purpose.
Someone once told me when we are trying to discover what we are “supposed” to do in this world, to look at what we wanted to be as a child. What did we want to be when we “grew up”.
As the oldest of 4 children, I always wanted to be the caregiver, the person that helped others. I switched between wanting to be a teacher, to be a doctor, to be a nurse when I grew up. I knew that I wanted to help others. Fast forward to high school I took a nursing assistant class and became a Certified Nursing Assistant as I graduated high school and began college as a nursing major. Weeks into my freshman year of college I quickly learned that it was going to be a challenge to get through the math and science classes that I needed to be a nurse, that semester I changed my major to hospitality.
I have loved the hospitality industry; it has given me the opportunity to travel, and to help others, from early in my career, helping to provide a positive experience in somebody’s travels to the later part of my career where I was able to mentor and guide my team, helping them reach and exceed their career goals.
Even though I loved the hospitality industry, I could feel something was still missing. On my 39th birthday, August 2019 I made a list of 40 things I wanted to accomplish before I was 40. What I did not know back then was this list began my journey to help me discover what my purpose was.
This journey brought me back to reflecting on my childhood, what I wanted to be when I grew up. What I have learned 20 plus years later was that healers can take so many different forms. Yes, healers are our doctors and nurses, but healers are also needed in other modalities, such as energy. By me discovering this piece of me, has led me on this journey to find my purpose which is helping others through intuitive energy healing, discovering your core energy through human design and being an inspirational & motivational coach.
Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?
I am an intuitive energy healer, human design reader and inspirational motivational coach. I am an Arizona native, raised in the small mountain town of Flagstaff, Arizona, currently living in the desert of Phoenix, Arizona. I am a wife, a mom, I have worked for the last 20+ years climbing the corporate ladder. This year I have made the biggest, scariest, most empowering decision of my life and I have left my 6-figure role in the hospitality industry to follow my heart and my purpose of helping bring energy tools mainstream.
One of the things I love about energy healing, is energy is all around us. we are energy. When we begin to understand our own energy, we can identify areas in our lives that stagnant energy is creating blocks. Thats where an energy session comes in, we identify the block that we want to work on and begin releasing the energy that is no longer needed. I have worked with artists that are working through a creative block, a business owner struggling with a low in sales, a mom that was run down from life, a toddler that was having night terrors. All of these situations we identified a block that was manifesting in their life, dug into the root cause and began releasing energy that was contributing to that block.
It is my mission to incorporate energy-based well-being into your day-to-day life—helping others unlock the magic that is within them. It completely lights me up to work with others through human design and energy healing to learn about the essence of who you are, who you are meant to be. To help clear the blocks that have manifested in your life, so you can continue the path that you are creating.
There are several ways to work with me:
– Human Design: I have personalized sessions where we dive into the unique magic that you were born with, what makes you, YOU! These sessions can be expanded for groups, families, corporations that want to learn their energy and how their energy intertwines with others.
– Energy Healing: In this session we chat about a block, feeling etc. that is currently manifesting in your life. We then follow the path of the block to clear negative emotions and limiting beliefs that are creating that feeling of heaviness, then release them as they are not serving your highest good!
-Chakra Clearing & Balancing: This session we open and clear out the 7 chakras of your energy, release energy that is no longer needed and balance your energy to help you feel balanced in your everyday life.
– Intuitive Guidance Sessions: These sessions are customized to your specific path, your journey. My recommendation is coming to the session with a question (open ended questions are best) as we work through the path of the question, we consult the oracle card decks for messages from the universe, your spirit guides and angels.
– Oracle Cards Guidance: I have 2023 Themes; monthly, weekly & birthday card pulls uniquely for YOU. In this purchase I will intuitively pull a card for you, you will receive the cards message, journal prompts and affirmations supporting the message!
– 1:1 Personalized Program: Unlock YOUR Magic! I am SO excited to be debuting my 8-week program where we journey along your path as we intertwine your human design with energy healing modalities. Through this program you will learn how to best use the magic you were born with, as well as releasing energy that is no longer needed such as limiting beliefs, trapped emotions, generational & ancestral baggage, past lives & more!
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
Trust. That knowing that when you are aligned with your highest self, that you are following your intuition, you are meant to shine with the gifts specifically for you. When you have trust that everything is going to work out, it does. I know that sounds funny, locating the trust within myself has help me so much. A mantra that has helped me so much, “If it out of my control, then it is out of my mind.” if something is out of your control, do not waste your precious energy on stressing about it!
Follow your intuition. We all have intuition, that little voice inside ourselves, the feeling in our stomach. It guides us, it helps us know what direction to go. The more we lean into this, the more we are able to move towards our goals.
Go after what lights you up. Your journey is for YOU, we all have unique gifts to share with this world. When we do what truly makes us happy, we are helping others do the same.
I think my best piece of advice is, do not hold on to the HOW. How you are going to get from point A to point B. How you are going to accomplish something. How you are going to achieve your goals. The biggest lesson is when you release the HOW and just focus on what you desire, your world will open up in ways you never thought possible. Looking back on my life so far, I could never of planned the way I got to where I am today. We always want to go on the path of least resistance, 99% of the time the way we get from the beginning to the end is a way we could never imagine. Trust that when you are aligned with your highest self, anything is possible, and you will transform your dreams and make them your reality.
Lastly, enjoy the ride, yes, we need goals but enjoy the present moment, because this moment, is creating the next moment and so forth. Each of these little moments create our future.
What’s been one of your main areas of growth this year?
For me I think it was finding the confidence to follow my dreams and trusting that not only will everything work out, but they will be more than I could have ever imagined.
I had this limiting belief that was stuck in my energy. This belief was that someone else had to pay my paycheck. I have always been able to accomplish whatever I set my mind to. I was a small-town girl with big dreams. Looking back, I started as a front desk clerk at the local Best Western in Flagstaff, Arizona. I climbed the corporate ladder and became a Vice President of Sales for the largest hotel management company in the world. My younger self would be so proud of what I accomplished. I knew that it was time for a change, but I had this belief that I knew was not true that I needed to release, that I would be successful as my own boss, that I would be able to support my family by following my dreams and becoming an intuitive healer. I need my children to see that you can be successful doing what you love and being able to support your family. By overcoming this, I have been able to successfully transition to this next chapter. This is only the beginning, and I cannot wait to see the magic that lies ahead. As one of my favorite songs say, The Rest is Still Unwritten– Natasha Bedingfield
