About Me

Hello Beautiful Souls

I'm Em,

I’m not a big fan of labels but if I was to describe myself, I would say that I am a Medicine Woman, Yogini, Witch, Energy Alchemist, and Keeper of the Old Ways.

Since childhood, I have walked between worlds -  dreaming lucidly, speaking with plants and spirits - weaving the unseen into poetry, song, and ceremony. The land, the stones, the rivers, and the trees have always been my teachers; the animals, my companions, guides, and familiars as I walk the beauty path. I have always been more attuned to the realms of nature and the spirit world than to the human world, listening to whispers of the unseen and following the pulse of life that flows beneath and beyond ordinary perception. 

I never cease to be amazed by the incredibly rich tapestry and interconnectedness of the natural world and how we as humans, just by re-connecting with nature, can come back to the true essence of who we are – not separate from nature, but as part of it. As we come home to our bodies, we begin to discover the innate potential within each of us, our divinity, our inner ‘gold’, our immense capabilities and most of all, the power we have to change the world around us – we are the ones we have been looking for. Through the ancient wisdom and earth medicines, we can begin to transcend and transmute our spiritual lead to spiritual gold – and the world really needs us right now!!

I love to weave story, ritual, dance, poetry, and song - threads I have carried my whole life, once suppressed in order to pursue academia and a career in Cyber Security, which have now been fully embraced and lovingly brought into every ceremony, class, and healing I offer. My work is a living tapestry of plants, prayer, ceremony, sound, and sacred touch, carrying the medicine of ancestors, unseen guides, and the Earth herself.

Through plant medicine and through the voice of the heart and body, I discovered that music is medicine — a way to transmute pain into healing, to honour ancestors, and to guide others to find their own voice. I work with the medicine of movement, breath, and sound - Yoga, energy healing, sacred sound, shamanic ceremony, and somatic integration all flow together with these threads, creating living, embodied containers for transformation, integration, and wholeness.

My healing is not only for myself but for the benefit of all beings, for my family and ancestors - those whose blood, tears, pain, and love are woven into these lands. Each step I take, each song I sing, each circle I hold is an offering, a weaving of remembrance that ripples through time, connecting past, present, and future.

I am not here to save or fix, but to walk beside you, to be a safe space, to be present and to listen - as witness, mirror, and companion - through shadow, light, and the sacred spaces in between. 🌿✨

I have over 20 years of practice, experience and training, and more than 1000 hours of yoga teacher training, I am a Yoga Teacher of 8 years, a Yoga Therapist, Reiki Master, Energy Healer, Crystal Therapist, Massage Therapist, Shamanic Practitioner, Somatic Plant Medicine Integration Specialist, Trauma-Informed Coach, NLP Practitioner and Counsellor-in-training.

My path has also been shaped by my work as a ceremonial musician, singer, and carrier of medicine songs. This music is profound and life-changing, it speaks to the heart and soul with words of love, hope and wisdom that walks alongside us during the good times and the bad.

My work is a fusion of yoga, meditation, sound, bodywork, energy medicine, shamanic practice, ancestral remembrance, and Amazonian healing. I honour the lineages and wisdom of Yoga, Tantra, Buddhism, Animism, Celtic and British indigenous traditions, and the sacred teachings of North and South American medicine lineages. It is with gratitude that I weave together these threads into grounded, loving, and transformative offerings.

