About Emma - Your Mindfulness Teacher

Accredited MBSR and Children's Mindfulness Teacher | Access Bars Practitioner

Hello — I’m Emma, a mindfulness teacher dedicated to helping people develop awareness, calm, and resilience through mindfulness practice. I offer online and in‑person MBSR (Mindfulness‑Based Stress Reduction) courses, workshops, talks, and Access Bars sessions.

I'm a member of the Association of Professional Mindfulness Teachers, Barcelona.

My Mindfulness Journey

I first discovered mindfulness at a very stressful time in my life — juggling a young family, work, and overwhelm. What began with struggling to stay awake during guided sessions gradually became a source of greater calm, reduced anxiety, and present‑moment awareness. That personal transformation led me to explore mindfulness more deeply and eventually to train as a teacher in 2016.

My Approach

Other Interests

I aim to create a safe, supportive, open environment where participants feel comfortable learning and exploring mindfulness at their own pace. Mindfulness isn’t about perfection — it’s about noticing what’s happening and responding with awareness and kindness.

Outside of mindfulness, I’m a trained actress and voice artist and enjoy creative and movement practices like improv, belly dancing and art — all of which influence my compassionate, grounded teaching style.

Emma has a way with words and portraying complex issues and feelings in a very simple way.
