Giordana Toccaceli promotes mysoginist propaganda. Simple as that.
If you are not soft, feminine, loving, humble and don't take any initiative, you will get a guy to like you. Also, you must avoid setting your expectations about you and a man you are dating being exclusive (not being with other people) and you should not disagree with him about anything for a long period of time in order to lure him in.
Also, according to this scammer, you MUST have a man funnel, meaning that even if you find someone you like you should still have a hoard of men you are dating at the same time on a regular basis. When girls on her group express that they don't want to date other men if they date a guy they really like, they are subjected to passive aggression and bullying by brainwashed followers who explain to those girls that they are Low Value.
Her fans and clients write like they are literally brainwashed, starting every sentence with "Gio says you should not", "Gio teaches us that we have to" and if some women try to kindly oppose Gio's teachings and develope a constructive debate, they are scrutinized and their posts are often deleted.
For example, the other day this poor girl wrote a post about a date rape. Guy forced her to do things that she didn't want to and he performed an extremely agressive sexual act upon her, which made her cry. She is a follower, and instead reporting that man, she came to the group asking how she can break up with him in a High Value way (this High Value rule is the number one priority and it doesn't allow women any kind of confrontation or stronger disagreement with a man).
Most of the followers called her out explaining to her that it was her fault for not manifesting High Value behaviour and that her behaviour is the reason she got herself into this situation (being date raped).
Also, they advised her to end that in a High Value way, explaining to that sexual predator that "She wishes him all the best (????), but that she believes they are not a good match (????)".
Some women disagreed and posted with empathy, claiming that it's not her fault and that she should report him or confront him verbally about what he has done to her. A lot of women liked these empowering post and agreed, but guess what happened? Those posts were deleted by Gio's page managers.
I don't think it can get worse than that.
She is always bragging about her famous and rich clients, yet noone ever heard any testimonials or recommendations from those alleged superstar clients.
Among other crazy stuff, she teaches women that a High Value men are those who are accomplished fully, pay for absolutely everything, buy them everything, don't show any kind of weakness often using the term Alpha High Value, putting all those "regular" guys in a Beta Low Value category.
There are many crazy things in her teachings, but one of the most mentioned is "leaning back". Basically that means a woman should never approach a man, if he doesn't contact her she should not contact him and in a regular steady conversations he should contact her 80% of the time, and she is allowed 20% or less. He is the one suggesting dates, time, place and organise and pay for it all.
Goldigger 101, I'd say.
It's not about love, it's not about being authentic human it's all about market value.
Giving the fact that this scammer and her fans are putting down aggressively all the other women who even dare to question or even slightly disagree with her "teachings", it's quite obvious what are we dealing with here.
Oh, yes, also: according to this "coach" if a guy is dating you and he likes you and you like him too, but he tells you early in the process (untill 6+ months) that he is uncomfortable with you dating other men from your man funnel (that term is eww), you shouldn't date him anymore, because he is a Low Value man. (????)
Stay away from this probably mentally unhealthy persona and her teachings, especially if you are post breakup or experience some issues in your current relatinship, because she will make you feel worthless for trying ti fix it in any other way than basically ignoring it until a man decides what he wants. And until then, you should go and date plenty of others. (???)
This is not humiliating only for women, but for men too.
so all the celeb clients are phantom clients. She's a former broke wellness coach, she got coached by Katarina Phang, got engaged to her EUM then decided to follow her suit by becoming a coach herself by copying 90% of Katarina's teachings then blocked her on FB. That's how much integrity she has.
I agree with this report above. As someone who has bought her year long programs and been a member of her facebook group "high value woman: become irresistible to quality men", i have been on the receiving end of her scammy business practices. I joined her efw institute and i wish i never did. I should have known when there was only one payment option of $3,500, but i was feeling desperate at the time. I got sucked in and joined up. The institute was not what i thought it would be and when i realised i didn't want to continue with it, she point blank refused to refund me my money. That's my $3500, and a large portion of my savings, gone.
