Hi,
I'm Gisa!

Making Health Solutions Accessible Globally

Here are some things you might know me for:

  • Conceptualized, designed, and implemented programs like WellAtSea (Founded in Denmark, 2016), geared towards protecting the mental and physical health of seafarers globally (now reaching more than 19,000 seafarers, 40+ different nationalities in 2022). The program has won 3 industry awards.

  • Partnering up with groups like Vanguard Assessments to make a FREE Mental Health Survey tool available online

  • Speaking in various conferences around the world (Africa, Asia, Europe)

  • Detox Day - community healing events that introduced a 5-point ear protocol called Acudetox to a wider audience, to help treat insomnia, depression, anxiety, and stress.

  • Founded Healing Minds PH - social media channels on facebook and instagram that have moved the conversation on mental health since 2016. The website contained mental health resources which have now been moved to BreakYourStigma.com

  • Creating online resources like a directory of mental health practitioners in the Philippines (now available on Break Your Stigma)

I exist to be able to open up the conversation, transform the way society thinks about mental heath and well-being, and contribute to building communities where there is a feeling of belongingness, safety, and support.
