about us

Lynda Cormier-Hanser
Co-CEO
Just like you, I juggle different responsibilities. A wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, and a woman pursuing my dreams… each of those joyful roles requires time, energy and effort. As I raised my children and built a career in training, speaking and teaching leadership and teambuilding, I realized that everyone, including me, continually strives for balance. Sometimes navigating work, family, finances, self, etc.. can pull us out of balance and especially in today’s world, we can feel a bit overwhelmed. I know I did. We all know that phrase, you cannot give away what you don’t have. At some point I realized, that in order for me to “give” my best while teaching others to be their best, I had to define what feeling “well” meant for me. Discovering “self-care” before it was a thing, and that it didn’t necessarily mean scheduling a monthly massage (though that would have been amazing!). When my children were young, I had neither the time nor the money on what felt like was a luxury. I could, however, take care of my body, mind, heart, and soul in ways that made sense for me. And I did want to help empower people to take charge of their own wellbeing in more than one way. Wellness is more than one thing, and it’s different for everyone.
The world has evolved in so many ways, and so dramatically in the last 25 years. Between the wireless world, and all the ramifications both good and bad, that technology brings, the domino effect of Big Pharma, and many other influences, our country, and our world still have a long way to go when it comes to living a life of true wellness.
I wanted to create a legacy where Wellness meant more because I believe the world really needs each of us to be more of who we were meant to be. Curating tools, products, and resources that meet people wherever they are in their wellness journey and make a significant difference. We are redefining wellness and have created a community and movement of empowered people who are proactive about their wellbeing. With GIA, Wellness means more than it ever has, because you deserve to “feel more you” and do more of what you were meant to do. Our vision is BIG, redefining wellness for everyone to step into the best version of themselves, so they can enjoy life to the fullest, and make the impact they were meant to make. Your voice does make a difference and we hope you join us!
