Who are we?
Weâre sisters, health coaches, and members of the Royal Society of Medicine but our journey into emotional health began at home. With neurodivergent children in our families, weâve lived through the challenges of emotional dysregulation and anxiety firsthand.
Driven by experience and a deep desire for real, practical solutions, especially for children, we realised something vital was missing: most approaches focus only on managing the childâs behaviour through cognitive strategies and almost entirely overlook the body's stress response.
Even more importantly, they ignore the adult.
But hereâs what weâve found time and again: when the adult changes, everything changes.
Thatâs where our work begins, with you. Helping parents regulate their own emotions and nervous systems first so their children can feel safe and thrive.

The foundations of our toolsÂ
1. Health Coaching
We use coaching strategies to promote behaviour change and understand emotional regulation, helping individuals to reduce anxiety.
2. Somatic Practices
Techniques like Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), Matrix Reimprinting, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Functional Breathing, and movement enhance internal awareness, deactivate the stress response, and reduce anxiety.
3. Lifestyle Medicine
Our evidence-based tools increase understanding of how lifestyle factors impact the stress response and emotional regulation, empowering individuals to make changes that reduce anxiety.

"This technique is a great tool to use in school to help children accept and feel in control of their emotions.Â
We are using it regularly with whole classes and groups to literally tap into how they are feeling which means when a child needs some individual support they have this technique at hand to help them manage difficult situations.
Training was informative, rooted in evidence and easy to transfer into practiceâ
Kate Bodle, Deputy Head, St Marys School, Henley
âStaff liked the way The Emotions Lab explained the science behind their approach as this made the reason for doing it more meaningful to the staff and children.
Knowing the science behind The Emotion Potion will make it easier for the staff to explain the approach to the children. Many staff were so inspired by the training that they discussed The Emotion Potion with individuals/ classes later that day.
The Emotions Lab were so knowledgeable and inspiring. They presented the approach very well and kept the staff engaged throughout the training sessions. Everything that Emma and Laura said made sense and they linked it to their own personal experiences.â
Claire Rolfe, Assistant Head, Trinity C of E, Henley
"Thank you for sharing The Emotion Potion with the school. The first I heard of it was my 6 year old coaching me on it when I was having one of those mornings đđ«¶đ»
Itâs absolutely brilliant. Love the difference youâre making and the help youâre giving us.â
