Greece Retreat

"When women deeply relax,
we become wise."

– Gigi Sage

"I'm reaching my goals, and I feel deeply connected to my heart & soul."

“What a wonderful impact you have had on me – I feel strong yet playful! Before I was strong, but also hard, which cost me a lot of energy.

Through our work together, I’ve learned to trust myself and BE myself in a respectful, powerful & loving way. I’m reaching my goals, and I feel deeply connected to my heart & soul. This is the best thing that could have happened to me! I’m so excited to continue learning from you.”

~ Anna Traenkner (Germany)

"Many of my biggest dreams have come true."

“I’ve worked with Gigi & Makena for several years now – and so much has changed. I let go of so many fears, anxieties and old beliefs that were holding me back. I became more relaxed in business, and with my family. Many of my biggest dreams have come true. Today, I feel a grounded happiness that stays with me all the time, regardless of the situations or circumstances going on around me. And I know for a fact I wouldn’t be in this place without their love & support. Thank you!”

~ Reema (Singapore)

I'm not just a better businesswoman...
I'm also a better parent & wife."

The biggest change that’s happened for me is clarity and focus. I’ve broken through my self-sabotaging tendency of always being “too busy” and implemented strategies that have allowed me to work smarter instead of harder. I’ve become a better leader for my team. And I really truly feel that I have become less stressed, more in control, and it’s allowed my life to FLOW a lot more... so I am not just a better business-woman, but also a better parent and wife."

~ Sharon Feanny (Jamaica)

When she finally got the clarity & courage to leave her 6-figure business & pursue her life-long dream of coaching, it was like coming back ALIVE again. Makena partnered with Gigi to create Aliveness Mastery™ – a coaching certification for entrepreneurs, leaders & coaches who want to gain true coaching mastery – and the Business Bootcamp for purpose driven-entrepreneurs.

"I tripled my income, and moved into my dream apartment. I had no idea this was possible!"

“Before we worked together I was not just afraid to go after my dreams – I was afraid to dream. I didn’t have a vision for my life. I thought it would be better to not dream, than to dream and be disappointed. 

You helped me rediscover my bigger dreams, and the step-by-step plan to start making them a reality. I got the courage to leave my job and become my own boss. 

I tripled my income in a matter of weeks – and now I’m making 4-5X my previous income. I moved into my dream apartment. Opportunities are coming to me left and right. 

I had no idea this was possible. I had tried to go out on my own so many times, but I really needed the support & accountability to make it happen. Thank you!"

~ Tanya Faris (Austin, TX)

"Gigi’s coaching has transformed my relationship, career, and even my family."

“I started coaching with Gigi 12 years ago, and it’s changed my life completely. At the time, I was very stressed out, and a total perfectionist. From the outside, everyone said I had a ‘perfect’ life – the kids, job, and everything. But I wasn’t truly happy. Through working with Gigi, I’ve grown so much, and become more of my true self. I’m more accepting, empathetic, and above all – happy.

I’ve grown a very successful business with my husband, which didn’t seem possible twelve years ago. But Gigi taught me how to communicate with him so that we could go ALL IN and build our success together. Gigi’s coaching has transformed my relationship, career, and even my family. We are so much more connected, and our relationships have a much higher quality.

Thank you for all that you do. Every time I work with you both I learn new things, and get clarity about what’s next. That’s why I keep coming back!”

~ Katja Wieland-Kaefer (Germany)

"My biggest breakthrough has been unearthing the BOLD Nicky that was buried inside."

“My biggest breakthrough has been unearthing the BOLD Nicky that was buried inside. Before working with you, I was very much a ‘behind-the-scenes’ girl. Though I posted on social media every day for a year, I didn’t get ANY clients from it – because I was scared to get really vulnerable online and bring more of ME into my online presence. I was worried people would judge me.

Now, I’ve enrolled several clients (who keep signing up for package after package!), launched a gorgeous website, and even did my first professional photoshoot! I truly believe in myself – and this shift in my confidence has transferred to my coaching too.

The Aliveness Method™ has awoken something in me! I get goosebumps during our classes as I can feel myself rising to a whole new level – learning so much that I’m applying to ALL areas of my life. I’m so much calmer and clearer. My relationship with my kids is so much stronger. And my husband is happier too! Thank you for this priceless gift.”

~ Nicky Clarke (Jamaica)
