BIO:
Although Emily was previously trained and certified in Acupressure, Reiki, and other healing modalities, she found herself caught up in the chaos of corporate life for years- along the way having two children and working seven days a week, her personal perfect health storm came knocking. After going from doctor to doctor, countless testing and diagnoses, Emily turned to Nervous System Regulation through Primal Trust Academy and has transformed her health and her life. She now works as a 1 on 1 mentor for the academy and has been featured on podcasts and brought her experience and resources to instagram as Nervous System Nerd to arm others with the tools, knowledge, and deep self understanding that helped her take her health and her life back.
