COACHING WITH ME
I approach coaching with the awareness that our growth as adults is associative and fluid rather than linear and fixed which means that under the right conditions, growth potential is boundless. I focus on reflecting you back to you as you discover and reclaim who you truly are—illuminating the hidden truths that can set you free and supporting the development of your inspired, conscious, and empowered self. We experiment to identify which resources and 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 as well as integrating expanded awareness and new practices into your day-to-day routine—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.
My lens is trauma-informed, intersectional, and identity-conscious. You'll quickly notice that I'm passionate about collectively and cooperatively dismantling the patriarchal conditioning and constraints that harm all of us and our relationships. You'll also notice that I'm not the kind of coach who focuses on weekly to-do lists while neglecting internal and relational development. Surface level behavioral shifts don't lead to sustained change—your development requires depth—plus, I get bored sitting on the surface.

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 us 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 8/5/26
Where: virtually on Zoom (75 minutes each session)
The Coaching Experience
“I came across Jemma on social media and instantly connected with her posts. As someone with a degree in counseling and plenty of experience with therapists, I had become disillusioned with textbook methods of treatment as well as male-centered modalities. I was struggling in my relationship, dealing with menopause, and experiencing a crippling resurgence of anxiety. Jemma created a safe and nurturing environment that challenged me and allowed me to explore the constructs that led me to where I was, and she did this in the most loving and supportive way. I very much needed a gentle touch and one of the qualities I appreciated most is that she always told me what I needed to hear but gave me the space and time and reinforcement to integrate it on my own terms and at my own pace, along the way helping me connect the dots that led me to where I was. My anxiety is significantly better, I have a whole new perspective on the dynamics of my relationship, and as a woman going through a life-changing transition I can honestly say I am currently the best version of myself. And while Jemma would make me take credit for that, I truly owe so much of it to her. She put me back together again and I will always be grateful for that.
-Bela G., U.S.A.
"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 has improved dramatically. I often hear Jemma's voice in my head cheering me on and asking me questions that open up new perspectives and solutions.
- Matthew R., CANADA
“Before I started working with Jemma, I was going through a breakup that left me feeling shaken, isolated, and disconnected from my own sense of self-worth. I knew I was stuck in old patterns but I didn't know how to break through them on my own. I wanted tools to help me rebuild my confidence and understand why I kept ending up in the same emotional loops.
From the very first sessions, it was clear Jemma's approach was different. She has an intuitive sense for adapting her approach to just what you need that session. And she does it with such a beautiful, calm energy that makes even the hardest conversations feel safe. Rather than just offering advice, she asked the kind of questions that helped me pause and sit with what I was feeling instead of skimming past it. She has a rare gift for guiding you toward your own answers rather than handing you hers, which made every insight feel like something I had earned myself and could trust.
A huge part of my growth came through somatic work. I hadn't realized how much of my anxiety and fear were living in my body until Jemma introduced me to practices that helped me feel and process those emotions. Learning to manage anxiety somatically, to notice what isolation and fear felt like physically, and to support myself instead of resisting was a turning point for me. It gave me a stronger sense of self and practices I continue to use long after our sessions. Just as importantly, I learned how to be more compassionate with myself instead of judging my own reactions or blaming myself for not "getting over" things fast enough. Jemma helped me soften my inner voice and approach my own healing with more patience and kindness.
I can't recommend working with Jemma enough—genuinely transformative! Very grateful :)
