Hi, I’m Emily
Certified Life Coach and navigating human.
I’m on a mission to create a safe and fun space where you can discover and expand into living your most authentic life. My goal is to make the hard (self) work of personal growth feel fun, approachable, and totally doable, so you can show up as the real, expanded you—no matter where you’re starting from.
I’ve spent years learning to trust myself, build confidence, and embrace self-love. I know how tough it can be to confront your fears, break free from limiting beliefs, build a new and empowering relationship with your inner critic and start making real changes in your life (and I still have a lot more work to do). But I also know how incredibly empowering it is when you align with your true self. I’m here to support you through it all—whether you're just starting or already on your way to big changes.
Get to know me!

I believe that everyone is full of pure, light energy – this energy shines through when we live as the most authentic version of ourselves.
However, this light gets blocked by many factors and experiences in our lives, which can lead to us living in ways that are not in alignment with who we truly are and how we want to show up in life: living on autopilot, feeling lost, or stuck, or burnt out, or heavy or not in control. We may not even be aware that we are blocked, we just know that something is off.
In order to change (or navigate towards alignment), we must first become aware of what is blocking us. However, this can be hard work. It takes effort, honestly, vulnerability, accountability and putting our pride aside. It means addressing our insecurities and facing our fears. I know intimately that this is not an easy thing to do.
However, having this awareness allows us to understand exactly how being blocked is impacting us, our people and our lives.
Together, we can work towards clearing these blocks and taking action towards a life that feels authentic to you.
I truly believe that anyone, at anytime can make the changes required to live authentically. But you will have to do the work. You will have to fully show up, be brave, take accountability, and you will have to want to navigate towards living authentically.
As a coach, I want to be your partner in navigating this journey, because I know that it can be very hard, scary and overwhelming.
However, I think it is so impactful to gain this awareness and to start living authentically. I want you to be the more peaceful, playful, beautiful and powerful version of yourself!

It’s my mission to make space for anyone who wants to start navigating this journey towards living authentically.
I think it is everyone's responsibility to learn about themselves. However, I want to be a space and support that normalizes the scrappy journey, and makes it as fun and light as possible. After all, we are all humans navigating life for the first time.
I am dedicated to creating a space that is safe, empathetic, fun and empowering for you to explore who you really are!

I believe that you are the expert in your own life and know yourself best. My approach is focused on being your partner in supporting you to connect with and empower your inner wisdom. I do this by making space for you in the form of 1:1 sessions, group workshops or resources to provide you with the unique tools, questions to dive deeper, support and accountability to allow yourself to see what is truly possible for you, so that you can live authentically and intentionally.

This is a bit of a long one...
I have always been creative, curious and empathetic. For as long as I can remember there was a deep push to become the most confident and authentic version of myself.
Given my love for creativity, I knew I wanted to be in a creative industry - so I spent many years in corporate and start up marketing and design roles. I loved them and learned a lot. However, I always knew something was missing.
That something clicked for me when I randomly ended up working with a fabulous life coach myself. I couldn't believe just how impactful our time together was.
I immediately knew coaching was for me. Not only did the work and lessons of coaching feel like something everyone should know, it also felt like the perfect combination for my superpowers, skills, passions and life's mission to all come together.
So we are are: a life coach on a mission to empower you to live authentically by making the hard, overwhelming and scary work more approachable, digestible and ultimately, more fun.
Let's navigate, baby!

You can find me hanging with my little family - my partner and my rescue dog, Addy. Or my amazing friends and family.
I love starting my day with my journal and coffee - a peaceful morning sets the tone for my day. Anyone who knows me would agree that I spend a lot of time in my journal (I have so many thoughts, feelings and ideas - I get easily inspired).
I love to create, cook, and stay active (you can probably find me skiing at Kicking Horse Mountain) and spend as much time in nature as possible!
I am horrible at spelling and I am stilling working on being present in the moment!
