I’m Emmalyn Marie, a purposeful wanderer and forever dreamer. I am a classical oil painter, a trained vinyasa & menstrual cycle yoga teacher and a feminine empowerment coach. I live and travel full time in a motorhome with my husband and our two cats Bodie and Luna. I have been painting for 15 years and practicing yoga for 12 years and both of these practices continue to bring me home to myself, which is why I was called to them in the first place. They both feel like home.

After a decade of doing this deeply creative and spiritual work, I began to feel as though there was more to uncover within myself, but I didn’t know what it was or how to find it. Then fate stepped in. In an effort to understand our bodies on a deeper level, my sister and I decided to go off of hormonal birth control pills and start tracking our natural cycles. As I started to learn about my natural cycle, I realized that living in tune with my body’s natural rhythms and understanding how deeply connected we as women are to mother nature was the door to the deeper layer of myself I had been seeking to uncover. 

As I re-aligned my life to flow with my cycle, I finally gave myself permission to rest, something I had been desperately craving for so many years. In those periods of rest, I began to know and understand myself on a completely new level. I unearthed sexual trauma I had been suppressing for years and began healing from it, which led me to I finally feel safe in my body. I started moving and nourishing my body based on my inner wisdom instead of someone else’s workout/diet regimen and my body began to trust me. I realized I had been living most of my life in my masculine/yang energy, always forcing and controlling my way through everything, causing stress and anxiety to be my constant companions. So I began to soften and surrender to my feminine/yin energy, and I saw my true power didn’t come from my external accomplishments, it came from within me.

Through my creative, spiritual, and cyclical journeys, I painted a new picture of my life, one that was more beautiful and free than I ever could have imagined before, and then I created programs to teach other women how to do the same thing.
