Emma Gwillim

You are not stuck this way.

Even though it might feel like it’s running the show, high-functioning anxiety is a symptom—not who you are. 

I’ve been there.

As Seen In…

Hiya, I’m Emma.

I’m a certified somatic coach and teacher but my real learning has been my lived experience - yo-yo-ing between high-functioning anxiety and freeze. I took the long way round to find that the way back home is through the body.  

I create deeply nurturing experiences - from self-care rituals to embodied learning - to help you feel rested, at ease and nurtured.

You are welcome here.

    Peg - coaching client

    Charlotte - coaching client

  • "I’ve suffered with severe anxiety in the past. While I was hypnotised for this and found it fantastic, I can see how this practice will help me with blips in the future. I’ve been telling everyone about it as I’ve been surprised at its calming effect - I thought yoga was just about bending!"

    Jane - trauma-informed yoga student

  • "I loved how the somatic therapy sessions made me more aware of my body and mind and how this impacts my anxiety. The techniques Emma gave me ensure I know how to soothe anxiety - I now know how my body and mind react and how to manage this in a range of situations."
