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.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to guiding others. Ayurveda and Yoga are in essence tools for energy management. They continue to show me how to stay present in my body. They are tools are for everyone. They aren’t bound by age, culture, or background. They represent a return to the natural way of things: simplicity, presence, and a deep connection to life.
My practice is living these teachings, not as abstract concepts, but as daily life practices.
Today I guide people to see beyond limitations, symptoms, attachments and hang-ups and to recognise themselves as alive, whole, and interconnected with all things.
A Call to Wholeness
Following the Thread
As a child, I often looked around me and wondered if this was really how it had to be done. Born into a family with a business focus, 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. 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, and the Hale Pule journey began. Training as an Ayurvedic Health Counselor and spending time on the Hale Pule farm in Kaua’i 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.
Now, I live in the Kent countryside with my husband, surrounded by the quiet wisdom of nature. Life is simple and full! I see clients and students, 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. The trips to India 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 letting go. Home is always here.
Living and Walking a more honest path - Some Nuggets of Daily Wisdom
True learning is not about collecting knowledge—it’s about embodying wisdom. It’s about relationship, trust, and seeing beyond the self. The mind may seek complexity, but the heart knows that simplicity is the way.
Healing begins when we stop resisting life. When we step into truth (satya) with openness, not fear. When we let go of judgment and ask instead: How can I be part of the solution?
Each thought, each action carries weight. This is the law of cause and effect. Ayurveda teaches us that balance is not found by averaging excess, but by making clear, conscious choices—moment by moment.
The Path and Home is always here. They are not things to reach for. It is simply a matter of returning.
