About us

Emily Wilkins, Founder & Wellness Coach

Welcome, my name is Emily Wilkins. I am the founder and health and wellness coach at Shades of Wellness (SoW). A platform for women of color to connect and adopt healthier lifestyles. I am also a wife and a mother to an amazing little boy.

After being diagnosed with two life-changing autoimmune diseases at an early age, I then experienced the discrimination that many African-Americans and minority women face within the healthcare system. I was inspired by my passion for healthcare, improving the disparities in women of color in it, and making a positive impact in my community to establish this health and wellness platform.

My educational background includes over 10 years of experience in the healthcare field. I earned my degree in Health Systems Management, as well as a graduate certification in Integrative Health and Wellness.

I specialize in the following:

Health goal mapping and development

Increasing energy and motivation

Weight loss

Stress management

Healthy eating and more

My goal as your health coach is to put you in charge of creating a healthier lifestyle by providing you with the necessary tools, methods, resources, and supportive relationship that ensures your success.

Authenticity, but at what cost?

Is it me or did this year feel like we stumbled into it? You didn’t collect $200.00, you didn’t pass go you simply were like “oh, here we are – I guess we are doing this? Cool” and somehow 22’is now the date we see when we look at the time on our phones or Apple watches, and laptops. Listen that is my exact sentiment.
