Praise and Kind Words
“Gemma is one of the most magical, creative, powerful, and kindest women I've ever met. She came to this world with many gifts, one of which is to be a transformative healer and teacher. I am so inspired by her passionate energy, mindset, wisdom, and love for life. Gemma taught me about the depths of intimacy, true unconditional love for myself, and my inherent worth. All of her teachings and offerings are truly life-changing, and I recommend her to anyone who is looking for a catalyst for their spiritual journey.”
-Maya Tsipe, Entrepreneur
“Working with Gemma transformed the way I approach my life and my relationships with the people who are most important to me. She helped me remove the negative emotions and limiting decisions that were holding me back from being true to my own greatness. I now feel free to be the greatest version of myself, let go of fear, and to live my life with passion! I recommend working with Gemma, 110%!”
–Dan Fons, Talent Management Specialist, Coach at Executive Power
“It’s an interesting time for self reflection
I believe you allow
It’s more than permission
It’s creating safe space
It’s exploring self and energy and mind
It’s body and mind and soul and spirit
Allowing sacred space for the divine in others to come through
I suppose you are a portal
Or you create one with other
Words...
I’ll look for a poem”
-K. , lawyer, mother
“Why not let Gemma take you on a gentle walk into your creative side…a path you’ll want to want to keep exploring.”
-Jennifer Shadbolt, graphic designer
“I found Gemma's website through what I can only describe as inner guidance when I was experiencing a blockage of sorts in where I wanted the next chapter of my life to go including getting clear on my passions and purpose, my desire to do something good for others and the planet, and my own spiritual awakening. As they say, when the student is ready, the teacher will appear - and her name is Gemma. Little did I know at that time how far we would go, how many doors of possibilities would open, and what clarity would come to me via Gemma's sincere and heartfelt work with me.
Gemma's Breakthrough process lit a spark of immense proportions in me. Going through it, I realized what I’ve loved all my life but could not see or how it could all work together but it had prepared me for this time. I went from going in circles to wild enthusiasm in a matter of an hour or two doing her Internal Drive Inventory. This made everything get very clear for me and like a domino effect, so many things began to fall into place to create my vision and goals - even where my family and friends could fit in if they wanted, which previously had not even crossed my mind. I remember saying at that time to myself "Wow, just WOW!" I was so over the moon by this and I was off to the races as they say with ideas and approaches flowing without effort out of me.
Since those sessions, I have been able to connect with people that somewhat miraculously showed up. I now confidently go outside of my old comfort zone, speaking my truth and with confidence, knowing that I’ve got something here and to definitely make it happen while always remaining open to that wise inner guidance on the way. Even though new challenges arise, I am able to deal with them as my True Self and speak authentically while remaining calm, on point, and with unconditional love for all. I wasn’t previously engaging in full self love and I am now from a place of peace and knowing, while remaining open to anything. Life is now a 24/7 living joy of freedom as I accept every moment as it is with gratitude and the curiosity of a child. And any time I feel some sort of setback or suffering of sorts, I practice a little self inquiry to clear it, and again getting back to the True Self of natural bliss. Just awesome!
Gemma, thank you - with where I am now, it feels like so long ago that we met as so much progress has been made with so many synchronicities helping things fall into place. Your sessions were a great catalyst to get things going! On a side note, no more chronic shoulder pain either! This is the happiest and most content I’ve been in my life. My practice is now to live as my True Self, with continuous self-realization and being ok with whatever life serves up - so much joy and freedom. I know that I’m on the right path and have already started attracting other like minded people and even evolved relationships to a greater depth with people I already know.
I can confidently say that Gemma is a genuine and courageous soul following her passions of her True Self to help others find their path and clear any suffering. I applaud her for following her heart and doing something that helps people and the world in the most meaningful of ways. I am grateful for our work together and I highly recommend working with Gemma to help you find your heart's desires!”
