About Gae Russo

Gae Russo

Medical Administrative Assistant &

Director of Operations

As the first voice clients at The Healing Collective encounter, Gae is much more than a receptionist. She is knowledgeable and works to ensure each client’s needs are met from the first phone call to the office. In her role as the Director of Operations, she is incredibly detail-oriented, manages all of the administrative work, and keeps the office organized and running smoothly.

Gae has always been passionate about nutrition and fitness. She spent many years working in a physical therapy office and an athletic club, where she learned the latest and greatest information on health. She brought that extensive experience to her roles at The Healing Collective and has made a positive impact on the practice and the clients we serve.

Functional Medicine Changed Her Life

Gae’s personal journey into alternative medicine began a few years ago when she was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. She was surprised when she became ill because she had faithfully followed all the advice from the experts. Traditional doctors tried to help but finally said there was nothing more they could do. This is when Gae discovered functional medicine and all that it had to offer. Gae admits that functional medicine has turned her life around!

For The Healing Collective, Gae strives to create a positive, nurturing, and happy environment. She will answer your questions about the practice, help you set up appointments, and promote efficiency in the office to respect you and your time.

Providing Compassionate Support to Make Clients’ Lives Easier

Because of her personal experience, Gae treats all clients in a sensitive, caring way.

“I really enjoy helping our clients and just being of service, and I strive to make their lives a little bit easier because in today's world it’s like a fight to do anything wherever you go,” said Gae. “When they come to us at The Healing Collective, I want to make it easier for them so they know that we're trying to be there for them and help them as best we can.”

Clients have noticed Gae’s professionalism and sensitivity when calling and visiting the office. She shows clients that they matter–whether it’s responding promptly to an email or offering kindness and a listening ear during a phone call. She cares about each client having a positive experience from their first interaction with The Healing Collective.

When she's not at the office, Gae enjoys playing African drums and practicing Tai Chi.
