In a world that celebrates speed... We’re creating space to Slow Down

Emma is the founder of The Slow Down, a meditation teacher and transformative coach with more than 14 years’ experience teaching workshops, leading retreats and working one-to-one with clients.

Her work is grounded in a belief born from both study and lived experience: that peace is possible, and that learning to slow down can change the way we relate to ourselves and our lives.

After completing a two-year yoga teacher training at Triyoga in London, Emma’s commitment to meditation led her to Spain, where she spent six months immersed in full-time study and practice with the Ishaya Monks. This intensive period became a formative part of her own journey and was followed by further study, residential immersions and ongoing exploration of a range of meditation traditions and techniques.

Her fascination with the inner workings of the mind, and what becomes possible when we begin to see ourselves more clearly, eventually led her to train as a Transformative Coach with ANIMAS, an ICF-accredited training provider.

Today, Emma brings meditation and coaching together in her work. Meditation creates space to become more present; coaching invites curiosity about the patterns, beliefs and behaviours that may previously have gone unnoticed. Together, they offer a way to develop greater awareness, reconnect with what matters and recognise where greater choice may be possible.

The Slow Down is an expression of the practices, lived experience and ideas that have shaped Emma’s journey — and of her belief that slowing down can open the door to a more conscious and intentional way of living.

Sienna is a Somatic Therapist, Speaker and Clinician. With a background working in addiction and trauma, her work integrates psychological and body-based approaches to support emotional regulation and healing. She brings over twelve years experience across NHS and private settings, and has led therapeutic groups and retreats both in the UK and internationally.

Known for her collaborative and relationally attuned approach, Sienna creates spaces that are both grounded and compassionate. She believes the body holds an inherent wisdom that is often overlooked in modern life, and that by learning to listen more deeply—to ourselves, each other and the world around us—we create the conditions for lasting change.

Her work is rooted in psychological safety and a belief that when we reconnect with ourselves, we open ourselves to the possibility of greater freedom, peace and beauty in our lives.
