Emil Nylander knows what it feels like to be stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. Having navigated anxiety, panic attacks, and depression, he didn't find freedom by fixing what was broken—he found it by no longer identifying with the stories keeping him there. That journey became his life's work.

Today, Emil is a coach, breathwork guide, and mindset practitioner helping people break free from conditioning, dissolve limiting beliefs, and step into lives that feel genuinely aligned. Through 1:1 coaching, group programs, breathwork journeys, retreats, and workshops, he guides people from fear and overthinking into clarity and inner freedom.

But his work was scattered. Course platforms, Squarespace, tool after tool—none of them felt scalable, and none matched the standard he held for his own work. Having spent years as a creative director and commercial filmmaker working with global brands, Emil wasn't willing to settle for platforms that looked or felt anything less than considered.

When he found Movement, everything clicked. A platform that was easy to use, beautiful by design, and flexible enough to hold everything he'd built—he had the first version of his Expand App up and running within a single weekend. Now, with 50+ guided sessions, courses, and over 146,000 plays averaging a 4.85 rating, his work reaches people across the globe—even without active marketing.

Can you tell us about our business and who you help?

I'm passionate about helping people reconnect with a deeper sense of peace, presence, and inner freedom — beyond overthinking, conditioning, fear, and limiting beliefs. Through mindset work, coaching, breathwork, and meditative practices, I support people in creating more space within themselves. From that space, clarity emerges — along with more authentic expression, grounded action, and a natural sense of direction.

Having experienced anxiety, panic attacks, and depression myself, I know that real freedom doesn't come from fixing ourselves, but from no longer identifying with the patterns and stories that keep us stuck. I offer 1:1 coaching, group programs, retreats, workshops, and a library of guided sessions through my app.

What problem were you facing before using Movement?

I had the challenge of having one, single place where I could gather my body of work. Previously I had tried different course platforms, Squarespace etc, but none of them felt scalable and aligned with what I wanted to create and offer.

What made you choose Movement over other platforms? Did you try any others?

I loved the way Movement offers very clean designs and templates. Having previously worked as a creative director, photographer and filmmaker, I am very sensitive when it comes to how things look. Also, I am impressed by how easy Movement is to use — I literally set up the first version of my app during a weekend.

How has Movement helped you grow, simplify, or scale?

First and foremost, the app offers me a great platform for exposure and credibility for new leads and potential clients. It's so valuable to be able to collect my library of guided sessions and courses in one, single place rather than publishing them on other apps and platforms.

As I'm writing this, I have yet to actively push the app through marketing or ads, but I still get new signups from across the globe on a regular basis which is awesome to see. I've seen my leads number go up extensively since the launch.

What features or aspects of Movement have been most useful for your work?

The fact that it's very easy and scalable. I am finding new features regularly and that helps me being more creative with what I am offering inside the app. I love the designs—especially the course templates. The whole app looks and feels very professional.

What would you tell another coach or creator considering Movement?

I highly recommend Movement for any creator that is looking for a scalable, easy-to-work with, visually good looking and customizable platform to offer their services and products.

Emil built the first version of the Expand app in a single weekend. Not because it was rushed, but because Movement made it that straightforward. For a creator with his eye for design and his standard for quality, finding a platform that delivered both without a steep learning curve was the turning point his business needed.

Since launching, Expand has been quietly growing on its own! Attracting signups from across the globe without a single ad spend. Emil's library of guided sessions, courses, and coaching offerings now lives all in one place, professional and polished, exactly as he envisioned it.

For a coach whose entire practice is about creating space, it matters that the platform creates space too: Room to grow, room to add, room to evolve. Movement has given Emil exactly that, and he's only just getting started.
