Gemma

About

I am a highly empathetic person that is able to understand and share the feelings of others. I receive great joy from supporting other people and sharing in their experiences and have a strong sense of social justice. Raised by a committed and loving family, I have been taught the benefit of establishing and maintaining strong connections with people across a diverse range of environments. I am able to remain objective in my views and am person-centered in my interactions. I have had my own experiences with mental health and domestic violence and have built resilience and resolve over years of self love, self improvement and self actualisation. As such, I would be a strong advocate for the people that I work with. I believe that my non-judgemental and caring nature, as well as my respect for confidentiality would make me a suitable candidate for this role. I enjoy all artistic processes across a range of mediums. I would be happy to share my skills in painting, signage, furniture restoration and woodwork. I am an also an avid gardener and would love to establish and maintain a herb, vegetable or citris fruit garden. I am the chef in our home and love to cook for friends and family. Im very happy to pass on my skills and recipes to anyone interested. I regularly take my dog Billie Bush walking and anywhere she can run around chasing a ball or birds. I like to keep our home clean and organised and happy to pass on my skills, tips and tricks in any situation required. I enjoy expanding my skill set and having new experiences. I would be happy to engage in and explore the interests of the clients that I am partnered with.