-Gregg F., Company Director, Entrepreneur, Visionary Leader
“Dear Gemma, I’ve been thinking about what is special about you, how I was excited to meet you and what you do and how it all started. Firstly, I trusted you. We started from spark of beautiful energy which was flowing very easily and slowly, with patience waiting for a good moment to “touch” me and my soul. When we talked I always felt save, heard and important. I always feel it. And it gives me incredible belief in moments when I doubt myself or I don’t feel good. Your real talent is your love which you have inside you and also that you share it. You have a big heart which listens, hears and hugs when it’s needed. During your massage, even if I had to cross my inner boundries, I felt safe and loved. Our conversations, passionate but also delicate… in the same time they are like delicious fruits which moisturize the soul with their taste, colour and texture. You do things with consciousness and you are sketching and ‘building’ your words, which for me means very often blessings. Your presence and practice means a lot to me. You are giving blessings and that is so beautiful. Whenever I think about my time in Toronto and our talks about our lives, it all built that trust and need of listening to you and follow. You are my little light and thank you for all that you are doing.
I feel that I want to constantly discover with you small details about women’s but also men’s nature, which are hidden somewhere and you can bring them up and light them with your wisdom and talent of its own touch.”
-Natalia Paklikowska, entrepreneur, artistic director, photographer
“Your massage was profound on a fundamental level for me. I have felt tangible shifts since then in perception, relationships and in other ways. I have struggled to put this into words, because I think that words diminish the very thing that I am trying to thank you for. On a tangible note, your touch has unified my body and has healed scars around motherhood. I know it was a layer, that there are more to explore. But, I am still integrating and processing, and filled with immense gratitude to you.”
-Eliana, physician, artist
"I love the Gemmasphere even more now, the virtual experience was incredible. Your energy is stunningly gorgeous and your process is amazing. I could connect with you on a profound level, even through the screen. I love this feeling right now; I have so much energy constantly flowing through me! Such massive clarity and creativity! I wish to deepen my learning about this with you. During the experience, my business has shifted and grown to a global scale. Thank you for guiding me to this point and for the follow-up inner work. I am so ready to put this energy to amazing use. I am grateful for this gift and ability to start communicating my truth, fully. I feel liberated. This is true healing medicine."
-Demetri, doctor, author, father
“When I left my first session, I wasn't sure if I was ready to go back as it impacted me deeply. The first experience definitely prepared me for the revelations that followed in the next sessions.
Your words before and after the massage are pure gold to me. They give me subconscious awarenesses that come alive during the process and allow me to deeply connect to your energy. It was an incredible gift to experience that type of connection within me: to let go more of the pain and suffering, and in turn, to feel the synesthesia of bliss connected to my inner passion. Not sure what it looked like from the outside but from the inside every cell and especially my heart were smiling like I’ve never felt before. You truly truly are a beautiful soul!”
-Jason, psychologist, coach
“While Gemma brings youth and beauty to the healing room, her touch is, older than. Older than what? I don't know. Simply older than. Firm enough to mean it. Soft enough to court and heal emotional pain. She is in many ways, how a candle flame might dance to the sound of the duduk. I do not know if Gemma is quite aware of this gift, and perhaps it's best she not know, for her task is to steady the course, to bend her life to that which has claimed her, and to let us say what it is. Jesus never had a Jesus. He just went to work.
…I wanted to have her massage my daughter, to touch her in a way that I want my daughter to know is possible, and that I cannot myself gift her with. This is the medicine of women coming together. Gemma is the place where time ceases to be linear.”
-Sarah Hall, poet, priestess, relationship coach
“Six months ago a friend of mine introduced me to the beauty of Gemma–little did I know at the time that Gemma would be the missing puzzle piece on finding my inner self. I felt lost, confused and emotional. Longing for help from anyone to guide me to the part of me that was missing. I followed her journey and completed her 28-day Masterclass "Love & Divine Feminine Energy.” From there, I followed my inspiration which led me to a 2-hour 1:1 with her. The process with Gemma was different, she is nurturing and genuine–she deeply wanted to support me and she show up for me at a difficult time.
We spent two hours together, and throughout the process I resonated so much with her descriptions, our conversation and the synchronicities that surfaced. I asked the universe for clarity and synchronicities; it wasn't really until the next morning that it hit me and awoke without noise. The noise was gone, and for the first time in my life I was grateful for all of the things in my life that "happened to me". It's still showing up for me, the experiences are flashing before my eyes and it's clear to me now these things didn't happen to me, they happened for me. My heart is open, the words are flowing–I live from a place of love now, never again from a place of fear. I am living a life of abundance and prosperity.”
