Phenomenology can broadly be defined into two camps: descriptive and hermeneutics (close to IPA). While there is broad overlap, there are distinctions. Giorgi is in the descriptive camp, aligned with Husserl. Hermeneutics is closer to Heidegger. For Giorgi, the researcher removes self from the study, while hermeneutics incorporates the researcher as part of the researched--the interpretation involves the self. Combining both makes little sense, though it has been done. Once one combines methods, one becomes hermeneutics because both are incompatible. Now, can you broadly follow Giorgi? Sure. Just know your purpose and aims.
