Emer Pateman

After more than a decade leading teams in early years education, Emer discovered breathwork and meditation as powerful practices for supporting her own wellbeing. What began as a personal journey soon transformed the way she led, connected with others, and navigated the demands of everyday life, inspiring a passion for helping others experience the same sense of calm, clarity, and resilience.

Emer is a Just Breathe Certified Meditation & Breathwork Teacher and an ICF Accredited Coach. Drawing on her background in leadership, coaching, and workplace wellbeing, she integrates neuroscience, mindfulness, and compassionate enquiry into practical, accessible practices that support sustainable wellbeing in everyday life.

Her teaching is warm, grounded, and inclusive, creating spaces where people feel safe to arrive exactly as they are. With a gentle sense of humour and a belief that there is no single “right way” to meditate, Emer encourages curiosity over perfection, helping people reconnect with themselves without judgement or expectation. She is passionate about making breathwork and meditation accessible to everyone, empowering individuals to cultivate greater presence, resilience, self-awareness, and inner calm—both in their personal lives and at work.
