About Emily: A Journey of Returning
Home is here. It is not something to reach for. It is simply a matter of returning.
The path of healing is not about becoming someone new, but about remembering—returning to what has always been within. Ayurveda, Yoga, and Subtle Energy practices provide a way to live more fully in this human body, helping us to experience life with more ease and joy. They teach us about resilience—an essential tool for life. Resilience is the awareness and acceptance that nothing is permanent. Everything is in constant change. The more we remember this, the more ease and contentment we can find in living fully within our own bodies.
Hi there – I’m glad you’re reading this.
When I first encountered Ayurveda and Yoga, I never thought I would be where I am today!
In my twenties I had health symptoms, which were accumulating. I had ongoing sleep and digestive issues as well as regular emotional meltdowns. I was passive aggressive, persistently felt not good enough and was afraid of failure. Life felt heavy, bound and uncomfortable inside. I was good at wearing a mask on the outside – until it started falling off.
Ayurveda and Yoga taught me how to manage my health and energy, and stay present in my body. I’ve was fortunate to encounter, learn from and live with some incredible teachers who are true practitioners of ancient wisdom, health and healing. My practice today is living the teachings which have been imparted to me, not as abstract concepts, but as daily life practices. My service is sharing them with whoever is sincere in their desire to learn, heal and grow.
Today I guide people to reclaim their healing power which begins with taking responsibility for current health conditions. I’m always amazed at what unique things open up for each client. Whether you start with a Monthly Sunday Sadhana session, Yoga consultation, Ayurveda consultation, Intuitive Energy Practice, Vedic Chanting or join a weekly zoom Meditation session, it’s a step in the direction of reclaiming your health and shifting your perspective on life.
I’m looking forward to journeying with you!
With love,
Emily

Following the Thread
Some background
I initially followed a path in law and corporate life, moving further away from what felt natural to me—art, creativity, teaching, and nature. Yet the pull toward healing never left.
In 2003, Yoga entered my life as a way to support my sleep, mood and mind. In 2006, I met an Ayurvedic Vaidya in Kerala, India, and something inside me shifted. Small changes were made—as I made small adjustments to my diet and daily routine—a sense of ease began to descend. There was a quiet knowing to keep following this Ayurveda path.
Over the years, I trained as a Yoga teacher, a bodywork and energy practitioner, and immersed myself in the study of Ayurveda. I traveled to India each year, undergoing Panchakarma treatments and learning from Vaidyas in the traditional way. Eventually, I began guiding groups through their own healing experiences.
In 2015, I met Myra Lewin, founder of Hale Pule – School of Ayurveda and Yoga. I trained with her as an Ayurvedic Health Counsellor and spending time on the Hale Pule farm in Kaua’i which uncovered another layer of my path. It was—and still is—a space of learning, humility, and growth.
Living the Teachings
For years, I taught in London studios, led retreats across Europe, the Middle East, and India, and supported students on their journey with Ayurveda and Yoga. When the world shifted in 2020, I shifted with it, stepping more fully into service through Hale Pule. I never expected to be where I am now!
Today I live in the Kent countryside with my husband, surrounded by the quiet of nature. Life is simple and full. I see clients and students on zoom and in person, cook, take care of our home, look after our beast of a cat Siva/Caesar(!), spend time with my seven nieces and nephews. I enjoy bringing community together, making collages, painting, singing and Vedic chanting. I listen to chanting a lot of the time these days!
Trips to India to connect with teachers or guide groups continue each year.
As the years roll on, I remain a student of Veda, Vedanta, Ayurveda, Yoga and Sanskrit. These teachings continue to remind me, that a contented, easeful life is not about grasping, making noise and adding more. Instead it’s about listening, loving and simplifying.
A life of ease is what I seek. This comes from knowing home is always right here.
