"Thoughtful, honest, generous account of the author's experience of chronic illness. I have a totally different condition, but her journey resonated strongly - especially the often unspoken emotional, psychological impact of struggling with a chronic illness. The reflection activities, frameworks and ongoing recovery tools were particularly helpful. I hope the author is doing well". Purchaser

"I was in tears reading Emily’s work. For the first time, I felt truly understood — as if she had put my own journal into words. Her writing gave voice to the pain, isolation, and symptoms I’ve carried for so long, and helped me feel less alone in my journey with chronic illness. It’s a powerful form of chronic illness support that resonates deeply with readers." — Early Reader

"Emily has created such a valuable and much-needed book for those living with chronic illness. It’s beautifully supportive and deeply compassionate, making it an essential resource for personal development coaching and wellness coaching services." — Draft Manuscript Reader

As Chief Executive of my local council, I was proud to lead an award-winning organisation. Under my leadership, the Council grew in size and services, achieving a number of national awards for innovation and impact. I also spearheaded a new mental health and wellbeing strategy, implementing policies and actions that ensured the Council was awarded a Silver Award for Mental Health Wellbeing in the Workplace. This experience laid the foundation for my personal development coaching, where I now integrate executive and wellness coaching. 

My leadership career reflects what I now bring into coaching: a proven ability to embed wellbeing into systems and culture.
