Inner-Child Series
A transformative 6-week journey to profound personal growth and healing.
Sign up todayUnlock the joy, creativity, and resilience of your inner-child
Within each of us lies an inner-child – a vulnerable, innocent part of ourselves that experienced the world with wonder and awe.
But, as we journey through life and encounter adversities, this inner-child often ends up bearing the weight of unresolved emotional wounds and limiting self-beliefs formed during childhood. We may find ourselves lost in a mismatched self-identity, seeking solace in places that no longer resonate with our authentic selves. We may struggle to provide ourselves with the self-care and nurture we’re yearning for. We may find ourselves suppressing or repressing our emotions and living in restrictive patterns that limit our growth and potential.
Now, imagine stepping into a sanctuary of healing and rediscovery, where your inner child is embraced with love, compassion, and understanding.
Welcome to the Inner-Child Series, a transformative 6-week journey that illuminates the path to profound personal growth and healing.
Through a series of carefully curated Breathwork experiences, you will unlock the shackles of the past and embark on an inspiring journey of self-discovery. With careful guidance, you’ll tenderly meet your inner-child’s core needs, providing the love, reassurance, and acceptance it longs for.
Remember the playfulness and creativity that once set your soul aglow? By the end of our time together, you’ll have awoken your capacity for joy and fun, broken free of the patterns that no longer serve you, granted yourself and others the gift of forgiveness, and reconnected with the most authentic version of you.
The Inner-Child Series is an odyssey of self-awareness, liberation, and transformation. So, come and embrace the invitation to reconnect, heal, and play with the younger parts of you.

Journey into the heart of your inner-child
The Inner-Child Series is a holistic and trauma-informed program that provides a safe and nurturing space for you to heal emotional wounds, explore your feelings, and embrace vulnerability.
Over 6 immersive weeks, we’ll fuse together Breathwork experiences and inner child healing techniques, all aimed at awakening your inner-child and enabling profound shifts in your life. With my guidance, you’ll learn how to tap into your body's innate healing intelligence.
Through these workshops (run from the Chapel at YWCA on Pembroke Street in Kirikiriroa, Hamilton) and gentle, trauma-informed processes, you will be able to experience and unlock:
- Self-discovery - uncover the depths of your inner-child, and understand how past experiences shape your present.
- Emotional healing - reflect, release, forgive, and process emotional wounds.
- Break cycles - bid farewell to the expectations that once shaped your identity and break free from patterns that no longer serve you positively, empowering yourself to make bold and courageous choices.
- Improved relationships with self and others - extend compassion, find forgiveness, and grow understand within yourself and others.
- Authentic vulnerability - embrace your truest self in relationships, allowing for deeper and more authentic connections.
- Self-Empowerment - take control of your emotions, reactions, and actions and rebuild trust in yourself and others.
- Playfulness - rediscover playfulness and creativity, cultivate your ability to find joy in small moments, and experience a sense of freedom and lightness as a result.
- Self-integration - connect with your true, authentic self, and find a deeper sense of purpose and meaning in life.
- Emotional resilience - release deep-seated emotional pain, transform emotional suppression into healthy expression, and develop your emotional intelligence.
- Self-acceptance - free yourself from feeling unloved and unworthy, and foster a deep sense of self-acceptance and inner peace.
- Bold action - confront your fears, and courageously step into a space of vulnerability for positive healing, growth, and self-empowerment.

"Gemma provided just the right amount of support during the Breathwork session, and I felt incredibly safe in the container she created. That was by far the most profound experience I've had with breathwork"

"Gemma just knows how to guide you deep within yourself, while she holds the space so eloquently. Gemma truely understands safety and she will constantly give that space where you can always speak up.

