https://g.page/r/CYpaWCu_JRGeEBE/review As an Integrated Wellness Coach, IEMT Practitioner, Reiki Master Teacher, and Certified SSP Provider, I guide clients on their journey to rebuild balance, discover resilience, and reconnect with their true nature. Through this challenging time, I discovered Reiki and Somatic practices, which opened the door to profound inner healing and the rebalancing of my body, mind, and spirit. Over the years, I've worked across various healthcare settings, building comprehensive knowledge in Wholistic Wellness. My journey took an unexpected turn when I was diagnosed with Graves' Disease following periods of chronic stress. This led to transformative life changes, including relocating from Lincolnshire to Glasgow. My Approach
I deeply believe that we all possess the innate capacity for wellness and balance. However, we often become trapped in cycles of stress, emotional discomfort, and chronic health conditions because we've lost touch with our body's wisdom. By learning to listen more deeply and reconnect with ourselves, we can unlock our natural healing potential and nurture lasting and sustainable growth. This understanding has not only transformed my own life but shapes how I support my clients. Guiding them to access their inner strength and resilience isn't just my profession—it's my passion and purpose. Witnessing the powerful changes in those who choose to work with me is an honour. Experience & Qualifications
My clients benefit from both my extensive professional training and personal healing journey. I bring over 20 years of industry experience, including:

Reiki Master Teacher certification
Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT) Practitioner
Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) Certified Provider
200-Hour Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training
12-Week Root Cause Practice
50-Hour Yin and Trauma Informed Restorative Yoga
50-Hour Yoga Nidra Teacher Training
50-Hour Meditation Facilitator certification
Kundalini Yoga Level 2 (Mind and Meditation)

My Commitment
I am dedicated to supporting clients in reconnecting with their presence, purpose, and true nature. Through our work together, you'll discover tools and practices that empower your health and wellbeing journey. I look forward to supporting you on your path to wellness.

The Pillars That Hold You Steady

We’re not meant to live on adrenaline and hope.
Your body needs foundations — real ones.
The kind our ancestors lived by.
The kind that don’t crumble when life gets heavy.

This Saturday, we return to those roots.

The Pillars We’ll Explore:

• Nervous system regulation — the anchor beneath everything you feel and do.
• Rest & recovery — honest rest, not collapse.
• Nourishment — simple, grounding choices that stabilise the whole system.
• Embodied movement — the old wisdom of letting the body guide the way home.
• Connection — because healing in community runs deeper.
• Purpose — the direction that steadies the soul.

This isn’t another wellness trend.
It’s a return to what has always worked.
A reminder that your life feels different when your foundations are strong.

If your system has been stretched thin…
If you’re ready to rebuild from the inside out…
This workshop is your call back to centre.

🗓 Saturday 22nd November
📍
⏰ 2pm

Join .jenwilson and

Come as you are.
Walk out steadier than you arrived.

"When she came to me, she already understood her patterns.
She could explain her triggers, her history, and the reasons behind her reactions.
She’d done the reading, the reflection, the work.
But the same emotional responses kept repeating anyway.

She said it felt like “my mind knows one thing, but my reactions don’t follow.” That gap — the space where insight doesn’t create change — is precisely where many people get stuck.
Not because they’re doing anything wrong, but because emotional imprints don’t shift through thinking alone."

Your nervous system has never been your enemy.
It has only ever been trying to protect you — even when the protection feels like sabotage.

Most of the women I work with carry this quiet confusion:
“I know better… so why can’t I do better?”

And the truth is simple, almost ancient in its wisdom:
We don’t rise from logic — we rise from safety.
No amount of insight can override a body that still believes it’s under threat.

So the same patterns repeat:
• People pleasing
• Overthinking
• Pulling back
• Freezing in place
• Losing yourself to stay safe

Not because you’re weak.
Not because you’re “stuck.”
But because your body learned these strategies early, and it learned them well.

Over the years, sitting with hundreds of women, I’ve noticed the same five survival patterns show up again and again — different stories, same roots.
Patterns shaped in childhood, stress, trauma, illness, or years of overfunctioning.

I made this free guide to help you understand them.
Not to fix you — you’re not broken.
But to offer language, clarity, and a way back to yourself.

Because when you understand why you do what you do, compassion enters the room.
And when compassion enters, old patterns begin to loosen.
Slowly. Tenderly. In the way real change always begins.

If you’d like to explore the work beneath the habits —
“The Patterns That Hold You & The Truth That Sets You Free”
is waiting for you.
The link is in my bio.

Your body isn’t the problem.
It’s the story-holder.
And it’s ready to tell the truth.

Why I Use IEMT (and why it’s not EMDR)

For a long time I lived in fight-or-flight. Even with years of yoga, meditation, and all the “healthy” practices, the minute an old trigger hit, I was straight back in the loop of anxiety, overwhelm, and emotional shutdown.

