My Experience with Emma
I would like to thank and share about my experience working with Emma. Her incredible work and dedication to help me navigate, cope and keep optimistic with being diagnosed with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and Hereditary Alpha Tryptasemia (HATS) goes without words. I was diagnosed finally after many mis-diagnosis about 7 years ago, and started working with Emma as her client about 6 years ago.
I met Emma about 15 years ago when I started taking some of her courses to learn better how to care for myself and in search of feeling better. I was struggling with many digestive, gastrointestinal, hormone and thyroid issues, chronic sinus infections, lyme disease, mold and toxin overload issues and the list goes on. I was taken by her brilliance and enthusiasm in how much knowledge, insight and resources she had about how the body works, what is going on in the body causing these issues and a list of resources and tools to support and coach either a client if you are a practitioner or someone like myself wanting to improve my own health and well-being. In 2017, I participated in her Destination Well-being course, where she taught her students the 12 pillars of well-being and I learnt so much from this course. Her way of connecting the body to our daily lives and how so many factors affect our well-being and the steps to pursue optimal wellness regardless of our limitations.
In working with Emma she has helped me improve the quality of my life tremendously. Emma has helped me so much to realize I am so much more then just my medical condition which is complex and affects multi-systems of the body and can fluctuate in symptoms rather quickly. She helps me tackle whatever challenge is causing the increased reactivity or flare ups. With my condition I have to take medications and supplements to manage it and see a number of specialists, but Emma supports me regardless of what treatments I am having to do depending on the different specialists I have to see. She puts so much methodical thought into all the protocols she puts together for me, and changes my protocols as we need.
She helps me control and work to resolve the underlying and contributing drivers that exacerbate my condition even further. All of the past issues I have been dealing with, she has provided me with a tool box of resources from diet suggestions, mold detox protocols, silo protocols, testing kits, etc. and all the resources I could ever hope for to take care of myself the best I can. The FSM protocols, detox foot baths, chi machine, mede-crystal mat, etc. have all contributed to improving my well-being.
In 2023, I visited Emma at her clinic in England for a 9 day immersive. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but this experience so exceeded my expectations. The days went by so fast, and there wasn’t any topic of well-being we didn’t touch on. Each day changed some depending on my response to the FSM treatments, etc. but Emma managed to know exactly what I needed each and everyday to help me most. Emma and her clinic coordinator and office manager Nicki, helped me plan for a smooth trip from Canada there and home. Each day would start off with the warmest welcome from Nicki setting me up on the foot detox bath, chi machine and some music or whatever I needed, then I would spend the day with Emma. Emma is such a kind and caring person, she helped me so much everyday, she created such a safe space for me to just be myself, and share and talk about so many things with her. I didn’t realize how tired and worn out I was until I had the chance to just be in a space that I could let my guard down and talk about whatever I needed to. I had the perfect balance of free time and time spent with Emma. When I left I had so much more energy and a new appreciation on my life and all the possibilities of things I could accomplish by just believing more in myself. Since my experience there, I focus more on what I can do rather than what I can’t do because of my medical condition. I have been able to maintain and continue on with many of the treatments Emma did while I was there. That’s the beauty of Emma, she is there to guide, support and help us but she also wants her clients to be able to be self sufficient in applying whatever she thinks may help us. Her generosity, kindness and passion for wanting optimal health for each and everyone she works with is truly a gift that I am so grateful for. It’s hard to put into words just how exceptional Emma is at what she does, I am so grateful to be her client.
