Guiding you on your path through
radical evolution.
Powerful self-growth for evolving women. Online body-based therapies that work with unresolved emotions and trauma, from the safety of your own space.
Beyond Anxiety & Fear
You can learn to feel safe in your body again, even if that feels impossible right now.
Freedom from Freeze
You can come unstuck, so that you feel alive, present, and able to engage fully with your life again.
I help women come unstuck from overwhelm.
You’ve done the work. You have the insight. You understand yourself better than most people ever will.
And still, something won’t shift.
If that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place. I work with women who are ready to try something that goes beyond the thinking mind, into the place where patterns actually live.
Overwhelm can look like…
- Anxiety, excessive fear, panic, hyperventilation (hyperarousal)
- Shutdown, functional freeze, low mood, ‘stuckness’ (hypoarousal)
- Chronic illness (CFS/ME, pain, depression, gastrointestinal issues, Tension Myositis Syndrome)
- Life on autopilot – controlled by unconscious, unhealthy patterns
- Hijacked by strong emotions
- A persistent sense of feeling stuck/paralysed
- An inner battle of two equally strong opposing forces, beliefs or desires
- A sense of a life unlived or on hold
- The persistent, debilitating belief that I am broken or there is something wrong with me.
WHAT IF I TOLD YOU...
there is nothing wrong with you
The patterns keeping you stuck aren’t a flaw in your character. They’re not proof that you’re broken, or that change isn’t coming.
They’re your nervous system doing what it learned to do. Protecting you. Running the same responses that once made sense, long after the original threat has passed.
This is why understanding yourself more hasn’t been the answer. Insight lives in the mind. But these patterns don’t. They live in the body, stored in your nervous system, beneath the reach of thought and language.
Online somatic therapy works at that level. Rather than trying to think your way out of patterns you didn’t think yourself into, we work directly with your nervous system to release what keeps those loops running.
When that shifts, the pattern loses its grip. Not because you’ve understood it better. Because your body has finally been heard.
The Four Powerful Pillars Of My
Therapeutic Approach01
Trauma-informed care
Trauma is not what happens to us, but what happens within us. I create a safe and compassionate space where you can explore emotional wounds without judgement or pressure.
02
Safety & resourcing
Your physical safety, and your perception of safety, are paramount. We bring in resources of safety now, and gradually rewire your nervous system into a regulated state.
03
Somatic awareness & regulation
Through somatic practices I help you regulate overwhelming emotions, release stored trauma, and reconnect the parts of you that have become suppressed or severed.
04
Breaking patterns & re-processing beliefs
Releasing stagnant emotional energy lets us re-evaluate experiences, unlocking years of maladaptive thinking. You can manifest the version of yourself waiting underneath.
What Is Somatic Therapy?
“Soma” originates from the Greek word for “body.” Somatic therapy is a holistic approach to healing trauma that recognises the inseparable connection between the mind and the body.
In this therapeutic experience, we honour the profound wisdom held within our physical selves. Yes, we will use language to communicate. But unlike the predominant talk-based therapies, we don’t consider the thinking mind to hold all the answers – rather, we bring sensation into awareness.
What Is Embodied Processing?
Embodied Processing (EP) is a holistic somatic psychotherapy renowned for its unique approach to mental health and trauma therapy. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EP embraces a “bottom-up” route, recognising the body’s pivotal role in addressing emotional and mental health challenges.
EP’s power is rooted in the wisdom of pioneers in the trauma-healing space, including Peter Levine, Bessel Van Der Kolk, Deb Dana, Pat Ogden, and Stephen Porges.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
Gem is a natural healer. She is so professional, holds space so beautifully, and moves you gently through each part of the process. She has such a beautiful way about her — she’s meticulous in her care and her knowledge. Love working with Gem.
REBECCA K
Gemma has a beautiful energy that keeps the session calm and safe. Her enquiry is inspiring and it really helped uncover some deeper trauma. I love working with her. Thanks Gem!
AIMEE C
I experienced a self-awareness in my body which I hadn’t experienced before. It was really subtle and, without Gemma’s gentle supporting guidance, I wouldn’t have been attuned to this.
LISA H
Gemma provided me with the best resourcing practice I’ve yet experienced. I felt very comfortable and safe with her — she has a wonderful nature and ability to connect at a personal level.
DANIELLE H
I found the session very helpful and Gemma was amazing.

About Me
I’m Gemma King, a somatic therapist and embodiment coach based in Sydney, Australia.
My path to this work came through my own years of living with debilitating anxiety, panic, chronic fatigue, major depression, and the impacts of complex trauma. Conventional therapy and medical approaches weren’t reaching the root of what I was experiencing. The turning point came in child’s pose, when I noticed my body finding relief that my mind couldn’t manufacture. That sent me deep into the relationship between bodywork, nervous system regulation, and trauma healing, and eventually led me to retrain as a somatic practitioner.
I’m now a certified Embodied Processing Practitioner, Root-Cause Therapist, and 200-hour Yoga Teacher. I work with women who are stuck in patterns they can feel but can’t name, helping them work with their nervous systems rather than against them.
My therapeutic and coaching approach is a distillation of the most effective, cutting-edge modalities, especially geared for women, that are known to disrupt old patterns of limiting beliefs, shine a light on unconscious forces keeping you scared and invisible, and shift the stuckness that stops you from living your fullest, most miraculous life.
I draw all of this experience and expertise into one unique therapeutic approach so that you can benefit from this holistic transformative experience.
