From Inside the Hive

Gemma David is a wellbeing practitioner, mental health and emotional awareness trainer and facilitator, acupuncturist, yoga and meditation teacher, speaker and writer.  As well as owning and managing a thriving private practice in Bristol, she also works in schools, universities, businesses and charities all over the UK.

I first met Gemma at Fforest, and fell utterly under her spell during an incredible Sound Bath experience. She is a beautiful, wise soul and just a lovely person to be in the company of.

TRIGGER WARNING: Our conversation touches on miscarriage. 

You can find Gemma at http://quietheart.co.uk on on instagram @thequietheart and on Facebook  as The Quiet Heart Bristol

There are a couple of swear words in this podcast, so you might want to listen with headphones if there are Littles in the room.

It's nearly my birthday, and here are a few reflections on what that means for me in December!

Join me for  The Retrospective on 19th December (https://quietthehive.com/courses/)

Beth Kempton is an author, Reiki Master, yoga teacher, traveller, mentor and Mama! She is the author of five books and has been translated into 25 different languages. She's featured in magazines such as TIME, British Vogue, Psychologies, The Simple Things (where I first met her) and The Sunday Time (amongst so many more). 

One of Beth's courses (Excavate Your Life) is one of the reasons that I'm on a sabbatical right now.

Speaking to Beth was an absolute joy and this conversation is full of wisdom. I hope you enjoy it too.