My system eventually said, enough.

That’s when I found IEMT—and everything shifted.
In just two sessions, I slept better. My emotions stopped swallowing me whole. I could actually see the patterns that had been running my life.

IEMT helped me access the deeper layers—those subconscious beliefs that quietly shape how we cope:

“I’m unworthy.”
“I’m undeserving.”
“I’m unlovable.”

When these soften, your whole life begins to change.

Now I use IEMT with my clients, and the feedback is always similar:

"I feel more grounded.”
“I’m coping so much better.”
“Life hasn’t stopped, but I’m not crumbling.”

And yes—the most common question I get is:

“It’s basically EMDR, right?” No. It isn’t.

Here’s the difference, in simple terms:

EMDR is designed for trauma processing.
It works brilliantly for single-event or clearly defined trauma. Its purpose is to reprocess the memory and desensitise the emotional charge.

IEMT works differently.
It isn’t about digging into stories, reliving the past, or analysing trauma.

It focuses on Patterns of Chronicity—the emotional loops, identity beliefs, and survival responses that keep people stuck even when the trauma isn’t obvious.

Where EMDR asks:
➡️ What happened?

IEMT asks:
➡️ How did you learn to feel this way?
➡️ And how do we change that pattern?

No retelling.
No long explanations.
No emotional overwhelm.
Just fast, deep, neurological change.

This is why I use it.
Because it works—gently, powerfully, and without retraumatisation.

When One Memory Finally Lets Go

Sometimes it takes just one doorway to change everything.

My client came to me with a single traumatic memory that had been replaying in her mind for a while — the kind of memory that circles endlessly, tightening around the nervous system, keeping her stuck in a cycle she can’t think her way out of.

In session, that loop began to soften.
The repetitive images… the thoughts that kept flashing back… the emotional grip they had on her body — all started to loosen their hold.

And in her own words:

“Emma’s session of IEMT was truly transformational.
It really helped clear repetitive images and thoughts attached to a very traumatic memory.
It allowed me to move forward instead of being stuck in a cycle of painful emotions.
Highly recommended.”

Two sessions.
Deep emotional imprints uncovered, released, and replaced with space — the kind of space that lets a person breathe again.

This is the quiet power of IEMT.
No storytelling.
No retraumatising.
Just gentle, precise work with the part of the mind that remembers what the body has carried for too long.

If you’ve been caught in a loop you can’t escape…
If the past still pulls you back when you’re trying to move forward…
There is a way through.

And you don’t have to walk it alone.

We carry so much in the quiet corners of the mind — old stories, old fears, emotions that rise without warning.
Most people tell me the same thing:

“I know I’m safe… but my body doesn’t believe me.”

This is exactly where IEMT works its quiet magic.

Through simple guided eye movements, we interrupt the emotional imprint that’s been looping beneath the surface.
The memory remains — but the sting softens, the weight lifts, and your body finally catches up to the truth your mind already knows.

No retelling.
No going back through the pain.
Just gentle, rapid, meaningful change.

If your inner world feels heavy and you’re ready to feel lighter, clearer, more you again — reach out.

Every Monday at Men Matter Scotland I bring IEMT sessions to the hub — a quiet, steady practice that helps the members loosen the weight they’ve been carrying for far too long.

IEMT works by gently shifting the way the mind holds emotional imprints. No over-explaining, no reliving old wounds — just easing the nervous system out of its old reflexes.

And over these past weeks, the men have been telling me of their personal changes and shifts.

• emotions losing their sharp edge
• anxiety becoming something they can actually manage
• lifestyle changes that finally stick
• meditation and breathwork landing more deeply
• subtle but powerful shifts at home and in relationships
• a lighter spirit, a steadier way of walking through the day

Men Matter Scotland is a community where men can show up exactly as they are — no judgement, no bravado — just support and space to rebuild from the inside out.

The First Steps of a New Pathway 🌿
Reiki Practitioner Training 2025

My heart is full today.
These women stepped into the very first intake of my Reiki Practitioner Pathway — a circle built on devotion, courage, and a deep yearning to serve the world in a gentler way.

Thank you.
For showing up with open hearts.
For trusting the process.
For allowing this work to move through you rather than simply at you.
What a privilege it has been to witness your growth.

And a special thank you to Hazel, our newly welcomed Reiki Master Teacher, who sat in to absorb the new direction I’m bringing to the lineage. Your humility, presence, and willingness to learn again — even after stepping into mastery — is the mark of a true teacher.

This pathway is different.
It’s rooted in the body, not just the ether.
It honours the nervous system alongside the spirit.
It is trauma-informed, embodied, compassionate — because in today’s world, healing cannot be separated from safety, connection, or community.

Reiki is evolving, and so must we.
We are no longer here to escape the body, but to return to it.
No longer here to perfect technique, but to deepen relationship — with ourselves, with energy, and with one another.

