 About Luigi:

I created and began teaching the Beyond the Binary workshop in 2017 alongside working as a gender support coach after a lifelong journey as a trans/non-binary queer person. I am a licensed healthcare provider in WA and am tremendously grateful for the opportunity to have worked with many teachers, healers and leaders who have offered me invaluable tools for myself and to share with others on similar paths. It feels natural for me to hold space for and provide support where needed for others on their journey.

I have also built a thriving bodywork practice since 2015 as a Licensed Massage Therapist who works with our community in pre-post surgery preparation and a variety of other gender-affirming, trauma-informed, body-positive hands on bodywork in Tacoma WA. It is with great pleasure to serve the community through gender support and bodywork while providing a welcoming and uplifting environment for everyone on their unique and beautiful journey.
