Learn SMGI®: Immersive Online Training with Gina Vance

A new way to heal using the power of the old ways.

A Gentle Fast-track to Soul-knowing & Healing

SMGI® uses the power of the old ways in new ways. It’s informed by a curated combination of shamanism, hypnotherapy, parts work, inner child work, guided imagery, meditation, and somatic, body-centered exploration and discovery, that is quickly, gently and profoundly healing.

It results in freedom, ease and pleasure in the intensely exquisite human experience.

This method helps resolve trauma-related activations in the mind/body systems - without harsh catharsis or reliving of overwhelming events.

The clients that I’m working with are experiencing radical shifts more quickly, and more easily than I’ve ever seen before in 20 years of work.

And these people also seem to know that healing is possible. They don’t want to just talk about it or understand it any more, they actually want to get it done.

People are ready.

The SMGI® protocols are designed to get you further, faster and with great power.

I’m here to guide you.

Meet the founder

Hi, I’m Gina Vance, 

Mind-body mentor and inner journey guide. 

I’m the developer of Somatic Mindful Guided Imagery®, or SMGI®.

For some years now, I’ve been shown a vision of a “grand clamoring” in my meditations. A time when multitudes of healers would be needed because there would be a huge surge in desire for healing help.

And it would rise up like never before. All these people wanting and needing help healing.

I’m here to tell you that, from my experience, the clamouring has arrived.

Next SMGI® online training starts March, 2025 and ends September, 2025!
