When I first started attending Gemma (Mc Donnell) it was on my sisters recommendation because she had helped both her and her children so much. I was not convinced that it would help me but on my sisters encouragement and gentle push I decided to attend her.
At the time I was completely overwhelmed with everything that was going on on my personal and professional life.
I was a ball of anxiety and was overweight, I was struggling with coping with every aspect of my life . I was constantly craving sugary foods and I was in a constant cycle of trying diets and losing some weight and then beating myself up when I would slip and put the weight back on. I was regularly ill with chest infections and would often have antibiotics every couple of months to address some infection or other. I was struggling with menopause symptoms and my sleep quality was very poor along with bad snoring which would regularly make me up and impact on my sleep quality.
Gemma is a gifted kinesiologist and she worked to bring my body back in balance by working to eliminate the many toxins that were overwhelming my body and also working to support the different systems in the body. At one of our sessions she suggested that I try a program called Cura Romana and I will always be so grateful to her that she did.
There was probably several opportunities at different sessions that Gemma could have suggested the program to me as she has had an amazing journey with the program herself but she waited till she knew I would be open to it. This is testimony to her talent as a kinesiologist and healer.
Had Gemma suggested on another occasion I know I would not have undertaken it..
I was apprehensive about starting the Cura Romana journey and spent a few weeks reading up on it and looking up testimonials from people who had completely it. In the end the decision to start it was down to trusting Gemmas guidance and I have not looked back !
I was very nervous about starting the program but it is structured in such a way that you get daily updates and information and get regular audio messages from Aaron Kenton who runs the program. Aaron’s empathy and kindness from Day 1 of the program made me realise straight away that this was something special. His knowledge on every aspect of food and health was mind blowing and every day I learnt so much about the health of the mind and body , There was also an amazing spiritual journey that really surprised me during the program.
The main reason that I started the Cura Romana journey was to lose weight and i lost 50 lbs in the course of the program which is amazing, I am literally back to the weight I was 20 years ago and the confidence and self esteem that comes with that cannot be fully explained. This has been a phenomenal success for me and I am nearly 6 months on from finishing and still feel amazing.
What I was not expecting with the program was the amazing health benefits that I have gained as a result of completely the program and now putting all I have learned into practise day by day. The biggest factor is my doctors visits and chest infections which have disappeared, I have not been sick or needed to go to the dr for chest infections since I finished the program. I wasn’t expecting the health benefit that has come with the program.
While I obviously still have the same stressors in my life both professionally and privately I am able to cope with the anxiety and stress in a totally different way and that is down to the food I am eating and the health benefits I have achieved as a result of all I have learned.
The other major improvement that I have obtained is in my sleep quality, I do not need as much sleep as I did before my Cura Romana journey and the quality of my sleep has improved significantly. My menopause symptoms have practically gone and my snoring has also really improved. I was not prepared for all of these health improvements when I embarked on the journey and I can definitely say that they actually in many ways outweigh the original objective of the weight loss.
I am not being dramatic by saying that this journey has given me my life back and I will always be grateful to Gemma for setting me on this path and for Aaron for guiding me through it step by step. Thank you both.

Gemma is an incredibly gifted practitioner. Work by respected clinicians like Dr Bessel van der Kolk is proof that Western science is discovering what practitioners like Gemma, have known all along: That trauma has a profound impact our brains, bodies, DNA, psyches and energy fields. Gemma’s gift is the skill and ability to help shift and clear trauma blocks in our beings that cannot be resolved by talk therapy alone. I’ve found even just one session with Gemma, lifechanging!

My daughter has been plagued with recurring throat infections since she was a baby, throughout her teenage years and even now as a young adult. It has been getting worse over the years and she has been hospitalised a couple of times over the past 3 years. I despaired for her future. She was sick for 7 days every month and on a dose of antibiotics each time. As a result, her immune system was extremely low. Gemma came highly recommended & I bless the day that we found her. In a few sessions, Gemma achieved what no doctor could. It has been 5 months since my daughter's last infection & she is still keeping well. I can hardly believe it. Gemma is a genius! She doesn't just look at the symptoms, but gets right to the source. This is truly lacking in our health system these days. Gemma, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so so much!
