Depression Support

We are passionate about helping those experiencing depression, through yoga, Reiki and Ayurveda - all of which can help manage symptoms and/or overcome depression.

Emma has dedicated a lot of time to creating resources, raising awareness and supporting those experiencing depression.

On this page you will find all of our video resources, audios and tips.

Emma has written about her first-hand experience in her book ‘From Darkness Comes Light’ - available on Amazon.

From Darkness Comes Light

Depression can be a gift. It’s a strange idea, I know, but a freeing one.
And gifts come in all shapes and sizes.
You just need to understand and be at peace with this one.

If you can find the strength and courage to view your life from a soulful, elevated position, your challenges and your fears become your teachers. Those aspects of yourself that you keep to the shadows become clearer, and then you can be precise and you can act.

Videos

Yoga, meditation and breath work videos to support fertility, IVF and pregnancy.

We offer these suggestions based on our own experience and understanding but cannot guarantee their absolute effectiveness.

Audios

We highly recommend relaxation and meditation audios to help maintain positivity and peace throughout the journey to conceive.

Depression can make everything feel very dark and heavy. Whether it be a mild low mood you’re experiencing, or a challenging long-term battle with depression, there are small things you can do to feel that little bit lighter.

We offer these suggestions for depression based on our own experience and understanding, but what works for one person doesn’t always work for the next. So please always work with your own intuition, keep checking in and doing what feels right for you on your path to better health.