🌸 My Journey
My path has been one of remembering and returning home. It has been a story of belonging, acceptance, and compassion -it is through my own experience that I now stand as an individual that has willingly traversed the depth of my own being in order to hold others, in safety, integrity, and unconditional love.
It began in childhood, growing up within the confines and rigidity of a military life - always uprooted, always moving, always trying to belong. The trauma of displacement and lack of connection wove itself into my being, yet alongside it came the gift of listening deeply: to land, to spirit, to silence and the gift of holding space. With no spiritual guidance, the Earth herself became my teacher. I found kinship with nature and animals, who spoke to me in ways humans never could. I played among sacred sites in the places I grew up - amidst the stones and ancestors of Stonehenge, on the wild Cornish coast, the ancestral spirits of Scotland, and the fierce, protective energy of Herefordshire - and though I had no framework, these early initiations seeded my path – these were places of power and they spoke deeply to me.
As a young woman, longing to be seen and accepted, I entered cycles of unhealthy patterns and abusive relationships. In giving myself away for love and belonging, I lost myself, I lost my voice, and I lost my truth. Alongside this pain, I thankfully discovered practices that became lifelines: Yoga, Reiki, crystal therapy, and the remembrance of myself as a witch – something that had always been with me since as long as I could remember. These practices helped me navigate the trauma of my childhood and early womanhood, anchoring me in my own power and helping me to find a way back to myself. 
For a time, they took a step back as I pursued a career in government, military, and cyber security - high-powered, male-dominated environments where sensitivity, song, and spirituality had no place. Outwardly, I thrived; inwardly, I was suppressing the essence of who I was, until burnout brought me to breaking point and I finally left my career in 2024 to focus on building EmBodhi Wellbeing.
With the lived experience of addiction, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and the silence of chronic illness, I bring my heart and soul to help others who have experienced the same, each one of these a teacher on my path, each with its own gifts and revelations. Every shadow was an initiation. Every wound cracked me open to deeper compassion and remembrance.
In 2018, my musical journey began when I first sat with Ayahuasca. This incredible medicine brought me home, through her I discovered my voice as a vessel for healing - weaving song as prayer, as remembrance, as medicine. It awakened a deep calling within me to guide others through the transformative power of sound and ceremony, it reminded me of why I came here – to love, to serve and to be a light in the world.
In 2024 I travelled to the Amazon for an apprenticeship with the Shipibo healers. The experience was both sacred and harrowing: the forest was burning around me due to uncontrolled, illegal fires. Flames licked the edges of the canopy, smoke thickened the air, and the heat pressed against the earth and my body. The fires literally surrounded me - the destruction of the land mirrored the inner burning of my own suppressed grief, fear, and pain. In the maloka, the medicine, the icaros, and the cries of the forest intertwined - the fire became part of my process, a living, elemental witness to my transformation. It felt like an initiation, the forest gave me so much and it deepened my devotion to being a carrier of her medicines.
Within this intensity, I deepened my relationship with the icaros, learning to sing not only for myself but as a channel for ancestral wisdom, for the forest, and for those I hold in ceremony. The plants taught me to listen, to honour the lineage of sound, and to channel their medicine into every note, every song, every circle I hold.
These Amazonian teachings weave together with my work in Yoga, Reiki, crystal and energy healing, sound and voice therapy, womb healing, trauma integration, and the indigenous medicines of my own lands - Hawthorn, Rose, Mugwort, Nettle, Blue Lotus, and more. It is through this work that I walk in reverence for Mother Earth and all her children, that we can weave our magick together across continents, time zones, language barriers and cultural differences and yet somehow come together in our mutual respect and understanding for the natural world and all of her gifts  - we recognise each other at the soul level and realise that…We are ALL related.
I have walked through fire - both literal and figurative -  and returned with medicine. Today, I walk not as a rescuer, but as a companion, one who has known both shadow and light, who carries ancestral magick in her bones, and who walks beside others as they cross their own thresholds of becoming who they truly are.

🌟 My Vision

My vision is to create sacred spaces where body, mind, and spirit may remember their wholeness. Spaces where shadows are welcomed and light is celebrated.


Spaces of healing, initiation, and return - where ancient wisdom and modern insight weave together into a living path of remembrance, connection, and wholeness.


This vision is born of my own life, of growing up uprooted, displaced, and longing to belong. I know the ache of never feeling safe, of trying to fit into places that did not honour who I truly was. I know the silence of carrying spiritual gifts without guidance, and the cost of seeking acceptance outside myself, only to lose my own centre. I know the weight of suppressing creativity, voice, and sensitivity in pursuit of career and societal approval,  and the freedom that comes when these gifts are finally reclaimed.


Because of this, I am devoted to creating containers where others do not have to hide, silence, or fragment themselves to belong. In my spaces, you are not asked to be anything other than who you are. You are welcomed in your grief, in your joy, in your shadow, and in your light.


I believe in the medicine of community, the wisdom of the Earth and animals, the healing of song and story, and the innate power within each soul to awaken. My work is rooted in integrity, reverence, and devotion - honouring the lineages, teachers, and spirits who walk beside me, while ensuring that every person who steps into my care feels safe, seen, and held in truth.
