Emily Hodson completed Wellness Coaching Training with Coach Training EDU (CTEDU) in November 2019. She loves work with clients of all backgrounds to seeking to enrich their lives through wellness but has a special interest in helping individuals who are active in or seeking recovery from any number of addictions (substance, food, money, etc.), living with chronic health conditions.

 

"My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate and loving space for clients to learn, grow and live their dreams, particularly during these trying times we as a planet find ourselves in.

​

I love working with others and have a strong willingness to work with a client’s existing support team (as they wish of course). Our past and present experiences don’t have to define us, they can provide us with the insight, strength, and hope to move forward in whatever direction we see fit. Keep on keepin’ on, you’re worth it!"
