About Émilie
You’re so good at holding it all together.
The meals, the laundry, the appointments, the playdates.
The soothing, the planning, the showing up for everyone who needs you.
But quietly… you’re exhausted.
Not just tired — done.
You love your children deeply, but the pace, the pressure, the constant noise and touch leaves you feeling overstimulated and stretched thin.
You find yourself wondering: is this what motherhood is supposed to feel like?
You crave space.
Space to breathe.
Space to hear yourself again.
Space to be a mother without losing yourself in the process.
I see you. And I want you to know: there is another way.
I’m Émilie — therapist, mentor, and slow motherhood guide.
I support overwhelmed, high-achieving mothers who are tired of rushing, tired of performing, and ready to live and parent in a way that honors both their children and themselves.
For years, I did everything “right.”
I followed the rules, met the expectations, held it all together.
On the outside, I was capable.
On the inside, I was exhausted and disconnected — always doing, rarely being.
Slow living didn’t just help me “relax.”
It changed the way I understood my life.
It reminded me that motherhood is not a performance — it is a relationship.
And relationships need presence, not perfection.
I believe...
☕ You don’t have to sacrifice yourself to be a good mom
☕ Rest makes you a better parent, not a lazy one
☕ Boundaries are acts of love — for you and your children
☕ You can slow down and stay ambitious — without burning yourself out
☕ Your kids need a present, nourished version of you — not a perfect, burnt-out one
My Work
My approach blends:
🌸 my training and experience as a therapist
🌸 my lived experience navigating burnout, motherhood, and hustle culture
🌸 my passion for slow, intentional, values-led living
This isn’t about fixing you.
It’s about remembering yourself.
Together, we’ll:
✅ Release guilt and perfectionism
✅ Create rhythms that feel good for you and your kids
✅ Build in rest, space, and boundaries without the mom-guilt
✅ Reconnect with your voice, your values, and your vision for family life
Because motherhood isn’t meant to feel like survival mode.
It’s meant to be lived — fully, slowly, and in alignment with what matters most.
"You have a rare gift for helping people uncover the layers of who they truly are. It felt like you saw the real me, even when I couldn’t see it myself."

My Story
For most of my life, I was an overachiever — a walking burnout waiting to happen. I kept chasing the next milestone, believing peace would finally come once I had achieved “enough.”
In 2021, I completely burned out and stepped away from work for six months. That pause cracked something open. It gave me the space to ask: what do I actually want for my life, and for my future motherhood?
It was during this season that I began learning about essentialism, slow living, and authentic living. These ideas weren’t just helpful — they were healing. They allowed me to release the pressure, come back to my values, and begin living from a place of presence rather than performance.
But when I became a mom a year later, the old patterns crept back in. I tried to do everything “right” — be the perfect mom, keep the house together, never drop a ball. Instead of joy, I felt overwhelmed, overstimulated, and teetering on the edge of burnout.
That experience pushed me to take ownership of my motherhood and make intentional shifts. Shifts that allowed me to create the kind of life I deserve — and become the mother I longed to be for my daughter.
Today, slow motherhood isn’t just a concept I teach. It’s the way I live. And I’m here to walk alongside you as you create your own.
Back when I was so exhausted, I’d crash on the couch by 6 PM every night — but never actually felt rested.
