“Gaia’s fairy tale provided much needed insight on a lot of things. There was no question that the animals she selected for me were perfect. Her story acted as that what I needed as a sense of re-orientation, re-igniting my spiritual awareness and calmness.”
-Venessa Quatre
"What a delight it was to receive my personalized fairy tale from Gaia. It was as though she saw me through her ethereal sight and found the magical fairy essence within me and immortalized it in a story. Loved it."
- Reena Kumarasingham
“Gaia has a gift for telling stories that are both familiar and fantastical. It’s impossible to read her work without getting a sense of her earnest goodwill and equanimity, how she values all life, from the animal characters in her stories to the trees she cares for. Her stories are vital, spontaneous, imaginative, whimsical and poignant. The feeling one gets from reading her stories are of stepping into a Henri Rousseau painting. Everything is just a little more vibrant, and you’re delightfully surprised at what flora and fauna you might encounter.”
-Jonah Dempcy
“Sometimes I lose track of what I am doing in life and where I am going. Life happens so fast and it is constantly changing. Reading the story reminded me of how I need to stop and listen to the things that make me happy and that I need balance in my life. Instead of thinking what to do I must remember to listen to my being. The answers will come if I am listening.”
-Robert Nakamura
"Hi Gaia. I would like to thank you so much for the nice story you wrote for me. It is very inspirational and every time I read it, I get a new message. It is interesting how certain words and phrases sound different each time. Interestingly I can find traits of my character with both acting characters."
-Vasilis Capsis
“Gaia’s writing is a pleasure to read. She has a great connection to nature and can weave her story around beautiful settings and creatures we find all around us. She is able to help you learn important life’s lesson through her words.”
-Gary Wills
“Treea Fairy Tales are spontaneously creative original stories set in nature with animals as characters. These stories are lovely for many reasons but primarily because the animal characters take on only the best human qualities. Whether the character is represented by an animal that is an herbivor or a carnivor, the animal characters are kind, patient, loving, whimsical, joy seeking, fun loving with attributes the author loves most.
"Like the author, the stories focus on the joy of being part of nature. She weaves the best of humanity through acts of kindness, friendship, playfulness, comraderie, faithfulness, devotion, existing together in nature. These are the types of features displayed in the Treea Fairy Tales.
The animals in the Treea Fairy Tales remind us by example to respond to others in loving, caring, compassionate ways. They demonstrate actions and attributes that we as humans should strive to emulate if we should wish to live a joyful, expressive, free spirited life.”
-Elaine Yacalis
“Gaia is the gift that embodies the gift of nature. If you’ve lost touch with your way home, she tunes in and gently reminds you of your very own grace with her playful ways. If Gaia has come into your life there is no way of escaping her loving magic. Once you’ve opened up to her creature you’ve got only got one thing left. To discover the ever present beauty of nature right under your skin. And, heck probably ON your skin! Gaia is the gift of friendship that embodies the language of nature.”
-Heyona Chow
"We all long to see ourselves more deeply. In creating a personal fairy tale for me, Gaia’s gave form to two archetypal energies that are dear to me. With her intuitive abilities she weaves a magical landscape in which these sweet and innocent creatures reveal the archetypal dance at the heart of my being. The tenderness and innocence of Gaia’s heart imbues the creatures in her fairy tale with an immediacy that brings to life the inner archetypal realms within us. I will treasure my fairy tale and return to its wisdom often."
-Sabrina Page
"Gaia is a gifted story teller. She has a unique way of capturing the essence of who you are. Her story carries messages about where you are in your journey. I believe she is connecting to your souls essence to help you on your souls journey. Her stories are a profound gift!"
-Peter Roe, creator of Love Your Human Design
"Magical, empathic, penetrating with a depth of connection to the natural world, Gaia's fairy tales embody the universal quality of innocence, connecting and re-connecting, through imagery and sensuality to our childhood sense of imaginative wonder. Deep personal themes are woven through my tale of creatures of sea and land, spirit and matter. I shall treasure my tale of Empsicho, the shape-shifting blue whale."
-Tess Palma
"Wow. I felt tingles in my body while I read the story that Gaia wrote for me, as if it tapped into a deep knowing in my cells. I felt recognized and honored in a way that put me in touch with my own power, like looking into a magical mirror that few people get to see. The animals and scenario that she presented captured my essence simply and profoundly. It was mystical, honest, penetrating, and left me with a sense of being empowered. What Gaia shares through her creative insights is great medicine for the soul."

