Emily Potter, BS, FDNP
Hi, I’m Emily — a Grief Recovery Specialist, nutritionist, wellness guide, and heart-centered supporter for those navigating grief and loss.
The path that led me into the realm of healing is deeply personal. After a tragic airplane crash took the lives of my father, Bill, and both of my brothers, Ben and Andy, I began a journey that reshaped every part of me. For the past 18 years, I’ve been walking with grief — and learning how to live, love, and support others from that place of tenderness.
While my story is rooted in deep loss, I’ve come to see how grief shows up in so many forms — through divorce, job changes, broken dreams, health struggles, even watching our children grow and leave home. Grief lives in unmet expectations, in the quiet spaces where life turns out differently than we hoped. And yet, I believe that when we nourish the heart — both physically and emotionally — we create space for transformation, softness, and lightness to return.
My background is rooted in holistic nutrition, yoga, and functional wellness. I’ve come to believe that healing isn’t about “moving on,” but rather learning to tend the heart while still holding what we’ve lost. I live in Bozeman, MT with my beautiful family and look forward to connecting with those who are looking for support.

This program is for people who prefer to work one-on-one rather than in a group setting. The 7-session format utilizes the same proven materials as the group programs and can be completed in-person with a Grief Recovery Method Specialist specifically trained to help people move through loss with dignity and respect.
Our support groups offer a safe, evidence-based environment for grievers to take effective and lasting action, no matter the type of loss experienced. These groups are led by Grief Recovery Method Specialists, trained and certified by the Grief Recovery Institute.