On top of that, her recent actions in the group have shown her for the fraud that she is. She falsely claims in her group that she has "been teaching women to be irresistible to men" for 10 years screen shot attached).
I've looked her up and i've found that that's a lie. She admitted being broke as a health coach 2 years ago, and she's done interviews online on "steps to build a 6 figure per month business" admitting that she started only 2.5 years ago, when seeing that other "people had great success in the relationship niche". And not only does she have no proper website, she only started her facebook group where most her clients are) 2 years ago! i have screenshots of her claims in this "interview", and i'll attach them here.
To prove how much of a fraud she is, recently she appears to have stepped down as owner of her own group and transferred ownership of her own facebook group to another lady with the name of "mentor" instead of herself. This on top of her changing her name to "gio tocca" after she got the scamion to further scam women and then back again to giordana toccaceli. And she's created pseudo-websites like "giordanatoccacelireviews.com" and "giordanatoccacelitestimonials.com" as a way to cover up these scam reports.
She spend a lot of time bragging and telling lies about her business. It was a huge red flag when i started to notice that she deletes a lot of her own posts on social media. The original manipulative post that the other customer attached in their scamion has also been deleted from her group.
I happen to follow a few other coaches in the dating relationship space and i’ve noticed more and more that she literally copies the work of other coaches and then tries to pass it off as her own.
Even gio herself has admitted to having bipolar, is that why she’s such a snarky liar?
There are plenty of other coaches out there, stay away from this one.
Gio bases her entire business model on making women feel worthless and bad about themselves as they are to shame them into staying with her and learning from her. She positions herself as the "answer” on a pedestal whom you must pay to make your love life better. This should be illegal and I am looking into legal services against her as well. What she does, how she treats human beings is the equivalent of a personal trainer picking out the fattest person in the gym and telling them how disgusting and worthless they are and shaming and bulleying them into paying for training services. Telling them they will amount to nothing without their services. It’s really poor behavior and should again be made illegal. I can’t believe she is still getting away with this and am continuing to work on getting this resolved. Gio and her reps are not open to any sort of communication or mediation. Do not give them a cent because you will never get it back. She has little class or maturity to be calling herself a "consultant.” She has never been trained in business ethics whatsoever; just saying whatever she wants whenever she wants on the internet and hurting actual real vulnerable women in the process. She is way too naive and on her high horse to show any genuine compassion or caring towards others yet she calls herself a coach. She wants your money, point blank and will say and do the most insidious things to get it. Her business morals are nonexistent. I do not feel safe or supported being apart of her groups and programs, but she makes you feel like you are the problem and that she Gio almighty will fix you and make you right and that you can never leave her, yet she’ll say to 'just leave then,’ as a tactic. It’s subversive cult-leader programming at its finest and as a survivor of trauma bonding abuse, I just need to warn others that this is dangerous behavior. Please please please save yourself the grievances and wrongdoing at Giordana’s hands and stay away from her at the very get-go before she pulls you in and drains your confidence, well-being, self-worth and financial resources leeching you to her as the end all be all. Thank you.
Giodana Toccacedli Gio Tocca, Embodied Feminine Institute Harm under the guise of increased femininity. A psychologist's perspective.
If you look over online content of Giordanna Toccaceli you will not see someone promoting equality in healthy mature relationships.
Concerning points:
1: It's always the woman's fault.
If a man behaves badly, if he uses a woman, if he treats her with disrespect, or even if he ghosts her... then she was too needy, she was too mothering, she emasculated him, she was behaving in a 'low value' way, or she wasn't embodying her femininity enough.
She killed his desire. It is, essentially, her fault.
She should have been able to keep his interest, create continual attraction to her, and keep him in her circle of men she is dating.
The only way to solve this, in Giodana's world, is to increase her 'feminitity' or conduct herself in a more 'high value' way.
