"Hi! My names Emma, I’m 26 years old. I’m from Canada and I am a mom of two. I’m on week 8 of the Real with Emma program. I went into this dead set on losing weight and working out super hard - and let me tell - yes, I did lose some weight BUT I am walking away with so much more. I have struggled with eating disorders and mental health issues since a very young age. I, like SO MANY OTHERS, was taught that my appearance defined my worth. That women are meant to be thin, and delicate. That my large athletic legs - from running, tennis, horseback riding, swimming, sailing - were wrong. Too big. Too muscular. I was always made fun of for my boobs - they developed a lot sooner than most girls. At a young age I would hide food under my bed - chips, cookies, icing - and binge on them. When I got a bit older in my teenage years I gained weight and so along with the binging came purging and over exercising. After I had my daughter I jumped from both extremes. Binging with no purging or extreme dieting. After having my son just binging. And binging. I felt like I had lost control. I am here to tell you that after this program I now LOVE my body the way it is and will continue to work to get healthier - from a place of love NOT hate. I am trying so hard and learning not to judge others OR judge myself (and being able to catch myself doing it, forgiving and moving on when it happens). My relationship with food is HEALING like never before. I am much more mindful and taking the time for myself. I feel SO happy. I am SO full of gratitude. I am making the time to meditate, journal and do the things that feed my body and soul so that I can be the best mom and wife I can be - and while not every day is perfect they are so much better than I ever could have managed. I have learned to work through my emotions rather than just hold on to them until I snap. AND SO MUCH MORE. So many amazing things have come from this and there is so much more to come! A big thank you to Emma! ❤️"

"Never in my life have I understood what true wellness was. Emma was so honest in her own story and how she found her way to wellness. Her meal plans and push to fall back in love with cooking has been such a blessing to me and my family! We cook together every night and enjoy meals all together. Her guidelines on living mindfully and intuitively have given me my joy back. She completely transformed my view on what a "diet" should be. I have never had more energy and in 8 weeks dropped 2 pant sizes - and haven't looked at the scale once!"

"I am 56 years old, divorced with two adult children. I have a job that I love, amazing friends, and I’m more happy than not. But I felt like I was missing something – like I was treading water. Just existing, you know. I follow all the “right” people on Instagram. You know the ones, those motivational influencers that tell you to be more mindful. Problem is, they never tell you HOW. One day I stumbled upon Real with Emma. Her Instagram page spoke to me. For one thing, it wasn’t all sunshine and unicorn dust. It was really real! That drew me to her website. I filled out a questionnaire for more information. Next thing I knew I was signed up for her 8 week 1:1 program. I’ve looked for a life coach before, but none of people I found spoke to me like Emma did. She talked about mindfulness and intuition, comparison and judgement, sleep and meditation. This wasn’t just one of those eat what I tell you to and workout the way I tell you to and you’ll be fine. Emma encourages you to ask the hard questions of yourself; not just what you may be doing wrong, but WHY. She taught me so much in those 8 weeks. I have more purpose in my life. I trust my intuition. I trust my body. I listen to my body! I don’t think I’ve ever done that before. Sure, I lost some weight and I toned up some, but it isn’t about that. It’s about loving you and your body exactly how you are. Emma taught me how to do that. I will be eternally grateful."

"I had gotten to a point in my life where I didn’t know which direction I was going to go. It was either give up on my wellness goals completely, or finally invest in something or someone to show me the way. I reached out to Emma after she was recommended by a friend. I thought a health coach sounded like the right way to stay accountable and to learn. After one call with Emma I knew I this was what I needed. I came looking for help with my diet and working out but got so much more. Emma’s program gave me my life back. I have never been so connected to my body. I am happier than ever. I feel good in my body again, even better than I did when I was younger (pre-kids)!!! Emma’s ability to be a grounding and supportive partner during the program was the biggest blessing. She made me feel at ease, seen and heard. I am 42 and feel like I am finally living!"

"I can say that from the moment I started the Wellness program with Emma, my life started changing in such a positive way! My energy is amazing, my skin has cleared up and my relationship with food has never been better.....I thought that it would have been so hard to change my diet and start eating healthy, but Emma made it so easy; she is such a great motivation and her positivity made me feel supported even on my worst days…. Through this process I started growing more self confidence - I have Emma to thank for that because this program is not just about food, it is about your entire well being. She’s cares about your lifestyle and tries to dig deeper to understand what will work best for YOUR lifestyle. If you are willing to work for it, Emma will get you there!"

"Working with Emma for the past 12 weeks has been motivating, educational, and empowering. In addition to always answering emails and texts about bad food days and good food days, providing endless recipe ideas and alternative snack choices and teaching sustainable eating habits, Emma is also personable and so supportive. Our first meeting she said, "Don't call me your Wellness Coach, I'm just Emma," making the relationship more personal and open from day one."

"Emma is the BEST! Not only have I had the pleasure of being instructed by her in her strength classes, but also educated through her Wellness Coaching. As an trainer she is constantly reminding you to engage the right muscles and ensuring your form is correct, which sometimes in the moment we forget to do, so it is a welcome reminder throughout the workout. When I met her to discuss my everyday diet and weight loss goals, she took the time to understand ME, my health and my goals, versus throwing a generic meal plan at me that fits within the “food pyramid.” Her approach of getting to know the background of each and every individual she works with, mixed with her passion for educating and 2019 mindset on health and wellness, makes her a valued resource, coach and friend!"
