Emily Perrin

Emily Perrin has lived and breathed competitive sport since she was born. Her dad was an assistant basketball coach and Sport Psychologist, so she was born into it and decided to follow in his footsteps. She played DI soccer at UVA, followed by 3 years of coaching collegiately at the University of Pennsylvania. 

In her role as a coach, she realized that her Ivy League athletes had one thing in common; they struggled to navigate the physical, mental, and emotional demands of competitive sport. She could relate to this because as a DI athlete, she felt she was constantly behind in life and suffered from chronic anxiety and serious panic attacks that required hospitalization. 

However, she took control of her healing and decided to turn to mindfulness, meditation, breathwork, and yoga. These four practices, combined with therapy provided her with the core skills she needed to be able to cope with her own anxiety and panic. Through her own healing journey she had an epiphany. She wanted to use what she had learned to inspire and help others. 

Emily has created a business around helping others learn these exact tools and skills in order to navigate life more efficiently. She became a Certified Mindfulness Meditation Teacher, Breath Work Coach, and a Registered 200 Hour Yoga Teacher. Her company, Perrin Wellness and Performance educates and empowers athletes to take control of their minds, body, and emotions.
