For the sake of brevity I will be blunt. She is a con artist along with all her staff who enable the con to continue on! She is a liar & a thief. Documented & verified!
She has lawyers scurrying about the internet looking for people posting the truth about this organization. The problem with this tactic is the truth is your defense, it stands on its own. Something they know nothing about. Also, we have this concept in the USA called the 1st Amendment. We do have freedom speech and a duty to warn potential consumers about fraud. They enjoy & threaten with this word "dispargement" well if there is such concern why not conduct an ethical business. Now there is a novel thought!
I like to read restaurant reviews before visiting the establishment. I to want know if people report a good experience, good food, good service etc. There are reviews consisting of the good, bad & ugly. Imagine if these restaurants thought they could prevent the consumer from reporting their experience! So, here we go, off on a review of her coaching program & ethics!
She could very well be one of the best cons at present time. She speaks of being an Intern at the White House & working for Marianne Williamson. Interesting how nobody has ever seen a picture of this and she loves her own photos. Why is that? A little research will provide a plethora of reasons why it is only verbal exultations. I know several people who have interned at the White House. It is regarded as an honor and privilege. They use these photos in their marketing, however they are honest & legitimate businesses.
Her business plan is if you don't give her $10-20-30, 000 plus you obviously have money block issues or mom/dad issues. The solution to this dilemma: you are directed to cash out your 401k plan or even take out a 2nd mortgage on your home. Next step, give her this money so she can help fix your issues. She is not about empowering women but all about empowering & increasing her bank account only.
This is not to say that perhaps she was legitimate at some point. I hope she was, however she has become completed corrupted by GREED.
She has defrauded over 400 women worldwide who find it difficult to get restitution or they are fearful of repercussions from the organization. She has a habit of changing her agreement mid steam. Her program was advertised as in the process of being ICF accredited. Problem: She never applied! Documented! However, her story is she decided to FORGO ICF, as it was not in alignment with her coaching style! I bet it wasn't and the ICF will never have her scam as a certified course.
She operates in a thug like manner of threats & intimidation. Along with dispatching her "muscle" to physically intimidate women who express their less than satisfactory experience with her so called coaching. That is her brand of women empowerment!
Yes, she is good! But so was Bernie Madoff. Look where he resides now.
Any honest & reputable business person will not want to be associated with this person. It will fall just like every other con man (women) in history. A matter of time.
My absolute favorite part about this con is how she invokes her "Spirituality" The word CHARLATAN comes to mind. I do hope she keeps a sharp eye above her head, as lightening bolts may be on the way. She is just a simple girl from Detroit with dreams, she has crafted an incredible STORY. It will be interesting to watch the implosion on its way. She is no Esther.
Hello,
My name is Victoria Edwards and I'm a freelance journalist writing a story about Gina Devee and her coaching services. It sounds like the services were not as they were advertised, would you be interested in talking to me about it? It would help to get the word out and increase awareness. My phone number is [protected] and my email address is victoriaedw@gmail.com. Thanks!
I will share a creepy experience with Glenn. I had a really bad experience with him on a retreat, I caught him taking photos of me when I was suntanning in my bikini. I told him to stop and he tried coaching me about my "fear of being judged." After that, he emailed me a link to his peeping tom photo of me on his Instagram and tagged it "Nice View." It was so embarassing and traumatizing. I warn every woman to stay away from this evil couple.
I'm so sorry to hear this. He did something similar to my friend in an elevator in Sydney, Australia (she was from LA) at one of her big events. She was so terrified she stayed in her hotel room the entire time. She got the hotel to supply video footage of how he cornered her in the elevator, yet their attorneys were ferocious so my friend dropped the case.
I worked for Gina Devee (Ratliffe) at the time. She is a complete fraud, I saw behind the curtain and it is all [censored]! Her husband was a cheap, crappy, and creepy chiropractor and not in any way a strong man that should be giving anyone advice! She treats everyone like they are her slaves and is a very cruel person. All her advice is rehearsed and I heard her say the same thing over and over and over again to every client she had making them each feel special even though it was all recycled [censored]. Not to mention it’s really just a good ol fashion pyramid scheme, charging women for coaching to coach them into being coaches charging women for coaching them to become coaches. Her website makes it seem like she empowers women to start their own businesses, but the only business she’s selling is how to coach people into blindly handing over their life savings to eventually turn them into crooks too or to tell them they just don’t have what it takes to become a crook like her. I hope karma catches up with her and blindly rips her off for everything she has just like she rips off everyone she “helps”…I have so much more to say…

Yes...she screwed a very dear friend of mine royally. Watch out for this one!
I paid $10k upfront for one of her programs. She personally called me on a Sunday morning, prior to it even beginning and threatening to kick me out, saying she would keep all of my money. And she did! Why? Because I was seeking clarity about some of her program policies that appeared to be contradictory. Myself and 100 other women in this program met with an attorney to seek a class action lawsuit, yet she had her lawyers all over us and we essentially walked away. I only lost $10k, but my friend lost $100k. Unbelievable she is still getting away with this.
Gina told me that if you're not getting sued by at least one person, you're not doing a good job. I quit the program cold turkey after that "advice." I was 3 months in, unfortunately, so it was an expensive $16K lesson.
I would like to chat. I am also currently fighting this battle. Has anyone had success with getting out of their "contract"? $6,500 is not small cash in my current world.
