The Embodied Performance Coach

Where Science meets soul - and performance becomes personal

Your best performance doesn’t come from pushing harder. It comes from knowing yourself deeply — your body, your mind, your limits and your edge.

At The Embodied Performance Coach, we redefine what it means to perform. This is where evidence-based training meets nervous system regulation, where self-awareness fuels resilience, and where women learn to work with their bodies, not against them. Whether you’re an athlete chasing your next level or a woman ready to unlock her potential, this is where you reclaim trust in your body — and rise beyond what you thought was possible.

Meet the Founder

Gemma Blamire

For over two decades, I’ve walked alongside women at every stage of their journey — as a personal trainer, strength and conditioning coach, women’s health specialist, intuitive psychology coach and trauma-informed practitioner.

I’ve witnessed the power of the female body and mind — not just to endure, but to adapt, thrive, and excel when truly understood.

My work is rooted in science and guided by soul. I blend cutting-edge knowledge of female physiology, performance and nervous system regulation with a deeply human approach that honours the whole woman — her story, her body, her potential.

I created The Embodied Performance Coach to rewrite the narrative around women’s performance. Because true performance isn’t about chasing more — it’s about building trust, safety and self-belief from the inside out.

When a woman feels safe in her body, she can rise to any challenge.

This isn’t just training.
It’s transformation.

Why choose Embodied Performance?

Because peak performance isn’t one-size-fits-all — and neither are you.

Most approaches to performance focus on outputs — reps, results, and rigid programmes that overlook the individual behind them. At The Embodied Performance Coach, we do things differently.

Here, performance begins from the inside out.
We honour your physiology, your psychology and your lived experience — because real, sustainable performance can only come from a foundation of trust, safety and self-awareness.

This isn’t about pushing harder at all costs. It’s about learning to listen to your body’s signals, work with your natural rhythms, and build the nervous system regulation and self-belief that allow true potential to unfold.

What makes this work unique is the integration of over 20 years of experience in women’s health, strength and conditioning, trauma-informed practice and intuitive coaching — bridging evidence and essence to create something rarely found in the performance world:
an approach that is as human as it is high-performance.

Because when you stop forcing yourself to fit the mould,
you discover just how powerful you already are.

The 3 Pillars of Embodied Performance...

...Building Safety, Trust and Potential - from the inside out

Through Embodied Performance Coaching, we work at the intersection of body, mind and performance. Our approach is designed to create deep, lasting change — not quick fixes. Through intuitive coaching, Craniosacral Therapy and professional education, we help women reconnect with their bodies, regulate their nervous systems and unlock their full potential. These three pillars work together to create a foundation of safety and self-trust — the key to sustainable high performance and growth.

Intuitive Coaching

Trauma-informed, deeply personalised coaching that helps women rebuild self-trust, regulate their nervous systems, and align performance with their authentic selves.

Craniosacral Therapy

Gentle, powerful bodywork that restores balance to the nervous system, releasing stored tension and creating the safety the body needs to perform, recover and thrive.

Professional Education

Evidence-based, cutting-edge education that empowers women and the professionals who support them to understand female physiology and unlock long-term performance potential.

Our Customers Say About Us...

CST Client — From Anxiety to Executive Empowerment
"When I first came to Gemma, I was stuck in a cycle of anxiety and self-doubt. I felt disconnected from my body and constantly questioned my decisions, both personally and professionally. Through her Craniosacral Therapy and intuitive coaching, something shifted. I learned how to feel safe in my own body again — how to trust myself. That sense of inner steadiness has changed everything. I’ve stepped into an executive-level role I once thought was beyond me, and I do it with clarity, calm and confidence. I don’t just feel like I’m surviving anymore — I feel powerful."

Female Athlete — Breaking Through the Plateau
"I’d spent years trying to push harder — stricter training plans, tighter nutrition, more hours. But no matter what I did, I couldn’t break through to the next level. Working with Gemma completely changed the game. She helped me understand my female body in a way no coach ever had. For the first time, I know how to train, fuel and recover in sync with my cycle — and it’s given me consistency I didn’t think was possible. My performance has skyrocketed, not because I’m doing more, but because I’m finally working with my body, not against it. I feel stronger, faster, and more in control than ever."

What is Craniosacral Therapy - CST?

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle yet powerful hands-on treatment that works with the body’s natural rhythms to release deep tension, restore balance, and create a sense of safety within the nervous system. I practice Upledger Craniosacral Therapy, a globally recognised method that uses light touch to access the body’s innate ability to heal.

Unlike talking therapies, which work primarily with the conscious mind, CST reaches the places where trauma, stress, and emotional pain are often held — in the body itself. This somatic work is vital because unresolved experiences live in the nervous system and tissues, influencing how we feel, think, and perform every day. By working directly with the body, CST helps release those imprints, creating lasting change that words alone cannot achieve.

At its heart, Craniosacral Therapy is about returning you to safety, self-trust and wholeness — the foundation for healing, resilience, and true performance.
