Founder, Host, Programme Director & Speaker
Three-time Olympian Gemma is excited to welcome you on our Sunday adventures of wellness, relaxation and learning. A passionate advocate for wellness education, the former New Zealand Women’s Hockey team member holds a degree in Sport and Exercise Science, and a Diploma in Positive Psychology and Wellbeing. She is passionate about sharing her insights and is committed to helping women lead happy and fulfilling lives. In her own words, here is why she started The Sunday Series:
"If you know me well, you'll know that I believe in women taking care of themselves. It's the old saying, we can't pour from an empty cup. As women we often care for others, but are guilty of leaving ourselves behind. Prioritising time for us is a lot easier said than done sometimes, but little moments can make a huge difference.
Sleep, exercise and nourishing food are all vital, but I believe the number one thing we need the most in life is connection. In the absence of connection, life is so much harder and our health really suffers. When you feel supported and connected, life is better, and you feel less alone. If you think of the best moments in your life, there's no doubt it involved other people. The tough moments? They're the ones that are there too. I'm lucky to be surrounded by an amazing collection of women who I love spending time with because I always feel so much better for seeing them.
The Sunday Series was born out of the idea that we don't get as many opportunities for face to face connection - it's often group messages, returning phone calls after 2-3 days or a half-finished conversation while your kids let you know it's time to leave the cafe!
It's about making time and these days will bring an amazing bunch of women together. It'll be a day away from multiple demands {kids, grocery shopping, washing, jobs, life admin- all that will be waiting for you when you get home} and a day off devices so we can just be where we are. It's giving yourself permission for some time out for you to do exactly what you feel you need on the day.
Everything will be taken care of for you. Delicious and nutritious food, some enjoyable movement, wellness presentations, soul food conversations and of course laughter and fun. We have so many exciting things planned and I'm really looking forward to meeting you. I hope with all my heart The Sunday Series can make you feel good too."
