Neuroscience-backed coaching to help you manifest the life you deserve—with joy.
You Know You’re Meant for More
Deep inside, you feel it.
The life you’ve been imagining: more freedom, more joy, more of the real you, is not just a dream.
It’s possible. And you’re closer than you think.
But there’s something in the way.
Maybe it’s the anxious voice in your head that won’t quiet down. The old patterns that keep showing up no matter how hard you try to change them. The gap between what you consciously want and what your body and subconscious keep doing instead.
Here’s what I want you to know: that gap isn’t a flaw. It’s neuroscience. And it’s exactly what we work on together.
Meet the 3R’s: A NEUROSCIENCE-BACKED PATH TO TRANSFORMATION
As a Neuroscience Coach (and Hypnotherapist) with over 20 years of experience, I’ve developed a powerful framework that works at every level: your nervous system, your brain, and your identity, to create deep, lasting change.
Regulate Your Nervous System
Before you can build anything new, your body needs to feel safe. We start by calming the stress response, healing old wounds stored in the body, and giving you real tools and exercises to regulate your emotions and reactions in daily life. This way, you get back to balance or homeostasis, calm and embodiment. If your body doesn’t feel safe, it won’t have the capacity to accept the new, more aligned, more abundant identity you really desire.
Rewire your Brain + Subconscious Patterns
Using the science of neuroplasticity and the tranformative power of neuroscience-backed coaching, we go beneath the surface to uncover and shift the limiting beliefs, behaviors and programs that have been running (and sometimes ruining) your life on autopilot. You start rewiring and reprogramming the neural pathways in your brain, resulting in new, more aligned and healthier subconscious belief and thought patterns. It’s about small, daily, consistent steps, not necessarily one dramatic aha moment (like in the movies).
Reset Your Identity
This is where the magic happens. When your nervous system is calm and your subconscious is aligned with what you truly want and who you truly are, you stop trying to push through and force change and start becoming the person who naturally creates it. Visualization, embodiment and belief are some of the tools.
If you've ever wondered why you keep repeating the same patterns, in relationships, in your career, in how you respond to stress, the answer isn't willpower. It’s neuroscience.
As a neuroscience coach based in Manhattan, I work with high-achieving professionals and individuals in New York City (and worldwide) who are done with surface-level advice. My approach is rooted in how your brain actually works: the nervous system, the subconscious, and the neural pathways that run your life on autopilot.
Neuroscience coaching is different from traditional life coaching because it goes beneath behavior to the biology behind it. We don't just set goals, we identify and rewire the patterns your brain has been running since childhood. Hypnotherapy can help the change happen faster and goes deeper.
Ready to work with a neuroscience coach in NYC who combines brain science with real, lived experience? Let's talk.
You feel stuck in anxiety, overthinking, or chronic stress.
You’ve tried therapy, journaling, self-help books and courses, but the same patterns keep coming back
You know what you want, but you can’t seem to make yourself do it consistently
You know your desires and goals and work hard but somehow, don’t get to where you want to be and go
You want to manifest your goals, without the hustle, the burnout, or the self-doubt
You’re ready to stop surviving and start truly thriving
If you nodded your head at even one of these—you’re in the right place.

Working with Dr Gigi has been incredibly valuable. After relocating to a new country and feeling disoriented, she helped me identify what really matters to me and how to prioritize my goals. Her focus on finding balance and understanding my values gave me the clarity I needed to start up my own venture. Dr Gigi's support has made a significant impact during this transitional period. I highly recommend her for anyone looking to gain focus and direction.
-Sophie B., NYC

Thanks to her, I feel more empowered, focused and equipped to navigate life’s challenges with confidence. I highly recommend Gigi to anyone seeking positive change and personal growth.

