Meet Gem
​There are seasons in life when everything feels like it’s shifting at once — the roles we hold, the pace we move at, the expectations placed on us, and the quiet truth of what our body is really asking for.
For many of us, especially women, these times of change are when burnout creeps in. Not always the loud, dramatic kind — but the slow, subtle exhaustion that shows up as foggy mornings, short breaths, a racing mind, or a quiet sense that you’re not quite yourself.
Hey lovely one,
My name is Gem.
I'm here to remind you that you're allowed to slow down.
​
Grounding Essence is a space for empathetic women who are craving time to slow down, process change, and move from burn-out or overwhelm into steadiness and self-trust. Through nervous-system aware yoga, small-group workshops and one-one-one support, you're gently guided back into your body, breath and inner truth.​
In-person & Online Yoga
My in-person and online yoga sessions are gentle yet deeply grounding, designed to support your nervous system and meet you exactly where you are.
​
All sessions are trauma-informed and nervous system aware, offering a safe, spacious environment to slow down, reconnect with your body, and soften out of survival mode. Movement is intentional, breath-led and invitational.
​
While grounded in science and somatic awareness, my teaching is also spiritual and intuitive - supporting you to feel anchored and connected from within.
​
Please know that you are welcome to any online or in-person yoga session as you are.
Workshops & Retreats
Nourishing gatherings to pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself through life's changing seasons.
​
These embodied workshops and retreats (gatherings) are created for women who are navigating burn out, transition, or a sense of disconnection from their natural rhythms. Drawing on nervous system education, women's cyclical wisdom, mindfulness, expressive therapies and gentle behaviour change - each offering support to move from overwhelm into steadiness and self-trust.
​
Held online and in-person, these experiences are gentle yet powerful - blending education with embodied practice.
​
You may like to see what workshops and retreats are coming up soon.

One-on-One Sessions
​One-one-one sessions are a powerful step if you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, at cross-roads in life or simply craving some space to tend to yourself. Sessions are offered online, are person-centred and responsive to your unique needs.
​
I use a mixed modality approach including yoga, meditation, breathwork, subtle body work and reflective practices. Together, but ultimately guided by you, we'll gently explore patterns, beliefs and embodied responses that may be keeping you in survival mode. You will learn practical tools to support meaningful shifts in mindset, nervous system regulation and self-connection.

Grounding in the Workplace: past & present
Maybe the journey isn't so much about becoming anything. Maybe it's about un-becoming everything that isn't really you, so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place.
