Gemi was lead by love to come to the US and that’s when she married her then, husband.
At one point she was juggling and running so many things at once, alongside with raising her 2 children she had a breakdown. She was stressed, depleted in so many ways, and was running her dad’s business that was overseas. Her brain stopped working, and the doctors had no idea what was going on. So she went on a journey to discover her own true health.
She launched, Nourish the Brain Institute, and that is not her first company. This company was launched in her own house, with $0 investment. She’s now making over $1M annually as a Brain and Behavior Coach helping people transform their lives through healthy eating habits, one on one coaching, through her Brain & Behavior Academy Program and lots of other methodologies.
Gemi’s current business was launched when she was 43 years old and her business is thriving!

Quotes by Gemi
I worked for 8 months without getting paid.
I always have scheduled time during the week just to think. So I can create new things, so I can think of new strategies. So I can think about the next move.
Nothing comes for free or easy.
What was the key for the business to thrive in the very beginning, it was because I was based in my purpose. This is my life.
I’m preaching what I’m doing every single day.
I’m so aligned with what I do that it’s impossible not to work.
When you start a business and you’re from a foreign country, many things you don’t know how they work, and many people you don’t trust, but that’s just based on the fear that we have.
Get involved.
The one thing that helps me most is having a structure.
Your brain thrives much better if you can create a structure.
You jump, you do it, you go for it and you will figure it out the way.
If I did it, anybody can do it.
My education is not being used in my company.
It’s not like oh you have to have education, have to have a business background, no you do not.
I could’ve done it without any education.
Keep in mind, if you can see it in your mind you can hold it in your hand.
