About eMMA
Emma is a qualified Edinburgh based Somatic Trauma Therapist certified by the FHT (Foundation of Holistic Therapies), an ACCP Transformational Life Coach, Myofascial Trauma Release Practitioner & Somatic Movement Teacher. Previous to this Emma spent 12 years working in HR within the corporate world. Emma truly believes in the power of connecting with and feeling into the body to enable true healing and growth.
After spending many years of her life in functional freeze and moving through chronic disassociation; trying endless therapies and healing modalities Emma was uncertain whether she would ever feel at home in her body. It wasn’t until Emma discovered Somatic Trauma Therapy and was able to sit with her body that Emma finally began to feel and release the deep fear that had navigated most of Emma’s life. It was through Somatic Trauma Therapy that Emma was able to shine a light on her past trauma and core wounds and support her healing.
Emma believes that our body’s hold the story to our lives and that when we create a space that our nervous system feels safe, the body can provide the map to show us what needs releasing and how. Like most things, it takes time, patience, safety and a lot of love.
