Born and raised in Montreal, Qc, Canada. Emmie was very active. She had instruction in various dance genre, including classical ballet for which she studied 12 years. She dabbled in gymnastics, played badminton, tennis, and softball. She was a volunteer mom on school outings and fieldtrips. Then in 1999, Emmie discovered she was afflicted with Multiple Sclerosis. Emmie is a firm believer that the body heals itself. She went through as many books as she could find on the subject, read about how some people cured themselves, the different diets, the different medical options, the traditional and not traditional methods etc. She sought out private practitioners and even tried self-healing. For years Emmie struggled with the physical changes and fought the emotional roller coaster. While working with a hypnotist (part of her healing process) Emmie discovered a number of hidden emotions, memories and beliefs. Realizing she is not alone, Emmie decided to share her experience, to let others who suffer similarly, know they are not alone.
