Emme delivers an intimate, proactive view of how one can take part in their own healing process. She reveals her battle and journey through the medical maze along with her own efforts to marry conventional medicine with holistic care. Emme believes “growth only comes when pushed, prodded and forced to face what lies in front of you- being the salt and pepper of life; the good with the seemingly bad, in all its glory.” To say this was a gift may sound strange, but she feels in so many ways it has been. Emme used to improve her wellness and enhance her immune function and those that she continues to use, in post treatment. She is interested in what all of us can learn together and, in particular, what might work for people in different situations. She talks of additional therapies that helped her stay vivacious and energetic during the roughest times and how medical and holistic healing approaches offset the negative affects of chemotherapy, without affecting the protocol itself. Emme reveals her own cancer and it’s treatments - including the emotional, physical and psychological obstacles that must be overcome in order to help others and realize their dreams! - No Room For Fear: Where Passion Lives, Abundance Flows!
Emme, supermodel, TV personality, Revlon cover girl, creative director of her clothing lines and 4 time author is a vocal advocate for people of all ages to be fit and healthy by embracing an active wellness lifestyle while simultaneously rejecting societal pressure to conform to one standard of individual beauty. Having triumphed over her own share of tragedies and roadblocks, Emme has a unique knack for turning even the worst of what life dishes out into a learning tool for growth. Join Emme on this journey as she helps open even the narrowest of minds and encourages us to reflect on and embrace change or at least give personal growth a chance! Be it giving up dieting, throwing your scale out the window, meditating, or surviving cancer, she models how to prevent adversity from getting the best of us. It is for this reason that she is a trusted example and positive role model to young and old. You’ll leave inspired and ready to take on new challenges and you’ll have had a few laughs along the way. - Finding Your Whole YOU Through a Body+Mind+Spirit Connection!
Emme, Founder of the EmmeNation Community and Whole You Adventure Series believes all success and human potential flows from a connection between our bodies, minds and spirits. Without these three aligning, our truest, most WHOLE YOU remains untapped and causes us repeated discomfort and hits and misses. Once we become aware, connected and aligned to our body+mind+spirit we’ll then begin to learn how to release what causes our discomfort, disease and disconnect to bring us closer to our true selves. Meditation and breathing techniques will be demonstrated as well as a short meditation period shared.
