emmalene katayama

shamanic healer and holistic aromatherapist emmalene has been working therapeutically with clients in her private holistic practice in brighouse, west yorkshire since 2000.

in 2007 she founded yorkshire school of natural healing, now called yorkshire natural healing, and created courses and taught complementary therapies for 12 years, primarily aromatherapy and massage as the principal of an ifpa-accredited school, as well as chakra development and indian head massage workshops, alongside holding seasonal retreats.

with warm generosity and an innate love for life, she creates safe sacred spaces and intuitively draws from her eclectic knowledge to offer opportunities for self-exploration and transformation.

*

as well as holding retreats solo, she invites, hosts and collaborates with international teachers of 5R dance and open floor, andrew holmes, cathy ryan and nikki ashley, and experienced yoga teachers preet kaur and elizabeth hawkins: and always enjoys co-creating close connection and building community as well as participating and deepening her own practice.

dancing 5Rhythms and open floor has been her “spiritual practice, salvation and liberation” for two decades, and she is currently in training with open floor international to become an embodied mindful movement and dance teacher and loving it.

*

for this time and longer, she has whole-heartedly immersed herself in the study of spirituality, ancient wisdom, advanced healing techniques, ritual and ceremony, space-holding and meditation. more recently, she is exploring nonduality, neuroscience, the nature of consciousness, ancestral and collective trauma healing, environmentalism, earth-healing and the sanskrit language.

she wishes to convey her deep gratitude to gabrielle roth for the 5Rhythms, mike robinson, international teacher of inner spiritual development, erika and shivam of spirit horse wales, kestrel and jay of brigit healing centre in glastonbury, nirlipta tuli of the yoga nidra network in stroud, and swami rama’s sadhana mandir ashram in rishikesh, open floor international, and her many allies and friends for their support, guidance and good companionship.

she draws inspiration and sustenance from many sources including mooji, caroline myss, pema chodron, ram dass, terence mckenna, john o’donohue, jack kornfield, joanna macy, eckhart tolle, clarissa pinkola estes, michael singer, thomas huebl, rumi, hafiz, and kabir.

*

emmalene spent her formative years growing up in an international community in hong kong, graduated from newcastle university with a degree in politics and east asian studies in japanese, and worked as a translator and interpreter in the uk and japan in the 90s before changing her life path.

over the two decades emmalene has finely tuned her own unique energy healing sequence that softens the mind, soothes the nervous system, relaxes the adrenals, helps clear and energize the seven main chakras, fortifies the connection with the earth chakra and the pole star, and aligns the individual to their higher self.

the intention is to clear the way for deeper connection to the authentic soul self, and thereby inherently can be deeply transformative.
