Hello, I'm Emily, the founder of Emily Stanley Wellness.
I hold a Master’s in Occupational Therapy and a second Master’s in Integrative Medicine with a focus on nutrition. My approach is whole-body and integrative, grounded in the understanding that physical and mental health are deeply connected. I look at the full picture—psychological, nervous system, gastrointestinal, hormonal, and musculoskeletal health—alongside the realities of your daily life.
I’m certified in Perimenopause & Menopause through the Integrative Women’s Health Institute. Understanding how hormonal shifts impact women’s health—and how to support that through nutrition, movement, and hormone replacement therapy (HRT)—was a foundational part of my integrative medicine training and continues to shape the way I practice. I support women from their 20s through midlife and beyond, helping them build strength, resilience, and pelvic floor awareness through every season of life.
I’m also a certified Pregnancy and Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist with a background in weightlifting. I emphasize smart, individualized training that supports both core and pelvic health. Women thrive when movement aligns with our physiology—exercise should feel empowering, not intimidating. After having two kids and navigating my own pelvic floor challenges, I’ve seen firsthand how intentional movement not only resolves symptoms but builds long-term strength and confidence.
