HELLO, I’M EMILY
I’m a Traditional Acupuncturist and Somatic Coach with over twenty years of parallel clinical experience and work in high-performance corporate environments.
Before dedicating the majority of my time to Chinese Medicine and body-based coaching, I spent years working in fast-paced corporate settings - including innocent drinks - where I experienced my own brush with overwork, anxiety, and burnout. That led me into leadership consulting for brands like Warner Music, ASOS, Sweaty Betty, and SoundCloud. In the clinical world, I’ve supported hundreds of people moving through chronic pain, exhaustion, and physical stress, as well as teaching the next generation of practitioners for eight years at the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine.
Alongside my acupuncture and coaching business, I still work in consultancies as a leadership and talent development specialist - designing and delivery training and coaching to support leaders and professionals with their work and wellbeing.
Health and wellness has always been my deep passion, but living and working across both spaces means I truly understand the physical and mental toll of high-stress modern living - and what it practically takes to bring your system back into balance.
THE MOMENT THAT SPARKED MY WELLBEING JOURNEY
My journey into this work actually started with deep skepticism. In my early twenties, a back injury and years of debilitating periods left me desperate for answers. On a recommendation from my Mum, I tried acupuncture. To my surprise, it didn't just ease my physical symptoms - it left me feeling extraordinarily calm, clear, and grounded.
That single experience sparked two decades of study across Chinese Medicine, Taoist philosophy, Qigong, somatic coaching, and modern neuroscience.
What twenty years of practice has taught me is simple: acupuncture is an incredible tool for calming an overwhelmed nervous system, but lasting relief happens when we also shift the daily stress patterns that got us there in the first place. That’s why my work is collaborative and integrated - blending clinical acupuncture, somatic coaching, and mindful movement to give you practical resources that fit realistically into your day-to-day life.
WALKING THE PATH WITH YOU
Right now, I’m navigating my own perimenopause journey, managing an autoimmune condition, and running a busy practice and freelance business. I rely on these exact somatic tools and acupuncture to support my own health.
I bring this lived experience, two decades of clinical practice, and a good dose of warmth, compassion, and humour to every session.
When I’m not in the clinic, you’ll usually find me spending as much time in nature as possible wild swimming and hiking, Lindy Hop dancing, illustrating or cooking with family and friends.
