Gina St. Aubin
Originally from northern California, Gina St. Aubin and her family moved to the east coast where she lived for almost 20 years before relocating to Colorado where she currently resides with her family.
In 1997, Gina graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology, minoring in Criminal Justice from Metropolitan State College of Denver. During college, she began working with troubled, adjudicated and emotionally disturbed youth, which continued post-graduation. After moving into Juvenile Probation, Gina eventually chose a career in Victim Advocacy in Lakewood, Colorado.
Gina’s eldest son was born in 2003 and was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy 9 months later. In a matter of months, she and her husband recognized the amount of care their son would need directly from them, ending her career in Victim Advocacy. His diagnosis’ include Cerebral Palsy, Autism, Landau-Kleffner Syndrome, Sensory Processing Disorder and Developmental Delays.
Two additional children born in 2006 and 2008 have helped the St. Aubin family grow. They currently take in their surroundings in a cul-de-sac in Douglas County, Colorado. Under a pseudo name, Gina writes about raising a special needs child, their family adventures, the chaos of motherhood, loss of identity, and finding balance, as well as other stories, thoughts, frustrations, and triumphs so no person feels isolated in their own journey.