-Natasha Zeleny, coach, entrepreneur, wife, step-mother
“I have only been to see you twice however your space is an escape from the stresses of life. It is a place where you can just let everything go and enjoy the experience. Your massage is transforming, nurturing and powerful. The conversation before helps to relax so when we enter your space I am already feeling lighter. Your hands feel like a warm hug all over. You listen to what my body wants, and brings me to a place of peace.
I would and have highly recommended people to contact Gemmasphere for themselves as it truly is a unique and transformative experience.”
-Jessica, fashion designer, interior designer
“You have the unique ability to connect to pain points that have never been conscious or have had any attention before. You did it with such love and attention and flow that I felt at ease to be with the pain in the moment and allow my unconscious mind to express to me what I needed to learn. Once I received the learning the pain lifted and the gift was then given to me.
Speaking of gifts.... You truly are a gift. You have the courage to go deep into you and your story to be able to heal others. You better yourself to in turn better the other person. Reciprocation for the sake of communion and connection are the words that come up. This is well beyond a massage and truly connects to the core of your being. It has brought out a potential in me that I never thought possible. You are so in the moment and at peace during the massage and I love your drive to continually learn, grow and master your art. You truly are an artist and you truly do use me as a canvas or better yet a sculpture. You sculpt out my potential statue by caressing my inner child to shine from within. You truly are a healer.
You have a mystery about you that translates into the Gemmasphere. It's that you don't know what's coming next and your sense of mystery is what makes the whole experience amazing. There is no way you can stay in your head and your body and mind and soul get stimulated because of it. You provide a multi sensorial experience that allowed me to bypass the physical senses to be truly in touch with my depth of spiritual being. You provide a sacred space in your sphere and in your heart to fully connect. This in turn allowed me to be free and present and is leading me to discover my deeper purpose. Your process has allowed me to understand vulnerability, power, grounded, presence, peace, love and joy within. You have the ability to take old paradigms around relationships and obliterate them to discover my true essence and to be able to speak my truth.
You truly are a gem and I could honestly write a book about each individual experience but that is not the purpose of this. I truly want you to know how grateful I am that you showed up in my life.”
-Miguel, architect, CEO
"Gemma's touch is transformational–a rebirth of innocence and sensuality, a deep encounter with forgiveness and velvety nostalgia. In her ethereal space, I felt nurture, kindness, radiant warmth. I felt a dream of familiar soft hands calmly circling between my shoulder blades, tenderness coaxing me to sleep, memories of whispered secrets shared between two souls and the adoring fingertips of a first love slowly tracing my untouched hips... my heart, my feet, my hands, my chest. Soft light.
Gemma's massage is a twirl through a ballad she conducts for you. You will face your own beauty, your body, your feminine ability to receive lasting, loving impressions of touch, of inherent affection. You will remind yourself that you carry such forces inside of you to share with others. You will learn to let go, to be kind, and to be free.”
-Nadia, writer, social worker
"Gemma is the place where you’re found. In just three sessions she gradually broke the mold I had been hibernating in for decades. She has a gift of love, understanding and listening.
In the massage, she made me feel so special, grounded and more beautiful. In our long-lasting talks, she took me beyond my stories into believing in myself. She taught me how to live in my body, how to be passionate about what I am able to create on a daily basis and to connect with people like I never had before. Now I catch myself recreating the intimacy I felt in the memory of our sessions and recognizing the new-found beauty of touch in my relationships!"
-Natalia, photographer
“The massage gave me permission to say ‘yes’ to myself.”
-Karina, filmographer
“I came to Gemma because I wanted to understand my sexuality on a deeper level and clear some energy blocks I felt were affecting the quality and quantity of my orgasms.
Honestly, I wasn’t frustrated by the problem because sadly, I didn’t see it as something I could fix until I started talking to Gemma. I just accepted what I thought was an inevitable part of aging, i.e. that my body would begin responding differently in sexual relationships. I saw the issue as more biological than emotional (boy was I wrong :) and though I desired a different experience, I didn’t spend much time thinking about it because I didn’t think I could change it.
I would say everything about Gemma’s process was different! It was completely tailored to me, it felt SO personal. Her style is relaxed yet professional so I felt at ease while also feeling in really good, competent hands. Her process was structured but flexible, and well-timed, I had the perfect amount of time for processing in between sessions.
