About
Hello and thank you for joining me on this journey!
My name is Gemma Masami Palmer and I grew up and live on the salt country around Gamay Bay with my multi cultural family in Sydney, Australia.
Like my Mama, I am a healer. My path has been shaped by my background in health science, which includes ongoing studies in Naturopathic Medicine and Western Herbal Medicine—as well as training in permaculture, herbal remedies, Kundalini Yoga, meditation, and breath-work.
My permaculture practices are inspired by the philosophy and methodology of Masanobu Fukuoka (Father of natural farming), Akira Miyawaki (Urban reforestation and post-tsunami land restoration), and Bhaskar Save Ji (The Gandhi of natural farming).
A little story about me…
I have loved and been curious about life on Earth since I was a child. I deeply enjoyed watching ocean creatures in the rock pools of Bronte or lying down to listen and observe the relationships and behaviours of different plants and animals in the garden. It was in these moments of watching nature that I learned the complexity yet simplicity of an ecosystem. These experiences nurtured a philosophical belief in me that we are Nature, everything is connected in the web of Nature, and that Life on Earth, not always easy, is one of interconnectedness, balance, and constant change. This perspective has greatly influenced both my personal and professional life.
My dream is to help sprout a world with like-minded people focused on creating lasting positive change and ecological well-being. I hope that through intention, education, empathy, intuition, and Ancestral guidance, I can support people in their healing journey by helping them reawaken their own inner healing power, wherever that seed may grow.
