Hi, I’m Emilee.
I am a body-mind health coach, movement healer, life coach and 2x cancer thriver. Author of Reclaim Your Strength & Hope, for safely rehabilitating your body after cancer surgery.
My mission is the help cancer survivors reclaim strength & hope and live a better quality of life. I teach movement as medicine and help women get out of physical and emotional pain after a cancer diagnosis.
After my Stage 3C Ovarian cancer surgery, I was frustrated to find limited resources about how to exercise safely with an ostomy. Because I’ve taught Pilates and yoga and have been working as a movement educator for the past 24 years, I understand and respect the human body. At the time, I was aware that movement was essential for my rehabilitation and improving my quality of life. I knew movement would be my medicine–and today I am here to teach you my exact roadmap to recovery.
My intention for Heal & Thrive is that it can help you connect to a better quality of life while you are going through the cancer journey. Some people heal faster. While others take years to heal. There is no one way that is perfect and I can show you the right movement that I call medicine.
Once you hear those words, “You have cancer,” you become overwhelmed by the thought of, “What do I need to do?” I can remember the feeling of being outside of my body … and I can still recall the panic deep in my chest and hardly being able to breathe through the fear. I remember feeling so alone.
No one should have to go through cancer alone, yet so often that’s how it shakes out.
With my Heal & Thrive Membership Program you won’t have to.

"As a gynecological surgeon, I know that this isn't easy territory. Surgery, recovery in a hospital and then the cancer treatments can all conspire to rob women of any sense of control over their bodies.
Emilee shows women how to rebuild, refocus and emerge stronger in a truly gentle and caring way. Her exercises are safe, gradual steps that women can do from their hospital bed to their own bedrooms to build endurance, confidence and strength. It's progress, not perfection, and Emilee’s book is there at your side along the journey to feeling whole again.
I whole heartedly endorse Emilee’s cancer recovery program and her spirit embodied in this unique method for women."
"I am blessed to know Emilee Garfield. She has been an inspirational patient in so many ways.
She has demonstrated courage, optimism, and humor during bleak times. Her grit and flexibility directed her through a true storm of life. This determination and bravery motivates all her providers and will continue to push anyone she meets to a better self.
Emilee gives hope with her motivation, perseverance, and dedication to living a healthy lifestyle despite tremendous adversity.
Thank you for reminding me to NEVER QUIT!"
"Emilee has written a book that is perfect for all patients undergoing abdominal or pelvic surgery.
Through her own experience, she has realized that recovery from surgery is not a race but a journey. She embodies mind, body and spirit to a successful restoration of excellent health.
Emilee elicits safe and dependable mental and physical exercises for a solid core recovery.I will recommend this book to all my patients."

How Emilee’s Work Has Changed Lives!
A must read for women going through ovarian or abdominal cancer!
Emilee's book not only guides the reader through step-by-step exercises for women healing from cancer surgery; she also includes inspirational exerpts about mindful practices, positive thinking, and her own healing journey with cancer that makes this book very special. Reading it feels like she is with me speaking to me. It is perfect for anyone who is navigating the difficult journey of cancer to begin on the road to healing.
Hope & realism!
This book can be helpful if you’ve had any kind of abdominal or pelvic surgery. I have had multiple surgeries as a result of endometriosis, and can relate and benefit from most of what’s in the book. Hope & optimism can be hard to come by when your body isn’t working as it should post-surgery, and Emilee provides that along with practical ways to get your body healthy again. Don’t let the cancer part scare you away from reading this if you need help with pelvic or abdominal dysfunction!
I rate this as a solid, intermediate routine - I expected it to be more beginner level, but was super pleasantly surprised!
Emilee is a great instructor, very encouraging and provides great form pointers. I definitely felt the core work the next day and enjoyed the routine. The core work and stretches are designed to aid in your cancer recovery and to strengthen you along the way, but I found this to be a nice routine for anyone. Emilee uses slow and controlled exercises for a recovery pace.
Love the program!
I am loving the program. I'm now at step 3 (just got my balls) and seeing some small changes already. Mainly the feeling that I'm waking up parts of me that have been dormant or withered away with the transplant. I am so very thankful to have a pathway back to moving that understands where I've been!!
Thank You Emilee!!
Hey Emilee, I wanted to tell you that I went for my 3 month check up with my Oncologist. When she was examining me she could not get over how good my pelvic floor felt. I told her it was because of YOUR exercises that I had been doing since my debulking surgery. Your videos have taught me so much about movement and the importance of stretching after surgery. I am 61 years old and had a five hour debulking surgery with a colon resection. Thank you Emilee! Never stop doing what you're doing, you are a blessing.
I'm so happy to have found what I have been searching for!
Emilee, I'm so happy to have found what I have been searching for. I'm so glad for your movements. It is very common as humans to always compare oneself with others. It is that pain that unites us when we have lost it all. I can clearly see the road ahead. I have been struggling for 3 years and you inspired me and showed me how we can recover together by sharing pain.
Emilee I love you!!!
Emilee I love you!!! This lady gets it! She understands the ups and downs during and after surviving cancer! She is so dedicated to helping others through it together. I've had 9 surgeries (more to come) and my last one was a big one... 16 hours! Her gentle stretches are so mindful of a body that's been through trauma like ours. She's been there. I will help you scream it to the world because I think this is the most well designed program too!!!
These exercises have been perfect!
These exercises have been perfect getting back in touch with my body and I was actually able to go for a 4 mile walk today! I totally attribute the physical and mental strength for this to your program. CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH!!!
Emilee has created a structure that allows you to feel safe and free from pain after surgery!
I was recovering from kidney surgery and saw on Facebook a post of the article Rebuild Your Core. This caught my attention because that is exactly what I needed to do but was reluctant as I wasn't feeling 100%. After reading that article, I called Emilee and have started her recovery program. At first I was nervous and fearful, but once she explained to me it's not what you think, it's not doing crunches or even beginning with what I thought was my core, I trusted her. These movements she shares in the article are so helpful for anyone recovering from major abdominal surgery. I did Pilates prior to my surgery and I am completely starting over. I feel like this is giving me a new start and a new foundation to re-educate myself on the true deep muscles that make up my core. Her approach is very gentle and encouraging. She has created a structure that allows you to feel safe and free from pain after surgery.
