“Working with Emily the past year-and-a-half has been a game-changer for me. I’m stronger, faster and more consistent in both my training and meditation/mindfulness than I have ever been. And, for the first time in a very long time, I have not had a single injury! Emily has coached me through seasons of big, intentional efforts as well as seasons of needing to listen to my body and slow down to make room for wellness in other aspects of my life. I’m so grateful for Emily’s breadth of knowledge, wholistic approach and encouragement to see my training as a fluid endeavor that adapts to support me and not the other way around.”

“I started working with Emily because I wanted to increase my margin in the wilderness so I could more deeply experience my time hiking and mountaineering. As a coach myself, I’ve written countless training plans for many types of athletes but acknowledged that I needed help to focus on my own development as a mountain athlete. While I knew she’d help me expand my margins physically, what I didn’t expect was just how much working with Emily would change how I go about every part of my life. The physical and mental attunement I developed through training and then honed in our calls is remarkable. Emily is one of a kind and I’m thankful to have found her!”

“After several trail races and a lifetime of running and exercise with little direction and focus, I decided to take the leap and sign up for a 50 mile trail race. Weary about this even being possible as a full time working mother and nervous that my body couldn’t hack it, I reached out to Emily for coaching.

Emily’s depth of knowledge and experience is so profound! Through the training plan and coaching calls I learned that I can really do anything that I want as long as I tend myself with kindness and discipline. I learned how to sleep more deeply and meditate even when I didn’t think I had the time. I also learned how to fuel my body to tackle those trails and support better recovery. Above all, I really learned to trust my own wisdom. I absolutely loved this experience! Emily is a gifted coach and so fun to work with!”

“This is my third year working with Emily and she has helped me peel back layers I didn’t even know existed. What started as a desire to adventure in the mountains and to summit a peak, has turned into discovering what my body can do simply by showing up every day. In just 8 weeks I will be running my first 50 miler which is just the beginning of an incredible season of adventure!”

"I met Emily while I was pacing a friend in the Superior trail races.  Emily was racing her way toward a podium finish in the 50 miler and ran past us with the biggest smile and verve.  A couple years later, after having a baby and returning to ultras post-partum, I wanted to work with an endurance coach who would understand my perspective as a new mom and also my values (adventure, being in nature, time with family).  Emily helped me push past doubts and countless barriers (including mom-guilt) to prioritize movement and consistency during a season of life that was extraordinarily challenging.  I wanted to work with Emily because I wanted to race my first 100 miler, but at the end of our 10 months together,  the benefits extended far beyond what I had hoped for.  I had also raced my first winter ultra, set a 70K FKT on a remote wilderness trail with new friends, run back to back marathons (more than once!) and a few training 50ks, and best of all realized after doing so many hard things in preparation for my 100 mile attempt (while juggling life as a new mom), that I was no longer afraid of doing hard things.  I took a leap toward a big promotion at work (after 12 years in the same professional role) and I got the job, largely because my fear of failure had more or less evaporated during the "year of doing hard things."  Life is brighter thanks to my work with Emily, and I 100% believe we've only scratched the surface on what else is to come.  As Emily says, we are all capable of so much more than we know."
