Gaea began her career as a Financial Advisor in 2010. After welcoming her daughter in 2016, she realized that despite her professional success, something vital was missing: true freedom.
During nearly a decade at Edward Jones, Gaea gained invaluable experience managing finances, building meaningful client relationships, and discovering what she truly loved about financial advising. At the same time, she began to recognize that she wanted the freedom to build a practice that more fully reflected her values, vision, and the way she believed clients deserved to be served.
In 2019, Gaea took a leap of faith and transitioned her practice to an independent model, partnering with LPL Financial and creating Legacy One Financial. The move allowed her to build an aligned brand, intentionally shape her client community, and create a business centered around comprehensive financial guidance, authentic relationships, and a deeply personal approach to wealth.
That transition also gave Gaea the opportunity to build a company that reflects her own philosophy of Mind, Body, Spirit, and Money. She believes true abundance is created by nurturing all areas of life: strengthening the mind through positive self-talk, intentional thoughts, and visualization; caring for the body through movement, nourishment, and time in nature; and honoring the spirit through meditation, prayer, gratitude, meaningful connection, and practices that bring us back into alignment.
When these elements work together, Gaea believes we can begin to understand money differently—not simply as numbers on a page, but as something deeply personal and energetic, influenced by our experiences, beliefs, habits, and the stories we carry.
This philosophy became the foundation for Gaea’s first published book, Expanding Your Money Story, released in 2026. Part personal story, part financial guide, and part invitation to think differently about wealth, the book explores the connection between money, mindset, self-worth, energy, intentional financial planning, and creating a truly abundant life.
Gaea’s story and approach to business have also reached audiences beyond Legacy One Financial. She was featured in the Women in Power documentary by Inside Success TV, sharing her journey as a woman in financial services, entrepreneur, mother, and business owner—and the courage it took to redefine success on her own terms.
At the heart of everything Gaea does are her clients. Those who work with her know they can call her about more than their investment accounts. Whether they are navigating a major life transition, considering retirement, exploring a new opportunity, experiencing a mindset shift, or simply trying to make thoughtful decisions about their future, Gaea seeks to be both a trusted financial advisor and a supportive presence along the way.
Through her partnership with LPL Financial, Gaea has access to a broad range of investment and financial planning solutions, allowing her to tailor her approach to each client’s unique circumstances, goals, and vision for the future. She works with clients across the United States who value long-term relationships, thoughtful guidance, personal responsibility, and an abundant approach to life and wealth.
With 17 years of experience in financial services, Gaea remains committed to continually expanding her knowledge and staying engaged with an ever-changing investment landscape. She helps individuals, families, and business owners build customized investment strategies and comprehensive financial plans designed around not only where they are today, but where they ultimately want their lives to go.
Authenticity, transparency, gratitude, and connection are at the core of Gaea’s approach. She is especially passionate about working with growth-minded individuals who believe life is meant to be lived fully, who value alignment and intention, and who aren't afraid to dream bigger.
Above all, Gaea believes true wealth is about so much more than numbers. It is having the freedom to live a life of purpose, balance, connection, adventure, and fulfillment.
She is honored to walk alongside her clients as they expand their own money stories, align their financial lives with their values, and pursue their big, wild dreams...creating abundance not only for themselves, but for the generations that follow.
