I want to feel well

Taking an individualised, root cause approach to wellness.

I’m Gemma, an Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) Practitioner and Functional Wellness Practitioner trainee with a passion for helping people navigate wellness in a way that feels supportive, realistic, and empowering.

My work is rooted in the belief that our symptoms are not something to simply silence — they are messages inviting us to slow down, listen, and understand what the body may need. Whether this is a need for movement, nutrition, stress management or a full blown shake up of life.

Why work with me

My own journey into wellness began after developing Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) post surgery, a condition that significantly affected my mobility and quality of life. Through exploring nervous system regulation, nutrition, emotional wellbeing, and functional wellness approaches, I began to better understand the connections between stress, hormones, inflammation, pain, and overall health. EFT helped me to process how I was feeling emotionally through the process, whilst also part of my toolbox to manage my disabling symptoms.

With my own research and explorations into health, I had made good progress with my conditions. I am in awe of how much progress I have made without initially knowing the conditions I suffered with by focusing on supporting my body to return to homeostasis. I was later diagnosed with EDS, MCAS, POT’s and in the process of confirming suspected FND.

This experience changed the way I view the human body and how I approach wellness.

Rather than searching for more quick fixes, I learned the importance of supporting the body with consistency, compassion, and curiosity. The tools and practices that supported my own journey to date became the foundation of GCR Wellness — Grow, Connect, and Restore.
