Your emotional well-being is shaped long before birth, influencing how you feel, connect, and navigate life’s transitions. I specialise in somatic therapy, EMDR, holistic counselling, and women’s life transitions therapy in Perth, supporting those healing from early life imprints, birth trauma, anxiety, grief, relationship wounds, and self-doubt. My approach blends neuroscience, mindfulness, and body-based healing, guiding you toward deep emotional resilience and self-trust.
Hi , I’m Jemma
Healing Starts from Within: A Compassionate Journey of Self-Discovery
The roots of who we are are planted long before we take our first breath. The experiences we have in the womb and early childhood shape not only how we feel but also how we move through life. By understanding these early influences, we can begin to heal and create a more authentic, balanced existence.
A Gentle, Holistic Approach to Your Healing
I take an integrated approach to therapy that combines somatic psychotherapy, nervous system regulation, pre- and perinatal psychology, and mindfulness. Together, we will explore how your early experiences influence your present well-being, with the goal of healing and reclaiming those parts of you that may have been forgotten or overlooked. This deeper awareness helps you not only understand yourself better but also make room for meaningful change, so you can live more fully and in alignment with your true self.
Mindfulness: A Path to Inner Peace and Healing
At the heart of our work together is mindfulness—the practice of being fully present with your thoughts, feelings, and body. Through mindfulness, we slow down, tune in, and create space for healing, without judgment or rush. It’s about bringing compassion to your inner world, allowing you to embrace each part of yourself with kindness. I’ll teach you how to carry this practice into your daily life, giving you tools to handle life’s challenges with more ease and self-awareness.
Your Journey, Honoured at Every Step
I understand that each person’s path to healing is unique, and I’m here to meet you exactly where you are. My role is to offer you support, tools, and guidance, at your own pace, as you explore and heal. You deserve to feel safe and nurtured in this process, and I’m here to walk beside you every step of the way, creating a compassionate space where you can rediscover your strength, purpose and peace.
