About Gem

Gem is a trauma-informed Myofascial Release Therapist, trained in the John F. Barnes method in Arizona. She’s also a Reiki Master and Reiki Drum Practitioner, with a Level 3 qualification in counselling skills. While not a counsellor, her work is rooted in deep listening, empathy, and respect for each person’s unique healing journey.

With over six years’ experience in body-based therapies, Gem offers a calm, grounded space where people can gently reconnect with themselves — at their own pace and on their own terms.

She also works with Red Kite, a charity supporting survivors of sexual assault, and brings the same trauma-aware, compassionate approach into every part of her practice.

Myofascial Release, as taught by John F. Barnes, is a hands-on, whole-person therapy that works with the fascia — the body’s connective tissue — to release physical restrictions and deeply held emotional tension. It’s gentle, yet powerful work that honours the body’s innate wisdom and capacity to heal.

Gem’s approach isn’t about fixing or forcing — it’s about creating space, meeting the body where it is, and allowing it to lead the way.

If you’re looking for a warm, supportive space that honours your whole self — body, mind, and spirit — you’re in the right place. Gem would be honoured to walk alongside you.
