Hi, I’m Emily—Intimacy & Somatic Coach—and I’m so glad you’re here.

My journey to becoming a coach was anything but linear. I grew up in the Midwest with a traditional upbringing, going to church with my family and moving several times during childhood. I followed the “American dream” path—college, career, marriage, kids. I even co-founded a successful blog, Million Mile Secrets, where my partner and I taught others how to travel the world using credit card points. We flew first class, stayed in five-star hotels, and lived a life of luxury. But beneath the surface, I felt lost and unfulfilled.

After our divorce, I entered another relationship that left me feeling resentful, overwhelmed, and incredibly lonely—despite having two beautiful, spirited young children. When my youngest was just six months old, I found myself asking, “Is this really all there is?” I had checked every box society told me would bring happiness: a degree, a career, a partner, a home, children (and yes, a dog). And yet, I still wasn’t happy.

Even after more than a decade in therapy, I still felt disconnected from myself. When my therapist asked, “What do you want?”—I couldn’t answer. That moment revealed just how out of touch I was with my own needs, desires, and truth.

I realized I had spent years trying to fix everything around me—giving to others (people pleasing), controlling my environment—while completely abandoning myself. It was time to redirect that energy inward. That’s when my healing journey began.

I began working with a somatic coach, who taught me how to listen to my body and release emotions I had buried for years. I also did EMDR, and within six months, everything changed. I started to feel a sense of safety, trust, and clarity I never thought was possible. Where there was once anxiety, fear, and grief—there was now compassion, forgiveness, and peace.

That transformation ignited a fire in me: I knew I was meant to help others heal, too. Coaching became the natural extension of my own growth. I’ve turned my greatest struggles into my greatest gifts, and it’s my soul’s purpose to walk alongside you as you find the life you always dreamed of.

I believe deep healing is possible. I’m living proof. And I’m honored to hold space for your journey.
