We were lucky to catch up with Gianna Mauceri recently and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, Gianna thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Was there a moment in your career that meaningfully altered your trajectory? If so, we’d love to hear the backstory.
I always knew I was meant to help people.
The defining moment for me that really set me on this path of healing and counseling for certain, was after I was involved in a car accident and near death experience that changed my life.
When I woke up from a coma with many severe injuries, unable to move my body, I truly felt that if I could make it through something this traumatic, that I would want to be a light for other people who have experienced anything like this.
This made me even more determined to heal myself, so that I could use my adversity to help others. I began to study extensively, gaining experience in the healing arts and now working through my degree in Transpersonal Counseling and Coaching.
That was my defining moment and what continues to drive me to help as many people as I can that need this kind of support.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers
I have been practicing and teaching mediation, yoga, sound healing and Reiki energy healing for about 10 years now. During this time, I have also been on my own healing journey, not only healing my physical body after experiencing extreme pain and injury, but doing the inner healing as well.
I realized during this process that the more I offered myself gentleness and kindness, and used these practices that were helping me, the more my body, mind and heart were healing, and this is why I am so passionate about what I do and how I help others through trauma.
That’s why I created my healing program ‘Spirit Warrior Training’ so that I could help as many people as possible with a structured step by step, safe healing journey that gives students time to process and move through the stages of healing, feeling fully supported.
Spirit Warrior Training is a six month healing and transformational program. The program moves through three main stages of healing;
Stage One: Discovering Yourself
Stage Two: Understanding Yourself
Stage Three: Aligning Yourself
SWT offers students 1:1 mentor sessions and support with me for six months, as well as an online student portal with lesson videos, journal questions and resource material. We also offer a community gathering once a month with other likeminded SWT students on the healing journey and lots of support along the way!
The students will work through things like uncovering any childhood trauma or unhealed pain, limiting beliefs and behaviors that have held them back from living a life of purpose.
During this program students learn life skills, gain more self awareness and a clearer understanding of themselves and their purpose. This program help empower anyone to break free of limiting beliefs, discover their greatness and live a life of love and passion.

Training and knowledge matter of course, but beyond that what do you think matters most in terms of succeeding in your field?
There are so many different healers and coaches out there these days. I truly feel that the most important thing in this field of healing and mental health is that each person out there teaching or sharing their medicine to also take the time to heal and do the work they need to do on themselves. This is a constant. We are always learning and unlearning and as we hold space for other through this type of work, it’s important that we also check in with ourselves and our energy regularly.
How did you put together the initial capital you needed to start?
When I started my healing practice almost 6 years ago now, I had very little. I was blessed to have found a small space that was affordable in Ocean Beach, San Diego.
I didn’t need much, all I needed was a massage table for doing my Reiki and aromatherapy treatments and a couple of comfy seats for my 1:1 counseling sessions. The rest was all from the passion and love of my heart to help people. I kept hearing that saying from the movie Field of Dreams, “If you build, they will come”, and sure enough, people started to come and then refer me to others and before I knew it, my resilience to TRUST and have faith in what my purpose, allowed me to build the business that I have today, as well as be able to finish writing my book and creating my healing programs.
When you truly believe in what you do and what you want to share with the world, you can create it from any space.
