Emma Longbottom is a Wellbeing Coach, Energy Healer and Yoga Teacher based in Leeds, UK. She is the founder of Wellbeing with Emma

Emma is passionate about empowering people to reclaim their energy and find their joy. She works with people who want to find a path to wellbeing but are overwhelmed, feel like they’re missing out on a better life and are struggling to find moments of joy and gratitude in their life. Emma does this by offering a range of holistic wellbeing practices both online and face-to-face. She combines coaching with energy work, movement and meditation.

Prior to founding Wellbeing with Emma, Emma worked for over 20 years in a corporate environment, developing and implementing many very successful programmes and initiatives. However, for many of these years she was sucked into a toxic productivity mind-set and ended up with chronic pain, recurring laryngitis (at its height she had 11 weeks in one year where she couldn’t speak), she was stressed, felt unhealthy, sluggish and was always tired.

So she started to question if there was a healthier way to live?

This was when yoga and mindfulness entered her life and her healing journey began. Holistic practices such as yoga, meditation and energy healing completely changed Emma's life, supporting her to reduce stress levels, reduce pain and live more in tune with herself.

It had such an impact on her that she decided to re-train and start her own business so that she could support other people to make positive changes.

About the Podcast

Working Hours
The Story of Work in Leeds in the 2020s
What do you do?
Western Studios, Leeds presents Working Hours: a podcast series surveying the people of Leeds on their thoughts and feelings on the topic of work. I want to talk to my city about work. Why do we do it? Do we like it? What could we do differently? What will we? How does work change and how does it change us?
Leeds, the largest city in the largest county on the UK mainland, is a former imperial textile centre and is now a major UK financial centre. This series will document the city’s experiences through Lockdown, Brexit, creeping technological unemployment, new and continuing resource wars, the ongoing dismantling of the welfare state and our accelerating ecological emergency.
If you are in Leeds or from Leeds then help me to reach my target of interviewing 1000 Loiners over the 2020s. Let me ask you, what do you do?
