Emily is a former attorney, professional actor, Lead Coach at Masterpath Coaching, Founder/CEO of The Canary Club, and creator of the 7-Day Virtual Retreat, ‘Shift Yourself’.

She utilizes Hermetic and Universal laws, as well as practical health and wellness knowledge, to help those who are sick of the struggle and want to design a dream life that honours their body and experience.
