About | Pivotal Wellbeing

A pivotal approach to wellbeing...

You are not alone.

I created Pivotal Wellbeing to help women navigate the twists and turns of their health journey. My motto for Pivotal Wellbeing is "health unfolds in arcs" because every woman's path to wellbeing is a journey. Your ups and downs are unique to you. My priority is to lead with compassion, so I can walk with you on your journey when you need it the most.

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

Hi, I'm Emma!

And the first thing you should know is,

You are not broken.

My goal is to help women reconnect with their inner and outer strength.

I work with women who are tired of the number on a scale dictating their lives, and my coaching approach is body-positive because your body is not a problem to be solved.

Skinny doesn't always equal healthy, and weight loss is not the "end-all be-all" for better health.

I work with women who want more for their wellbeing, whether that includes weight loss or not.

My body positive approach supports better health without added shame, guilt, or restriction.

You deserve better health.

My services are different because they're offered from a holistic perspective to acknowledge the whole you-- movement, nourishment, mindset, and the realities of your daily life.

When you work with me, your experiences and lifestyle matter. I help women feel stronger, more energized, more confident, and more like themselves without unrealistic lifestyle changes.

I will uplift your health and honor the uniquely beautiful challenges that come with it.

It's never too late to pivot.

My promise to you....

I'm a proud dog mom of two sweet pups.
I've been married to my best friend for 6 years, and we love traveling the world together.
My go-to coffee order is a vanilla latte with oat milk. Hot or iced depends on the weather :)
I love living in the mountains, but annual beach trips are non-negotiable!
I have a Doctorate degree from Virginia Tech, but I left the academic world to pursue Pivotal Wellbeing. Coaching women, teaching yoga, and building my business is more my style. <3
