Hi! I'm Emilie
Hi! I'm Emilie
I'm a Canadian expat and digital nomad currently based in Porto, Portugal. I partner with founders and early-stage startups in the mindfulness, wellbeing, and holistic health sectors to rapidly develop ideas, build cohesive visual identities, and design intuitive user experiences using agile and design thinking methodologies.
I’m also a run coach, yoga instructor, and mindfulness events facilitator creating communal spaces for digital nomads and expats to connect IRL.
Join an Upcoming Event
Want to join a social run, a mindful movement class or a social dinner to meet other expats in Porto?
Our intention is to bring friends and like-minded people to gather around the dinner table to instruct them on how to make something delicious to eat. Based on our three pillars: ritual, presence and integration; our hope is to empower our guests to feel empowered, connected in community and confident to cook your favorite meals at home.
Join us every Wednesday for a weekly social run at an easy pace followed by mindful movement (i.e. yoga, stretching, meditation, HIIT, & functional training), using body weight to improve range of motion and enable you to feel focused and grounded, ready to decompress from the day! With great music, high energy workouts and an inclusive community, Run-N-Rave is on a mission to connect expats, digital nomads and creatives working in tech to balance their mental and physical wellbeing in the city.
Join Colette & Emilie for a special, curated Lunar New Year Dinner with Chinese food to celebrate the 2026 Horse Year. An opportunity to bring the expat community together in Porto to bond over delicious food, storytelling, games and learning more about Chinese heritage and culture.