It was a week or two after our final session that I began to really feel the effects of the work we’d done. My experience is Gemma’s process triggers and facilitates energetic shifts within us which are necessary to create the conditions we want in our lives. The evidence of these shifts were not immediately evident for me but became evident in the weeks following our last session. I felt a sense of clarity and freedom that empowered me to make a series of decisions regarding my partner at the time and regarding my self-image … who I really am and what I really want. I felt I understood myself better after working with Gemma, and not just my sexuality but my entire being. I saw myself differently, more powerfully. I saw all the agency I have that I thought I was lacking. I believe this was the result of Gemma releasing my energy blocks, allowing the old energy associated with past experience to rise to the surface and be released in order to make way for a new, higher frequency energy more true to who I am to come in.
Life now is fabulous! I care for myself more… I take time for myself, I’m more patient with where I am in my growth, I’m gentler with myself. I feel differently about my sexuality… empowered, excited, frisky ;). I am attracting new, different partners who are better-able to show up for me in the way I want - and I for them. I would say I feel more fully-expressed in my sexual relationships than I ever have and I credit Gemma 100%! What a gift.”
-Lorna Morin, entrepreneur, success advisor, mother, creator of SHE. inspired podcast and SHE. activated for female-owned brands
“The challenge of the massage was allowing myself to follow rather than trying to lead, and just focus on being in the moment. I had alternating feelings of being masculine in one moment and wanting to unleash, while being feminine and wanting to be touched and caressed in another. Ultimately the massage helped me on the journey I’m on to release all the layers that have been weighing me down and just feel my true senses and desires. Gemma made me feel very calm and collected, filled with purpose and loving intent.”
-Kimberly, optometrist, dancer
”Since I saw you, life has been so. much. more. rich! In my ten years of practicing registered massage therapy, this is the best massage I've ever received. Thank you for creating an environment and an experience for me to melt into. You really do have a gift.”
-Stephanie, registered massage therapist (RMT), rock-climber
“You truly are magical beyond measure. During the massage, I felt so present to allow it to just happen and the process brought out a huge revelation that continues to unfold to this day. Since I saw you, I feel me and connected to me in ways I have never experienced. I feel so grounded and conscious with my mind and body working in unison. I am totally intrigued by what you do and honestly I feel like I have been looking for this for a long, long time. Looking forward to the long winding road to sensual and FEELing discovery."
-Alexandra, neurologist, professor
“How powerful is it to have two women showing each other and showing a man about touch, sensuality, trust and awareness? I am surely a different person now that I have experienced these studio sessions. My husband was so pleased with my personal transformations that he took this opportunity to learn this valuable skill, together. We are enjoying our new-found passion for touch. I almost feel like more senses in my body have been unlocked with your wonderful art. We keep discovering each other through your inspiration. Thank you for all the love and care during this couple’s experience.”
-Sahar, teacher
“The way we flowed together and the embrace of feminine energy in the room felt like compassion, passion, safety and warmth - I felt like I just fell into a plush bed of at some point. In the days passed our session I have felt lighter, I feel more in tuned to my body and how things feel. You said something in our discussion that was interesting to me–"the way you felt in your sessions, you wanted to embrace that and feel like that and embodied that on a daily basis". I thought that was so profound. I really want to walk into that and apply that to my life as well. I want to feel intimate, sensational and warm on a regular.”
-Viviana, nurse, coach
“Thank you for giving of yourself. Such a gift to me, one I’m still digesting and smiling about. I just never knew I could feel so alive, so connected and loved, and so connected to my body. Wonderful is woefully inadequate. I am so honoured and grateful from the bottom of my heart.”
-Courtney, superwoman
“Gemma is so caring, loving, compassionate, mature and yet young hearted . She is a great listener and well-read, with insightful and beautifully descriptive imagery and depth. She has the ability to quickly and deeply connect with others, while being open minded and open hearted. She is a positive advisor, teacher and guide, shining with feminine power.”
-Katie, senior project manager
“I can feel myself coming out of my shell thanks to you. After our sessions, my body’s sensations have been heightened and the lessons led to very productive and beautiful days! I am loving this journey and you are a wonderful teacher. You’re such a breath of fresh air and a beacon of hope for me. I love what you said about healing being multidirectional. I look forward to seeing you again soon.”
-Miranda, senior consultant
“Gemma simply exudes beauty.”
-Jessica, optometrist, business owner, mother
