“You’re my Beyoncé”

Nicole Desmond (fan girl & client)

Hi, I'm Gemma – a spiritual teacher, modern-day prophet, speaker, and self-help author. I'm here because life threw me some massive curveballs, and I chose to use them as a powerful catalyst for change.

In 2018, after a life-altering week involving a marriage breakdown, a house move, and the shocking discovery that I had cancer, I stepped away from my successful corporate career as a business and sales leader. It was time to rebuild my life from the ground up.

I've faced some serious challenges – navigating a divorce, overcoming cancer twice (including losing a breast), a third cancer recurrence in 2025, and experiencing a profound spiritual awakening. These experiences didn't break me; they shaped me, strengthened me, and guided me toward the powerful path I'm on today. Along the way, I’ve built a thriving business and following, become a published author, and hosted a chart-topping podcast for 4 years (Apple’s #2 in Spirituality) – all while helping others find strength, clarity, and purpose in their own journeys.

Now, I use everything I've learned – both practically and spiritually – to help audiences step into their own resilience, embrace their unique power, and lead more authentic, fulfilling lives.

My talks are down-to-earth, inspiring, and deeply relatable. Whether you're looking to empower your audience or team, build emotional resilience, or simply support them to reconnect with their inner strength, I'm here to light the way.

My Signature Talk

Comfy Shoes Won’t Take You Far

How the right footwear – and mindset – help us reach our goals

Empowerment is at the heart of everything I teach – because when we feel empowered, we show up differently for ourselves, for others, and for the world around us. My keynote inspires audiences to reclaim their confidence, trust their inner wisdom, and take ownership of their mindset, choices, and potential. It’s a powerful message for anyone ready to step into their fullest, most authentic, and most courageous self – whether they’re navigating personal challenges, leading a team, or simply wanting more from life.

At its core, this talk is about showing people they already have what it takes.

This is what organisers and attendees say:

  • "Gemma was an absolute standout at our conference"

    “Not only brilliant on stage, but we had an endless stream of delegates raving about her afterwards! Her talk was the perfect mix of heartfelt, empowering, and entertaining, and she had the entire room leaning in, laughing, and reflecting deeply. We can’t wait to bring her back!”

    – Conference organiser

  • “Gemma’s talk was exactly what I didn’t know I needed"

    I left feeling lighter, braver, and so much clearer about what’s been holding me back. She was very down to earth and has this beautiful way of making you feel seen and inspired at the same time – like she’s cheering you on personally from the stage.”

  • “Gemma delivered exactly what we needed – inspiration grounded in real-life stories that were relevant to us"

    “Her session on empowerment, and accountability hit the mark. We had excellent feedback, and several team members called it the highlight of the week in the weekly roundup. There’s been a mindset shift within the team”

    CEO StreamGo (internal event)

  • “I’ve been to a lot of motivational events, but Gemma’s was on another level"

    “Her honesty, humour, and spiritual insight made me rethink how I approach my life and trust myself. I walked away with tools I could use immediately – and I’ve already seen shifts happening!”

“A quick hello from me, Gemma Lonsdale! In this short video, I share a bit about who I am, what drives my work, and how I’d love to inspire and empower your audience. Watch to get a feel for my story, my energy, and what I can bring to your next event.”

Delight your delegates!

I work closely with you to create a session that aligns perfectly with the message you want to deliver and the goals you want your delegates to achieve.

My talks are flexible and can be adapted to suit a wide range of audiences and environments. Whether in person or online, I’m here to ensure the experience works seamlessly for your event.

  • I’m all about helping women tap into their power and create the life they truly want. As a strong advocate for women’s rights and equality – whether in the workplace or life in general – I’m passionate about seeing women embrace their worth, own their strengths, and step into their power. It’s about breaking down barriers and giving women the confidence to go after what they deserve.