(There is a disproportionate amount of blame placed on the woman with little to no responsibility placed on her male partner.)
2: Women are subservient to men.
Giodanna states that when her partner comes home, she greets him at the door with a kiss, she then leaves him alone until he comes to her, when he comes to her -- he may want sex or food. She then gives him what he wants.
He takes care of the dinner reservations, travel plans and paying of bills. She is responsible for the house being clean, the meals being ready at home... etc.
There is nothing wrong with traditional roles and norms if that is what authentically appeals to someone but, the idea that a household should function around a man's needs (in an almost 1960s style way of thinking) is very concerning.
It is implied that if a woman does not conduct herself in this way -- the man won't feel valued or respected -- and will loose interest in her.
He will cheat or leave. (Once again, his behavior is her fault.)
While women are allowed to created consequences for her partner, any healthy boundary setting is seen as creating an ultimatum which will push a man a way. (Women have very limited options in their responces to men under these methods.)
3: She attempts to diagnose mental health issues -- with no background in mental health.
This may be the most concerning. A quick search on Facebook shows she loosely throws around psychological gargon with no more than a pop-culture type of understanding of the words she is using.
She conveys that she can help people that is is not qualified to help.
She is quick to call someone a narc or co-dependent, especially people who operate under a different worldview than her own.
4: If you don't hire her, you are screwed.
She conveys that a woman will be without love, alone forever, or in a mediocre relationship if she doesn't pay Giordanna.
She is manipulative in her marketing; She is conniving and cold-hearted as she attempts to call people out who disagree with her (under the guise of educating others); She is dangerous to the self-esteem and well being of women.
A good friend who is very involved in the personal development space (she is a coach herself) shared this with a group of mental health professionals that I am a part of:
It is commonly understood in the online coaching space that many women who work with 'Gio' end up seeking other relationship coaches. They leave feeling damaged, abandoned, and confused when it comes to romantic relationships.
They feel they are not good enough, can't be themselves, and are often trying to figure out how to be more feminine.
My friend has the impression that lot of these women are afraid to share their experience when it comes to Gio and her 'institute'.
On one hand... Giordanna seemed to explain concepts when it comes to the dynamics between men and women and regarding love relationship that many people relate to. While may have somewhat of a knack for identifying patterns in romantic relationships...
What I'm hearing over and over, unfortunately, is that she does much more harm than good.
I first searched "Giordana toccaceli reviews" a few days ago, and I now wish I did that earlier.
I have purchased Gio's "Attraction Killers" ebook and have been a part of her pathetic facebook group for 2 years, and whilst at first I thought her teaching seemed good, I realised more and more that it's all fluff, and she has no idea what she is talking about. Her attraction killers book was gimmicky, just like all her other programs. She kept going on about feminine energy and leaning back, but there's no substantial, practical and science-backed steps to help you actually attract good men.
When I first joined her group, I was hopeful as she posts all these success photos and stories of her clients who apparently got engaged, and she posts photos of women's hands with a ring on them, but after a while they started to seem phoney. So I talked to a couple of the other members who agreed that these photos are actually fake and/or provided to her by her fellow coaching buddies!
She claims that she has a business and a team, but it's all a lie. She not only doesn't act like a proper business woman, the people she claims are her 'team" are not really her employees - they are fellow women wanting to make a buck through coaching online!!
These women all huddle together, agreeing to help each other look popular and successful as relationship coaches. They are a network and none of them actually run a real business.
I feel silly for buying anything from her. She is a sociopath - she doesn't actually care about the women in the group, and she writes weird posts that are obviously just content stolen and copied from other coaches, with terrible grammar, unfinished sentences and overall phoney words. She not only never credits any of these people that she steals her words and content from, she actually has no real "methodology" of her own like she claims she does.
She is draconian, telling her members to never discuss or post the work of other coaches, all the while she steals from them and fakes looking like she is successful! I also noticed something weird - she will post one kind of advice for months, and then backtrack on what she said months down the track. She is nothing but a charlatan, looking to seem popular, successful and take your money. She never refunded me for her "attraction killers" books, either. I am lucky compared to the other poster here who never got her $3,500 back! The book I bought was cheap.
