Gianna Vallefuoco

Gianna is an artist and entrepreneur who found her way to mindfulness during a health crisis in her family almost 20 years ago. She is an MMTCP certified Mindfulness Meditation teacher, and eternal student, in mental fitness through intentional practice. She speaks regularly to law enforcement and first responders, to private companies, and most often in her own head. As an innate overthinker, Gianna is aware of the many stories of the human mind. She has witnessed the life-changing benefits mindfulness practices can have on individuals and organizations as a whole. She speaks to diverse audiences across the USA on crisis intervention, self compassion, and creative mindset. Her other career roles include 26 years in the tile and stone industry and over a decade as Founder of Disability Inclusion Guild, her passion project. She has many passions and clients, including wonderfully inspiring and terrifyingly intimidating executive teams who somehow always turn out to be human. She believes mindfulness can bring a room of big titles down to the level of shared common humanity. This is the level on which human connection and creativity can happen. She weaves in concepts from Interpersonal Neurobiology, psychology, and art to help fellow humans ease the suffering in our heads. Gianna practices living with intention, especially in her most imperfect moments, of which there are many. As a flawed human, she believes intention steers us from the heart and saves us from the ego.
