I've learned so much along this journey of mothering without my own mum. That I have to be the mother to myself first. I'm always going to be there for my children, but if I show up for myself in a mothering, nurturing way, then I can be there for them way more easily.

Emma is a loving mother, mentor, human design guide, women’s circle facilitator and yoga teacher. Through her honest lens of motherhood and life, she inspires, nurtures and educates. She guides you to embrace your full, unique self, by deeply seeing you as you are.
Showing up as myself and doing things in my own weird way is part of honouring my mum. Because that was something that she started to instil and demonstrate to me.
