It has been fabulous working with Gerry – as a business owner you often put yourself last, but you need to be looking after yourself so you can look after your business! Our sessions went deep into the way I tick, and have been really useful at unlocking some long held beliefs. She is fun to work with and not afraid to challenge your way of thinking!

I have two children with very different personalities and challenges in life. My son was always quick to anger and had a very defeatist attitude if things didn't go his way. He would yell and swear at the smallest thing. He seemed to have no real confidence in himself and would give up on things easily if he didn't 'get it' straight away eg, surfing, board games, rugby. My daughter on the other hand was generally very happy-go-lucky and would happily entertain herself. She is a big worrier and carries a lot of anxieties around friends, safety at home, feelings of others and how others perceive her. I was at a loss in terms of how to build her confidence and ease her unwarranted concerns.

After meeting with Gerry and hearing what she had to say from her sessions with my children I was blown away. So much of it rang true and resonated with me and she had never physically met my kids. It was a bit of a lightbulb moment for us as parents to see our children and their behaviours in another light. I found I could understand their emotions more and work through strategies with Gerry to try and overcome these. For my son particularly I found he was a lot calmer and happier after a session with Gerry. It was as if a big weight had been lifted from his shoulders. After a session with Gerry about my daughter I found I could understand her anxieties and where they stemmed from. Society can often box our children in, yet no two people are the same so it really helped me to understand her behaviours and to look at how we might manage them in a different way.

Gerry was incredibly kind and easy to talk with. She has a wonderful ability to connect with you and makes you feel at ease through the whole process. Thank you Gerry 🙂

I first met Gerry when my son was 4.5, he is an identical twin and has an older sister. He was often grumpy and would frustrate very easily. He was showing a lot of aggression towards his siblings and especially to me. He was often in his brother's shadow and would let his brother do the talking for him when out of our home. He was very needy and always wanting to be carried and wanting my attention. All of this was causing tension in our house as he was difficult to manage alongside his siblings. The night after our first session with Gerry he seemed like a different kid. He was doing dress ups on his own and showing so much enjoyment and happiness. A few sessions later, I have noticed a huge improvement with his aggression. He doesn't anger as easily and isn't taking his frustration out on me at all. He is showing so much more love for me, but he is also content with his position in the family and seems to have an understanding that my love is split equally. He is spending more time playing on his own and his Kindy teachers have also noticed he is speaking out more and trying new things without requiring his brother next to him. These changes are gradual and subtle but as I look back on the last 6 weeks, I can't believe how he has transformed. Our house is less hectic and we are all feeling calmer. The whole process was incredibly easy and time efficient. Was great to be able to have a session over the phone without my son even being in the house. Gerry was exceptional to work with, so easy to talk to and she explained every thing well, it is amazing how spot on she is! We are so appreciative and grateful for all her help. Thank you!

I think we all have ‘stuff’ throughout our lives that we try to deal with - personal demons, annoying life situations that creep in and won’t leave you alone and some of them can be so damn destructive and stop you being who you should be.  After 5 sessions with Gerry and not knowing what really to expect I have discovered what it’s actually like to be me with no baggage and it’s completely life changing.  Her method is easy, relaxed and gentle and I cannot recommend her enough.  You literally have nothing to lose and everything to gain.  Pure happiness is achievable.

“Gerry’s use of muscle testing and her intuition pin-pointed negative emotions that I was holding onto. Acknowledging that I had stored emotions such as anger and nervousness was hugely impactful for me to learn how to let them go. I feel Gerry’s healing was a good wake up call for me to be more in touch with how I am really feeling and to not hold onto things. In the days following the healing, I felt lighter and like I had my spark back again. Highly recommend to all who might be feeling stuck or would like another insight into their health.”

“I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Gerry at a course in Christchurch. Right from the get go Gerry was warm and vibrant. Her ability to put others at ease while guiding them to self discovery was incredible.

If you are looking for someone to help you identify potential barriers and find solutions to progress you forward on your journey, I would highly recommend Gerry. She is not afraid to call a spade a spade and while Gerry doesn't claim to be an overly empathetic person, I found that she most certainly is!

As far as business goes, Gerry has proven herself successful with her own retail store and also with developing other companies alongside it. I know Gerry will do a fantastic job of directing your business to grow, while simultaneously developing your personal life as an added bonus. Action and implementation strategies are definitely her strengths.

