Workplace Wellbeing Workshops with Gemma Douglas
I help individuals regulate their nervous systems, reduce stress, and reconnect with themselves—using the science and power of the breath. My workplace workshops are practical, engaging, and evidence-informed, offering teams simple yet effective tools to manage pressure, boost focus, and enhance emotional wellbeing.
Participants walk away with a deeper understanding of how their breath impacts performance, resilience, and recovery—both at work and beyond. Through interactive sessions, I guide people to use their breath like a remote control for their nervous system—creating more calm, clarity, and control in real-time moments of stress.
Whether you're looking to support mental wellbeing, improve team energy, or build emotional resilience across your organisation, these workshops are a powerful way to invest in your people.

TESTIMONIALS:
Alana Munro, Senior Sergeant, NZ Police.
I am a Senior Sergeant within the NZ Police, based in Hastings. I had been following Gemma for a while on Instagram and I knew instantly that I wanted her to come and present a seminar, while we all know breath work is important for everyone, it is even more important for our staff who are facing high risk, complex situations daily. They are consistently in the fight or flight mode.
From the moment that I contacted Gemma, she was so accommodating, she responded almost immediately and we arranged for her to present a 1 hour seminar.
Fast forward to the day of the women’s collective event, we had close to 90 female staff there and Gemma got on stage straight after our Commissioner (this would be a hard act to follow for anyone!)
Wow! From the moment Gemma started speaking, she captivated the entire room. She led the staff through breathwork techniques specific to what our staff encounter around trying to get out of the fight or flight mode but she also explained the science behind the breathwork and why it is so important. She has given the staff the resources to use breathwork wherever and whenever they need it. I have already spoken to Gemma to present some further seminars for all staff as I believe it will change the way our officers react to heightened situations but also in their everyday lives.
Thank you so much Gemma, you are such a good human inside and out and what you are doing will truely change lives.
I have spoken to staff following the seminar and this is the feedback I received:
“Before today I was wondering why we were doing breathwork and didn’t think I needed this, how wrong was I! Just after doing a few of the techniques I felt calmer and more relaxed”
“My jaw was on the ground throughout the entire seminar”
“Who knew what breathwork could do!”
“I went home and put tape on my mouth when it came time to sleep, I am going to keep trying as I believe it made a difference”
“Can we get her to do a longer seminar next time? I was so intrigued and didn’t want her to stop.”

“We've had Gemma in to do a guided team workshop twice now and I can not recommend her enough. Gemma offers a refreshingly modern approach to stress reduction that's designed to enhance every day living within the demanding realities of today's society.
Her workshops are designed to meet all participants where they are, making it an inclusive, fun and truly connective session where everyone comes out feeling more self-aware, awakened and empowered to implement some truly powerful self-care tools.”
