What Is Anxiety and How Can It Impact You?Anxiety is more than just feeling stressed or worried, it’s a natural response to perceived danger, but when it becomes chronic, it can take over your daily life. People with anxiety often experience: • Persistent worry or overthinking • Physical sympt...

I work with authenticity every day, helping people peel back conditioning and come home to who they truly are.

Watching my daughter embody it so naturally is something else entirely.

No gadgets. No expectations. Just a 10 year old and her horse, deeply connected, listening, and having fun. She’s learned to hear her pony, to honour what he enjoys, even when it doesn’t match what she once thought she wanted.

Sometimes she wonders if she should be doing what most horsey kids do, riding more, competing more, following the usual path. And then she comes home to herself and then everything clicks back into place because that’s what happens when you live your life authentically. Everything flows.

This is my daughter and her soul partner, Jester. A living reminder that authenticity isn’t something we teach, it’s something we protect. 🤍🐴

✨ Merry Christmas ✨

As the year comes to a close, I want to wish my clients, colleagues, and friends a very Merry Christmas. This season can bring joy, reflection, connection, and sometimes mixed emotions too. Whatever this time of year brings up for you, please know that it’s all valid.

I know firsthand what it means to show up for yourself. When we take responsibility for our own healing and growth, we don’t just shift our own inner world, we help shift the world around us too. The work you do for yourself has a ripple effect, often reaching others in ways you may not even see.

Thank you for trusting me with your stories, your courage, and your commitment to growth this year. May this season offer moments of rest, self-compassion, and hope as we move into the new year. 🤍

Warm wishes, Emma-Jo 💕

Poppy
There is an ancient quiet in you
the kind that comes from spirits
who have fought their battles
and learned to carry their strength
like a lantern instead of a sword.

You are the peacekeeper of the herd,
not by force,
but by the gravity of your presence.
Others settle because you are settled.
The earth steadies because you are steady.

My warrior horse
half horse, half spirit
herd-heart and sky-soul,
you take my breath away.

And yet…
you hold a fire under all that calm.
A strong, unshakeable knowing.
So when I cross a line,
or bring a scattered, restless energy to you,
you give me that look
the one that strips away my pride
and reminds me to ground myself.
No one diminishes me like you do,
and somehow,
no one does it with more love.

But when you open the gates,
when you let me step inside
that quiet universe you guard so fiercely
our souls touch in a place beyond words.
It feels like slipping into a river
we both belonged to long before this life.
A melting together,
a remembering,
a homecoming.

Poppy,
my warrior of stillness,
my teacher of truth
you meet me where I am,
show me where I should be,
and stand with me
in the sacred space in between.

Had the most gorgeous time going home to see my family in Liverpool! I always love returning to my roots.

Thank you sis Lois Griffiths for treating us to the ballet, we had the best time. I can now start to feel the Christmas magic 🎄✝️. ❣️

Here in Madeira, I feel completely at home, maybe because wherever the ocean is, I feel connected. There’s something about standing at the edge, just watching the waves crash against the pebbled shore, that feels deeply cleansing. I’ve never needed to be in the ocean to feel its pull, just being near it is enough.

Each wave feels like a prayer, washing away what’s no longer meant to stay and leaving behind a calm I can’t quite put into words. The sea has this way of mirroring life, sometimes wild and stormy, other times still and soft. It touches me to trust the rhythm, to take the rough with the smooth, and to know that both have their place.

Being here nourishes my soul. The sound, the salt, the endless horizon, it all reminds me that I’m part of something greater, something steady and timeless. 🌊✨

Picked this up in Waitrose last night, my girls spotted it and knew it belonged on our shelf.
We already have the other two by , and honestly, they’re like free therapy between two covers.

This morning, flicking through Always Remember, I was struck by how closely it mirrors the guidance I offer my clients daily. Gentle truths. Quiet reassurance. The reminders we all need.

Treat yourself and go buy it.
Keep it by your bed and read a page before you start your day, it’s the softest way to anchor yourself.

