Speaking to Gerry and Miriam Hussey is like having the best free counselling session. We’re on a call for an hour and I leave it feeling more motivated and energised than I have in the last 18 months.

That fact should come as no surprise. Gerry is a much sought-after performance psychologist who works with top athletes and entrepreneurs, while Miriam is a former pharmacist turned integrated health and wellness coach. Together they run Soul Space, a business and community which focuses on raising consciousness, awakening inner potential and inspiring greater health and performance.
