You are not alone.

Wherever you are in your health journey we will meet you there.

Pivotal Wellbeing is here for you!
You are not broken.

Pivotal Wellbeing pushes back against an ever present weight loss narrative in the fitness industry. After teaching hundreds of fitness classes, coaching dozens of women, and managing community health programs for 4 years, our founder decided it was time to create something different.

How many times has the number on the scale made you feel less than? We're willing to bet... A LOT.

We're also willing to bet you've tried diets and trends with short-lived success.

 

Our body-positive, holistic approach honors female bodies and hormones for long-term success.

You deserve to reconnect with your best self.

Weight does not define your worth. At Pivotal Wellbeing, we know that weight is not the sole marker of health. We uplift women’s health and honor the uniquely beautiful challenges that come with it. Our philosophy is significantly inspired by our founder's own challenges with body image, hormone health, and mental health. We get it, and we've been there!

 

It's never too late to pivot.

Our promise to you....

We will never tell you to:

work off your meals

weigh yourself daily

count calories

We will tell you to:

honor your body

work with your hormones

seek joyful movement

Can't wait to meet you!

I would love to be your coach

Hi, I'm Emma and I'm so happy you found Pivotal Wellbeing! 

Creating a health and wellness brand has been a dream of mine for quite some time. Countless iterations have come and gone from my mind over the years, until I found my way to Pivotal Wellbeing.

I live in Virginia, four hours south of Washington, D.C. in the beautiful blue ridge mountains. I love connecting locally, but our services are entirely virtual and accessible from anywhere. 

I've been coaching and training women for 8 years. My goal has always been to make healthy living feel accessible, approachable, and achievable. I hope you'll find what you're searching for here!

My experience

  • 10 years mentoring women

  • 8 years coaching group fitness

  • 5 years training women

  • 4 years managing community health programs

  • 3 years teaching nutrition

  • 1 year teaching yoga

Just for fun...​

  • I'm a proud dog mom of two sweet girls.

  • I've been married to my best friend for 5 years.

  • My go-to coffee drink is a vanilla latte with oat milk. Hot or iced depends on the weather :)

  • I grew up in SC and was raised a beach girl. After I moved to VA, I slowly became a mountain girl. But don't get me wrong, I still need my annual beach trips!

  • I have a Doctorate degree from Virginia Tech, but I left academia to pursue Pivotal Wellbeing. Supporting women and building my business is much more fun than writing research papers and applying for grants. <3