It’s all in here. 💛

✨ Sibling Rivalry: When Childhood Stories Linger Into Adulthood

Did you grow up with labels like “the smart one,” “the troublemaker,” or “the responsible sibling”?
Do those old roles still shape how you see yourself, or how you relate to your siblings, even now?

You’re not imagining it.

My latest blog explores how childhood narratives and sibling roles can silently influence our adult identities and relationships. From parental comparisons to unspoken family dynamics, these patterns often linger far longer than we expect.

💬 Learn how to recognise these inherited stories, how they may be impacting your current relationships, and what you can do to start shifting them.

Let’s rewrite the old stories, and begin healing from the roles we never asked for.

Sibling rivalry - most of us have experienced it in some form. The squabbles over toys, the competition for parental attention, the silent comparisons, the need to be seen, heard, or simply “better than.” While rivalry between siblings is a natural part of growing up, what’s often overlooked i...

13 years ago today, I said “I do.” And every single day since, I continue to say it, with my whole heart.

Marriage isn’t just built on love, though love is at its core, it’s also built on forgiveness, compromise, shared dreams, hope, and unwavering dedication, to each other and to the beautiful family we’ve created together.

I loved you then, I love you now, and I will love you forever.

Happy Anniversary, my love. ♥️

✨ Hypnotherapy is finally being recognised, even by the NHS.

It’s powerful to see modern medicine embracing what so many of us have known for years:

Healing the mind matters just as much as healing the body.

The NHS is now trialling hypnotherapy to support recovery, reduce pain, and improve outcomes, and the results are speaking for themselves.

As a hypnotherapist working with anxiety, inner child healing, and subconscious transformation, this moment feels HUGE.

It’s proof that healing doesn’t have to mean coping forever.

💛 My work is about going beyond symptom management, and getting to the root of what’s really going on.

That’s where true freedom begins.

📝 I’ve just written a blog breaking down what this NHS trial means, how hypnosis works, and why this is such a positive shift in mental health and trauma care.

A Powerful Shift in Modern MedicineIt’s incredible to see hypnotherapy, once seen as fringe, now being explored by the NHS as a powerful tool for healing.The recent Hypnopal trial which started in 2023, led by nurse researcher Ana-Maria Toth at Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, tested how hypnosis co...

🧠 A microscopic view of the spinal cord and yes, it blows my mind every time.

I collect images like this, not just because they’re beautiful, but because they’re powerful. When I work with clients navigating health challenges, I often show them visuals like these.

Why? Because seeing the actual magic of our bodies changes everything.

When we combine visuals like this with personalised transformational hypnosis, something incredible happens:
➡️ The mind starts to believe
➡️ The body starts to respond
➡️ And healing becomes possible

You see, the subconscious mind responds to pictures and words, and when we give it real, tangible images of what’s going on inside, it’s no longer abstract. It’s real. It’s alive. And that makes the journey of transformation even more impactful.

✨ Science meets the subconscious. Magic meets the mind.

Have you ever done everything right, eaten well, detoxed, taken supplements, yet still not felt truly well?

You’re not alone. After 25+ years in holistic health, I’ve seen one missing piece over and over again: we’re not just physical beings.

✨ Emotions, beliefs, stress, trauma, these live in the body too. And they can impact our health more than we realise.

In my latest blog post, I share:

🧬 My personal story and what led me into this work

🧬 The science of epigenetics and why your thoughts and emotions matter

🧬 How trauma and suppressed emotion can keep the body stuck

🧬 The therapies I use to support true, whole-person healing

🧬 And a list of books I recommend to understand it all more deeply

If you feel like you’ve tried everything but something’s still missing, this might be it.

📖 Read the blog here.

Over 25 years ago, my journey into holistic health began with a simple but life altering question:“Why are so many people around me getting cancer?”At the time, it was mostly my family. One diagnosis after another. It felt relentless, and terrifying. I couldn’t help but wonder if there was mor...
