Welcome. It’s great to meet you.
I’m passionate about resolving the painful legacy of childhood trauma — emotional and relational neglect, abandonment, bullying, shaming, and all types of abuse. I help individuals, families, and organisations, through tailored one-on-one sessions, mind-altering education, and dynamic classes, to alleviate suffering, foster recovery, and treat the invisible disability that is C-PTSD.
Because; let’s be honest. “Every ‘body’ has trauma.” — Gemini Adams
Let’s begin. It’s time to reclaim the real YOU!

WHAT STUDENTS SAY
“Seriously rich information. The Trauma-Awareness Training led to some potent personal insights, inspiring me to step-up the way I support others in my community, and radically change the way we run our European festival.” — Matteo, Festival Organiser
“Amazing, life-changing work. I’ve studied neuroscience for 10 years. In the workshop, it was the first time I’ve heard anyone translate this into a language that makes sense from an embodied perspective. You really helped re-connect the frozen parts of me, to understand why I dissociate so often, and to become present.” — Amanda, Neuroscientist
“I didn’t realise that what I’d been feeling was due to my autonomic nervous system being stuck in fight/flight. I’m seeing myself, and my students a totally different way now, knowing how to shift states with the somatic self-soothing tools I’ve learned. Just priceless!”— Tom, School Teacher
“Powerful. Both professionally and personally. I think everybody could benefit from this eye-opening knowledge - whether you’re a teacher, a judge, or a parent. I highly recommend these trainings.” — Isabelle, International Aid Worker

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
“Since our one-on-one sessions, I now see more of the stuff that was hiding in the shadows. And the biggest thing: I’ve stopped people-pleasing and caring so much about whether or not other people like me. What a relief!” — Sonia, Mother of Three
“I had no idea my ancestor’s suffering could impact my own life so strongly. When you traced the source of me smoking to my great grandmother’s death from drowning, I was skeptical. Then flabbergasted, when later I confirmed that this event actually happened!” — Joe, Logistics Manager
“I’ve always been stuck in my head and out of my body. It’s been incredible to move, more into myself. After you gave me a healthy outlet for my anger, I was amazed how my body naturally shifted into the relaxation response.” — Dr. Julie, Ph.D., Director of International Development
“I can’t thank you enough Gemini. Despite trying many therapists, in our sessions I actually felt safe enough to go into the most terrified parts of me; the vulnerable, frightened infant who felt totally abandoned. The wounded child is no longer running the show. My addictive patterns with porn and drugs dissolved. Life is just beginning, despite me being 52-years-old.” — Paul, Company Director