Tap into your inner-peace, personal power, playfulness, and purpose
My Inner-Child Series is grounded in the belief that you are your own healer, and that when you tap into your innate healing abilities through the power of your breath, and in community, you unlock profound healing. My trauma-informed approach ensures a safe environment for emotional exploration.
Through guided Breathwork experiences, you'll access deeply buried emotions and memories, gently processing and releasing them. As you nurture your inner child's core needs, you'll experience a transformative journey towards emotional well-being and self-discovery.
What do you receive as part of the programme?
As a fully certified Breathwork Practitioner and Trauma-Recovery Coach, being trauma-informed means understanding how stress and trauma is impacting you in the present. As a Breathwork Practitioner, I will be looking for cues from your body inside the Breathwork journey that indicate where you may be using Breathwork too much, too fast or too soon, and working in a titrated way to support you to slowly, softly and gently expand your window of tolerance over time. You will be supported to safely release unexpressed emotions from the past, and guiding you through completing stress cycles from the past. My approach to mentorship and coaching is to journey alongside you as you re-establish a connection with your authentic self and the present moment. I support you to find new meaning from past experiences, and invite you into places that allow you to feel greater levels of freedom and harmony within your being.
Breathing with your inner child
Breathwork gives you a direct experience for healing and transformation by accessing your body's innate healing intelligence. Breathwork is a conscious and connected breathing technique that supports you to improve your mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing through accessing non-ordinary states of consciousness.
This holistic modality restores the natural flow of energy through the BodyMind system, and during a session, I guide you to safely access frozen energy, sensations, and emotions to support the release and completion of anything that's unresolved from the past.
There's many benefits to working with tools like talk therapy and mindset coaching, and we know that the body is what remembers stress and trauma. Combining these tools with somatic therapies like Breathwork support the body to heal at the root of stress and trauma.
We know the quality of our thoughts are influenced by our capacity and capability to regulate our nervous systems, so for sustainable change, we get to explore tools that acknowledge the BodyMind system connection.
What do people join for?

The first round of this programme sold out, and after many requests, the programme will run for two more rounds in 2023. 100% of the community that joined in the first round said they felt safe inside the programme:
“This was such an amazing and supportive group of people. I felt held and trusted”.
“Gemma, you are amazing at explaining everything and making the whole environment feel so relaxing. When I walked into the workshops, it felt like a warm hug”.
“People shared their journey with such honesty and vulnerability that I didn’t feel shame in doing the same”.
“Gemma is a highly skilled facilitator - very present and connected. I felt valued, seen and held in the space created within this programme”.
My unique formula
What makes the inner-child series unique is the combination of community, Breathwork, and integration resources to have a direct experience with healing and transformation.
A life-changing experience
Amber
"This journey offered so much more than I expected. It was empowering to realise my body is a tool that can help me understand my inner self, my higher self. My newfound understanding has grounded me and allowed me to connect more deeply with my emotions and the people in my life. The workshops created a safe and supportive space for vulnerability, where we all acknowledged buried emotions and began the process of healing. The breathwork part of the programme blew my mind - it was an incredible tool for release and self-discovery. This programme has enriched my life, and I now feel more connected to myself and the world around me”
Annalie
"Participating in the Inner-Child Series has been a healing experience. The program taught me that the stories we tell ourselves can be challenged and rewritten, allowing me to embrace the fun and playful side of life without worrying about others' perceptions. During the breathwork sessions, I felt a profound sense of joy, knowing that it's okay to lean into my playful side. I've accepted myself more and discovered many facets of myself worth celebrating. My relationship with others is improving, and I've found joy in creativity, exploring music, and reconnecting with the wonders of nature. I learned valuable tools to nourish myself holistically, set intentions, and practice breathwork for self-healing. Gemma created a safe and supportive space, allowing us to be honest and vulnerable with each other. The sense of community was enriching, and I felt cared for and inspired by others' journeys. This workshop helped me hold my inner child's hand and begin the journey of healing together"
Shiana
"Gemma's Inner-Child Series has been an amazing journey of self-discovery! I've learned to trust my intuition, embrace self-worth, and let go of resentment, which has positively impacted my relationships. I feel happier, more at peace, and I've learned to be present and less stressed. Connecting with others in the program and hearing their stories reminded me of the power of support and understanding. Overall, this transformative experience has allowed me to be more playful and embrace my inner-child. Thank you, Gemma, for this incredible experience!"
