As a healer, teacher and writer Emma loves nothing more than sharing her passion for yoga, Reiki, Ayurveda, Vedic chanting and the sacred with others in whatever way she can. She is also keen to share the healing potential of nature and its medicinal plants, crystals, Bach floral remedies, the moon, the sun, ancient stones and dolmens and dowsing.

Emma’s life has been changed enormously by these practices and methods and she shares her experiences in her books Namaste and Dancing with the Moon. There are two more books on their way, The Family Yoga Book and From Darkness Comes Light, watch this space!

She knows without doubt that the body keeps score and that we all have the potential for healing if we create the right conditions - yoga, Reiki, Ayurveda and Vedic chanting can help with this, they are ancient practices with a spiritual and philosophical root, grounded in Sanskrit (the most ancient language in the world).

While Emma has travelled the world a few times over immersing herself in various training courses and approaches to yoga and healing, obtaining many qualifications in the process, she believes that her embodied experience of life itself has been her greatest teacher. She has learned that self compassion is key, and a dedicated daily spiritual practice, prayer, gratitude and humour help enormously too! She is currently ‘un-training’ herself with Louise Simmons who is a Scaravelli-inspired yoga teacher.
