Thoughtful, deep, inspiring, fighter, overcomer and encouraging are just some of the words used to describe Jemma.

A woman of substance, her determination to overcome 35 years of depression using her 4-step process, drives and motivates her to inspires others in overcoming emotional and mental adversity.

Her pursuit of intimacy with God is the rock that sustains her. Her honesty and vulnerability in her books, Retreats and Away Days, equip and teach all genders and ages practices to understand, experience and maintain spiritual intimacy with God.

At her core, she has a heart for people and is the founder of ABCD – Alone Behind Closed Doors, a charitable program that provides food hampers for families and individuals affected by poor mental health, over the Christmas period.

Each hamper is tailored made to the client’s ethnic background and dietary needs, with ongoing support throughout the year where required.

Her artistic flair can be seen in her cakes. Her inspiration can be viewed in her blogs. Her strength to encourage, educate and empower comes to life in her talks and her books.

Her drive and motivation to see others succeed are expressed in the testimonials of those who have attended her Retreats, Away Days and read her book.

Her joy for life is seen in the choices she makes daily to live a life that is intentional.

One of her many goals in life is to create an interactive platform for individuals affected by poor mental health choices and to help them break the cycle of toxic thinking brought on by damaged emotions as well as establish a 5* Retreat Estate to house her Retreats and Away Days
