Gentle Yoga.

Intuitive Eating.

Health at ANY size.

Body Love.

You don’t need to be thin to be healthy, but taking care of your body is essential for good health. Focus on gentle exercise, and intuitive eating with a bit of mindfulness thrown in for good measure.

Emma Polette Albany Intuitive Eating

I help women make peace with food & exercise

We’ve all been on a diet (or 2, or 10) and if you’re anything like me, the thought of another meal plan fills you with dread, guilt and an inferiority complex. It feels like everyone else can get the diet and exercise thing “right” - except you. But I know you’ve tried all the diets, using your willpower, counting calories, weighing yourself every day, and all it’s done is brought disappointment and probably weight gain. That’s why my approach focuses on intuitive eating, gentle exercise and cultivating respect for our bodies rather than deprivation and punishment. After 10 years in the industry I know what helps women feel more energised, confident and empowered (and it’s not a diet!)

Kind words from clients ~~~

  • “Emma is amazing. I have just come away from a session feeling energised and that I matter - not in a big headed way but as a genuine human being kind of way. I don't usually share personal stuff but I have been feeling pretty low over the past 6 months, spiraling down to a point of no return. Found Emma by accident on Facebook and it's the best thing I've committed to. She cares and no judgement.”

  • “I feel so much better Thanks for letting me get all of that out! It’s stuff that so many of my friends wouldn’t get - either because they’re in diet culture or they’ve never struggled with size I appreciate what you do so much xx ”

  • “Hey Emma, I just wanted to share with you that I've been out and tried indoor beach volleyball! I was really anxious and had this little voice telling me I was no good and too unfit but I tuned it out and focused on having fun and doing my best. After playing for 2 hours I'm still buzzing with good vibes and feeling well worked out. Thank you for helping guide me to find confidence in my body and enjoy movement and exercise on my terms. You are the best person and PT ever! 🤩💜.”

  • In 2012 I started studying for my health coaching certification and thus began my career in the the health & fitness industry. Since then I have also studied and received certificates in group fitness, personal training, yoga teaching, and Reiki and I am currently studying for a certificate in Intuitive Eating and a Diploma in Counselling (life long learner here 🙋‍♀️). I have learned so much along the way and as a health & fitness veteran I thought I could share what I believe are the most important lessons (and some of them won’t be what you think!)

  • Once upon a time there was a woman named Emma. She was in her early 30’s and had led a fairly privileged life, especially when it came to body image. You see, Emma had always had a thin body (with a little bit of a belly if we’re being honest) and she had never worried about her size. She could buy clothes from any store, everything fit well and she always looked great. Sometimes she’d even buy clothes without trying them on because she knew they’d look good.
