Emily is an outdoor enthusiast who grew up on the East Coast with a passion for adventure. Her years at sleep-away camp, on a lake in eastern Canada, gave her a love of camping, hiking, kayaking, canoeing, and time outdoors. This instilled a deep appreciation for the wilderness as a positive influence on mental health. Emily went on to work as a counselor and got her lifeguard certification. 

After entering long-term recovery at 21, she worked in the New York corporate world at one of the largest executive search firms in the nation, placing C-level executives for the retail, fashion, beauty, and consumer-facing industries for eight years. Emily recently decided to follow her dreams of helping others find their healing path. She is an active participant in the recovery community, an AR-certified recovery coach, and knows that the outdoors is a vital connector to wellness.

In 2024, she backpacked and hiked through Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Colorado, and California, which led her to move to Orange County. Emily is a trail runner, currently training for ultramarathons, and is always up for activities that get her outside. Emily’s work focuses on guiding others to experience nature’s medicine.
