The Inner Life · with Emma Reynolds
You've built a life of possibility. Now discover how to enjoy it.
For those who have achieved much, and are ready to explore
a different kind of fulfilment.
When success doesn't bring fulfilment
What if there is more to life?
You may have more freedom than ever, yet struggle to switch off. Perhaps you are very capable of making things happen, yet still find it difficult to simply be where you are.
"This is an invitation to explore a different relationship with your experience."
What if fulfilment isn't something you have to keep pursuing? Mindfulness offers a practical way to explore that question, without asking you to give up ambition, or become someone else.
The Practice
Grounded in evidence.
Lived in the everyday.
A private mindfulness experience for those ready to look inward. Working together, we draw on evidence-based practices and principles from Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, adapted to your circumstances, your experience and the life you are actually living.
A steadier attention
Practices for noticing when attention has strayed, and returning it with ease.
Seeing your own patterns
Recognising habitual thoughts and reactions that quietly run beneath a busy life.
Meeting difficult emotions
Learning to stay with discomfort long enough to understand it and to transform it.
Striving and contentment
Looking directly at the relationship between wanting more and feeling at ease.
Fully living in the present
Bringing awareness to relationships, decision making and downtime.
Sustaining a new way of being
Creating real and lasting change that impacts every area of your life.

Questions & Answers
Before you decide
What the programme is and isn't, how much time it asks of you, and how your privacy is handled.
Roughly eight weeks: a 60-minute orientation session, eight 90-minute sessions, a four-hour retreat day, two optional 1-hour energy sessions and a 60-minute check-in session three months after. Between sessions there is a 20-minute daily meditation, short mindful practices (such as mindful eating) and reading the workbook once a week (approx 10 minutes) — all built around your schedule.
Online via Zoom, or in person where practically possible. Either way, sessions are held one-to-one, and nothing about the work is public.
Entirely. What you discuss stays between us, including the fact that we are working together. There is no group, no community forum, and no public record of your participation.
No. Some people arrive with a long practice behind them; others have never sat still for ten minutes. The programme is adapted to what you already know and what your life currently allows.
That is what the free 30-minute session is for. If I don't think I'm the right person to help, or that the programme isn't the right fit, I will tell you so, and you will not have paid anything to find out.
Mindfulness works best when the timing is right. If you're in acute crisis, severe depression, or dealing with recent trauma, loss or addiction, other support may need to come first. I'll ask a few confidential questions before we begin, and I'll tell you honestly and kindly if I think something else would serve you better right now.
People come to this work for different reasons. Many describe a clearer awareness of their own thoughts and patterns, a steadier attention, and more kindness towards themselves and others. Some find they can be with discomfort, including physical pain, in a different way, with less struggle around it. Others notice a calmer response to stress and, for some, more restful sleep.
This isn't a treatment, and experiences vary. What you take from it depends on the practice you build, and the programme is designed to help you keep that practice long after we finish.
