My name is Emily Gilchrist and I am a mother, yoga teacher, energy healer, mindfulness coach, fun loving, creative, cheeky catalyst for transformation and positive change.
I am devoted
to the path of creating sacred, safe, loving and nurturing spaces where people can come, unravel, and be free to show up without apology, exactly as they are. I believe in being authentic and sharing the imperfect, perfect truth of who I am and life, so we can learn to truly accept and embrace the whole of who we all are.
How it began
I became involved in the art of healing over 20 years ago, after my own personal journey in Yoga had started. Yoga found me at a crucial turning point in my life back in 2001, whilst living in India.
It was through my own trauma and being left with little confidence in myself and who I was that got me on the mat! It didn’t take long before I noticed the profound benefits Yoga had started to have on my overall state of mind and wellbeing, that I soon found myself on the way to the ashram, in south India, embarking on my first TTC, where the course of my path would change forever! I left knowing it was my mission to share this medicine wherever my heart led me.
