Gigi Shames
Gigi Shames hopped on the 'NorCal to NOLA' bandwagon in 2022 and lives with her daughter Savvy in Metairie. She is Ochsner's regional acupuncturist for two hospitals on the Northshore, as well as engagement ambassador and guest lecturer for the Neurosciences Symposium. Mom and daughter and tiny dog Prince are all varying levels of Swiftie, still riding that high from last October when Taylor made the whole place shimmer. She loves everything related to LGBT/Jewish/parenting and is thrilled to finally feel at home in the joie de vivre of greater NOLA.