Bottom line is this woman doesn't care about you, the women of her group, or about doing good, honest business. She will lie just to make herself look good - just like a typical sociopathic cult leader.
Stay away from this woman. Go to a counsellor or a friend, who would probably do a better job than her.
Thank you for this I almost signed up. I feel I have been brainwashed these last few years and there are a few other coaches like her that teach the same thing. I think one should look for a few coaches before signing in to anyone. Thank you all once again.
I was a member of the Embodied Woman group, gladly never actually paid for the services. I left a comment on one of her posts simply saying that it would be good to see more posts of what makes a low value man as I felt the page caused a cycle of women blaming themselves. I got 3 likes on that comment before I was deleted from the page!!! So my instinct was right, it is designed to make women feel bad about themselves! Don't join the page, don't buy her services. Very disappointing that someone who says they are there to help women is actually aiming to make them feel worse to make money off them!
Giordana toccaceli of the embodied feminine woman institute has desperately tried to avoid dealing with her many scam reports. i left an honest report as a former employee of hers, and not only did she avoid responding to the report as a legitimate business person, she avoided all accountability on the matter, and after 2 or more long years of the report being up, it has been removed.
Instead of addressing my concern like all decent companies do, she simply got a couple of women from her clan to do her dirty work for her. This including a woman she called her employee “serena hayes” Whose response has now also been deleted), to leave comments accusing me and other previous customers of being in the wrong.
Well, since she couldn’t deal with the truth, and even had my report removed, i’ll say what i said briefly again. Don’t say i didn’t warn you about her.
I am a former employee who worked with giordana Or gio tocca) as she briefly changed her name to, and she needs serious mental and psychological support. She is a self admitted bipolar disordered woman.
She is very difficult to work for! she’s prone to flying off the handle, unable to deal with everyday issues, making everything about herself. Everyone else is wrong except her.
She doesn’t deal with problems in the way that good people do.
Now take a look at her response to all these Scamion and scam reports she has received since she started her facebook group Where she hides out).
She dealt with them by trying desperately to cover them up in search engines by making her websites “giordanatoccacelireviews.com”, giordanatoccacelitestimonials.com, and embodiedfemininewomaninstitutereviews.com
I am appalled that she is still dealing with these scam reports in this way...And i suspect she may now try to delete a couple of those websites to avoid detection too. She has had no accountability for the way she has treated her past members whom she hasn’t refunded, and for the clients that she has hurt and damaged.
I have a screenshot of one of her old group posts whereby she claimed to be paying a bunch of masters to “check” the credibility of her work, and how this makes her so much more accountable than all the other relationship coaches out there.
I’ve attached the screenshot, so you can read this madness for yourself. It reads like the words of a deranged and desperate business owner.
I’ll say it again. Giordana needs help. This is not a woman who should be helping others. She is a woman who needs help herself, before her shady practices and avoidance of accountability continue to damage more women out there.
Stop running and riding from your scamion giordana toccaceli. Have some accountability.

Trust your intuition! Don't sign up for her program
I'm very grateful I found this page! Her program is now $4,000 and I am so glad I trusted my intuition and did not sign up. I was lured in by her interviews on YouTube, and I noticed that she is constantly interrupting her guests. That's not a good sign!! Thank you for writing these reviews! Trust your intuition and draw upon your inner wisdom whenever you're searching for answers. I believe we all have the answers within us. Turning to your own inner wisdom is always a good idea!
