Emilie spent a decade as a partner in management consulting before realizing that what energized her most wasn't influencing corporate strategy — it was watching individuals grow. That pull toward people led her to coaching. Her own subsequent experience with burnout and chronic pain added a deeper lens: a firsthand understanding of how the nervous system shapes performance, decisions, and capacity in ways most high-achievers never see coming.

Emilie has coached and advised executives and teams across industries including financial services, health and fitness, defence, retail, wellness, regulatory bodies, sustainable enterprise, and food and beverage. Her work ranges from helping entrepreneurs launch and stabilize their businesses, to guiding leaders in motivating their teams and strengthening culture, to supporting high-achieving professionals as they navigate organizations in pursuit of their career goals.

In 2024, a seemingly minor neck injury with no clear structural cause left Emilie in debilitating pain and unable to sit for more than 2 minutes twice a day for over 6 months. The experience forced her to slow down, learn about the neuroscience of pain and chronic stress and finally listen to what her body had been telling her for years. Her recovery became a full-scale review of how stress, the brain, the body, and chronic symptoms intersect and how often those signals are misunderstood.

Today, Emilie brings the lived experience of rebuilding her capacity — from near-disability to full engagement in work, movement, entrepreneurship, and leadership in under a year — to every coaching engagement. She understands that every internal or external input triggers an emotional and physiological response, perceived or not, and she uses neuroscience-informed tools to help clients reframe those responses in real time, while continuing to pursue key goals and achievements.

Emilie also now speaks regularly about the hidden costs of nervous-system dysregulation in the workplace, reframing chronic symptoms as data — signals that call for analysis, compassion, and nervous-system awareness — rather than weakness or failure. Her message is grounded in realism and hope: recovery is possible, capacity can be rebuilt, and leading from a regulated nervous system is not only healthier, but ultimately more liberating and effective than the constant urgency many high achievers mistake for success
