About Me:

Gemma is a Certified Infant and Adult Sleep Consultant based in Hong Kong. She believes in a holistic and science based approach to help adults and our children to sleep better.

As a mother of two, and the wife of a cargo pilot, she is also witness to the complications of disturbed sleep for someone who has irregular working hours and sleeping patterns. This has been a huge drive to begin the journey of a sleep coach and specialist in chronic insomnia.

Gemma is from the south of England and came to Hong Kong in 2018 where she started her family. She was supported by the Women’s Health Physiotherapists at Evolve during her own postpartum period which is where she gained such admiration for the team.

Understanding that her services and specialities as an Infant Sleep Coach could benefit Evolve clients further, she joined the team in 2021.

Professional Specialities:
Infant Sleep

• Self settling and sleep associations

• Night time weaning (dropping feeds)

• Bed transition

• Ditching the dummy

• Sleep hygiene and safety

• Parasomnias (such as night terrors, sleep walking, confusional arousals)

Personal Special Interests:
When Gemma isn’t talking about sleep you’ll find her up on the trails, in a yoga class or creating some new artwork at her home in Lantau.

Favourite Quote

Short and sweet but something I personally live by. ‘If you don’t like something, change it.’

Why live with something that you don’t like or don’t enjoy? Life is too short. Plus, I am aware my children are watching me everyday and I want to support them to grow up to do something that they love.
