I am a Health, Wellness & Mindset Coach who specialises in supporting individuals to feel strong, grounded and free in who they truly are, not who they feel they should be.
Hi, I'm Gemma Peterson, founder of The Wellness Mind, a Psychology professional in Health, Wellness & Mindset, specialising in coaching psychology. I have a passion for helping people feel strong, grounded, and free in who they truly are—not who they feel they should be.
This space is your invitation to pause, breathe, and explore. Feel free to stay for a while and get to know me and what I'm all about. You never know—something might just resonate, and this could be the start of your wellness journey and our journey together.
I'm a Psychology Professional with specialist training in Health, Wellness & Mindset Coaching. I support individuals of all ages on their journey toward clarity, confidence, and sustainable growth - always in a safe, supportive, and compassionate space.
Whether we connect through health and fitness coaching, psychological coaching, or energy healing, my goal is the same: to help you build resilience and reconnect with your most authentic self. I believe that physical and psychological fitness go hand in hand—and that whatever life transitions you are navigating, it can be met with strength and resilience when we develop both mind and body. Every session is grounded in evidence–based principles, with a focus on self-awareness and mindset, offering lasting transformation.
My work is rooted in both lived experience and evidence-based practice. I hold qualifications in:
This broad, integrative background allows me to tailor coaching to the whole person - body, mind, and energy.
You'll often find me in the sea (cold water is my therapy), paddleboarding with my cocker spaniel Django, spending time with horses, meditating or focusing on body movement through running, swimming, strength training and yoga. Nature and movement are integral to how I live and how I coach.
To support children, teenagers, and adults with a holistic approach to growth and wellbeing—where body movement and psychology meet to empower lasting change.
Holistic Movement Mentorship - Creating mind–body awareness through somatic movement, strength training and functional fitness.
MindFit Coaching - Psychological coaching for emotional clarity, resilience and confidence.
Healing with Horses - Equine-facilitated coaching to support emotional expression, communication, regulation and trust.

Thrive & Connect - Wellness coaching and workshops for children, teens and young adults—delivered in schools and colleges across Sussex, Surrey and Hampshire.
This is more than coaching—it's a journey of reconnecting with your true self. Whether you're looking for support with mindset, movement, confidence or calm, you're welcome here.
Let's begin your journey—together at The Wellness Mind.
“Thank you, Gemma, you are the best thing that I have done for my health in many years”
“I walk more every day, I have revived my love for cycling, I am more mindful about what I eat, I regularly complete workouts created by Gemma, I have lost weight, I have gained confidence, I have prioritised myself more. I have enjoyed life and social events and still stayed on track, I have learnt balance, I have learnt how to turn my mood around when my mindset is low, and my sleep is so much better”
“I bloody love your weekly check-ins Gemma. To know I have you in my corner cheering me on and being proud really does mean the world. I feel so energised now – I walk faster, I move faster, it's like a new lease of life”
“This program has been a blessing during menopause. I feel stronger, leaner and fitter and now half a stone lighter. I am sleeping better and generally feel more confident and in control. I am making better and more mindful food choices and love my strength training program”
“Without Gemma, I honestly don’t know where we would be right now. We are forever in her debt for giving us back our happy, loving, funny daughter and to have the smile back on her face again”
“In the last six months we have seen such a vast improvement in our daughter’s mental health, and we can’t be any more grateful to Gemma for the help that she has given us and our daughter”
“Gemma, thank you for guiding me out of a very dark place, too dark to navigate myself. Your love, compassion and understanding have brought me back to the other side and I cannot believe the changes it has brought with it”
“I am learning to see the light on intrusive thoughts, I am learning to love myself which grows every day”
“I am now becoming sure of my voice and sure of myself and that feels powerful and comforting”
“I have gone from struggling to see a positive in each day and the way I look and feel, to feeling more confident and at peace with my body. I now look forward to seeing what I can achieve each week and how my mind and body are changing”