“I've had the privilege of reading two stories from Gaia, one for myself and the other for my girlfriend. Let me start off by saying that reading a fairy tale about your life is a lot of fun! Both stories were rich with symbolism that reflected aspects of our lives and lessons we're here to learn. They were written in simple, accessible, language, but yielded deeper insights with reflection over time. Gaia provided ample information about the spirit animals that showed up in our stories so that we could fully understand their meaning and significance in our lives. I really enjoyed gifting myself and my girlfriend these stories - they're such a unique and personal gift that we've cherished. Where else will you have the chance to read a fairy tale about your life? This is a sacred gift I highly recommend!”

A Few Fairy Tales
Agathos
This one was actually not written for anyone it was before that concept had come to me. It was one of the first stories I have ever written many years ago and has remained my favorite so far very special to my heart. This one is me. One day on facebook I was given spontaneously different words by different friends to write whatever story comes to me. The words that were given to me were: A winged horse, bridle, a bubbling brook, a cottage made of stones with a thatched roof, & a clearing full of wildflowers.
This is what I wrote:
The river is quite today, not a single ripple in the water. Nothing moving not even a leaf, as if the Earth was asleep. In fact, she was taking her daily nap...even she needs to rest sometimes as she works so hard every day giving us life and food.
It is almost as if life is on pause when she is asleep, a very relaxing time. All the animals and creatures are resting too, there are none around. The birds safely nestled in the trees, the bears in their caves, the rabbits in their burrows. Even the dolphins...one of the most playful mammals are now cuddling with their families. All creatures except one! An animal named Agathos. You see....he never sleeps; he has a very special task he performs... He didn’t always though.
Once upon a time he was a mere horse, a shinny white one. He lived among many other horses up in the mountains. Very happy they spent their days grazing and roaming free. Agathos was especially curious & often would go off alone to explore the never-ending mountains and valleys. One day he traveled a bit too far. He came across a clearing. He knew where he was. Legends had long been told about this place. A dangerous place, where no horse should ever go. Why? They did not know.
Agathos stared at the clearing that was covered with wildflowers...purple, yellow, red and orange. “It sure would be wonderful to run among the flowers,” he thought. He ran and ran taking an occasional playful roll in the flowers. Such fun he had.
As he exited the clearing he came to this stone cottage with a thatched roof. It appeared old but almost glowed as if the sun was shining directly upon it. Next to it was a bubbling brook. Agathos was enchanted by this magnificent view. The sound of the brook was like music and he felt as if it was singing out to him to come near and drink it. He couldn’t resist. After all, he was thirsty after a long journey and rolling and playing among the flowers.
He began to walk closer and closer as if he was under a magical spell. As he kneeled down and was ready to drink the water a great big owl appeared flying out of the trees. “I know you are thirsty, but I would not drink that water if I were you,” said the owl. “Why not?” Agathos asked confused. “This brook belongs to Sam, a human. He has placed a magical spell over this place. If you drink the water you will no longer have your freedom. You will be forced to live here, in-caged in this little space, carrying Sam on your back to help him perform his daily tasks. You will be fed and taken care of but no longer roam free and wild.” “Runaway now,” the owl said. The words of the owl filled Agatho’s heart with fear but a voice within him told him to stay.
“I would like to meet this Sam and talk to him,” said Agathos. He could not understand why someone would want to capture another through trickery. The owl impressed by his bravery said: “You only need to walk into the cottage, Sam is in there.”
A little hesitant Agathos walked into the cottage. There stood a man with bright red hair. Sam was surprised and shocked at the horse’s entrance. Agathos looked at him straight into his eyes “Why have you enchanted the water to trick us into becoming yours?” he asked. “One day as I was on the roof laying more straw I slipped and fell. Since then my left leg has never mended completely. I need a horse to travel through the forest to gather food, to carry my things and help me perform my daily tasks and to keep me company. So I placed this spell." Agathos looked to the left and saw this pretty white thing. “What is that?” he asked. “That is a bridle. It is placed on the horse’s head so that I may ride it. Once it is placed on the horse, my partner he shall always be.”
The horse felt Sam’s pain and loneliness. Agathos could have run away at this moment, after all, all Sam needed to do was shut the door and place the bridle on him. “I have a better idea,” said Agathos. “Come with me and I shall take you to my herd. There are thousands of horses that roam these lands. I am sure there will be one that would want to live here with you, be fed, groomed and live in this beautiful place. You may place the bridle on me and I will take you, but you have to promise me that you will then let me go. I am meant to roam free, travel and explore the mountains.” The owl watched from the window. Agathos was taking a big risk but he somehow knew and trusted that he was making the right choice. Sam agreed and off they went.
