Hi, I'm Emma;
a French-Mexican twenty-something currently living in New Zealand and working in the kiwifruit industry. How did I end up here and how do I combine my horticultural job with health coaching? Here is my story:
In 2018 I undertook a life-changing solo trip. No real plan other than looking for a more purposeful path. My office job was not doing it… I was not sure what it was I was looking for, but I was certain of what I did not want.
Throughout that year I did many manual labour jobs to sustain myself and keep travelling. Most of them were out in nature, working the land. It was through these jobs and my encounters that I started appreciating the power of the Earth as a medium to nurture Life and Health. Nonetheless, I needed to dig deeper: How was it that growing food made me feel closer to Nature but also to myself? I wanted to know the secret to achieving what I thought was “complete well-being”.
Flash forward four years later and after a certificate in Health Coaching through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition I have come to understand that life, with its complexities, is much more interesting as is. There is no recipe to achieving well-being: no two people are the same. Health is a holistic system that needs to consider not only food and physical activity but also love, career, relationships, etc.
Through coaching, I want to share these lessons and accompany other women who are struggling to find a balanced way of life and/or have similar questions to mine on their journeys to a happier self.
So that, whatever comes their way, they can fully embrace it as is.
If this is something that appeals to you, get in touch and let us start the journey together!
