About Elaine Lennon
Learn more about Elaine Lennon — songwriter, TEDx speaker, and Yoga Life Coach
Elaine Lennon is a Scotland-based wellbeing practitioner, yoga teacher, TEDx Speaker, creative facilitator and award-winning singer-songwriter.
Her work sits at the meeting point of creativity, nervous-system support and human-centred wellbeing — helping individuals, groups and organisations slow down, reconnect with themselves, and move forward with greater clarity and emotional resilience.
Whether she is guiding a yoga session in The Coorie, working one-to-one with a client, facilitating a songwriting project, or performing on stage, her intention is always the same:
to create calm, clarity and meaningful connection — without pressure, jargon or performance.
A way of working that meets real life
Elaine’s approach is grounded, multi-disciplinary and deeply human.
It has been shaped by:
-
professional training in yoga, life coaching, mindfulness and creative facilitation
-
a background in university lecturing and HR management
-
over a decade working professionally as a songwriter, performer and educator
-
lived experience of navigating illness, injury, recovery, motherhood and creative life
This breadth allows her to work comfortably across:
-
personal wellbeing and nervous-system regulation
-
creative and educational environments
-
professional, organisational and public-facing settings
Elaine’s work is also shaped by lived experience — including rebuilding her life after a serious car accident, living with hypermobility and fibromyalgia, and navigating the realities of motherhood and caring roles alongside creative and professional life.
These experiences inform her trauma-aware, nervous-system-led approach — not as a story of struggle, but as a deep respect for pacing, capacity and what real support actually looks like in everyday life.
Creativity as a foundation
Alongside her wellbeing work, Elaine is an acclaimed Scottish singer-songwriter whose music has been released to widespread critical recognition and performed on stages across Scotland, the UK and internationally.
Creativity is not something Elaine adds to her work — it is the lens through which she understands change, expression and resilience.
As a songwriter, performer and creative facilitator, she has:
-
performed at respected venues and festivals in Scotland and beyond
-
collaborated with songwriters and creatives internationally
-
delivered songwriting and creative wellbeing projects in schools and community settings
-
spoken at TEDx events on creativity, storytelling and emotional resilience
Her creative work brings depth, emotional intelligence and storytelling into every space she holds — whether that space is a classroom, a coaching session or a concert hall.
The Coorie & wellbeing work
Elaine is the founder of The Coorie — a purpose-built wellness cabin where she delivers private, in-person sessions designed to support calm, clarity and reconnection.

nervous-system-informed 1:1 coaching
-

Each pathway is designed to support sustainable change — without fixing, forcing or pushing — and always begins with safety, regulation and respect for individual pace.

"Little Bird Little Sailor, Time to see of what you are made"
'Little Bird Little Sailor, Time to see of what you are made...'
The Little Bird, Little Sailor symbol has long been part of my work — appearing in my songwriting, my TEDx talk, and the wellbeing and education work I offer today.
At its heart, it represents something deeply human.
Real change doesn’t come from pushing harder.
It begins when we feel anchored in something steady, then safe enough to move forward — gently, honestly, finding our wings at our own pace.
The Little Sailor speaks to resilience.
Learning how to steady yourself.
Finding your anchor.
Navigating uncertainty with more confidence, even when the waters feel uncharted.
The Little Bird speaks to freedom.
Creativity, perspective, and the quiet inner knowing that there is more available to you than simply getting through the day.
It represents the part of you that remembers how to lift your head, breathe deeply, and imagine again.
Finding your blue sky and reclaiming your wings.
Together, they hold the balance at the heart of everything I do: grounding before growth, safety before courage.
This philosophy flows through my music and wellbeing work — creating spaces where you can build a steadier foundation, so you can rise with more calm, clarity and trust in yourself.
