Hello – Jo here!
We are a family run enterprise who work from our smallholding in the Scottish Borders. I am the Coach offering Coaching in a safe & structured environment working on a 1:1 basis, with families or small groups (max 6) to ensure your needs are met.
Coaching, Well-being & Healing sessions are available in our purpose-built Healing Hut which houses our cosy log burner & Reiki Room strategically built by our bubbling burn, overlooking our field where our horses graze alongside a wealth of wildlife & habitats (and parking!).
Coaching for Natural Horsemanship is available at your Yard or field (no fancy round pens etc needed!) or you are welcome to bring your pony/horse to us and use our small outdoor arena.
Over the past 25 years, Compassion Based & Action Learning Approaches have been at the core to how I work. As well as my Mental Health Nursing Degree my qualifications & experience include:- an MSc in Leading & Managing Change Through Action Learning & Inquiry, Teaching & Assessing, Reiki Master, Diplomas in Coaching & Mindfulness, Natural Horsemanship & Equine Facilitated Learning.
I ran GemSol Reiki (www.gemsolreiki.com) alongside my NHS career as a Mental Health Nurse from 2009 and after achieving our family dream of re-locating to the Scottish Borders, made the life changing decision to leave my nursing career. GemSol Connections brings together the balance of Well-being, Healing, Growth & Change working on an individual and personal level to help people of all ages identify, achieve and maintain their life aims and goals.
Throughout the years and my own healing and discovery journey, the elements working as a mental health nurse, working with individuals and teams in improvement and team development roles, coaching individuals and teams, Reiki and my love of horses all fit together to create a balanced and evidence-based collection of tools for working with people and animals.
The collaboration of ancient traditions and modern techniques and tools enables us to balance and harmonise the primary energy of our emotions, thoughts and spiritual lives whilst using transformational approaches and tools to facilitate the changes we identify that are both immediate and consistent.
Please feel free to get in touch to find out how we can help you achieve your dreams and goals.
Warmest wishes,
Jo.
