Hi, I'm Gem (they/them), and I'm the founder of SelfCare Backpack, a company focused on self care for people in tech. Why people in tech?I worked in tech for a decade before becoming self employed in Feb 2023, so I have experience in managing your wellbeing and self care while working in fast paced, highly cognitive work environments, where you're at your screen for most of the day.What do you offer? I'm glad you asked. I do workshops, talks, and individual self care coaching. I've done workshops on self care and journaling, shame and sitting with feelings. I've done talks on self care, anxiety, and how to support employees. I've done these virtually and in person, and I've done so internationally. I believe that self care fundamentally is about building a relationship woth yourself, getting to know who you are, and how you work. I've built up resources from years of my own experience with mental illness, as well as what I've learned from others.I'm a person-centred counsellor in training, and a Mental Health First Aider, so I have plenty of training in building safe, empathic spaces where people can explore they self care and feelings around it.Want to work with me? Drop me a message. Whether you need some support personally, or want to bring me in to support your team, we can work together on something wonderful.