After years of a debilitating fear of flying, I was willing to try anything to cure my panic attacks. This led me to the discovery of Dr Gigi Arnaud and her hypnosis sessions.
After one session with Dr Gigi, I was finally able to fly without a single panic or anxiety attack!
It was relaxing, informative and gave me the tools to control my fears.
- Ruby Mainieri, NYC
I highly recommend her work!
Gigi has helped me greatly in looking at my life from a new perspective. I have been feeling quite depressed over some decisions I made in the past that affected the entire trajectory of my life, and many times I wish I had made different decisions than those I did make, so many years ago. Gigi helped me realize that the decisions I made then were made for a good reason at that time and served their purpose. That was then and this is now. Gigi let me see that I am now free to change the trajectory of my life to a path that is more fulfilling for me! I feel much more positive about what the future holds for me!
— Bobby G., Princeton, NJ
“After a few years of living mostly alone and working from my apartment during the pandemic, I was feeling cut off from life—directionless, having feelings of hopelessness, and I had totally lost my joie de vivre. Having used coaching in the past, I thought a practical kick in the butt would give me the tools I needed to reenter life and get past the malaise I found myself in. I don’t know where I even got the strength to reach out to find someone, but I knew how much I needed help. The Googles found me Gigi, and as soon as I read her profile I knew she was the one. Fast forward months later: Gigi supported me through a move out of NYC where I am so much happier living in nature, her encouragement got me reconnected with my body and I now regularly exercise, and her hypnotherapy sessions have me on a path to weight loss. I have my life back and the future looks bright!”
- Trisha M., East Hampton, NY
“Thank you Gigi for your support and guidance through a transition phase of my life. You have given me the tools and practices to change my thoughts and habits, to encourage me to go after my dreams. I started off in the beginning of our sessions wanting to improve my presentation and communication skills but my time with you has been about so much more and more about how to change the way I view myself and how to care for myself. Practice makes progress, progress not perfection is permanently implanted in my mind and on my post-it wall! THANK YOU!”
— Nellie, NYC
"Gigi has a wonderful way of helping me to find options and choices in situations where I could not see them….and most importantly, she now has me feeling that I am empowered to embark on any venture that I choose. It amazes me how easily Gigi can ‘read me’ and is so tuned in to my way of thinking and how I can get in my own way.”
— Julie F., Fair Lawn, NJ
“Dr Gigi's life and career coaching have given me effective strategies and sound advice to help me define success for myself and keep after the ideal despite opposition from the seemingly constant interruptions of everyday life. Although I didn't believe hypnosis would work at first, I've found that it was the most helpful part of her service."
—Brian H., New York, NY
“After going through a difficult period, I was struggling to find my own path in life. Dr Gigi has helped me to discover my strengths, values and as a result, allowed me to find direction I couldn't before....“
— Lauren D., NYC
Dr. Gigi Arnaud
Neuroscience Coach & Hypnotherapist
For years, I was that person. Capable, accomplished, smiling—and quietly overwhelmed beneath it all.
I carried anxiety that wouldn’t quit. A low hum of hypervigilance that I didn’t even recognize as hypervigilance; I just thought that was how life felt. I had limiting beliefs so deep I’d mistaken them for facts: “I’m not enough.” “There’s something wrong with me,” “I don’t deserve….” “Who am I to want more?”
I also had a successful dental practice in midtown Manhattan that I’d run for over 35 years. Respected. Recognized. On paper, thriving.
But I knew, in that quiet, persistent way you can’t ignore forever, that it wasn’t my deeper calling. That there was a version of me I hadn’t yet become. And that something needed to change from the inside out.
Sound familiar?

REGULATE
YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM
RESET
YOUR IDENTITY
I’ll be honest with you. I’m not a coach who tells you what you want to hear. I’m the coach who tells you what you need to hear; with compassion, directness, and 20+ years of experience behind every word.
My clients will tell you. I’m real. I’m warm. I don’t waste your time. And I go straight to the root of what’s actually going on, not just the symptoms on the surface.
I’ve lived through anxiety, intergenerational trauma, major life reinventions, and the slow, beautiful process of learning to trust myself. So when you sit across from me, you’re not just working with a coach who has the credentials. You’re working with someone who gets it.
And I believe, completely and without reservation, that you can change. That the life you keep imagining is possible and it’s waiting for you.
You just need the right partner, the right guide, the right method, and the willingness to go deep.
Safe, settled, and centered in your body, not braced for what’s coming next
Clear on who you are and what you actually want, beneath all the noise
Free from the limiting beliefs and old stories that have been holding you back for years
Genuinely confident; not performed confidence, but the real, quiet kind that comes from knowing yourself
Aligned with your purpose, your values, and the most authentic version of you
Ready to manifest the life you’ve been dreaming about, with joy, not grind.
That’s not fantasy. That’s what’s possible when you regulate, rewire, and reset.
And I’m here to help you get there.

I’ve worked with Gigi twice now, and both times I’ve left our sessions a better version of myself. In college, she helped me grow up and 8 years later, she helped me face a new set of challenges in facing the world. This recent time, I had realized that my dreams were a distant reality. I was confused about moving forward. I could not see what was holding me back.
She not only helped me identify what those problems were but helped me make a schedule and taught me practices to keep myself moving forward. She kept it real and let me understand how I was acting, which gave me the opportunity to improve myself. It’s hard to describe, but my whole attitude towards life has changed. I feel more capable, confident, and I love life again.
To anyone else confused on their purpose and how they are moving towards it, I highly suggest talking to Gigi. She will help you heal the way you talk to yourself, and rebuild a loving relationship with yourself——-the most important one you’ll have in life.
