We had the good fortune of connecting with Gemma Owusu and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Gemma, any advice for those thinking about whether to keep going or to give up?
Only you really know if you should keep going or give up on your business idea. I have had many ideas for businesses over time, which have changed, grown, or pivoted to something else. If you do listen to the advice of others, it is always important to sit with yourself and feel into what it is that you really want/need for the final decision. I feel we also must have compassion for ourselves and our decisions, and if we do decide to “give up” it doesn’t need to be permanent.
Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
My work is all centered around people reconnecting with their bodies and inner wisdom. In today’s society we are often disconnected from a life that is thriving and we end up just in a mode of surviving. This can be connected to childhood trauma, beliefs, patterns, lifestyle, food, etc.. I work with people to uncover what it is that they truly want, their life purpose and how to get there. I tune into their body to translate back to them what they can not hear at the moment.
Much of my work was not taught and is a gift that I now recognise is my purpose to share with others.
I work with people in person and remotely in a 60 minute session. Both are equally as powerful, with people saying they felt safe, and comfortable to let their guard down and gained clarity, insight and confidence in their capabilities after just 1 session. “If you think your body is trying to tell you something, a session with Gemma is like giving it a voice, highly recommend”.
Since becoming a mother myself I am being drawn to focusing on working with mothers and highlighting our importance in this reconnection. Maternal Health is foundational to Humanties Health and if we as a society continue to forget this, then a society thriving will be hard to reach.
I also co-create and host retreats for women who desire to step outside the matrix and into their birthright to be free and enjoy a soft life. ReKinect Experiences’ intention is not only for women to relax and recharge but to assist in Re-designing lifestyle, environment, freedom and support systems. Our next retreat is in Costa Rica on May 18th 2023, come and join us.
Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I am from England and haven’t spent time in this beautiful city yet! Although I am called to do so soon! A friend of mine has a salon in Atlanta called Nu Beauty Parlor, which also has a range of other products…. so hit her up.
Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
There are many people who have assisted me along the way since I left the London Corporate World in 2014. My mum, I would say always believed in my ideas and supported me in traveling the globe and starting my own things.
Ibiza Retreats really allowed me to utilize my Corporate skills in a well-being setting when I managed a 5-star retreat company. This was the beginning of my merging of both worlds.
I am very lucky to have many friends around the world who helped me continue to explore and create (in their spare rooms or sofas).
More recently I would say Monique for the co-creation of our business ReKinect Experiences, and re-writing family dynamics to what feels better for us.