What we built this weekend felt like the beginning of something sacred.

If you’re feeling the pull to train with me next year — to walk a path that honours both tradition and the wisdom of lived experience — you can message me to join the interest list for 2026 Reiki Practitioner Pathway Training.

The doors will open early next year.
The circle will stay intentionally small.

Here’s to the practitioners rising — steady, rooted, and held.

16/11/2025

There’s a moment in every healing journey where you realise you don’t want to do it alone anymore.

Not because you’re weak — but because you’re ready to be witnessed, held, and understood.

That’s why I created my weekly Journal…
a quiet corner of the internet where we talk openly about nervous system healing, emotional patterns, embodied living, and the gentle work of becoming yourself again.

No noise.
No pressure.
Just truth, curiosity, and the kind of stories that help you breathe a little easier.

When you join, you’ll receive my newest free guide:
“The Patterns That Hold You & The Truth That Sets You Free”
— a compassionate look at the protective patterns that shape your reactions, your stress, and your inner world… and how they begin to soften.

And each week after that, you’ll get:
✨ reflections from my own journey
✨ guidance on mind–body healing
✨ nervous system tools
✨ stories from my clients (shared with love)
✨ journal prompts
✨ and the gentle reminders you didn’t know you needed

This is a space to be real.
To be growing.
To be messy and magnificent all at once.
To be becoming.

If you’d like to walk this path with me,
you can sign up through the link in my bio.

I’d love to welcome you inside.

Graves’ disease is one of the most misunderstood illnesses I see — and the cost of that misunderstanding is far too high.

Women walk into appointments trembling, sweating, losing weight, hearts racing at dangerous speeds… and they’re told it’s stress. Anxiety. Overreacting.

But Graves’ is not a mood disorder.
It’s not a character flaw.
It’s an autoimmune condition pushing the body into chaos — and when it’s missed, it can lead to thyroid storm, a medical emergency that mimics panic but can be fatal if untreated.

I’ve watched women fight to hold their lives together while their bodies quietly fall apart:
the home, the children, the job, the mask.
All held up through sheer will, exhaustion, and heartbreak.

And behind closed doors?
Relationships crack under the strain.
Stable routines collapse.
Emotions become impossible to regulate while the nervous system burns on overdrive.

This isn’t weakness.
This isn’t “being dramatic.”
This is what happens when disease is invisible — and empathy is absent.

Remission varies wildly — 30% to 70% depending on stress load, trauma history, and support.
No wonder so many women spiral into isolation, self-doubt, and fear.

This is exactly why I’m stepping forward now.
To speak about it.
To educate.
To advocate.
And to make sure that not one more woman sits in this storm alone.

I’m launching a local Thyroid Support Group under the guidance of Thyroid UK, because support shouldn’t be a luxury — it should be a lifeline.

If this resonates, comment 🦋 or send me a message.
You are not meant to walk this road alone.

Why Graves’ Misdiagnosis Is So Dangerous

For years, Graves’ disease has been tucked into a corner of medicine where it doesn’t belong — treated as a “simple thyroid issue,” a hormonal hiccup, something solved with a prescription and a pat on the back.

But Graves’ disease is not simple.
And misdiagnosis is not harmless.

I’ve known of too many women walk into clinics trembling, hot, losing weight at alarming speed, hearts hammering in their chests — only to be told:

“It’s just stress.”
“Try to calm down.”
“You’re anxious.”

Meanwhile, something more dangerous is unfolding beneath the surface.

Graves’ disease is an autoimmune condition, where the immune system attacks the thyroid, pushing it into relentless overdrive.

Hormones surge.
The nervous system spirals.
The emotional landscape becomes volatile and frightening.

And when this is missed — it can escalate into thyroid storm: a medical emergency that mimics panic attacks but can become fatal if untreated.

Racing heart.
Sky-high temperature.
Confusion.
Collapse.
The body burning through fuel at a rate it cannot survive.

This is why misdiagnosis is dangerous.
Not dramatic.
Not rare.
Dangerous

What devastates me most is watching women try to hold every thread of their lives together while their bodies fall apart in silence.

And beneath the brave face?
Relationships cracking.
Sleep disappearing.
Mood swinging from wired to shattered.
Self-worth eroding day by day.

Nobody sees the private unraveling.
But I do.
Because I’ve lived it — and I’ve guided many women through it.

The truth is this:
Graves’ disease doesn’t just attack the thyroid.
It attacks identity, stability, relationships, and the nervous system itself.
And when doctors, families, and workplaces misunderstand it, the emotional injury becomes as heavy as the physical one.

This is why I refuse to let another woman be dismissed, mislabelled, or made to feel “dramatic” for being unwell.

I’m launching a local thyroid support group, under the guidance of Thyroid UK, so no woman has to sit in this invisible storm alone ever again.
