WHAT YOU’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR.

Want to learn how to start your own remote holistic practice?

So you can quit your hospital job for good?

Work less and make more

Work from anywhere

Make a difference without sacrificing your beliefs??

Integrative Metabolic Wellness™ Academy is a certification program that includes the education and credentials you need to start your own practice and order functional labs for your clients independently, along with the exact blueprint practitioners are using to grow and scale their practices with successfully and sustainably.

You got into nursing to help people... but the longer you're in the field, the more frustrated discouraged, and burnt out you feel.

You've realized that you're not changing lives like you thought you would... you're a glorified pill-pusher in a failing sickcare system.

You want to make a real difference in lives, but you're tired of sacrificing your own wellbeing in the process.

You've been dreaming of a way out... a way to leave the hospital for good.

You've thought about trying something new, but you're not sure where to start...

You don't want to leave behind all of your knowledge and experience, but you also can't keep working in a system you no longer align with.

You want to do something that actually makes an impact...

More than just improving a hospital stay, more than giving patients bandaid solutions, you want to help people see radical change in their health.

Something that also allows you to make your own hours and work remotely.

A career in which you operate with autonomy, while being able to prioritize what's most important to you: your family, your time, your freedom.

What if I told you that I have the answer?

A CAREER IN HOLISTIC WELLNESS

if you're thinking this sounds too good to be true...

HERE’S A QUICK RECAP OF MY OWN JOURNEY 👇🏼

Hi, I’m Emmalee, founder of Integrative Metabolic Wellness®.

When the "pandemic" began in 2020, I was already deep into holistic wellness from trying to (and successfully) healing my own chronic illness.


When 2020 happened, my eyes were even more opened to the chaos and corruption of the sickcare system I was working in.


When I fully realized the failures of the modern "healthcare" system, I could no longer stand the thought of leaving family every day to push pills and give patients bandaid solutions.

five years ago I was working as an RN when
the “pandemic” began:

my husband was driving my son to me on the days that l worked because he wouldn't take a bottle or eat when I wasn't around.

many days I cried...I knew this was the “norm” - leaving your babies for your job - but I just couldn’t take it.

Fast forward to 2024, and I've built a six figure remote business as a holistic practitioner.

I moved my family to the beach, a longterm dream of ours that never felt possible before, with the business I built.

I see my kids every single day. We have slow mornings together, I'm here for every bedtime, and nearly everything in between. I even retired my husband, so he's home with us full time now too.

I get to change lives (real, lasting change, not bandaid solutions), without sacrificing my own health or my time with my family in the process.

We bought a beach house and spend most of our time getting in our vitamin sea

I work when I want, how want, from wherever I want, allowing us to travel more than ever

I spend more time with
my kids then I ever could have before - no more leaving them for long hours or missing milestones

This program teaches you exactly how I more than replaced my nursing job on my own time and schedule.

It’s more than just holistic training and functional lab analysis (though these are huge components) — it’s about the business and growth strategies that actually work.

And if I can do it, you can absolutely do it too.

I know you might have doubts like...

  • What if I don't know enough (or anything) about holistic wellness?

  • How do I learn all that I need to know to actually make a difference?

  • How would I find clients?

  • Would anyone even want to work with me?

  • How would I market myself?

  • Why would anyone listen to me when there are other experts out there?

  • How could I actually help clients?

  • What about all the tech stuff? Setting up my social media, my website, creating graphics and visuals?

  • Is it possible to generate passive income this way too?

  • How do I keep track of records and protect myself legally?

And most importantly... how do I make enough money to quit my nursing job for good?!?!


This is where Integrative Metabolic Wellness®Academy comes in 👇🏼

a certification program created for nurses, by a nurse, providing you with the education, training, and credentials you need to transition from western medicine to a thriving, fulfilling, flexible career in holistic wellness

Thriving on Social Media

How to create content that converts, utilize automation, create lead magnets, use email marketing effectively, and do it all in the most streamlined way!


How do I know it's really possible?

BECAUSE I DID IT.

Just a few years ago, I was still working full time as a nurse. I was waking up at 4:30am 3-4 days a week, on my feet for 14 hours a day, charging, running codes, stressed to the max. I was crying on my way to work most days, I usually skipped lunch with no time to even go to the bathroom.


Now I work half the amount of hours (and I work from home or my favorite coffee shop or the beach or my cozy beach house), I make double amount of money, I'm around my kids every day, I can take days off without getting approval just because I feel like it. I have time to pursue things of interest outside of work, and focus on building a life I love.

And IMW® graduates are now doing it too ⬇

I'm an RN and the creator of Integrative Metabolic Wellness® Academy.

Hi, I'm Emmalee!

Not too long ago, I was a burnt out nurse working in a system I no longer aligned with, looking for a way out.

Now I'm a remote holistic practitioner, I work for myself, I make my own hours, and I get to watch my clients experience radical change in their health, in their lives.

Since starting my practice I’ve paid off debt, bought a home just blocks from our favorite beach, retired my husband, & traveled more than even before since our schedules are totally our own.
