In this episode, Kez sits down with Gemma Linnell, Body Energetics Practitioner and Holistic Myotherapist, to explore the terrain of healing. The places where the body whispers long before the mind catches up. The places where trauma shapes pain, resilience, and the way we learn to reconnect with ourselves again.
Gemma shares her path from traditional Myotherapy into intuitive-led bodywork, and how she now weaves both science and energetics to empower her clients to reconnect with their bodies. This is a raw and honest episode where Gemma shares her journey of battling with chronic physical health conditions, how this reshaped her identity and direction, and the profound impact of the sudden loss of her mother. Through grief, Gemma’s heart cracked open, revealing the intersection between spirit and science, and a deeper understanding of the body as both messenger and guide.
Together, we explore the mind, body, and spirit connection, the body as the gateway to healing, and the intersection of spiritual awakening, grief, and identity. We speak about Gemma building a business in her early twenties, how her work has evolved over time, and the role alternative and holistic healing methods have played in her personal life and professional practice.
This episode is for anyone walking the non-linear road of healing, anyone holding pain in their body, and anyone wanting to understand the emotional and spiritual root system beneath physical discomfort.
