Emmy Vadnais

Emmy Vadnais brings occupational therapy, health coaching, teaching, and holistic practice to Intuitive Development. The book explains intuition as an inner source of guidance that readers can examine through practical activities rather than treating it only as an unexplained feeling. Vadnais connects that attention to decisions involving relationships, self-care, family, health, work, play, abundance, and spirituality. Her professional background is central to the method: she has worked in occupational therapy since the 1990s and founded the Holistic OT Community for practitioners interested in integrative health, wellness, and prevention. The book pairs reflective exercises with references to research, aiming to reduce stress and help readers notice how bodily and emotional signals affect choices. Vadnais also teaches continuing education for health professionals. Intuitive Development therefore sits between personal-growth writing and her broader educational work, translating ideas from holistic occupational therapy into exercises intended for general readers.