If I could give this woman zero stars I would. Please don't buy any of her products or waste $4,000 on the Embodied Feminine Institute. She has absolutely no credentials whatsoever to give dating and life skills advice. I was a member of her Facebook group for 2 years and I learned a great deal from the women who contributed but nothing from Gio. She and her "mentors" believe High Value men step up and pay for everything, buy you expensive gifts and take you on exotic vacations. It's sickening. She had a post recently where she asked for feedback on how a man would react to a woman after he broke up with her. Gio gave certain choices that of course included signing up for her program and becoming this radiant feminine man magnet. My response was to consider another perspective. Maybe the problem wasn't the woman, maybe the man needed to do some inner work to stop self sabotaging behaviors. Maybe her energy didn't matter because she wasn't the problem. Maybe he had to do the work. Gio immediately responded by telling me to follow the guidelines and then kicked me out of the group. Unbelievable. She is neither kind, supportive, inclusive or tolerant of any opinion other than her own. Beware. Stay clear it's a scam, and she blames women with her sick methodology.
Giodana Toccaceli is a fraud. Please understand that first and foremost. If I could give her a zero I would. She is mean and spiteful and don't be fooled by the "you are always loved" signature she uses on her site. She has absolutely no qualifications to be a dating coach beyond ripping off someone else's ideas. Her belief system is for men to be high value they must pay for everything, buy you expensive gifts and take you on great vacations. Women are to be accommodating, receptive and exude feminine energy. If a man breaks up with you, you must embody the feminine goddess and buy her coaching service for 4K to get him back. Never mind the man could be the problem. If you don't agree with any part of her dogma and post your respectful thoughts on her page she will kick out of her group. She is soul crushing and uses vulnerable women for financial gain. I don't know who these fabulous clients are but on her site all of the "women" who buy her services within months are engaged to rich, successful men who spend lavishly on them. Please don't fall for this garbage. Find a good therapist, supportive women, practice self healing, read and break your own toxic patterns. Gio Tocca as she is also known is as toxic as the patterns she wants you to spend 4K to break.

She should have been able to keep his interest, create continual attraction to her, and keep him in her circle of men she is dating.
The only way to solve this, in Giodana's world, is to increase her 'feminitity' or conduct herself in a more 'high value' way.
(There is a disproportionate amount of blame placed on the woman with little to no responsibility placed on her male partner.)
2: Women are subservient to men.
Giodanna states that when her partner comes home, she greets him at the door with a kiss, she then leaves him alone until he comes to her, when he comes to her -- he may want sex or food. She then gives him what he wants.
He takes care of the dinner reservations, travel plans and paying of bills. She is responsible for the house being clean, the meals being ready at home... etc.
There is nothing wrong with traditional roles and norms if that is what authentically appeals to someone but, the idea that a household should function around a man's needs (in an almost 1960s style way of thinking) is very concerning.
It is implied that if a woman does not conduct herself in this way -- the man won't feel valued or respected -- and will loose interest in her.
He will cheat or leave. (Once again, his behavior is her fault.)
While women are allowed to created consequences for her partner, any healthy boundary setting is seen as creating an ultimatum which will push a man a way. (Women have very limited options in their responces to men under these methods.)
3: She attempts to diagnose mental health issues -- with no background in mental health.
This may be the most concerning. A quick search on Facebook shows she loosely throws around psychological gargon with no more than a pop-culture type of understanding of the words she is using.
She conveys that she can help people that is is not qualified to help.
She is quick to call someone a narc or co-dependent, especially people who operate under a different worldview than her own.
4: If you don't hire her, you are screwed.
She conveys that a woman will be without love, alone forever, or in a mediocre relationship if she doesn't pay Giordanna.
She is manipulative in her marketing; She is conniving and cold-hearted as she attempts to call people out who disagree with her (under the guise of educating others); She is dangerous to the self-esteem and well being of women.
A good friend who is very involved in the personal development space (she is a coach herself) shared this with a group of mental health professionals that I am a part of:
It is commonly understood in the online coaching space that many women who work with 'Gio' end up seeking other relationship coaches. They leave feeling damaged, abandoned, and confused when it comes to romantic relationships.
They feel they are not good enough, can't be themselves, and are often trying to figure out how to be more feminine.
