Hi! I'm Gabs
You are not the thoughts in your head. Not the embarrassing stories your family still tells about you. And you are certainly not your job title.
NICE TO MEET YOU
I'm Gabs DeLorenze
Back in 2014, I moved alone to a new city, started my first big girl job, and was sexually assaulted - all within two weeks.
To say I was lost was an understatement. I didn't recognize myself in the mirror anymore.
So after the universe gently invited me three times, I joined my first Yoga Teacher Training. And in that training, I discovered something that would change everything: I had been living off of outside praise and approval. I didn't know how to make or keep boundaries. And if I was going to survive — I had to learn how to listen to, and trust, my own intuition.
Through breathwork, meditation, journaling, workshops, and investing over $20K in coaches and mentors, I arrived at the one thing that has anchored everything since:
No one was going to help, fix, or save me. Rule #1: You can only control yourself.
Around that same time, I was sitting in the anatomy weekend of my YTT when the instructor stood up and announced we needed a "common language" — then proceeded to teach entirely in medical terminology to a room full of people who spoke English. After every session, my classmates would crowd around me asking, "What was she even talking about?"I'd clarify, teach, demo it through movement. The following year, my mentor asked me to come back and teach that weekend myself.
That moment told me everything.
I began using my degrees in athletic training and biomechanics to teach anatomy to yoga teacher trainings, wellness professionals, and personal trainers. I started helping clients work through physical pain through what I called "yoga rehab" — yoga meets physical therapy meets strength training meets myofascial release. The secret sauce, I found, was movement paired with manual therapies: lymphatic drainage, myofascial release, deep tissue work.
And then something happened on the table that I didn't expect.
Every client who lay down to release tension started talking. About hardships. About childhood. Some, simple tough conversations. Others, stories of assault, deep fears, moments of feeling unloved and unheard. Resentment. Shame. Hurt that had nowhere else to go.
Their emotional pain was showing up in their physical bodies. I watched it happen, again and again, on my own table.
A week later, I enrolled in a life coaching certification. I needed to learn how to actually be of service to what I was witnessing.
And then I became a mother...
Then I became a mother.
After preparing for a fully natural birth, I arrived at the hospital 8cm dilated only to end up in emergency surgery for a breech baby I had been telling my midwives for a month was sitting in my right hip. Even after years of coaching women to listen to and trust their bodies, I had allowed someone else to override my own.
Lying on the operating table, the surgeon asked if I had a song I wanted my baby born to. I said it didn't matter. My husband pulled out my phone anyway. As Come to Mama by Lady Gaga filled the room, I heard a big cry. I pulled my gown down for skin to skin — and felt nothing but defeated, raw, failure.
And then I heard myself say: You have a choice. You can be pissed that this didn't go the way you wanted, or you can be happy. They're about to hand you your baby. This is the happiest day of your life.
So I chose happiness. Each and every day.
Motherhood cracked me open in ways I didn't expect — and it deepened everything I already understood about the body, about letting go, about what women actually need and aren't being given.
What I do now
Yoga saved my life after I was assaulted. Teaching the body's language saved my career. And motherhood taught me that the two were never separate to begin with.
That's the work now: somatic bodywork, embodiment, and nervous system regulation for women navigating the seasons that crack you open — postpartum, perimenopause, the in-between years no one prepares you for.
Most of what I offer lives in self-paced, somatic-based mini courses you can move through on your own time. For women who want deeper, sustained support, I open 12 spots a year for 1:1 coaching — a 4 to 6 month journey, kept intentionally small so the work stays real.
This work works. These practices work. And it is an absolute honor to share them.
WHAT WOMEN SAY
"I recommend Gabby to anyone feeling stuck, scattered, or fatigued. She helped me ease into my body after years of disconnect. Her constant warmth and compassion helped me feel safe to let whatever was arising simply flow out of me. I found relief, feel lighter, and have so much clarity."
- Sarah C., 6-figure corporate Mamma of 3
"Gab taught me to rest when I needed to, and that it was equally important to be conscious of my tendencies to avoid responsibilities. She helped me find small changes that made big differences. I can breathe a whole lot deeper after our work together."
- E.E. Stone, Artist and Boy Mom
"Working with Gab has changed my life. I learned to tune into how my body was feeling and to trust myself again. She reminded me that I can do hard things, and that I'm not alone."
-Amanda S., Thriving Single Mamma of 2
Why I Do It
Every client who ever lay down on my table started talking. About hardships. About childhood. About the grief they'd been carrying in their hips, the rage living in their jaw, the exhaustion that no amount of sleep could touch.
Their emotional pain was showing up in their physical bodies. I watched it happen again and again.
I do this work because I lived it too. Because I know what it feels like to not recognize yourself in the mirror. To give birth on a table when you planned something completely different. To hand your body over to someone else's authority when every instinct you had was screaming something different.
Women's bodies are not broken. They are brilliant, communicative, and wildly undertreated.
This work exists because too many women are white-knuckling their way through life in bodies they've stopped trusting — and I refuse to let that be the end of the story.
You deserve to feel at home in yourself. That's why I do it.