They traveled long distances through beautiful forests, valleys, and mountain tops. Through the journey, Sam got to understand how Agathos loved to roam and be free. How happy that made him...this is who he was. He understood Agathos was not meant to be his horse.
They finally reached the herd and the herd gathered around them. Agathos explained to them Sam’s situation, how he needed some help and companionship and lived in a beautiful home. “Does anyone want to be Sam’s partner?” Immediately Frontida, a young light brown colored horse almost like honey stepped up with tears in her eyes. “Whenever I would hear stories of humans and horses, babbling brooks, and homes I would feel an aching in my heart. I wished I could be one of those horses. It’s always been my dream. I would love to be your helper, Sam.”
Sam was greatly touched by Frondida’s words. “Thank you,” he said with tears rolling down his eyes. He realized what a mistake he had made and learned an important lesson. That he cannot take anything with force it is wrong. All he had to do was to ask, there was no need for trickery. Sam then took the bridle off of Agathos and placed it on Frontida and off they went where they lived a beautiful and long life.
The owl impressed by Agatho’s kind and loving heart and bravery gave him wings so that he may travel as far as he could ever want and so that he may share his gift of a loving heart with other humans so that they may learn to live with horses in a peaceful and loving way, making one of the most beautiful partnerships the world has ever seen.
Since then he has been known as the winged horse.
Agathos (αγαθός) means one of a pure heart.
Frontida (φροντίδα) means caring.

Pathos: The Panther
Once upon a time, there was silence among the rainforest, it was covered in mist. Among the mist, two green eyes appeared…that of a black panther. The panther quietly walked looking around and wondering why the rainforest was so silent today. He was apprehensive. The mist carried his essence, he felt comfortable in it. He enjoyed it…he was part of it. So it was not the mist that disturbed him it was how suddenly all sound vanished, not even one bird was chirping. He was not afraid but felt cautiousness; maybe he was always a little too cautious, suspicious. This was before he discovered who he was.
He usually wandered around the rainforest alone watching every footstep he made. That’s why he really enjoyed the mist because he remained hidden from life. He remained in solitude conversing only if he had to. He especially loved the moon; he would spend hours gazing at the moon.
On that day where everything stood still it was almost as if someone had pushed a button and all life, everything froze. He was serious and felt uneasy. He then heard a whisper “Pathos,” echo three times. The mist cleared a little enough to see a small brown frog with green dots on it. The frog whispered that word again. “What is pathos?” asked the panther. “That is what you hold in your heart,” answered the frog. “What does that mean?” he asked. “It means passion,” said the frog. One that holds pathos shares and invokes the passion in others, whether it be passion for life, adventure, strength, or anything else. You can awaken that in others, it is your gift. It is what drives you, what moves you…what guides you through life.
“I don’t have that,” said the panther. ‘You do” said the frog, “you are just keeping it hidden, you have not embraced it yet.” “Hhhhmmmm…” said the panther with his normal suspicious attitude. The frog croaked and croaked laughing along. “Come with me,” he said. “Let go, relax. Hop with me!” “I don’t hop, I am a panther.” “So what? You can do anything you want,” responded the frog. “Hhhmmm,” said the panther. “Just try it,” said the frog. So the panther hoped. “Well it is kind of fun,” he said. So he hoped again. He began to hop with the frog in the lake and soon forgot about how cautious he had to be. He was too busy hoping along feeling the drops of water splashing over him…until he was completely drenched. But he did not care. The more he let go the more he felt free.
He began to feel all sorts of emotions! Stillness, happiness, joy, humor, mystery, playfulness, guilt, fear, sadness anxiety, hurt – this made him stop. It was almost as though all feelings kept inside him were been released and floating away. “It is ok,” said the frog. “All feelings and emotions are good, as long as you do not keep them hidden, they are all beautiful. A tear then came down the panther’s left eye. He felt relief…then came another tear down his right eye..and another and another. It began to rain. At first, his tears were that of sadness but soon…they became tears of joy. The rain cleared away the rainforest pouring and pouring with thunder and lightning.
“This is your true self.” said the frog “thunder and lightning.” It rained and rained until the sun came out. The rainforest was as alive as ever. The birds chirping, the tree’s branches speaking through the wind, the monkeys leaping from tree to tree…occasionally annoying each other. The panther’s tears had become the rain, washing away all emotions to bring in new life. With the rain the plants grew, the trees and animals drank and new flowers grew.
“Always follow the rain’s example,” said the frog.
From that day on the panther embraced his pathos which occasionally now and again would bring the shedding of tears, bringing new life to the rainforest.
