Emmi grew up in Finland, where she completed her physiotherapy degree. Working as a physio she saw how important a holistic approach to health was. This ignited her passion towards holistic health and lead her to complete qualifications in mat pilates, yoga, reformer pilates and health coaching.
Since having her daughter, Emmi’s interest in women’s health has grown and she’s specialised as pre- and postnatal trainer. Emmi is always looking to grow her skill set and is eager to learn more about health.
Emmi has trained in Cognitive Functional Therapy (CFT). Cognitive Functional Therapy (CFT) is used to manage chronic Lower Back Pain (LBP). It focuses on analysing the behavioural psychology and beliefs seen within patterns of movement. By understanding the patients beliefs and experience of their pain, the physiotherapist can identify modifiable factors associated with the individuals LBP. The goal is to assist patients to understand their pain within their viewpoint, and identify strategies for them to manage their pain that’s aligned with their goals for activities, participation and lifestyle. This helps the individual become autonomous and self manage their pain.
In her free time Emmi loves to spend time with her husband and daughter, often going to the markets, beach or having a bbq with friends.
