Emily Bach is a Certified Nurse Practitioner and a Certified Health and Well-being coach who has dedicated her career to helping others achieve optimal health. Born and raised in Cincinnati, Emily developed a passion for health and fitness early on and has since become a fervent enthusiast committed to promoting wellness in her community. With nine years of experience in the hospital setting, Emily spent six years as a bedside nurse on both the medical stepdown and medical ICU units, where she honed her skills and developed a deep understanding of patient care.