Pathos (πάθος) means passion.
Kaimi: The Cougar
Once upon a time, there was these pair of shoes...ancient, and mystic. A pair of shoes you say? Yes. But they were unlike any others. Beneath these skin colored moccasins lay a symbol, a secret symbol that reveals a story. One of bravery, mockery, endeavors.
It goes like this...once upon a time, there was a cougar named Kaimi. Kaimi roamed free, upon the mountains, spending his time running, climbing, playing, exploring. Such a beautiful life he had. He especially liked this particular cave deep in the mountains. A cave decorated in magnificent flowstones, stalactites, stalagmites,and helictites.
He loved it so much that he would visit it daily. As he entered he would take a deep breath and breathe in that refreshing air and sigh in content. Every cell in his body would tingle in joy as he knew an adventure lay ahead. Admiring the stalactites, and stalagmites how they changed each day, their shapes transforming the landscape, constantly moving and changing...this cave was huge! It was endless. Kaimi knew there was something special about it.
This was Kaimi’s favorite thing to do, to explore the cave’s crevices. He would take different paths each day. Sometimes he would come across water, which meant play time as he would jump up and down, splashing the drops high in the air all over the crystals and stalagmites accentuating their beauty...so that they almost looked like they were shinning. He had even made friends with the bats that dwelled in the cave. Sometimes if it became a little dark they would direct him, telling him which way to go so he could never get lost no matter how far he ventured.
There was one bat, in particular, he was really good friends with,...Oread. Oread enjoyed exploring the cave with Kaimi too, so they began to explore the cave day after day together with enthusiasm in their hearts at what they would find. Each day sprang a new surprise. Oh, the things they would find! Once they even found some ancient carvings on the stones from early ancestors, another they found ancient coins, somehow this cave every day presented them with the gift of finding something new. Whether that was a strange looking flower, a rectangularly shaped insect with colors unlike what you have ever seen, an oddly shaped crystal. There was always a new discovery!
One day they went further down the right side of the cave then they had ever been. Oread stopped and said: “You know Kaimi, have you ever noticed that this cave is never completely dark? It is unlike other caves. Here wherever and no matter how far we roam it seems to light up just enough so that we can always see. Almost as if someone is turning on a switch every time we pass through.” “Hhhhmmm…” said Kaimi. “You’re right.” He walked in silence for a little while but soon was distracted by the stunning colors of the stones. In front of them were two ways they could go. “Which way?”Asked Oread. Kaimi looked to the right and saw a red iridescent color. “Let’s go this way.” He answered.
As they went down the path the red became brighter and brighter, until they were immersed within the red light energy. They could not see past the red light it was so bright. As they entered what appeared like a room the brightness lessened. “Where is that coming from?” said Kaimi. He looked around and on the wall saw an image of these shoes. They were moccasins. He tilted his head to the side in curiosity as to what could those shoes be. Slowly, slowly he drew closer to the wall. They were lit up, however, there was movement above and around them...a gold energy making circular movements. Kaimi was hypnotized.
Suddenly red color started pouring out of the shoes drawing a symbol. Kaimi continued to look in silence and taking a few steps closer so that he was nearly touching the wall. The symbol began to swirl around his head...then moving around his whole body. He stood in perfect stillness with closed eyes. He felt serene, tranquil, happy...Encircled by a red/golden energy. It felt as though it was part of him, almost as if discovering a part of himself, reuniting. The symbol then made its way to his heart and entered his body becoming part of his heart. That moment he saw an image! He then jumped back and opened his eyes, surprised and the shoes slowly slowly faded away.
Oread flew over to him landing on a beautiful emerald green rock above him. “What did you see?” she asked him. Kaimi with a smile on his face and sparkles in his eyes said: “time to go.” They exited the room & as they turned around it disappeared. The room was no longer. Kaimi turned to Oread and said “I know now what we shall name this cave? “Oh reeeaaalllyyy? What would that be?” said Oread. “The Answer To Your Dreams.” Oread smiled with happiness in her eyes. A green light began to surround her and she slowly vanished. Kaimi was sad to see her go but he knew somehow, somewhere he would be meeting her again.
He exited “The Answer to Your Dreams” feeling grateful for all the experiences he had had and knowing it was the last time he would be exploring and seeing this cave. He said thank you and uttered one of the gentlest and most musical roars you have ever heard.
What did Kaimi see that day? Well that my friend....that...is another story.
Kaimi means seeker.
Oreads (ορειάδες) are the nymphs of the mountains and caves.
A Piece of Me

“Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.”
