My story of self development

My story starts in 2014 when I was on the verge of burnout, but determined to climb the ladder, whatever the cost…

In 2014, I found myself at a crossroads. Working within a top international law firm & on the verge of burnout, I began to question why I was so determined to climb the ladder within a toxic environment when it was costing me my personal life & well-being.

On the outside, I was the picture of success. I had achieved everything society expected of me by then, but internally, I was struggling with high-functioning anxiety.

The “Sunday Scaries” plagued me. Under intense pressure, I was constantly worried about making mistakes and felt like I didn’t quite fit in.

When I missed out on a promotion I had worked years for, my confidence hit rock bottom. My anxiety was at an all-time high, and my physical health had suffered. It was a wake-up call that, for the first time, forced me to prioritize my well-being over my career.

...and so my Real Self development journey began!

I spent the next 6 months changing my job and working on my mindset. I learned how to manage my mind, overcome fears of failure, and let go of limiting beliefs which had been causing me to feel overwhelmed, anxious & doubt myself. This journey re-established my confidence and reset my nervous system, allowing me to thrive personally and professionally.

At 25, I was promoted to build a legal department within a successful construction company, where 90% of the workforce were male. Despite feeling like an imposter at times, I used the strategies I had developed to manage my mind and excel in my role.

Life, however, has its ups and downs. My mum was diagnosed with cancer, and just 12 weeks later, she passed away. This huge loss led me to explore whether the mindset strategies I used for professional success could also help release the impact of trauma.

I began coaching with Veronica, a remarkable coach who helped me let go of grief & shame held on to since childhood.

Coaching transformed my life. Now, instead of being held back by people-pleasing, limiting beliefs & fear, I have the confidence, courage, and resilience to live life true to my authentic self.

Knowing first hand the profound impact self-development had on my own journey, I retrained in NLP, IEMT & Hypnotherapy and created my signature program: The Real You: Confident Edition.

Having coached many people for a number of years now, my mission is to empower people like you to overcome anything holding you back, unlock your full potential & live a life that reflects who you truly are.

  • "But the most important thing Gemma helped me with was realising the value within myself. I’m not over exaggerating when I say Gemma changed my life. I now realise my own self-worth"

    I’m so thankful I met Gemma when I did! I was going through a terrible time mentally and I honestly didn’t see a way out of it. Gemma really helped me put my life into perspective, she helped me unload a lot of emotions that I was carrying for such a long time. But the most important thing Gemma helped me with was realising the value within myself. I’m not over exaggerating when I say Gemma changed my life. I now realise my own self-worth and took a plunge and moved to Sydney. I’m a way more confident person and I can think a lot clearer all because of Gemma. I’m extremely grateful we met when we did. Gemma will absolutely change your life if you put your faith in her.
