Hi, I'm Emma Whitewood, a yoga teacher, holistic health coach and Psychotherapist in training, working both online and in Bournemouth, Dorset.

For the past four years, I have worked within the NHS as a Health & Wellbeing Coach, supporting people to make sustainable lifestyle changes that improve both their physical and emotional wellbeing. This experience has given me a strong foundation in evidence-based practice, while simultaneously reinforcing the importance of empathy, curiosity, and meeting each person where they are.

Often high achievers, my clients live in a state of fight or flight, ignoring their body, emotions and their own needs. And then one day, it becomes too much. They crave a space to learn who they truly are and discover their own needs, desires and aspirations.

I support people to let go of the people pleasing, self-abandonment and self-doubt that has controlled their life thus far.

Once we understand ourselves, in turn comes self compassion and subsequently a release of anxiety, guilt and shame. Coming home to YOU is the most powerful journey you will ever make. And it matters. You matter.

"Emma's classes are the highlight of my week. I feel so good inside and out. Emma is inspirational with what she says and I always find myself feeling super peaceful. She focuses on the fact that we should always do what we are capable of and not to compare ourselves to each other. There's a lovely atmosphere in the class, thanks to her. "

"I love Emma's classes, both Emma and the practice have helped me so much in recent times. It has taught me to listen to my body, release and just be. I enjoy the energy, the people, the atmosphere and always feel lighter when I have finished. "
