Mini bio

How it started.

Gabby first meditated with her mother at an ashram in upstate New York. She later worked as a New York City publicist. In her own account, addiction and an outward search for happiness led to a turning point: she got sober on October 2, 2005, and returned to spiritual practice.

Finding her voice.

In a 2012 interview, she said she began studying A Course in Miracles in 2005. Speaking and coaching led her to write Add More ~ing to Your Life so audiences could keep exploring the ideas after an event. Spirit Junkie followed in 2011, telling her own story through lessons about fear, perception and self-love.

Reaching more people.

The Universe Has Your Back became a #1 New York Times bestseller. Appearances on Oprah’s SuperSoul Sunday brought her teaching to a wider audience, and she was included in Oprah’s SuperSoul 100. Her work also extended to a guided meditation co-hosted with Deepak Chopra.

Where fans find her now.

Gabby started Dear Gabby in 2021. Her recent podcast conversations explore intuition, relationships and spiritual guidance, alongside her books and coaching membership. She completed IFS Institute practitioner training and draws on Internal Family Systems ideas in Self Help, published at the end of 2024.
