Autorenporträt

Emily holds a BA in Psychology, and a Juris Doctor from St. Louis University School of Law, but her career path has been as winding and unpredictable as the autoimmunity that grips her body. Combining humor and spirituality, Emily has found a way to make peace with her chronic disease, even celebrating it, grateful for the lessons and blessings it has brought into her life. Emily has found her passion in using her creativity for children. She writes on the combined topics of spirituality and parenting and is also currently involved in the Conversations with God for Parents program by Neale Donald Walsch.
