Emily Schach
Co-Founder, nourishED
Emily Schach is a wellness entrepreneur and mother of two with nearly two decades of experience in leadership and building health-focused businesses.
Her career began at lululemon, where she spent more than a decade in leadership and experienced firsthand the role that movement, community and everyday habits can play in wellbeing. She later co-founded Glory Juice Co., helping build one of Vancouver’s early businesses centred around whole-food nutrition and accessible healthy choices.
As a mother, and with a lifelong background in sport, Emily became increasingly passionate about giving young people the practical health knowledge she believes should be learned early in life.
She co-founded nourishED to bring that vision into schools, creating hands-on experiences that make wellbeing understandable, relevant and actionable for students, educators and families.
