Helping you love your life and your work again.
For the person who wants more in and from their life — and for the professional who’s ready for new ways of living, working and leading.
By the time most people find their way here, they’ve already tried a lot — therapy, self-care, mindset work, meditation, even burnout recovery. Yet something still feels missing.
I help people and professionals move from feeling lost, scattered, stuck or burned out to feeling grounded, clear and connected again — so they can live more aligned, easeful and fulfilling lives.
We do this work both 1:1 and in community — through shared spaces that weave evidence-based well-being practices, trauma-informed care, nervous system science and intuitive guidance with compassion and connection.
For professionals and organizations, this means learning to create trauma-informed systems and relationships that foster a felt sense of safety, trust and collaboration — the foundations of healing-centered care.
My approach is trauma-informed, non-pathologizing and rooted in the belief that healing happens when we work with our whole selves — mind, body and spirit — in environments where safety, curiosity and belonging are possible.
“I was first connected with Emily a few years ago when I was struggling and had found myself in a dark cloud. Emily was able to combine her professional tarot readings with her extremely genuine active-listening consulting work to help me. Emily has such calming and empathetic energy and an inviting presence. I really felt heard, seen and gracefully guided towards a path of finding my light. I would recommend Emily to any of my close family and friends if they found themselves in need of a holistic educator who truly cares".

My Approach
Everything I offer is rooted in trauma-informed principles, holistic well-being, nervous system education and intuitive wisdom. It is rooted in my belief that everything is medicine, so make sure what we do and create heals.
I help people:
• Feel hope for their future
• Identify and clear what’s keeping them stuck
• Embed simple sustainable practices that nourish their whole self - body, mind, spirit and emotions
• Collaborate with their nervous system for optimal well-being
• Access more Self energy — the grounded, compassionate, connected state that allows us to live and lead from our truth
• Design environments and interactions that help others (and themselves!) to feel safe interacting with their work
This work isn’t about doing more. It’s about learning to be — with presence, curiosity and care.

For Your Personal Well-Being
I have a deep love for the ocean and divide my time between the unceded, traditional and ancestral territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and Sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations as known as Vancouver, BC, the traditional territory of the Māori in Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland, New Zealand), and the traditional unceded territory of the Mi'kmaq people in Epekwitk (Prince Edward Island, Canada).
Meet Emily
My name is Emily Gibson (she/her), M.Ed.. I am a well-being and trauma-informed practice educator, intuitive guide, facilitator and consultant dedicated to fostering growth, connection and healing. I have over 20 years of community development experience providing leadership and support to Indigenous communities, not-for-profit organizations, schools, and businesses in Canada, New Zealand and Central America.
With a deep commitment to holistic well-being and healing, I draw from my lived experience and career in supporting communities impacted by trauma. In 2021, I founded Emily Gibson Consulting to help individuals and organizations thrive and succeed through cultivating safer environments and interactions while bolstering people’s individual and collective capacity for well-being.
I spent eight years with Right To Play Canada, most recently as the National Program Director, leading the Indigenous youth life-skills program (PLAY). I worked alongside Indigenous communities to design tailored well-being, suicide prevention, life-skills programs. I had the privilege of expanding the PLAY program to Western Canada and was honoured when they gained unanimous endorsements from BC’s First Nation leadership bodies.
I gratefully acknowledge the well-being practices and teachings shared by Elders from across Turtle Island that have been pivotal for my personal well-being journey. Through my commitment to holistic well-being and meeting the needs of my clients, I employ a diversity of accessible modalities and practices. In 2020, I became a certified intuitive tarot card reader and a reiki practioner.
I am always on the lookout for my next professional development opportunity. In July 2023, I completed my Master of Education with first class honours from the University of Auckland. My thesis explores Māori approaches to trauma-informed practices in arts-based mental health education in primary schools. I also have certificates in Global Mental Health: Trauma and Recovery from Harvard University, Trauma Counselling for Front-line Workers from the Hinks-Dellcrest, Children’s Grief and Bereavement from the Hinks-Dellcrest, Centering Black Youth Wellbeing: A Certificate on Combatting Anti-Black Racism from YouthREX, and Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training from LivingWorks.
