Her unrivaled knowledge, experience and method provide a rare experience – and success -- for riders, sponsors and fans. Since 1996, Giana has been a professional cyclist – and at times simultaneously competing as a professional equestrian.
She has raced for the US National Team, The Saturn Cycling Team, The Timex Team, Team Speed Queen, Proman Women's Team and Elita. She represented the US internationally at many events including the World Championships and is a former World Champion, National Champion and member of the International Cycling Hall of Fame.

Marisha Chilcott is a Board Certified Family Physician who earned her MD at UC Davis School of Medicine and completed her residency at the Contra Costa Family Medicine program in Martinez, CA. Before medical school, she worked as a consultant in the electric utility industry, focused on demand-side management program evaluations and software development. She has a BA in Mathematics from UC Berkeley, although she claims to have "majored" in boys and beer. I am just checking to see if anyone is actually reading this. Gotcha, Amy.
Dr. Chilcott has worked as an emergency room physician, a primary care doctor, a geriatrician, and as an aesthetic medical provider. It is with this breadth of experience that she comes to Be the Change in Mental Health (BTC) committed to creating a clinical treatment center that will improve society with the multiplicative effect of one-human-at-a time wellness that cannot help but influence families and friends.
All of Dr. Chilcott's personal and professional experiences culminate in being uniquely qualified to lead BTC to achieve our mission.

She is a leader who will create the productive, supportive, brave culture that is needed to disrupt the status quo in mental health care.
