Stop Struggling with Fibromyalgia: Reclaim Your Life from Chronic Pain.I’m Shari Emami, an award winning author, coach, educator and guest speaker.

I can help you move beyond the symptoms and find your path to recovery.

The pain was severe enough that I couldn't get out of bed, and my doctors offered medication with no real answers. Today, I've been symptom-free since 2016.That recovery is what led me to become a board-certified Holistic Health Practitioner, author of Breaking Free From Pain, and an advocate for people navigating fibromyalgia and chronic pain. Along the way, I've pursued years of formal training — starting with hands-on pain rehabilitation work in 2013 and continuing through coursework at institutions including Harvard, Stanford, and Johns Hopkins-affiliated programs — because I wanted what I teach to hold up to real scrutiny, not just my own experience.I'm not a licensed medical doctor. Everything I share is grounded in my own recovery and in the training below, and I always encourage readers to work with their own healthcare providers.Core Credentials:Board-Certified Holistic Health Practitioner (HHP) — American Association of Drugless Practitioners
