Hi, I'm Emily Beatrix.

Press bio

Emily Beatrix is a writer of memoir, essays, poetry and fiction. She is the author of the 2022 self-published memoir, Can You Turn The Lights Off? And the self-help tome Love before Fear (Balboa Press, 2014.) Her upcoming poetry collection, You Make Me Cry Like A Sunset is up next for publication and she is currently writing her debut fiction novel.

Emily is an internationally known professional intuitive who has read tarot and oracle for people in 5 continents and many countries since 2014. You can read client praise here.

Additionally, Emily has worked online and in person with clients from all over the world teaching and coaching on nervous system health for a decade. In her work, she teaches a multidisciplinary holistic approach to overcome developmental trauma and to make a great life for yourself as a neurodivergent highly sensitive person. Alongside thousands of hours of 1:1 experience with coaching clients, she has built the curriculum of signature group coaching programs that count 118 graduates, and more than 325 people have taken one-off classes with her so far. 

She was the host of the podcast Connected with Emily Beatrix that aired from 2018 to 2020 on apple podcasts and the writer of The Beatrix Newsletter from March 2021 to July 2023, which featured relevant life musings on topics such as nervous system health, attachment and relationships, art and creativity, spirituality, entrepreneurship, developmental trauma resolution, and sobriety on both her site and on substack. She wrote The Soft Heart Newsletter for one year from November 2023 on also on substack, which documented and educated about the highly sensitive autistic life and featured stories inspired by tarot and oracle cards. She loves all her creative projects throughout the years, and right now (in 2025), she writes a site based newsletter right here on emilybeatrix.com that comes out seasonally. This newsletter lets you know of her business offerings of the moment and interesting new things about nervous system health, developmental trauma recovery and neurodivergent joy; you can sign up for it on the homepage of the site.

Emily's work has been featured in media outlets such as the Toronto Star, The Globe and Mail, CTV, Bell Let's Talk, MindBodyGreen among many other podcasts and journalistic publications.

Personally, she loves to read, cook, go on walks and hikes, swim, bike, hang out with her best friend (her mom), go to the farmer’s market and watch the sunset.

Get to know me like we’re having a cup of tea.

My pronouns are: She/Her.

I stand at: the middle of 5”8 and 5”9

As a human, my favourite qualities about myself are: My sensitivity, my willingness to be creative, and my sense of humour.

Birth chart deets: I was born under the 1995 Capricorn full moon as a Gemini sun and Scorpio rising in Canada.

I’m an: enneagram six, ENFJ and a manifesting generator with a 6/2 profile if you’re into that sort of thing.

I am most proud of: My sobriety.

I am most obsessed with: Self-acceptance, curiosity, vulnerability, breaking traditions and creating a new way. 

I really care about:

• Making art/ People making their art

• Creating communities of those who believe that there is peace always available and that we are deserving of it, no matter what we’ve been through. 

• Living in congruence to your “mission” “purpose” – whatever lights you up

• People with huge hearts that don’t want to poison themselves because of the pain that they’ve lived, and who want to remember their magnificence and feel secure in the world and with themselves after abuse

• Authenticity

• Celebrating neuro diversity and differences

• Generosity

• Attentiveness and thoughtfulness

• Going at our pace and following our consent, and being embodied as a result

• Imperfection

• Nature

• Love

• Depth

• Spiritual practice and living that includes ritual
  

My professional background includes:

Creating and running a non for profit that was called Anxiety Free Community from 2014-2016. Going on a speaking tour as a mental and physical health stigma reduction activist during those years as well (ableism doesn’t stand a chance when I’m around.) Helping clients as a coach and educator of nervous system health through individual and group coaching for a decade. Being a professional intuitive since 2014 and working with a wide range of clients internationally from North America, Europe, Australia, Asia and Africa. Writing books. Love before Fear was my first one (it’s a self help tome about being deserving of an excellent life despite disability/ chronic illness limitations.) And my second one, a memoir about the journey to becoming your true self, Can You Turn The Lights Off? has just been written and is available for purchase. Also, Justin Bieber followed me on Twitter once.

Check out my business CV to see what I’ve created and what I’ve been up to these last few years.

What’s next:

My poetry collection You Make Me Cry Like A Sunset is next for publication, and I am currently writing my debut fiction novel that follows the protagonist, Dorothy Wilde, through falling for, and then rebuilding her self after an abusive relationship.

My why

At the core of it, I help people with self-discovery and self-acceptance. I have many whys that follow a common thread: joy.

I am a 2e adult. Because I know the pain of not feeling like you’ll be able to thrive in a world that wasn’t made for you as a highly sensitive, I have a passion for helping others go from just surviving the day, to fully thriving by designing a life for you, instead of trying to be the only square peg who fits in a round hole. I have helped many people become who they truly are, rise from the ashes of developmental trauma and find freedom through my intuitive and coaching work, and continue to do so every day through making my books, like Can You Turn The Lights Off?: The Journey To Becoming Your True Self available to read.

My overall why is simple: I want us and the world to be more well. I believe in good days just around the corner. I have not given up on joy.
