My name is Emily, I’m a Vedic meditation teacher and Ayurveda practitioner living and teaching on Wurundjeri country (with the odd trip to Kaurna land/Adelaide). 

What began as a search for the antidote to anxiety quickly became a head-first dive into self-exploration and what it means to live life from the inside out – with purpose, fulfillment and radiance.

I first encountered Ayurvedic medicine in 2011 and it has been gently shaping my days ever since. I loved that it offered me a thoughtful, personalised and empowered approach to looking after myself. As I continued on my journey, I came to meditation, exploring different techniques as a means to quell the deep experiences of anxiety I was facing. Eventually, I found Vedic meditation, and it catapulted my own journey like no other.

I became a Vedic meditation teacher in 2018, sharing this simple technique with those who sense meditation could support their mental, physical and spiritual health, while exploring the deeper meanings of life. In 2023 I graduated as an Ayurvedic practitioner with the Australasian Institute of Ayurveda under the guidance of Australia’s foremost Ayurvedic doctor, Dr Ajit Singh.

I’m devoted to uncomplicating meditation and Ayurveda and empowering people with the tools, knowledge and support to make it a sustainable daily practice, while never losing sight of the deep and profound tradition from which Vedic meditation and Ayurveda originated. 

When not meditating or teaching others, you’ll probably find me in the kitchen experimenting with recipes, out walking in nature, cuddling my fur baby Miso, studying, tending to my tiny urban garden and enjoying life in the slow lane.

I’m so glad you stopped by, and look forward to welcoming you to the Brightside community.

Take care,

Emily
