Emily Rose | Embodied Awareness

Welcome, I’m Emily

I’m a counsellor, mindfulness teacher, and writer exploring how we can stay connected in a world that often feels messy and overwhelming. My work weaves together trauma-informed counselling, embodied mindfulness, and creative practice to support presence, compassion, and resilience.

Here you’ll find offerings for yoga, one-to-one support, retreats, and reflections through my writing. Whether you’re seeking calm, connection, or simply a reminder that you belong, exactly as you are - you’re in the right place.

We can’t avoid the challenges, but we can meet them together…with kindness, curiosity, and a little laughter along the way!

3 Pillars of Awareness & Connection for Balanced Living

Connection to Self:

Self-care and mindfulness practices are pathways to connecting with ourselves on a deeper level. Through practices such as meditation, breathwork, and self-reflection, we can nurture our wellbeing, find inner peace, and unlock our full potential.

Connection to Others:

Building meaningful connections with others is crucial for our overall wellbeing and the wellbeing of society. My work recognises the power of Non-Violent Communication, Social Justice, and Community. I encourage open dialogue, empathy, and social engagement, fostering connections that support personal growth and positive change.

Connection to Nature:

I strongly believe in honouring our connection to the Earth through nature-based practices and sustainability. By engaging with nature, grounding, observing its cycles, and practicing environmental stewardship, we deepen our understanding of interconnectedness and promote a harmonious relationship with the world around us.

I respectfully acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which I live and work, the Taungurung and Dhudhuroa people. I pay my respects to their elders past, present, and emerging, and honour their ancient wisdom and custodianship of this beautiful land. I recognise that sovereignty of this land was never ceded.

The Wound as Teacher // One thing that is guaranteed - life will not always go as planned. Injuries, illnesses (or other wounds) can stop us in our tracks and cause no end of frustration. But what can they also teach? Where can the wound be a guide
No mud no lotus // The lotus flower is a symbol of compassion in Buddhist and Yogic philosophy. When our hearts experience suffering, our love flowers into compassion that meets that challenge with both strength and softness. By seeing ourselves as
Creativity doesn’t just love constraints; it thrives under them // I truly believe that we are all creative. In tantrik philosophy this creative energy is an element of Shakti and it runs through all of us and can be harnessed in whatever way
Creativity needs chaos, but it also needs a container. // Piles of books TBR (to be read) and a checklist to tick them off. Pages of ripped out of magazine images and stream of consciousness writing, and vision board themes and mind maps. Lists of
