Meet G.

I help creative, chronic, and curious humans reconnect to their bodies and purpose — without burning out.

For over fifteen years, I lived inside transformation industries — as a hair artist, brand designer, and creative educator.

Whether I was behind the chair or behind a screen, my work revolved around helping people feel like themselves again. I built brands, led stylists, and coached clients through reinvention — always pouring every ounce of energy into others.

But when autoimmune illness and chronic pain entered my story, I had to relearn what strength and creativity really meant for me. The grind that once made me successful started making me sick. Movement became medicine, design became therapy, and boundaries became survival.

That’s where Healing Without Depletion was born — out of the realization that healing and creating can’t exist in separate worlds.

Why I Coach:

I became a certified personal trainer and nutrition coach, specializing in adaptive and chronic-pain-informed movement.

I also built a thriving design business helping small businesses, artists, and advocates express their purpose through branding and storytelling.

Now, I bring both worlds together through G Tournai Coaching — an integrative practice that combines:

  • Movement coaching grounded in pacing, nervous-system awareness, and sustainable strength

  • Creative and brand coaching for purpose-driven entrepreneurs and artists who want their work to feel as authentic as it looks

  • Voice and advocacy work that helps others articulate their truth, build confidence, and honor their capacity

My goal isn’t to make you do more — it’s to help you do differently, so your work and your wellbeing finally align.
