COACHING WITH ME
I approach coaching with the awareness that our development as adults is associative and fluid rather than linear and fixed which means that under the right conditions, growth potential is boundless. I aim to focus on reflecting you back to you as you discover who you truly are—illuminating hidden truths that both set you free and support the development of your inspired, conscious, and empowered self. We experiment to identify which practices are most effective for your healing and growth while weaving you an evolved Web of Well-Being™. Whether you choose individual, couple (weekly or an intensive), group sessions, or a combination, my coaching process involves experiential learning and integrating new practices into your day-to-day—gently stretching you during sessions, in between, and beyond. Together we create a safe place for your truth to land, allowing you to explore with curiosity as you gain clarity and cultivate your new reality.
I'm not the kind of coach who focuses on weekly to-do lists while neglecting your internal and relational development. For one, surface level behavioral shifts don't lead to sustained change and two, managing to-do lists is kinda boring...for both of us.
"Relationships flourish when the responsibility for nourishing connection is shared."

CURRENT WOMEN'S GROUP: HER STORY
We begin writing our stories in our youth with the mind of a child, a child who sometimes feels powerless, less than and/or too much. As adults our stories can either shrink us or celebrate our capacity to transform—to turn pain into purpose and pleasure. This is your opportunity to rewrite your story, identify the wisdom gained from your lived experiences, reclaim your inner authority, your purpose, and your passion while witnessed by a supportive community of like-minded women.
When: ever other Wednesday at 4:00 PM PST/ 7:00 PM EST through 5/13/26
Where: virtually on Zoom (75 minutes each session)
The Coaching Experience
“Jemma is by far the best coach I could have asked for. Beyond being wise, warm and supportive, she has a coaching style that's fun (I laughed a ton with her) and creative. She worked with me to bring forward my gifts while helping me discover areas where I could further develop in order to create what have felt like major miracles in my life. We designed assignments and practices that expanded my self-awareness and my skill set. Coaching with Jemma had a huge impact on the way I rebound from setbacks and take action.”
-Karin V.
"I was referred to Jemma by a friend of mine who kept singing her praises. At the time, I was struggling with some imposter syndrome, burn-out, and dysfunctional dynamics on my team. I knew within the first ten minutes of speaking with Jemma that she was someone I could learn from and trust. Jemma's enthusiasm is infectious and her belief in me was what I needed to push past fear and self-doubt. My self-trust and ability to respond well to stressful situations have improved dramatically. I often hear Jemma's voice in my head cheering me on and asking me questions that open up alternate perspectives and solutions.
- Matthew R.
“I came to Jemma feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and really scared. I knew I wasn't happy in my marriage yet I was confused about what I wanted. After consults with a number of coaches I chose her because I immediately felt understood. . Jemma's calm and compassionate way of guiding me to the truth—even when it was hard to face— opened my eyes to how I'd been betraying myself. I found the courage to take what was initially a terrifying leap towards a whole new chapter of life. ”
