Hello, I'm Emily Moran, a deeply devoted Mama and Wife, and your teacher here at Rest in your Wild.
I guide overwhelmed, tender-hearted women from emotional armour into sacred softness — where their nervous system settles, their heart opens, and their inner wisdom begins to lead.
I have completed and been initiated into many teachings, methods and practices since my educational pursuits began in 2009, and my work reflects in a small part the foundation of this knowledge, but in a much larger part it provides you with the wisdom of my lived experiences in applying it and embodying it as a student, guide and teacher myself.
My approach is gentle, intuitive, deeply feminine, bold and heart-centred. I focus on healing as a return to wholeness and not as an end result to be achieved. I teach soulful practices like journaling, ceremonies, daily rituals, guided meditations to help you hear God's guidance, prayer and other modalities that help you to discover the root cause of your healing in mind, body and soul.
I strongly believe in your ability to heal and overcome anything you feel is holding you back. My courses are not here to make it so that you are reliant on me for these things but instead they aim to have you tapping into your own ability to discern what is right for you, to have you confidently walking away with the knowing and remembering that God gave you everything you need in this lifetime.
My work easily speaks to women who have been people-pleasers, the black sheep of their family, scapegoats, over-givers, lovers of God and/or Christ, those navigating life's initiations like motherhood, and those who have sought validation and love from their external world for far too long.
My mission with Rest in your Wild is to continue courageously walking the path laid before me as a student and teacher one step at a time; gathering knowledge, wisdom and experiences, embodying and living these sacred teachings and sharing the fruits of my trials and efforts with you through this online school.
Some of my favourite things are being with my family, cooking plant foods, knitting and crocheting, hiking, a nice warm beverage in a handcrafted mug, finding snails under leaves and frogs in ponds, homebirthing babies and spending endless time with my wonderful husband and son.
Thank you for being here with me, your presence makes this online gathering truly charming and cherished for both myself and our ever-growing community of students worldwide.
I invite you to learn, heal, and awaken with me through my signature course and other available resources.
God loves you. God meets you in the wilderness. God invites you to rest.
Rest is one of God’s core invitations that we all seem to have forgotten over the years.
We tend to push, force, strive and all manner of doing in every moment of every day of our lives. From the time our feet are planted on the floor (sometimes even before that) to the moment we close our eyes to sleep at night we are going nonstop.
God desires rest for us, and not just in sleep at night but a deep, soulful rest in Him.
Matthew 11:28 reflects this perfectly:
“Come to me, all you who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
When we are carrying troubles, going through challenges and trying to figure out our lives we are not made to be doing it all alone. We are meant to give it all to God.
God knows the fabric of your heart and receives it with ease. You can rest.
It is in the wilderness where God meets his people; and it is also where God meets you.
The wild places of the world like deserts, mountains, forest and open fields… these are holy places. When you find yourself in the wilderness of your life you know you are in for a season of transformation, reflection and rebirth. For the wilderness is designed to test us, prepare us and grow us spiritually for what is to come.
I’ve been through many of my own desert seasons when I felt alone, waiting for something to happen, or constantly being served some humble pie and I’ve found a deeper relationship with God every time and certainly more fruits of the spirit.
What I offer here is born out of my own time in the wilderness and it is also designed to help you brave your own wilderness seasons so you can remember that the wild is actually where God is restoring you.
My overall brand message is this:
Rest in who God created you to be.
