Emily Brower.....
Founder of birch & stone coaching collective
Creating a space where women stick together, grow together, and rise together.
I’m Emily Brower—a life coach, teacher, and founder of birch & stone. More than anything, I’ve always wanted to build a large, connected community of women showing up for themselves and for each other. That’s exactly what birch & stone is: a coaching collective rooted in compassion, growth, and grounded transformation.
In my work, I help clients integrate new practices that support lasting change—from the inside out. Whether you’re navigating weight health, time management, or the messy middle of everyday life, I’ll help you reconnect to your power, presence, and purpose.
Even as a young girl, I knew I wanted to help people. I just didn’t know how—or if I’d ever find the courage to use my voice. Coaching gave me that voice. And now, it’s my life’s work to help you find yours.
When we work together, we explore the stories—both conscious and unconscious—that shape how you think, feel, and act. These stories often stem from childhood experiences, family systems, or well-worn beliefs. Left unchecked, they can loop in our minds and keep us stuck. But here’s the truth: you can learn to think differently. You can create a new experience of your life. I’d love to show you how.

Tobey Mintz.....
A path back to rest, resilience, and reconnection.
Tobey Mintz brings a radically refreshing approach to meditation—one that welcomes all of you, exactly as you are.
Tobey has trained extensively with master teacher Lorin Roche, PhD, author of The Radiance Sutras. This instinctive meditation style is rooted in over four decades of research into what actually helps real people meditate—joyfully, consistently, and in a way that supports their real lives.
Whether you’re feeling burned out, overwhelmed, or just curious about a new way in, Tobey’s classes offer a gentle invitation back to yourself. You don’t need any previous experience. You don’t have to “quiet your mind.” You don’t need to be perfect. You just have to show up.
Instinctive Meditation works with your thoughts, emotions, and energy—not against them. In this space, you’ll learn to meditate in a way that feels natural, restorative, and even pleasurable. Because rest isn’t a reward—it’s a requirement. And reconnection starts right here.

“Change your thoughts, and you change your world.” – Norman Vincent Peale
Transformation begins on the inside. And we’re so excited to introduce someone who truly embodies that philosophy.
Please join us in welcoming our newest coach to the birch & stone coaching collective!
A dual-certified Health & Wellness and Life Coach, she brings both professional expertise and deep personal passion to this work. Her mission? To help you feel better in your body—not through restriction, deprivation, or punishing workouts—but through personalized support rooted in compassion, science, and real-life sustainability. No matter how much weight you want to lose or what wellness goals you carry, she’s here to walk alongside you with care, structure, and encouragement.
Her coaching blends practical tools in nutrition, movement, and mindset with a belief in the power of small, consistent steps. She specializes in supporting clients through lasting habit change, so you’re not just chasing results—you’re building a foundation you can live with (and love) for life.
When she’s not coaching, you’ll find her enjoying life in sunny South Florida with her husband, Neal.  A proud empty nester originally from Northern New Jersey, she’s also a Juilliard-trained musician and retired music teacher who deeply understands how rhythm, movement, and joy connect us to our bodies and to each other.
We can’t wait for you to experience the heart, knowledge, and energy she brings to the birch & stone community.
