Emily Bouchard, MSSW, CMC, CAP, brings over 20 years of experience as a family dynamics coach, consultant, speaker, and author specializing in communication, trust, and healthy relationships. She serves as a fractional Chief Learning Officer to family offices, hosts the “Wealth Coherence” podcast, and delivered the TEDx Talk “How to Talk about Inheritance (without Talking about Money).”
As a former licensed marital and family therapist with senior roles at major banks, Emily bridges family dynamics with financial decisions. She specializes in complex family decision-making, multi-generational meetings, rising generation education, and family business succession.
Emily champions the operationalization of trust through an innovative approach to family governance combining gamified education with technological infrastructure. She supports families to build quantitative and qualitative competencies while sharing opinions openly and, when needed, anonymously.
Emily holds a B.A. with honors from the University of Pennsylvania and an M.S. in Social Work from UT Arlington. She’s co-authored Estate Planning for the Blended Family and Beginner’s Guide to Purposeful Prenups, with her third book, The Little Book of Trust and Money: An Essential Primer for Families (with Charles Feltman), releasing November 2026.
From her 10-acre Northern California home, Emily hosts equine-assisted retreats for families, couples and individuals. These retreats offer a unique environment to step away from boardrooms and office settings to access deeper ways of knowing through the body and through nature.
