About Gemma
My Story to becoming an Intuitive Life Coach
I do this work because I find heaps of meaning and satisfaction in making a difference in other people’s lives. I started this journey as a yoga teacher 15 years ago, which I loved, but I only got a tiny glimpse into my client’s lives, through movement and for 60 – 90 min per week. People would often stay and talk to me about their life stuff after class and I started to value that time and want more. As a natural progression from my Psychology degree, I trained as a life coach and could then work with people in all aspects of their lives, take their hands and get into the trenches with them. Which meant I was able to make more of an impact and see real changes and tangible results in my client’s lives.
In my early thirties I went through a very difficult period, my marriage broke down followed swiftly by a chronic illness. I found the original life coaching tools I had learned and taught my clients were incredibly helpful, but they didn’t carry me all the way. I needed to go way deeper and develop a relationship with myself and the universe (or whatever you prefer to call that thing that is greater than all of us) that could support and nourish me through the best and worst of times. I committed to rediscovering, learning and tapping into my intuition – this was the missing piece.
For myself, and then for my clients, I adapted and combined my somatic experience as a yoga teacher, my life coaching training and the holistic approach to empowering each individual to recognise and connect with their own inner guidance, their intuition. This approach is simultaneously bullet-proof and endlessly tender. It reflects the reality of the extreme hardships of being human, while acknowledging the exquisite nature of the divine in all of us.
