About Me

Gizelle Luccio

has spent more than forty years walking with people through the hardest passages of their lives – as a counselor, an on-call clergy in addiction treatment, a clinical supervisor, a spiritual mentor, as well as a retreat leader, teacher & guide.

Beginning The Journey

Fueled by a desire to blend clinical and spiritual support for those seeking healing and empowerment, Gizelle earned her Master’s in Theological Studies with a concentration in Pastoral Counseling from Claremont School of Theology in 1988, and has practiced in human services ever since.

Her clinical work spans individual, group, couples, and family counseling, along with program development, management, and clinical supervision. She served as an on-call clergy in substance abuse treatment programs for almost ten years, and led youth ministry in a residential treatment program.

She holds certifications as a Qualified Mental Health Professional, and as a Drug & Alcohol Counselor in the state of Oregon.

From childhood she perceived more than what she could express through language. What arrived as transcendent experiences and unexplained impressions in her early years, over decades, culminated into an intuitive knowing rooted in cognitive resonance. Holding a disciplined form of attention – her ‘knowing’ coalesces as information that comes through physical sensations, auditory messages, visions or images, often resonating within her energy field before it expresses itself conceptually.

Merging Personal & Professional Journeys

For much of her career Gizelle kept these two halves of herself in separate spheres. The clinical settings she worked emphasized ‘best practices’ as a formula for success, so she used what she perceived quietly – letting it guide her focus, legitimized by intellect into an acceptable framework.

Yet she relied heavily upon this foundational way of noticing what a person has not yet said out loud to provide clues and openings for deeper inquiry – often using her Intuitive gifts to support profound psychic change.

In August of 1998, three personal crises occurred within a span of 5 days, breaking down the wall that separated these realms within (and without). What followed was a profound disorientation to all that she thought she ‘knew’ about herself and the purpose of her life. This led her to work with a teacher and to participate in an intensive twenty-two year course of study entitled: “Mastery of Conditioned Ego-Consciousness & Emotional Self-Responsibility”.

Integrated Approach for Conscious Healing

Out of that study, woven together with the 12-step recovery model she knew from personal experience and work in treatment settings, came the 5 Keys to Emotional Sobriety – the framework her practice rests upon today.

Emotional Sobriety is the capacity to stay present with your own experience without needing to numb it, manage it, or perform around it. It is what most people are actually looking for when they say they want to feel more like themselves – or what others have described as: “wanting to find themselves”.

Today she works privately with individuals who want to go deeper than symptom relief; seeking something more, they are drawn to: deepening self- awareness, personal readings, and spiritual expansion.

Often people start with a single conversation – no commitment, a simple opening to describe what brought them here. Within moments you will know whether or not this is a good ‘fit’ for you. You may sense a spark, something within that is curious – an impulse to discover if this approach will best serve you on your journey. Your journey begins with a single step ….

"Gizelle has been a gift in my life. What she does goes far beyond traditional counseling. She has been a loving guide, always pointing me back toward myself to be my own loving guide.

She holds space in a gentle and nurturing way and skillfully is always able to guide me back to myself for my own answers, teaching me to show up for myself most authentically.

She has helped me navigate through some extremely difficult life challenges, through the process becoming more whole and grounded in myself.

Gizelle has a unique gift, which she shares with others through her work. I cannot recommend her highly enough."

“Although I have long been aware of your gifts of practical insight and communication, I was quite pleasantly surprised at how well you are able to apply both to intuitive vision.

Your perceptions rang true and the metaphors that evolved during our session carried meaning to a deep personal level.

Your artful mastery of our language (aside from being really impressive) was especially compelling–I was absorbed as if under the spell of a gifted storyteller.

I look forward to the opportunity for further exploration!”

“I have had spiritual readings with palm-readers, past-life readers, and even with the head of the National Spiritual Science Center in Washington, D.C., but I have never before experienced the joyful, exuberant and immediate connection to my guards and guides that I received during my Soul Reading with Gizelle.

The psychics and counselors I had met before were somewhat distant in a session rather than warm and loving, as if they needed to separate themselves from the subject (me) in order to be objective.

But Gizelle blew me away because she emanated positive, loving energy as she told me what to expect in the session, and then closed her eyes and began to tell me what images and messages she was receiving from the guards and guides who seriously want to help me figure out my life.
