I have a BA Honours in Social work.
I'm an avid traveller and love to learn about different cultures and spiritual traditions around the world.
Over the past seven years I have been researching African spiritual practices and reconnecting to the lineage of my Jamaican ancestors.
Some of my teachers and inspiration for my work have included Dr Rosales Meza a Xicana/Mexicana healer, Asha Frost an indigenous medicine person, and Ekta Hattangady Buddhist Dharma teacher.
I'm learning to navigate how to run a business which allows me to dream, rest, play in a way that is in integrity with my values of creating genuine community and support.
I love books, tarot, walking in the woods, African drumming and dancing, deep conversations and seeing women of colour win.

Thank you so much Emma! You’re amazing at what you do, you’re easy going and approachable as well as steadfast in your core values and beliefs. You have a wonderful teaching style and you go above and beyond to make your workshops accessible for those who may need extra support which as a non neuro-typical individual, I appreciate very much.

The workshop was such a good experience! It was so insightful, so calming and empowering. It was such a lovely group of women. Emma is a great facilitator and the workshop was delivered perfectly and left me with lots of food for thought. Thank you! Natesha Gordon |

"I really enjoyed the day retreat. It was a very calm, relaxed atmosphere. It was great to start with a lovely gentle yoga practice.
I liked exploring the journal questions, which really made me think about the impact of generational trauma.
It was also enlightening to hear about Ayurveda principles and how you can incorporate this ancient wisdom in self care practices.
I left feeling nourished and included. ” Melita Yoga
