Cooking and creating recipes is one of her favourite pastimes. Dr Emmaline is also a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) with Yoga Alliance.
Dr Emmaline started her career as a scientist first and foremost, and her love of science and skincare has led to her pursuit of a Certificate in Cosmetic Science from the Institute of Personal Care Science.

She has also written essays on education and literature, as well as publishing research in medical journals.