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
I had been a hypnotherapist for many years. I have enjoyed this aspect, with all its delights with great results, empowering individuals to discover the beauty they behold within themselves. It has always been my passion yet, I felt the need to go beyond....
I had wonderful results, but the fact remained, that it did not light my heart or match what I felt inside. What gave me a feeling of joy were my photographs, writings, dancing, and anything that sparked my creativity. This seemed to always give people others much happiness too when I shared these qualities. It touched their lives in a special way. Even though all I was doing was simply expressing myself, and my joy for life. I felt I was on to something.
“Don't forget that your spirit-twinkle makes life's rainbow shine bright.”
~Terri Guillemets
I never followed a specific process. I was never content with following someone else’s method, reason for I found everyone to be unique and not just one method applied to all individuals. Thus I was able to be free in giving what was really indeed needed, which was different in every situation I encountered. I found myself breaking boundaries and always going beyond to individualize my services to best suit everyone’s quest. I charted new waters and carved new paths constantly, guided by my intuition and inner knowing.
I always had a child’s perspective of the world. I viewed it through eyes of wonder, excitement, fascination, and like a big grand adventure! I kept away from the mainstream way of life and created my own voyage and as long as I was being myself it always worked out perfectly like magic! My life was magical. If I were to write a book of all my experiences and adventures it sure would be filled with the most fascinating stories! I was told time after time that I am too innocent, sensitive, and like a fairy. I often heard “you are in your own world,” and “the world isn’t that way!” Even so, I thought it sure is a fun one though!
“In response to those who say to stop dreaming and face reality, I say keep dreaming and make reality.”

One day I met a special individual. Out of nowhere I felt I must write a story for this person and give it to him. It ended up being a fairy tale! I had only written children’s stories a couple of times before this in my life. I had planned on writing a book with fairy tales at some point in the future but as we put things off for another day. I thought “well I will do it when I get pregnant with my child, one day." It all began a lot sooner with the fairy tale story I gifted to this special individual.
Shortly after a light turned on inside me! After having great fun with two new friends and feeling so happy, I felt I would like to write a story for them too to show my gratitude for having them in my life. At that moment it sparked the inspiration in me to write stories for individuals I cross paths with, and this is when my series of books were inspired and my journey with fairy tales began.
Sometime after I went into the forest for a few days alone. Breathing in my essence of great calm and having a blast I began writing my fairy tale stories. My journey began, as I embarked writing a story each day.

The Process
“I love not knowing where it will lead when I write my fairy tales, what the next moment will bring. You never know where the story will go, how it will begin and there is simply no need to. It is exciting, unknown, spontaneous, the same way I view life.”
-Gaia Giakalli
-Gaia Giakalli
It is with my intuition that this unique process takes place and begins to flow. I allow whatever comes to me. The story usually begins with an animal that represents them in their life. Sometimes I do not see an animal but an element of nature, or something else. It is individual to each person. Many times it involves a second animal or more, that has something to teach them, show them, or perhaps the hidden beauty within them. When finished I look up the symbolism of the animals and I find they correlate beautifully. Some of the stories are messages, clues, hidden aspects of themselves, and other times it is simply inspired by them. Some people are close to me, others played an important role in my life, and others are strangers that I feel connected to or simply they have something beautiful to contribute.
With writing these stories I have once again discovered my new found joy. It feels like home. It is my favorite thing to do. I could do it forever! It is me being me and my gift.
"The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are."
~Jim Morrison
I have created a list of people which is never ending, of course, I would like to write stories for, which will be included in my books. Also as I meet strangers along the way I enjoy writing for them too. I found that I had the ability to tune into people’s core, especially people I do not know, thus resulting in witnessing their inner beauty they possessed hidden deep down inside. As I wrote the stories I discovered it was my own way of assisting others in seeing the beauty within them as I shared my beauty within me. I realized this is my own tool, for empowering people and reconnecting them to their beautiful self. My innocent, loving, childlike, spirit is able to be fully expressed. It is a fun, adventurous, way of providing people with the messages their body requires of understanding just how wonderful they are.
And that is how I got branded as a Modern Day Greek Mythologist and a whole new path of being me began… and turning it into one of the services I provide.
Writing these fairy tales has been a beautiful journey. It always fascinates me to see what animals or elements of nature, comes forth for each person. What story, lesson, and teaching. It has opened me up as well to the beauty and amazingness that exists within everyone. Sometimes I am surprised at what comes about I never doubt or judge it, I just allow it to flow. Every now and then, I do not even understand what it means but it does not matter, I do not try to because the true meaning is only known to the person I am writing it for.