My friend has the impression that lot of these women are afraid to share their experience when it comes to Gio and her 'institute'.
On one hand... Giordanna seemed to explain concepts when it comes to the dynamics between men and women and regarding love relationship that many people relate to. While may have somewhat of a knack for identifying patterns in romantic relationships...
What I'm hearing over and over, unfortunately, is that she does much more harm than good.
Gio is a sociopath!
I first searched "Giordana toccaceli reviews" a few days ago, and I now wish I did that earlier.
I have purchased Gio's "Attraction Killers" ebook and have been a part of her pathetic facebook group for 2 years, and whilst at first I thought her teaching seemed good, I realised more and more that it's all fluff, and she has no idea what she is talking about. Her attraction killers book was gimmicky, just like all her other programs. She kept going on about feminine energy and leaning back, but there's no substantial, practical and science-backed steps to help you actually attract good men.
When I first joined her group, I was hopeful as she posts all these success photos and stories of her clients who apparently got engaged, and she posts photos of women's hands with a ring on them, but after a while they started to seem phoney. So I talked to a couple of the other members who agreed that these photos are actually fake and/or provided to her by her fellow coaching buddies!
She claims that she has a business and a team, but it's all a lie. She not only doesn't act like a proper business woman, the people she claims are her 'team" are not really her employees - they are fellow women wanting to make a buck through coaching online!!
These women all huddle together, agreeing to help each other look popular and successful as relationship coaches. They are a network and none of them actually run a real business.
I feel silly for buying anything from her. She is a sociopath - she doesn't actually care about the women in the group, and she writes weird posts that are obviously just content stolen and copied from other coaches, with terrible grammar, unfinished sentences and overall phoney words. She not only never credits any of these people that she steals her words and content from, she actually has no real "methodology" of her own like she claims she does.
She is draconian, telling her members to never discuss or post the work of other coaches, all the while she steals from them and fakes looking like she is successful! I also noticed something weird - she will post one kind of advice for months, and then backtrack on what she said months down the track. She is nothing but a charlatan, looking to seem popular, successful and take your money. She never refunded me for her "attraction killers" books, either. I am lucky compared to the other poster here who never got her $3,500 back! The book I bought was cheap.
Bottom line is this woman doesn't care about you, the women of her group, or about doing good, honest business. She will lie just to make herself look good - just like a typical sociopathic cult leader.
Stay away from this woman. Go to a counsellor or a friend, who would probably do a better job than her.
Thank you!
Thank you for this I almost signed up. I feel I have been brainwashed these last few years and there are a few other coaches like her that teach the same thing. I think one should look for a few coaches before signing in to anyone. Thank you all once again.
Designed to make you feel bad about yourself
I was a member of the Embodied Woman group, gladly never actually paid for the services. I left a comment on one of her posts simply saying that it would be good to see more posts of what makes a low value man as I felt the page caused a cycle of women blaming themselves. I got 3 likes on that comment before I was deleted from the page!!! So my instinct was right, it is designed to make women feel bad about themselves! Don't join the page, don't buy her services. Very disappointing that someone who says they are there to help women is actually aiming to make them feel worse to make money off them!
Giordana toccaceli of the embodied feminine woman institute has desperately tried to avoid dealing with her many scam reports. i left an honest report as a former employee of hers, and not only did she avoid responding to the report as a legitimate business person, she avoided all accountability on the matter, and after 2 or more long years of the report being up, it has been removed.
Instead of addressing my concern like all decent companies do, she simply got a couple of women from her clan to do her dirty work for her. This including a woman she called her employee “serena hayes” Whose response has now also been deleted), to leave comments accusing me and other previous customers of being in the wrong.
Well, since she couldn’t deal with the truth, and even had my report removed, i’ll say what i said briefly again. Don’t say i didn’t warn you about her.
I am a former employee who worked with giordana Or gio tocca) as she briefly changed her name to, and she needs serious mental and psychological support. She is a self admitted bipolar disordered woman.
