Today we’d like to introduce you to Emily Lamberton Hill.
Hi Emily, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I’ve been passionate about health and fitness since I was around 11 years old. That’s when I began running track and cross country and discovered I had a natural talent for it. Ever the strategist, I quickly became curious about how to fuel my body for optimal performance. By the time I turned 18, I had become a well-rounded athlete involved in everything from weight lifting and basketball to snowboarding, wakeboarding, biking, rollerblading, and ice skating—you name it, I probably tried it!
At that same age, my life took a tragic turn when my 21-year-old brother was murdered. My world shattered. In the aftermath, I began experiencing a range of physical symptoms that were either dismissed by doctors or chalked up to “anxiety.” It wasn’t until I worked with a gifted massage therapist that I truly understood how deeply our emotions and life experiences can manifest in the body. She used therapeutic bodywork and energy medicine to not only identify the root of my pain but also to help me heal. That experience opened my eyes—and my path.
I began my career as a massage therapist, dedicating countless hours to mastering corrective muscular techniques to help clients release the physical imprints of stress and trauma. My fascination with the body’s capacity for healing and performance only grew from there. I went on to become a certified nutritionist, personal trainer, yoga instructor, and ultimately completed my certification as a holistic health practitioner.
Today, I help clients uncover the specific root causes of their chronic conditions and health challenges. From there, I build them custom meal plans, fitness training plans and offer holistic recommendations tailored to their individual needs. It is my absolute passion to assist others in building true, lasting strength & health—from the foundations up.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
My journey really has been fairly smooth. Of course, as with anything worthwhile, there are some challenges. My main challenges involve me being my entire business. Sales, marketing, delivery of services, financial management, scheduling–it all falls on me, which can be overwhelming. Fortunately, I have the pleasure of working with some incredible clients, so that keeps me motivated to push through the struggles of managing the business parts.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Embody Healthy?
I offer individualized, high-touch holistic health coaching & fitness training. I combine my knowledge of health, nutrition and fitness, with almost 2 decades of experience to deliver wrap around coaching that gives clients the exact, personalized plans to achieve their health and fitness goals.
I am working with a lot of clients who are trying to: lose weight, lower their A1c, thrive through cancer, reverse autoimmune conditions, balance hormones, build muscle, detox and build a preventative holistic lifestyle.
Networking and finding a mentor can have such a positive impact on one’s life and career. Any advice?
Mentoring has been a major key to my success. I am a forever student, and value the wisdom of those who have gone before me in this field. I have had the pleasure of working closely with several gifted practitioners in various specialties in the health and wellness field- from naturopaths, to chiropractors to functional medicine doctors.
Some of the key things that I look for in a mentor are:
1) Integrity- they practice what they preach
2) Results- their clients are achieving their health & fitness goals, and they are successful in their own business
3) Humility- they know that they don’t know everything and they aren’t afraid to say so!
