Emily Goff-Parkin Email & Phone Number

Combining science, mindfulness and nervous system work- I offer a practice that combines all the parts of a person that I believe are needed in healing and thriving. With my background in psychology, somatic therapy and retreat holding I am so excited to share the transformation this work can bring to your relationship with self, body and life. My main focuses are "healing" the mind and body (anxiety, depression, burn out, OCD, relationship with self), nurturing the self (using therapy to not only heal whats hard but nurture what feels good), and create flourishment (with my support, you won't need me for that long).

A sixth month contract supporting a retreat center part on regenerative land was a blessing. While I was training to be a coach myself, I was privileged to meet some of the best coaches from around the world and be inspired by their ability to hold space and encourage transformational experiences. My role of supporting the design, logistics and giving of retreats gave me skills that will nourish my own retreats which I am deeply grateful for.

Supporting life coaches with sharing their message with the world was awe inspiring for me. Understanding their methods with my psychology background, and an innate passion for supporting others on their journey, I loved assisting coaches with articulating their work, giving secondhand support in their sessions and strategizing how they serve others. This role amped up my ambition to become a coach myself and led to me becoming accredited.

Sri Lanka And Bali

Working with Plan My Gap Year I had many responsibilities regarding coordinating volunteers abroad. In Sri Lanka I helped run several projects such as teaching, animal conservation and temple reconstruction. I was in charge of giving orientations to new volunteers, teaching them SinHalese (the local language) and running two week trips around the country with school groups of up to 30 under-18 year olds. In Bali I spend 3 months running a child care project, while on weekends taking volunteers on trips across other islands.Working with Plan My Gap Year is something I will never forget, it gave me a lot of the skills that I have today.