  • Being authentic means showing up as the real you – not the version you think the world wants to see. I love helping people reconnect with who they truly are, underneath the pressure to fit in or play small. In my talks, I guide audiences to own their voice, trust their instincts, and feel confident being unapologetically themselves. Authenticity is the foundation for real confidence, genuine connection, and lasting fulfilment. I’ll help your audience step into their truth, embrace their quirks, and realise that who they are is more than enough.

  • Empowerment is all about taking charge of your own life and creating the future you want. I love helping people tap into their inner strength, trust themselves, and take bold steps toward what they truly want. When you believe in yourself and make decisions that align with who you are, you become unstoppable! In my talks, I’ll help your audience embrace their own power, overcome self-doubt, and start making moves towards the life they’ve always dreamed of. It’s all about owning your journey and having fun with it along the way!

  • I speak openly about my experience with cancer – not just the physical journey, but the emotional, mental and spiritual impact it has. Whether you’re audience is navigating a diagnosis, supporting a loved one, or finding their feet again after treatment, I share real, grounded insights that offer hope, strength and perspective. It’s about facing the hard stuff with honesty and heart – and reminding people that even in the darkest moments, there’s still light to hold on to.

  • Spirituality is the connection to something bigger than ourselves, and it can be a powerful tool for personal growth. In my talks, I share how to tap into the Divine, your inner wisdom, and find peace amidst life’s chaos. I believe spirituality doesn’t have to be tied to one belief system – it’s about connecting to your true self and living in alignment with your values and having faith that you’re being guided and protected by something bigger. I’ll help your audience find that inner calm and clarity that comes from listening to their soul, so they can navigate life with more purpose and peace.

    I don’t speak church. I don’t speak dogma. I speak truth, trust, and timing – spoken through my direct connection to the divine.

  • I deliver prophetic insight and guidance to help individuals and groups align with their highest purpose. Through direct revelation and inspired teaching, I bring clarity, correction, and empowerment – helping people recognise and respond to the Divine leading in their lives with confidence and faith.

Your Event

What’s your level of ‘woo’?

✨ woo-woo (adj.)
/ˈwuːˌwuː/

  1. Relating to spirituality, intuition, energy work, or anything a little mystical, magical, or beyond the ordinary.

Example:
“Gemma may be woo-woo – but she’s also sharp as a tack, straight-talking, and refreshingly real.”

Not every audience wants the same level of woo – and that’s absolutely fine. Every event, every organisation, every room has its own vibe. That’s why I created the Woo-O-Meter – to make it easy for you to choose the approach that feels right for your people.

Whether it’s no-woo (straight-talking, practical wisdom), woo (things like intuition and meditation are the norm), or full-on woo-woo (all in on spirit, energy, visions and beyond), I tailor my talks to meet your audience exactly where they are.

Whatever you choose, the core message of empowerment, authenticity, and self-trust always stays at the heart of what I share.

Topics I speak on:

  • Using Life’s Hardest Moments as Portals to Personal and Spiritual Growth

  • How I Turned My Dark Night of the Soul Into a Calling to Inspire and Empower Others

  • What I Learned About Trust, Surrender and Action When Life Fell Apart

  • A Prophet’s Guide to Reclaiming Your Power and Living Boldly

  • Navigating the In-Between When You’re Not Where You Were, but Not Yet Where You’re Going

  • Building Inner Resilience in Uncertain Times

  • Ditching the 'Work Hard, Play Safe' Narrative and Trusting There’s a Different Way to Succeed

  • Reclaiming Your Power, Voice, and Confidence in a World That Benefits From You Playing Small

  • How to Stop Outsourcing Your Worth and Start Leading From the Inside Out

  • How to Build a Real, Raw Relationship With a Higher Power (Without the Church, the Dogma, or the Fear)

  • The Truth About Surrender, Timing, and Miracles

  • How to Hear Divine Guidance in a World That’s Distracted, Disconnected, and Overwhelmed
