About Emmy
I opened my own clinic at 26. The people who came through its doors changed what I believe about strength.
Psychotherapist, hypnotherapist, author, and someone who has also said yes when she meant no.
The story
In 2004 I founded Europe's first trauma-focused facility. For two decades I sat with thousands of people working through some of the hardest times of their lives.
What I saw, over and over, wasn't mental illness the way most textbooks describe it. And the people in front of me weren't necessarily falling apart. Many of them were holding everything together for everyone else, brilliantly, at enormous cost to themselves. Their strength was part of what was hurting them.
I began to see the same thing outside my clinic, in people who would never have come through its doors. People running companies and families, asked every day how they did it and never once what it cost them.
In 2021 Penguin published my first book, Find Your True Voice, and I started saying in public what I'd been telling my clients for years. So much of what we call burnout, anxiety and exhaustion is a rational response to an unsustainable way of living. And success bought with self-abandonment is not success.
Now I work with high-achieving people in person and online, through live immersions and one-to-one coaching. I use a method called Vintivity, and it rests on one belief... you can keep building, and you don't have to lose yourself to do it.