She is very difficult to work for! she’s prone to flying off the handle, unable to deal with everyday issues, making everything about herself. Everyone else is wrong except her.
She doesn’t deal with problems in the way that good people do.
Now take a look at her response to all these Scamion and scam reports she has received since she started her facebook group Where she hides out).
She dealt with them by trying desperately to cover them up in search engines by making her websites “giordanatoccacelireviews.com”, giordanatoccacelitestimonials.com, and embodiedfemininewomaninstitutereviews.com
I am appalled that she is still dealing with these scam reports in this way...And i suspect she may now try to delete a couple of those websites to avoid detection too. She has had no accountability for the way she has treated her past members whom she hasn’t refunded, and for the clients that she has hurt and damaged.
I have a screenshot of one of her old group posts whereby she claimed to be paying a bunch of masters to “check” the credibility of her work, and how this makes her so much more accountable than all the other relationship coaches out there.
I’ve attached the screenshot, so you can read this madness for yourself. It reads like the words of a deranged and desperate business owner.
I’ll say it again. Giordana needs help. This is not a woman who should be helping others. She is a woman who needs help herself, before her shady practices and avoidance of accountability continue to damage more women out there.
Stop running and riding from your scamion giordana toccaceli. Have some accountability.

Trust your intuition! Don't sign up for her program
I'm very grateful I found this page! Her program is now $4,000 and I am so glad I trusted my intuition and did not sign up. I was lured in by her interviews on YouTube, and I noticed that she is constantly interrupting her guests. That's not a good sign!! Thank you for writing these reviews! Trust your intuition and draw upon your inner wisdom whenever you're searching for answers. I believe we all have the answers within us. Turning to your own inner wisdom is always a good idea!
Gio Toccaceli Has Absolutely No Credentials
If I could give this woman zero stars I would. Please don't buy any of her products or waste $4,000 on the Embodied Feminine Institute. She has absolutely no credentials whatsoever to give dating and life skills advice. I was a member of her Facebook group for 2 years and I learned a great deal from the women who contributed but nothing from Gio. She and her "mentors" believe High Value men step up and pay for everything, buy you expensive gifts and take you on exotic vacations. It's sickening. She had a post recently where she asked for feedback on how a man would react to a woman after he broke up with her. Gio gave certain choices that of course included signing up for her program and becoming this radiant feminine man magnet. My response was to consider another perspective. Maybe the problem wasn't the woman, maybe the man needed to do some inner work to stop self sabotaging behaviors. Maybe her energy didn't matter because she wasn't the problem. Maybe he had to do the work. Gio immediately responded by telling me to follow the guidelines and then kicked me out of the group. Unbelievable. She is neither kind, supportive, inclusive or tolerant of any opinion other than her own. Beware. Stay clear it's a scam, and she blames women with her sick methodology.
No Qualifications and Toxic
Giodana Toccaceli is a fraud. Please understand that first and foremost. If I could give her a zero I would. She is mean and spiteful and don't be fooled by the "you are always loved" signature she uses on her site. She has absolutely no qualifications to be a dating coach beyond ripping off someone else's ideas. Her belief system is for men to be high value they must pay for everything, buy you expensive gifts and take you on great vacations. Women are to be accommodating, receptive and exude feminine energy. If a man breaks up with you, you must embody the feminine goddess and buy her coaching service for 4K to get him back. Never mind the man could be the problem. If you don't agree with any part of her dogma and post your respectful thoughts on her page she will kick out of her group. She is soul crushing and uses vulnerable women for financial gain. I don't know who these fabulous clients are but on her site all of the "women" who buy her services within months are engaged to rich, successful men who spend lavishly on them. Please don't fall for this garbage. Find a good therapist, supportive women, practice self healing, read and break your own toxic patterns. Gio Tocca as she is also known is as toxic as the patterns she wants you to spend 4K to break.
