About us
I’m Gemma - Your way back to JOY. If you're feeling stuck and know you want more enjoyment within your life then you're in the right place.
My philosophy is that joy is a deep feeling inside of us. It is contentment. It is a quality that makes life worth living. I believe joy is created by: small moments; honest conversations; embracing the truest version of ourselves and being grateful.
How coaching can help you:
- Do you feel an unrelenting burden of stress and experience burnout?
I will help you to stop chasing down external achievements and the next thing on your to-do list. By learning to slow down and simplify life you can create space for small moments to shine.
- Do you experience negative self-talk and feel the heavy weight of your emotions?
I will help you to practice gratitude, challenge negative thoughts, and encourage you to surround yourself with positive influences to rewire your outlook on life.
- Do you have a sense of isolation and feel disconnected from others?
I will help you to have open, honest conversations and lean into vulnerability so you can share your feelings, fears, and joys which will deepen your relationships and lead to you feeling seen and understood.
- Do you wake up feeling as if something is missing and want things to be different?
I will help you let go of who you think you’re supposed to be and start being true to yourself, enabling you to celebrate your unique qualities, follow your passions, and reconnect with forgotten hobbies.
We don't always change well on our own. To stop us from being in our heads we often need someone independent to disrupt our thinking by reflecting back our thoughts and asking questions that make us curious and examine why we think and feel the way we do.
Coaching with me can transform the way you see your life. It can help develop insight into what matters most to you and uncover how to take action on it.
"Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change".
How coaching can be delivered:
I offer transformational coaching virtually and in nature.
My offering of nature coaching is a way for you to step outside of your normal routine, work and home to let nature nurture your future. Being in nature opens up our mind to new possibilities, gives us a sense of freedom whilst listening to birdsong, and has a calming, restorative effect on our bodies as studies show that the level of stress hormone, cortisol can be lower when walking outdoors.
With nature coaching we can ‘walk and talk’ together or we can just sit, chat and take in the surroundings. It’s your choice.
What to do next:
Reach out to me today to arrange a free discovery call so you can ask further questions and find out how we can work together to help you rediscover the beauty of everyday life.
Let joy be your compass.
