In 2015, at the age of 20 years old , Emily met her teacher Wendell Henckel in London by a sequence of events that felt at the time like chance, but very quickly it became apparent that it was all divine timing and grace arranging an encounter that would change her path forever.

Suffering from the darkness of intrusive thoughts and debilitating anxiety for many years, a severe fear of death and sickness, Emily always found herself drawn to the mystery and wonder of life but could never find something or someone that could answer life’s deepest questions.

From the age of 16 Emily began practicing yoga to lighten the burden of her busy mind, which was her first introduction to the world beyond the Body-mind and opened her up to her own inner world to which she was a total stranger.

When she met Wendell Henckel and the teaching of Adwaita Vedanta for the first time it felt as if something inside of her woke up from a long sleep, and she felt instantly that life could be deeply fulfilling, light and free. She immediately quit her job to be able to attend the evening sessions and focus on the teachings. These teachings transformed her life and stripped away everything she thought she knew. The journey began and there was no going back, it was obvious to Emily that pursuing Self Knowledge is the only important thing to do in order to truly live a happy life.

In 2020, Emily started teaching online to friends and family who were curious to know more about these changes in her life, and since then the sessions have continued weekly.

Emily has taught in private and in event settings and is looking forward to spreading more Self-knowledge to those who feel called to it. Emily feels that sharing this journey with her fellow human beings is life’s greatest joy and blessing.

In her spare time she enjoys creating with various crafts like jewellery making, beading, pottery, glass lamp work, poetry and card making. Emily believes that by turning inwards and meeting the true Self, the unique talents, contributions and life energies of each person can radiate freely and peacefully into the world. She hopes her handmade creations can uplift others and be a reminder of the beauty and joy of being alive.
