About the Author

Hey, I’m Gemma Matin. 

I started to write The Monday to Friday Principle® after spending 10 years in anxious and avoidant relationships. I was depressed, and at times, suicidal. I sought help through anti-depressants and therapy, but found I was rehashing the same stories without lasting changes. After deep soul searching, I fell in love with the world of self-help.

One day, I read a quote that said “we have two lives, the second begins when we realise we have one” – and I made a decision that would change my entire life as I knew it. 

I invested tens of thousands of £’s in mentoring, coaching, and courses as I travelled the world, and pursued my path to find happiness.

I’ve dedicated the last decade to deep healing, research, and learning psychology, neuroscience, and energy healing. I’m a certified trauma informed practitioner, as well as holding certifications in trauma therapy, subconscious healing, and neuro-linguistic programming.  

Whilst “doing the work” I built a successful career in recruitment, supporting leadership teams and local authorities across the UK. I left the corporate world this year to pursue my purpose in sharing the principles inside the book, with those who need them most. 

I live, coach and teach everything you’ll find inside the book. 

I’m incredibly passionate about this work, and I cannot wait to share it with you. 

With so much love, 

Gemma x
