Gina's bio in her own words:

About Me

I'm Gina Kunadian, and let me tell you about my incredible journey. I'm a passionate wife, a nurturing mother, a certified massage therapist, and the host of the captivating podcast show Shine Within. But my true calling lies in being an alcohol-free sobriety coach, dedicated to helping women overcome their alcohol dependency in a way that goes beyond the traditional 12-step programs. I firmly believe in empowering my clients to cultivate unshakeable confidence, gain clarity, and unleash their boundless energy, so they can step into their creative potential and live the lives of their dreams, completely free from the grip of alcohol.

Before stepping into the realm of entrepreneurship, I excelled as a weight loss consultant, guiding countless women towards achieving and maintaining their weight goals. My expertise grew even further during my remarkable 16-year journey as a Massage Technician at the prestigious Four Seasons Hotel in Silicon Valley. Working with high-profile guests in such a demanding environment taught me the art of providing unwavering support to clients navigating through highly-stressful situations.

Yet, what truly defines me is my personal triumph over alcoholism. My path to recovery was filled with ups and downs as I explored various treatment options, from inpatient and outpatient programs to counseling, AA meetings, and rehab. But it was through surrendering to my faith that I discovered the key to building a life of lasting sobriety.

My journey is one of resilience, transformation, and hope. I stand as a shining example that liberation from alcoholism is possible. I'm here to guide and support individuals, helping them break free from the chains of addiction, and embracing a future filled with extraordinary possibilities. Together, let's embark on a journey of self-discovery and create a life that shines with purpose and fulfillment.
