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 holistic wellbeing practitoner. My work is shaped by a background in health science and ongoing studies in naturopathic medicine and Western herbal medicine. Along the way, I’ve also become a permaculturist, Kundalini yoga & meditation teacher, and Gong practitioner.
I hold a special love for tropical and local native Australian plants and the ancient wisdom of seaweeds. My permaculture practice is deeply inspired by the philosophies of Masanobu Fukuoka (the father of natural farming), Akira Miyawaki (urban reforestation and tsunami 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 among the plants in the garden, simply listening. In those quiet, sacred moments, I began to understand the world not through words, but through feeling and through relationships.
It was in these moments that I learned the complexity yet simplicity of an ecosystem, the interconnection of all things and the great dance of balance and change. Nurturing a belief in me that we are not separate from Nature; we are Nature. 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 inspiration, 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.
