Gemma Evans Coaching
After my dad killed himself when I was 17 I moved out of my childhood home to live with my grandparents, It was during this time I lived abroad for a year burying my head in a wave of alcohol, late nights and partying. I didn’t grieve as I thought it was a sign of weakness, I had been strong since watching my dad take an over dose, being strong was the only option I knew right then, I met and married that father of my 2 boys and 1 month after the birth of my second baby my brother was in a tragic car accident which resulted in him losing his right arm from the elbow down, this mixed with postnatal depression caused me to have a nervous breakdown 18 months later I ended my marriage. I got my head down and set about building my business and it was then that Gemma Evans Tanning launched.
8 months later I met a man in my local pub, we had mutual friends and he was from the same village as me so when he asked me out on a date I thought, why not? This decision would shape my future like I would never know and only 6 months into the relationship I had given my home to my ex-husband, given my car back to the finance company, lost my business, declared myself financially bankrupt and rehomed my 2 little dogs. He raised his hands to me for the first time about 9 months in and I left him, at first sleeping in my brother’s spare room with my 2 boys and then getting my own house, I remember I had nothing, no fridge, no washing machine, no bed.
I used what money I did have to decorate the boy’s bedroom and I slept on the floor until my friend gave me a sofa, after I collected the boys from school each day, I would go to the shop to buy fresh milk and a bag of ice, I kept the milk fresh in the centre of the sink in the kitchen using the ice, by the next morning the ice would be gone and the milk would eventually turn sour as it was the middle of summer. My perpetrator knew he was losing control over me and one morning I woke up to missed calls and videos on my phone, clicking on the videos I quickly realised that he was cutting his wrists and trying to end his life whilst telling me it was my fault.
Immediately I returned to that 10-year-old girl who tried so many times to save her dad but couldn’t. I returned to the relationship and things took a turn for the worst, 27th December 2013 he tried to strangle me and the neighbours head me screaming and called the police, he was arrested and a date set for his trial in May 2014. He once again tried to kill himself by driving his car off the road and I decided not to press charges, the police told me they would be pressing charges and the CPS would go ahead with or without me, I had panic alarms fitted, I was on first response, but that still didn’t stop him and, on the 15th February, he hid my panic alarm and tried to kill me then killed himself.
As I healed myself and told my story more and more people, mainly women came forward to ask me could I help them and that’s how I started my coaching business Gemma Evans Self-love and Confidence (link to pages). I studied NLP Neuro Linguistic Programming and became a practitioner and also studied to an advanced Life Coach course. I spent hours developing my own course from scratch putting together everything I had done myself and using what I had learned so I could help others and my 10-week self-love and confidence 121 and group coaching program was born.
I am very proud of this program and have already coached and helped 100s of women, I am currently looking at building an online self-teach course that you can work through at your own pace but for now let me tell you a bit more about my 121 and group coaching.
I had to rebuild myself physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. It took time and is still and ongoing thing and something I have to work on every single day, but I made a decision not to let my past control my future and every day I stand by that decision as hard as it may be sometimes.
Group sessions
These sessions are already planned out and we go through a structured step by step guide, each week I will ask you to participate in tasks either in the group or after the call. All the calls take place via zoom and times and dates will be already planned in.
Payment is upfront before the course starts with no option to spread the costs
10 sessions to take you through the exact steps that I took when I was on rock bottom with no love for myself, no confidence, no boundaries, no structure and my health was suffering. I just existed, I lived in my past and had no idea how to move forward.
The steps guided me to the person I am now. My love for me is the most important love of all, I am bursting with confidence in all areas of my life, I have clear boundaries for how I treat myself and how I allow other people to treat me, I have a crystal-clear plan of where my life is going, my health is improving every single day. I now thrive and live my life to the full.
