About
Hi, I'm Emily.
I'm a recovered woman, channel, healer, and coach. I write honestly about the imperfect (gasp!) non-linear journey of healing emotional capacity alongside our children. Reaching for depth and connection, over and over. Choosing repair instead of resentment. The transformative world that parenting can be.
Nearly twenty years ago, I recovered from an eating disorder and alcoholism. I rebuilt my life from the inside out and believed I had healed the perfectionism, insecurity, and anxiety that once ran the show.
Then I became a parent. And the work deepened in ways I never expected.
The Deeper Story
Parenting revealed in me the places that still needed to be healed. Through my work as a healer, channel, and coach, I began to see that this is the deeper work so many women are being invited to.
Healing childhood pain and the patterns, so they can live and parent from a more present, peaceful, grounded place.
"Face your demons or they'll raise your children."
That's the work. The vulnerable, messy, imperfect work that heals all of us.
This is why I created Wise + Wild: to share honestly about the truth of imperfect, conscious parenting — and help mothers return to the most alive, happy, and fully expressed versions of themselves.
"I am deeply concerned about adolescent boys and grown men, who currently top the charts with suicide, drug abuse, feelings of isolation and loneliness. It feels crucial to help steer a better course for our boys and men, even if it's just by sharing my own failures and growth."
I'm also a boy mom, but this work is just as essential for our girls.
Learning how to parent our children differently can be one of the most transformational experiences an adult can have — because we can re-pattern our emotional processes and mental health in the process.
The Heart(s) Behind Wise + Wild
Wise + Wild was inspired by my boys.
By their wise and wild nature.
By the way they move through the world with playfulness, chaos, joy, full physical presence, authenticity, and beautiful aliveness.
They have invited me into some of the deepest healing of my life, and inspired me to be the absolute best version of myself- and for that, and for a million other reasons, I am wholeheartedly grateful.
