✨ A little reintroduction… and a very big update ✨
Hi, I’m Emily - therapist, yoga teacher, founder of Freedom Counseling & Yoga, and someone who still can’t quite believe what I get to call my “job” every day.
If you’ve been here for a while, you probably know I started this practice with nothing more than a deep love for the healing work, a tiny spark of courage, and a hope that maybe… just maybe… I could create a space where people felt truly seen.
I never imagined that spark would grow the way it has.
But it did.
And because of that, something beautiful is happening…
🌿 We are expanding into a physical space - a place designed intentionally for safety, nervous system softness, deep breath moments, and real connection.
🌿 Our team is growing - more heart-led therapists and healers joining this vision of accessible, supportive, evidence-based care.
🌿 And this community? You’re a huge part of why any of this is possible.
As we step into this next chapter, it felt like the right moment to say hello again.
Here’s what I want you to know about me:
🤎 I care deeply.
🤎 I believe healing is possible.
🤎 I believe therapy and mind-body work shouldn’t feel clinical or cold, they should feel human.
🤎 I believe in meeting you where you are and walking with you at your pace.
🤎 And I’m building this practice with those values at the center.
There is so much more to share over the next few weeks: sneak peeks, the new practice & collective studio space, the team, the energy behind this transition but for now… thank you.
Truly.
Thank you for being here, for trusting us, for supporting this dream as it grows bigger than I ever imagined.
I can’t wait for you to see what’s coming next!

It’s no secret that being a therapist can be tough sometimes.
Being a therapist means struggling with focus fatigue, never having enough time to mentally prepare between clients or feeling like you did something wrong when a client inexplicably ghosts you.
But it also means getting to support clients on their healing journey, which is incredibly rewarding.
Remember, therapists: you are human too, and you deserve to show yourself the kindness and compassion you show to your clients.

I became a therapist because I wanted to help women like me. Let me rewind real quick:
When I was in my teens and 20s I struggled with never feeling good enough. I felt anxious and uncertain most of the time. I had a general feeling of being unworthy of love and happiness. I used drugs and alcohol to escape these painful feelings and go numb. I found myself in toxic or dead-end relationships. I settled because I didn’t believe I was good enough or that I deserved better. Deep down, I knew something needed to change but I was repeating the same cycle for years.
When I became pregnant and had my daughter in my late 20s, it was a turning point for me. She became my priority and I wanted to be the best I could be. I became a “self-improvement junkie.”
I took self-help courses and seminars. I did cleanses, retreats, and yoga. If it was “transformational” I did it.
But none of this helped me deep down to my core. It was a temporary fix that faded. No matter what I did I just couldn’t get rid of that sense that I wasn’t good enough.
It wasn’t until I discovered a new therapy technique that my whole experience of myself shifted.
I couldn’t believe how effective it was. It was as if a weight was lifted from me. Best of all, I could finally talk about things that had hurt me in the past and not burst into tears. For example, the broken relationship with my biological father and other heartaches.
I can now say I am confidently living my best life because I discovered this powerful technique. I want to help other women who feel like they’re not good enough to ditch the self-help books. I know we can all feel confident and deserving of love.
