Cultivate Unshakable
Self-Worth

Why is it so hard to know what we want and ask for it? 

Why is it so hard to say no?

Why am I so damn tired all the time?

Over the last 10 years I have worked with hundreds of professional women asking the same questions.

Women who have achieved outer world success on paper, but on the inside are existentially exhausted, disconnected from their bodies, and struggle to express their authentic-selves.

I’ve noticed that the root of these patterns lie in low self-worth.

Let me explain.

Women who know what they want
have been taught that what they want matters.

Women who ask for what they want
know that they deserve it.

And women who say ‘no’
know that they have value beyond what they provide for others.

If you’re still reading, I’m guessing that you are:

  • A chronic people pleaser who hates disappointing others

  • Doing everything all the time, yet reluctant to ask for help

  • Highly empathetic and struggle to set boundaries

  • Holding yourself to absurdly high standards, yet put up with poor behaviour from others

  • Feeling like you need to hide your authentic self to be loved

  • Not satisfied in your relationships or job, but are afraid to ask for more

 MY APPROACH IS

Psychological, Soulful, Strategic & Embodied

Supporting women out of habitual patterns that stem from low self-esteem, to become their most confident, clear and courageous selves is my absolute all-time LOVE.

Every journey is unique because so are you. Here are the building blocks I use to create lasting transformation.

  • The women I work with are usually surprised to discover that they are deeply connected to their bodies, but have been taught not to trust them. I act as the mirror and guide to support you to identify your body signals and interpret their wisdom.

    How it looks: I use different methods of embodiment from ‘tracking’ your internal sensations and emotions, to more physical forms such as dance or emotion release. These practices help to release pent up emotions that often make us (quite literally) sick and tired, and learn how to experience uncomfortable emotions and sensations with compassion.

  • We get stuck in patterns, such as people pleasing, conflict avoidance or low self-esteem, because these were once useful strategies that kept us safe. I support your journey to reparent your inner children so that they feel safe enough to release their cute pudgey hands from the wheel and get you back in the driving seat.

    How it looks: Through guided visualisation and dialogue we journey to past memories where these patterns began. You meet these younger parts of yourself while staying rooted in your wise adult self - showing them compassion and standing up for them. Self-worth is developed from the inside out.

  • My clients have been stuck in habitual patterns for years, so breaking out of them requires practicing the alternative until it feels natural.

    How it looks: We use role play to practice imaginary scenarios.

    Asking for what you want: we workshop this until it sounds clear and confident (rather than confused or apologetic)

    Setting boundaries: We practice different ways of saying no, setting boundaries that are both kind and firm, and having difficult conversations.

    Immunising to rejection and dissappointment: We practice receiving no’s, so that we get used to tolerating the sensation of rejection and support our inner children to feel secure in the process.

  • What sets this work apart from therapy is that we are also focused on action and making changes in our lives from a place that is soulful and strategic

    How it looks: 

    Soulful and strategic decision making: I support you to work with your body, heart and mind to come to decisions rooted in what you long for and what is good for you, and impliment an action plan that is strategic and acheivable. 

    Homework: This could be something from our sessions to practice, resources to research, action points set by you, or relational experiments based on our role plays.

Live Life
on your terms

After working together my clients frequently experience:

  • A profound connection to their body, listening to its wisdom and following its guidance

  • A sense of self-compassion and confidence that they’ve never experienced before

  • Changes in all their relationships - standing up for themselves with love and experiencing greater intimacy, authenticity and reciprocity as a result

  • Clarity in direction, that comes from owning and following their authentic desires

  • Increased vitality that comes from no longer over-extending, and learning to ask for support

  • Living in a way that feels true to their values

Testimonials

  • "People around me have commented on how much I seem to be ‘glowing ‘ and truly in my element. "

    Gaia has been an incredible source of support, wisdom, and inspiration throughout this journey.

    Since working with her, I feel more aligned, excited, and creatively alive.

    People around me have even commented on how much I seem to be ‘glowing ‘ and truly in my element.

    Gaia not only helps you connect with your ideas but also teaches you to listen to your logic, your intuition, and your body. I’m so grateful for her guidance and the transformation this year has brought.

  • "Gaia has kept me accountable through deep healing and inner transformation."

    It is challenging for me to put into words the beautiful heart healing journey, love, wisdom, and deep support I have received through working intensively with Gaia these past few years. Gaia has kept me accountable through deep healing and inner transformation. Gaia is a gifted and talented heart-centered leader and empowerment coach. Brave and kind, playful and wise, Gaia is a guide anyone would be fortunate to have in this life to light your way. 💞🙏💞

  • "There was me before I howled and me after.  It was a transition point. "

    When I came to Gaia I was experiencing a lot of anxiety and had lost all sense of joy,

    With Gaia I have been healing past hurts, pushing through boundaries and blockages and gained a sense of purpose and the skills, structure and confidence to move forward and make things happen.  

    The best part was howling like a wolf.  This was massive for me and very healing.  There was me before I howled and me after.  It was a transition point.  

    I am now doing what I was put here to do and doing it well.  I have let go of trying to be perfect and am being excellent instead.
