A transformative movement project ('projekt').
A journey of growth,
creativity and wellbeing.
Gemma Louise
I trained professionally as a dancer at The Northern School of Contemporary Dance, gaining a BA (Hons) Degree and specialising in primary and secondary education. My career began as a performer and dance educator, working across both mainstream and alternative provision settings. I later ran a Dance Academy within a sports and wellness centre before launching a community dance organisation in South London, dedicated to bringing the joy of movement to people of all ages and abilities.
Alongside my work in community dance, I am currently training as a Dance Movement Psychotherapist at Roehampton University. This training deepens my understanding of the body–mind connection and strengthens the therapeutic foundations of my practice, allowing me to support people through movement in a more attuned, embodied, and psychologically informed way.
I love using creative approaches to help people feel better, both physically and mentally. As a trained Wellbeing Coach with Move-Assure and a certified Physical Intelligence Coach, I’m passionate about helping individuals thrive through movement, expression, and embodied awareness.
My coaching blends Contemporary Dance, Physical Intelligence principles, and movement psychotherapy approaches. My sessions guide people through techniques that build confidence, unlock emotions, reduce stress, improve resilience, and support a more grounded relationship with the body.
Why PROJEKTMOVE?
The name PROJEKTMOVE reflects my belief that movement is an ongoing journey - a project of self-discovery, growth, and transformation. The use of “Projekt” adds a creative and innovative edge, mirroring how I approach my work with a blend of artistry, science, and therapeutic insight. It represents not just physical movement, but also the emotional and mental shifts that become possible when we reconnect with our bodies.
PROJEKTMOVE is about inspiring people to embrace movement as a way to thrive, unlock their potential, and live with greater confidence and vitality.
"Gemma clearly knows her way around the human body and how it links to emotions and stored trauma. I found all sessions had a profound depth which met my needs in a way nothing else ever has! Blown my mind and I can see how helpful this would be for so many people!"
