Client Testimonials
My time with Emma is truly invaluable. I began working with her because I felt like I was at an impasse in a lot of points of life, particularly career and "what I want to be when I grow up" but didn't know how to unpack it or take steps forward - I felt stalled and stuck for far too long.
Emma helped me dig deep into who my true, authentic self is and how to live more fully in that space while breaking long-standing habits and patterns that no longer served me. Through our work and the many tools Emma gave me, I was able to uncover a path towards living and working in a more authentic way, shedding the "shoulds" and cultural norms that had been weighing me down for far too long. This translated beyond just professional and into personal, relationships, passions, and so much more.
I was able to unblock a lot of fear of personal and external (assumed) judgment and build out a tangible plan to empower me on the next steps of my professional journey. I now find moments that are more and more frequent where I see myself breaking an old pattern and feeling the true joy, the alignment, the fulfillment of deep seeded (often unrecognized, unacknowledged) needs and it charges me with a whole new kind of energy and optimism.
I went into coaching hoping to get more clarity on what I wanted to do next and how to grow professionally, and I got so much of that PLUS figuring out some truths about myself personally and how to heal old wounds. If you are considering coaching and are ready to really peel back your own layers, do the work to find your most authentic self and life, and break down barriers that have been holding you back in any area of your life, work with Emma immediately - it will be more than worth your time.

It was serendipitous when I found a recommendation for Emma in my inbox. I clicked on her website, read her “About” section, and I was hooked. It felt like she was taking the words right out of my brain. For months, I had been struggling with acute anxiety, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome. I was planning a wedding, making a career shift, and had been on a hamster wheel of external validation and achievements for years.
For months, I woke up every morning stressed and already behind for the day ahead. I struggled to set any boundaries because I was so focused on achieving the next milestone. At the end of the day or week, I would come home exhausted, still stressed, and on edge. When this burnout began impacting my personal relationships, I knew that I needed to make a shift.
I had been in therapy for years but had failed to get to the root cause of these patterns. I had started to accept them as a core identity. But when I saw Emma’s website, I knew that I had to give coaching a shot.
From the very first session I had with Emma, I felt understood, validated, and safe. We dove into what core beliefs were limiting the way I was moving through my world. Emma guided me through mindful exercises that tapped into my inner child, which allowed me to connect with myself and heal the pieces of me that had gone ignored for the last 20 years. Through six months of sessions, I have been able to reset my nervous system and feel so much more joy, relaxation, and presence in my life. I feel open and easeful in a way that I could have never imagined. From this newfound place of regulation, I know that I will be able to achieve my goals and dreams in a more sustainable, balanced, and intentional manner.
If you are struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, or imposter syndrome, take this as your sign to work with Emma. She has transformed my relationship with myself, and I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to do this life-changing work with her.

Emma has an unmatched ability in disarming others, making you feel safe to tell her the truth. Telling Emma the truth has surprisingly made me honest with MYSELF.
Emma’s unflinching empathy and support created a space where it was safe to express anger, to let my suppressed tears fall all the way down my neck. In allowing myself to feel the full spectrum of my emotions and to have Emma witnessing and validating it all — I found myself again. Suddenly I noticed that I had stopped second-guessing those butterflies in my stomach that mean yes, or that clench in my throat that means no — and instead I was listening to my body in a compassionate way, with a voice that lovingly said “tell me everything.”
The impulsive negative self talk is something of the past. The shame, the guilt in just existing has been replaced with self honoring, love and confidence. I’m spending more time doing things that make me feel alive, and less time living for for an imaginary, unattainable bar that held me back from truly living.
There will always be before and after Emma. When we met I was a pressure cooker, containing myself into the tiniest box full of expectations I didn’t choose. Emma gave me the courage to finally release that valve and in a short period of time, I’ve watched myself explode into the powerful, embodied woman I was always meant to be.

I came to Emma with an extremely fraught nervous system after years of burnout and a high pressure career in the advertising world. I also had a lot of childhood trauma which I had ‘talked through’ but hadn’t fully healed and released from my body, which was showing up as intense anxiety in my day to day life.
In our sessions Emma guided me through completing trauma loops that were keeping me in struggle and releasing from my body some of my toughest childhood experiences. Following our sessions I was able to experience whole new levels of joy and lightness - really such powerful work. I have also been able to deeply understand the roots of my fear and anxiety and create new and much more empowering relationships with these aspects.
Emma is such a safe, loving space and a deeply skillful coach which was so important for me to be able to really go deep and do the healing work that I so needed.
If you get the chance to work with Emma, do it. Do it for yourself, your younger self and the parts of you that are craving to be seen, loved and healed so that you can start living with less struggle and allow yourself to truly experience a deep sense of well-being, wholeness and happiness. I am so pleased that I have had the opportunity to do this truly life changing work with her.

I came to Emma in a state of fraught energy, spiralling anxiety, suppressed/unresolved grief, and a lack of self-compassion and self-awareness as to how I was managing things post a breakup, all whist starting a business. Needless to say, everything in my life felt pretty chaotic! But right from the start, an hour's session with Emma was a source of calming relief and hopeful reassurance.
After years of impassive, traditional talk therapy, working with Emma was so refreshingly practical and actually helpful to my everyday life and behaviors.
Having never experience coaching before, I was apprehensive about some areas and didn't know what to expect, but Emma was brilliant at guiding me through concepts and exercises, always with zero judgment and often showing me herself or sharing her own stories to help me feel supported, safe, and understood. We laughed and cried in sessions, but I always left feeling lighter and more in control.
After six months of working with Emma I have such a better understanding of myself and my typical cycles of behavior and all the tools in place to work constructively and self-compassionately to bring about change. Emma is SO WISE and always found a way of putting things that just made so much sense to me. I am so grateful for her support and have learned so much from her which I will retain for the rest of my life. I couldn't recommend working with her more.
- Rosie,
When I first met with Emma, I had reached a point in my life where I was feeling "broken" in some ways and I felt as though I had no control over my emotions. I was feeling extremely anxious and overwhelmed by any challenge life would throw at me and it was affecting my relationships, productivity and happiness. I've always been someone that has found it hard to ask for help but I am so glad that I have been doing the work with Emma!
Emma is a super insightful, supportive and empathetic person. You can really tell that she is truly passionate about helping people change their lives for the better. She is someone that I have felt very comfortable being vulnerable with, and in doing so, has helped me understand so much more about myself, my defense mechanisms and my triggers.
I am still a work in progress but I now have far more clarity into what I am thinking and more importantly, I have the tools to help regulate my mind and body in order to respond to the demands of life without being thrown too far off balance. I can now navigate situations (that would previously have troubled me) with so much more ease.
I have learned so much from working with Emma. She she has been instrumental in helping me identify my needs, become a more effective communicator, and live a more fulfilling life!
