About Me

Emily Fraser - Health & Fitness Coach

Welcome, I'm Emily Fraser!

Your ultimate wellness expert and holistic health coach.

I help parents rediscover themselves and cultivate the healthiest and most alive versions of themselves through movement, nutrition, self-discovery and healing.

 

As a qualified naturopathic nutritionist, personal trainer and yoga teacher with over 20 years experience in the wellness space, as well as my own somewhat challenging journey as a parent (read my story below), I’m committed to bringing you a new way of experiencing and managing your health - beyond just the physical. I'm passionate about helping parents to overhaul their lives and prioritise their health and wellness in an achievable way that ultimately improves the lives of their entire family.

 

One of the main reasons I’m so passionate about helping parents feel as amazing as humanly possible is because I know what it feels like to finally discover true happiness through practising mindfulness and self-love, and using the tools i´ll teach you, to nourish your body, mind and soul.

My Story

In 2010 after working in London as a Personal Trainer, I moved to Portugal to teach Yoga. I immediately met my future husband and in 2012 we had our beautiful son, Rafael. At age two it became clear that Rafael's speech was delayed and medical investigations resulted in a devastating diagnosis of autism.
 

After months of bewilderment and lack of hope I came across an online series called The Broken Brain by Dr Mark Hyman which sparked a deep passion for natural healing. I became fascinated by the enormous impact that food can have on our brain health. I put my son, then age 3, on a gluten and dairy free diet and within 3 days he spoke his first words.

 

Having suffered on and off with depression and anxiety for most of my adult life I became fascinated in the healing effects of food across all kinds of brain disorders. By changing our diets, I slowly started to see differences in both myself and my son. From then, I was hooked, and I enrolled on a 3 year diploma to study Naturopathic Nutrition with the aim to deepen my knowledge of natural healing and provide these services to clients worldwide.

​

It was around this time that my marriage broke down and my son and I returned to live in the UK. Whilst the sudden change of becoming a single parent and moving countries after 8 years abroad was deeply challenging, it was this that pushed me start a much deeper healing journey, beyond the body, and into my mind and soul.

​

Over the course of a few years I explored various healing modalities, and what amazed me was that the changes in, not only mine, but my son's behaviour and sense of well-being, were incredible! From being a health nut (in terms of exercise and nutrition) to moving into a more holistic way of life (releasing the punishment and deprivation aspect to 'healthy living') I had no idea that it could have such an enormous impact on my son!

 

It was this miraculous turn around that inspired me to help other parents to take control of their health and wellbeing, holistically and sustainably. If I can turn my household from one of extreme stress, sleepless nights and daily meltdowns, into one of peace, love and harmony then I am going to make it my life's mission to help other families do it too!

 

I am so thankful that I found a way out of the maze of despair. I feel better now than I thought humanly possible, which is why I want to share my experience and knowledge with you. To help you feel your very best, most empowered and special self. Because, whether or not you believe it yet, you deserve it.
