Emily Chapman
Emily is a nationally board-certified health and wellness coach (NBC-HWC) and founder of Emily Chapman Wellness LLC. With a rich 25-year background as a former C-suite executive in sales, marketing, and business development, Emily brings a unique blend of leadership expertise and wellness passion to her work. Certified by the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and the National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching (NBC-HWC), she is also a trained lifestyle coach for the CDCapproved Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP). Emily specializes in metabolic health, weight management, and longevity, empowering clients to take control of their health through evidence-based practices. Her company offers individualized coaching, group programs, and corporate wellness solutions designed to enhance productivity, reduce stress, and improve overall well-being.
Emily’s passion for health coaching is deeply personal, inspired by her family’s history with diabetes —her father passed away from the disease, and other family members have struggled with their metabolic health. This personal connection drives her commitment to helping clients improve their well-being through her four pillars of wellness: nutrition, exercise, stress management, and sleep. A signature offering, The PROactive Method for Metabolic Health & Longevity, is a transformative 12- week program that equips individuals with tools to build healthier habits, increase energy, and achieve sustainable wellness goals. Emily has also built a network of board-certified health coaches, enabling her to deliver customized, scalable solutions for corporate clients nationwide.
Born and raised in Houston, Texas, Emily now divides her time between Long Island, New York, and Houston, spending most of the winter in her hometown. Outside of her work, she enjoys walking six miles a day, strength training, practicing yoga, exploring nature, cooking healthy recipes, and spending time with family and friends. Through Emily Chapman Wellness LLC, she is dedicated to creating lasting change for individuals and organizations, promoting vibrant health and vitality at every stage of life.
