Hi, I’m Emma.
I’m a Certified Health & Life Coach, Certified Personal Trainer, and (mostly) adaptive perfectionist who helps female go-getters, exhausted by all their go-getting, recuperate from optimization burnout, grow self-compassion, and build life systems that put them in line with their wholest self.
As a natural born perfectionist with a prediliction for doing everything myself, I’ve identified no fewer than four hundred thousand ways to take the easy way out — and have avoided all of them like the Plague.
After all, are you really good enough if you’re not trying? And are you really trying if it doesn’t hurt at least a little?
I don’t think I’m unique in my experience. I think there are many women who, hungry for their highest selves — or with a desire for control of their lives* — lay waste to their internal resources trying to set everything in place.
*Spoiler alert: the latter often presents as the former.
What if it didn’t have to be this way?
(If even asking that question feels scary to you, you’re in the right place.)
MY WHY
I started Nuanced Wellness in response to the multitudinous one-size-fits-all solutions, pseudoscientific fads, and life hacks that permeate modern “wellness” culture.
Life isn’t something to be hacked; it’s to be lived.
And living your unique life requires consideration of your unique self, in all its nuanced beauty. The internet seems to forget that.
The goal of my practice is to be a safe place for exhausted personal development DIY-ers to land, and to provide heavily personalized life, health, and movement coaching that puts you firmly in the driver’s seat of your life and body.
I lead with empathy and am methodical in my approach. I am constantly trialing and curating effective resources and lean on science-backed strategies to collaboratively build life systems and health programming that help you show up in the world energized, authentic, and at peace.
MY WHO
I chose to focus specifically on growth-minded women because we’re usually the ‘strong friend’ who ‘has it all together’. We don’t get checked on a lot because people assume she’s got this.
Sometimes we do! Other times, we’re verging on mental breakdown and then kicking ourselves for having the nerve to be human.
I know what it’s like to live with an aggressive lack of self-compassion, and I’ve learned how to develop it. It’s massively important to me that other women like me learn to do the same, and it’s an honour to play a part in that.
