ABOUT

My name is Gemma Parmar and I am the founder of the Liberate Your Energy Movement & Dharma With Gemma Coaching, LLC.

DWG is a company centered around providing impactful, inspiring, & heart-opening personal development & healing mentorship through 1:1 sessions, small groups, trainings, retreats & event experiences.

I started this coaching company because I grew up around strong women. Women who were tough for their families, who supported everyone in their communities, and yet there was no one or no time to heal themselves. I saw them ‘keep it all together’ and I could feel their yearning to create space & find gentleness. I want a world where women don’t have to hold all the pieces alone, and where they are tough & gentle with themselves at the same time. I went into the world of personal development in search of that happiness, leading me down a path of constantly searching for something outside myself. Hoping that one day, I might wake up and everything would be magically different. That was until I found practices that reminded me of the true magic within. And this is what I desire for each & every woman: to experience the magic of life burning within their souls!

My values:

Experiential & Curious Learning
Playfulness & Nourishment
Compassionate Self-Inquiry
Safety & Community
Innovation & Transformation

My mission is to guide you into believing you are strong enough to feel anything & capable of living as your brightest self!

It is my mission to share with curiosity, authenticity, and encouragement so you feel empowered to create change. I will help you view healing as an art form, learn to be the canvas & the creator, and cultivate freedom.

I was born in Aberdeen, Scotland and have both Indian & Scottish blood running through my veins. I grew up on the northside of Houston, TX and moved to the Texas Hill Country in 2013 to go to college at Texas State Univeristy! I moved to Inverness (to live with Nessie the Loch Ness Monster) after college to work in a kilt shop with my Auntie. A main high & low point of my life. A place where everything came colliding, pushing me down the path I currently walk. In this collision, I found myself wanting to be closer to the ones I love and moved back to Texas. I’ve been in Austin since 2018 and hope to be around for a long time.

I grew up in dance class - like that’s all I did! Dance was my safe place. It was where I learned to literally move through emotions, try out my skills in leadership, and be apart of community that valued expression & focused work for the whole.

I’ve been told I have BIG beaver energy! Meaning…it brings me joy to work for the long-term, creating cohesive environments for community to thrive in & nurturing the ones I love with sacred space setting (aka stackin them logs!). My fiance Colin jokes about how I am always re-arranging & re-decorating but really it’s my little beaver heart freshing the energy & clearing our space so we can live clear fun lives!

I’ve been in some pretty dark & twisty places with addiction, a difficult relationship to food, sexual trauma, depression, & anxiety, a world of complex PTSD. I’ve discovered a lot of shadows and learned I am strong enough to feel anything. I’ve recovered pieces of my soul I thought I would never get back. I’ve found ease amongst the chaos of the world and it’s like a breathe of fresh air.

I wish for everyone on this earth to breathe into the fresh vibrancy of life. To live in harmony & peace surrounded by community, love & nature.

MY COACHING METHOD

Breathe

Breathing = life. It is the human superpower, the anchor to our healing, & the bridge to our hearts. No matter the healing path we choose, the breath is always an important factor in our transformation. I help my students create a foundational breath practice as a means to regulate their nervous system while we dive into the unknown. This helps us create a sense of safety, a place to return to & awareness of our window of tolerance. My mentees find that learning different breath techniques gives them the healthy coping toolbox they’ve been searching for AND a pathway for expansion.
Feel

We’ve got to FEEL it to HEAL it! The senses are all about the here & the now, it’s how you perceive the world, & how you live in your body. It can be scary to listen to our senses again when they might be the reason we are feeling anxious, depressed, or wanting to numb out or reach for external stimulation. I know firsthand from addiction & abuse what it’s like to not trust my body and its signals. This is why I take a trauma-informed approach to re-learning how to be in our bodies. It takes time, kindness, space & grace to empower ourselves and listen to the wisdom of our bodies. Your senses can be the guiding light to feeling more at home in your being AND it takes patience, and support. We are strong enough to feel anything and we do not have to feel it all at once.
Inquire

Humans naturally ask big questions from life, no matter what age we are. Cultivating the art of inquiry is a fine balance of being curiously inquisitive and having awareness when you fall into obsessive thinking and becoming a meanie drill sergeant! I will help you develop discernment, compassion, empowerment, and honesty when asking yourself the tough, existential questions about life. My main philosophy when asking questions is letting go of the attachment to needing the answer. Create an environment where you can stay in the question, and explore how it shows up for you uniquely. Because in the end, the only answer that matters is the one that comes from the deep well of your heart.
