Welcome!
If you’ve found yourself here you’re no doubt a sensitive soul, a seeker &/or a pioneer in your family …
You might be here because you’re wanting to create a more attuned (authentic, soul aligned) connection with yourself &/or another?
Perhaps you’re looking to re-connect with your inner-child & heal some child-hood/ family “stuff” … Ahhh Hello ‘mother-wound! ?
You might be searching for attuned care/play for your child?
Maybe you’re wanting to deepen your connection with your child &/or better support your child through challenges?
There’s a fair chance you want to parent differently to the way you were parented AND it would be nice to have someone support YOUR intuition?
Parent/ child attunement:
“Practicing attunement is recognising what the child’s nervous system needs to feel safer. Nothing does that as effectively as a caring adult who can stay calm through a child’s emotional storms.”
Therapeutic/ relationship attunement
“Attunement can be simply defined as the focus of attention on the inner world. Interpersonal attunement is the focussing of kind attention on the internal experience of another.”
Soul attunement:
“As a spiritual practise, attunement is intended to connect a person more closely to their spiritual source and open the flow of life current.”
As humans we all face challenges in the areas of attunement/ authenticity & connection. Admittedly some of us sensitive souls struggle more than others - I mean we feel things that other folk just don’t feel (it’s a blessing & a curse - am I right?!) Truth is …for most humans our first experience of misattunement registers in our nervous system when we’re just a baby. As we grow, missatunement can happen in any pivotal moment when our primary care giver “misses” a cue to “tune-in” with us. We then spend the rest of our lives (unconsciously) recreating relationships & situations that play out the misattunement in the hope that “this time” our innate need to be seen, heard, understood and unconditionally loved- will be met. No wonder parent-child relationships & relationships can be challenging at times.
“We’re born with a need for attachment and a need for authenticity. …Sometimes we face a choice… to compromise ourself to sustain a bond, or to remain true to ourself and risk the relationship.” Dr. Gabor Mate
For a LOT of us sensitive souls this “choice point” was highlighted during the ‘pandemic’ …When we feel triggered into having to choose between authenticity or connection, the journey gets bumpy and we begin to wander from our path, our childhood “stuff” and adaptive behaviours rise to the surface. These challenges are part of our soul contracts & if we’re brave enough to explore them, they will lead us towards healing. Attunement Facilitation can help!
My name is Emma Hawkins, I’m an Attunement Facilitator and certified Senior Interplay(c) Practitioner. I’m trauma informed and the “seemingly simplistic” therapeutic method I use is based on modern attachment theory and evidence based neurobiology.
How do I do what I do?
By creating authentic, synergistic connection I tune into and feel WITH my clients’ experience to support the client (individual, couple, parent/child or family) with exactly what is. As clients’ relational patterns play out in real time, a process of recreating and reorganising begins to take place. By putting words to the unspoken I make the unconscious conscious. Through an experience of attuned, authentic connection; neural pathways are re-wired, adaptive behaviours are able to change, cycles of intergenerational trauma are broken and authentic connection (attunement) becomes the new normal.
Attunement Facilitation isn’t a “quick fix” … thankfully there’s nothing about you that needs “fixing”… However over a number of sessions (recreating, reorganising and rewriting) we WILL literally rewire neural pathways making life & relationships a hell of a lot easier and more fulfilling.

In the beginning …
** Once Upon a Time … Head, Heart & Hand Holidays Cambodia was my main focus in life (literally!) Alas, my own healing journey continues to teach me a LOT … (cue Rumi quote: “Once I was clever so I tried to change the world, today I am wise so I’m changing myself.”) Looooong (past life long) story short - I’m no longer facilitating holistic holidays to Cambodia - my soul has called me “home” again. I am forever grateful for our Head, Heart & Hand Team in Cambodia & all the beautiful paths I crossed, as well as the hundreds of AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL participants who joined us over the years.
“Head, Heart & Hand Holidays” now goes by “Head, Heart & Hand Co” & “Emma Hawkins| Attunement Facilitator.”
