My Mission is simple
“I want to empower people to not just survive, but thrive through life. I share the link between the body, mind and nervous system, which is the cornerstone to healthy living and the superpower that we all need to help us get through the tough moments.” – Emma Ferris
Emma is the trailblazer behind The Breath Effect. She is a wellness architect, a breathing geek and someone who is truly, madly, deeply committed to teaching the world to embrace stress and reduce its impact by breathing effectively. By sharing her life journey of trauma, stress and grief, she shares the tools that have helped her reset her health and life. She motivates people to make a change when they are ready and in a sustainable way.
Emma’s training as a physiotherapist and breathing coach have combined to offer a unique lens on how you reset your health when in times of stress. Emma believes learning to change the physical habits of our body, including the way you breathe is critical elements to processing trauma and stress. She combines the research into stress with practical everyday tools.
Emma has created an online experience to help people reset their bad habits, reduce stress and cultivate more moments of calm.. Designed for both men and women TRANSFORM is targeted at people that are ready to make a change in their relationship with stress and health over an 8 week period.
After working with women on retreats and seeing the need for a women-specific guided coaching experience, Emma created EMPOWER. EMPOWER is a 6 month Mastermind for women to unlock their inner compass, cultivate new habits, set boundaries and recharge their well-being.
Emma is not your average Physiotherapist. She is a Breathing and Stress Transformation coach, a motivational and corporate speaker, an acupuncturist, a Pilates instructor and a registered physiotherapist with over 17 years’ clinical experience.
