Born the eldest of six from a loving Wisconsin family, Gigi learned the art of hospitality at a young age by helping with simple home tasks and thrived when this included good food and entertaining. Her passion for travel and culture has taken her to Mexico/Central America, Europe, Southeast Asia and Hawaii- where she settled for a decade. On Maui, her strong work ethic enabled her to assist as a private Sous Chef and Server, refining her skills as Mixologist, Pairing Enthusiast and perfecting the presentation of service to tailor the needs of each guest.
In addition to her hospitality background, Gigi is a RYS 200 certified yoga instructor and has been teaching for the past 15 years. Gigi is currently accepting private yoga bookings. Inquire directly on our Contact page for availability & pricing.