No matter where you are wanting to head, Gerry will be of great assistance, helping you make things happen and proving herself invaluable to your company and you.

“Gerry has been instrumental in assisting me to find practical solutions to the overwhelm that I was feeling.

Gerry has a unique solutions-based approach weaved in with the emotion code, to help release trapped emotions as well as forge pathways forward.  

I leave a session with Gerry feeling calm and with tangible actions that put me back in the driver’s seat.”

I made contact with Gerry after hearing about her through a friend who had also reached out. My 6 year old was dealing with some very obvious internal pressures and anxieties around school and sibling rivalry. He had unreasonable expectations and put a lot of pressure on himself which was causing so much stress for him, and the family. It was extremely challenging for everyone and heart breaking to see as a parent. I was at a loss as to how to help the wee man so I reached out

My first meeting with Gerry was several months ago. I felt instantly at ease in her presence. She was very approachable and understanding. My son was not present during the first meeting so I explained my concerns and talked a little about him. Since then Gerry has done a number of remote sessions and we chatted about what came up after the session. It often blew my mind with the things she told me. It was like she knew my son the way I did. The whole process has been super easy!

Looking back now the change in him is remarkable. He is much more secure in himself. He is able to regulate his emotions better and feels confident in talking things through. He has been so brave with school and the mornings are a breeze (mostly). Not only that but the relationship with his sister has strengthened significantly and he has really taken on the role of being a caring and helpful big brother. On top of all that, while working with Gerry I have picked up a lot of tips and tricks on how to better deal with the kids when things are tricky. Throughout this process I have learned a lot about myself as a person, and as a parent. I really value what Gerry has done for us and look forward to seeing what comes from the sessions with my youngest.

“Gerry has the extraordinary gift of being incredibly intuitive and very realistic and action-focussed at the same time. Gerry 's fine-tuned intuition and ability to quickly grasp a situation holistically and rapidly uncover the core of the issue, mixed with her expertise in business and her desire to help everyone achieve the life they deserve and dream of, make her an extremely effective coach, capable of inducing powerful change. 

She has the ability to quickly identify areas of need, and effectively help you put in place tangible support structures and solutions. Having ample experience in setting up and running her own business and organisations, Gerry is the perfect coach for anyone who has always wanted to make the big leap to create their own business, but has either lacked the confidence or the know -how to get started..”

“I want to give my thoughts on the service Geraldine offers.  Disclosure first!  Geraldine is my niece who I see briefly 2 or 3 times a year when I visit ChCh.  A few months ago when I was visiting my sister, Geraldine called in to say hello.  She asked "how are you?"  There was something about the way she asked - it wasn't the words - it was something that simply hit me and I found myself responding -  with the truth. That just doesn't happen.

Geraldine doesn't know that much about me (in my 70's) - other than that I have the challenge of a schizophrenic son, but not any of the other more recent significant issues of the past 2 years.   I almost always present a very positive 'OK' front, and at no time disclosed to my family that I felt I had been fighting depression.

Anyway - Geraldine told me she was doing something or other and would I like her to work on me a bit - I actually can't even remember what she did say!!  But we sat in the lounge and she got down to work!   Something about heart wall issues, so I was no further enlightened, but I have always had strong spiritual beliefs, so I thought it was something along those lines!

Long story short - Geraldine identified MANY issues - some I thought would be obvious to her - in current time - and she could have just humoured me and agreed - but no - she was adamant these issues were from a different time period.    Anyway - after we had finished - she asked if she could 

continue later without me - and then sent me a further list of 'findings' .  I had time to really go over these things and most made huge sense.   

But I didn't realise until some time later that my feelings and attitude and response to some challenges, were happening in a different way.  I didn't notice the changes because they weren't dramatic - but in review - very significant.   

Anyway - on my trip to ChCh - only about a month later - we caught up again and Geraldine 'finished me off!'.  To be truthful - when I got back home,  I had to ask her what it is actually called, that she does, so I could tell my daughter - The Emotion Code!   
Whatever Geraldine did for me - or to me - or with me - don't ask me to rationalise it - all I can say, is that in regard to my several current, difficult challenges and circumstances,  I feel more serene, more accepting, less vitriolic, more rational, more able to cope - just lighter.  I'm not sure if that is what was intended - or is always the outcome - but that was my experience.
