Educator
Emma Mills is a meditation teacher, author, and poet whose work sits at the meeting point of mindfulness, contemplative practice, and the human experience.
With over twenty years of practice rooted in the study of mind and meditation, Emma's work brings together guided meditation, poetry, nature, and the art of paying attention. In 2009, she co-created a poetry therapy programme with Mind UK, which received a £50,000 innovation award.
For the past five years, Emma has been a visiting lecturer at the University of Westminster, where her Mindful Poetry module forms part of the Psychology BSc curriculum. More recently, she has also been invited to speak on the business psychology module.
Emma's book Inhale. Exhale. Repeat., published by Penguin, is a meditation handbook structured around the working day. She is currently working on a second book, which continues to explore meditation through a poetic lens, and publishes The Breeze, a weekly Substack journal on stillness, creativity, and everyday beauty.
Emma has led sold-out art meditation and poetry workshops at the National Gallery, a meditation and movement session for Harvey Nichols Beauty Week, and member meditation experiences at The Ned. She has also collaborated with brands including Adidas, Apple, Maison Margiela, Stella McCartney, Waitrose, Lonely Planet, Neom Organics, and Amnesty International.
Book Emma to give your team the gift of calm through her meditation and breathwork sessions built on 20 years of practice.
Topics, sessions and talks
Emma Mills has spent years exploring what happens when we slow down enough to truly look. In this session, developed in collaboration with the National Gallery, Emma guides participants through the practice of receptive viewing, using a work of art as a focus for guided meditation, companion poetry, and journaling. Participants leave with a renewed ability to find stillness, beauty, and meaning in the world around them and the practical tools to keep returning to it.
Most mindfulness programmes ask people to find time they do not have. Emma Mills takes a different approach. Drawing on her meditation method developed over twenty years of practice, Emma helps teams and leaders build a sustainable relationship with calm, focus, and presence without overhauling their working day. Delivered as a single session or an ongoing series, this practical framework gives participants repeatable techniques for managing pressure, switching off noise, and returning to clarity.
Starting the day with stillness changes the texture of everything that follows. Emma Mills leads this accessible 45-minute session combining gentle breathwork, guided meditation, and mindful movement. No experience required, no equipment needed. Designed for teams, leadership groups, and corporate wellness events, the session draws on Emma's long-running early-morning programme for corporate clients and her background in psychology. Participants leave calmer, more focused, and with a sense of how even a short morning practice can shift the rest of the day.
Emma Mills designs and leads contemplative experiences that use the natural environment as a setting for guided meditation, poetry, and reflection. Developed through collaborations including a guided forest meditation for PEFC Geneva in Windsor Forest, this session invites participants to slow their pace, open their senses, and discover the restorative qualities of the world beyond the office.
Emma Mills gives teams the tools to find calm and focus in the middle of a working day, not just on a retreat. Her proven track record of successful collaborations with leading global brands demonstrates her ability to inspire and engage diverse audiences. Booking Emma as a speaker will not only elevate your team's performance but also foster a healthier, more positive workplace environment.

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
