The Heart Behind Emily Finds Healing
Meet Emily
Hello sweet human.. ♡
I’m Emily Quint — a woman shaped by love, loss, and a heart that feels the world deeply. In this beautiful, complicated journey of life, I wear many hats: wife, angel mom, dog mom, daughter, sister, auntie, friend, survivor, advocate, author, student, sunset seeker, and “a sunflower soul.”
Life has taught me that healing begins in the moments we let ourselves be honest — gently, quietly, and without perfection. When we dare to show our vulnerability, nurture our resilience, and allow others to meet us with care, something shifts. In those soft spaces of self-compassion and connection, we begin to find our way back to ourselves. I am deeply passionate about walking beside others on their healing journeys, holding space with warmth, steadiness, and respect as they rediscover their own light in the dark.
I’m currently completing my Master of Social Work, moving toward my dream of becoming a therapist. Before this chapter, I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, a Master of Education in Developmental Psychology, and a Post-Graduate Certificate in Addictions and Mental Health. Through both my lived experience and my education, one truth has never changed: healing is deeply personal, but it was never meant to be done alone.
At the centre of everything I do is this belief: love, compassion, and connection are what truly transform us.
Like a sunflower turning toward the sun, I’ve learned to grow through seasons I never thought I’d survive. Now, I walk alongside others, honouring their stories and reminding them that even the most shattered pieces can bloom again.
The “Why” Behind My Work
At the heart of my work is a deep commitment to my younger self — the little girl who was told she was too sensitive, too emotional, and too much. I spent years trying to shrink myself to fit into a world that didn’t know what to do with a heart like mine. But with time, healing, and a lot of unlearning, I came to understand that my sensitivity was never the problem.
It has always been my superpower.
My empathy, vulnerability, and deep attunement to the world became the very qualities that anchor me now. They guide the way I support others, the way I write, the way I advocate, and the way I hold space for people navigating their own pain. These are the gifts I once tried to hide, and the gifts I now honour in myself and fiercely protect in others.
This commitment fuels my passion for creating spaces where people feel seen, heard, and valued in the ways I longed for when I was young. I stand up for that child I once was, and for anyone who has ever been told they were too sensitive or too much.
I believe healing begins when we stop apologizing for who we are and start embracing the parts of ourselves that feel the truest — the tender, emotional, intuitive parts we were taught to suppress. These values are the foundation of my work and the compass that guides my mission: to nurture connection, honour truth, and remind people that their softness is not a flaw. It’s where their strength lives.
Thank you for being here, for reading my story, and for letting our paths cross. If something in my journey resonates with you, I hope you’ll stay awhile. You’re welcome here — exactly as you are.
