From the time I first met Emily, I found myself drawn to her positive attitude and energy. Her passion and love of life combined with compassion and care for others were palpable. She is honest, open and genuine. She is also very accomplished, intelligent and wise. As a coach, Emily has this wonderful ability to create a safe space for me to explore and reflect on how to work through challenges or problems I wish to tackle. She is able to listen beyond the words and ask probing questions that help bring new awareness and allow me to shift perspective and move forward. Emily also has a knack for synthesizing the multiple threads I bring forward and reflect those back to me to help me clarify my thoughts. Emily lives by the values she holds and so offers a great model for others. An added bonus to working with Emily is that she is also great at providing resources ranging from books to TED talks, among others, that are on topic and help support my growth and interests. The depth of my appreciation for her gift of coaching is hard for me to capture in words, so I would simply say this; Emily will continue to be the person I turn to for support.

I love working with Emily! She has an ability to make me feel comfortable dealing with uncomfortable topics outside of my comfort zone. Truly established trust and rapport easily, early, and throughout our coaching work together. She is an authentic person, a truly present coach, and I felt like she was always there for me. She has the unique ability to bring energy and flow to the conversation with vibrant enthusiasm, yet show the patience to shift into deep listening that allowed me to share my thoughts fully. She seems to make the crucial observation to elicit a key insight, and asks the types of questions that provoked me to think deeply. I would work with Emily again, anytime.

Emily is extremely insightful and inspiring as a coach. She has the ability to drill down to the heart of issues and has empowered me to challenge life long obstacles that have been holding me back from leading a more powerful and positive life. I am grateful to have had Emily by my side as a coach, sharing and celebrating all of these exciting changes and achievements and I now believe in myself in a way that I never thought possible. I can’t say enough about Emily’s ability to make a difference in other people’s lives. I would highly recommend her to anyone willing to invest more fully in their life and unleash their inner potential.

Emily is a highly skilled coach with a coaching style that combines deep intuition with conversational lightness. She is quickly able to establish rapport and keep the conversation in a flow state. This allows her to connect my thoughts, words, and ideas for powerful insights. I experienced numerous ‘a-has’ and new awareness as her client. What I enjoyed most was the true delight Emily brings to the coaching engagement - she brings her full self to the relationship. As a coach myself, I appreciated this the most. I highly recommend Emily as your thought-partner and coach and am eager to be a reference for anyone seeking to hire her.

I have recently had the opportunity to work with Emily as my coach and I would recommend her to anyone seeking a higher level of self-awareness, an intentional focus on personal growth, and an action-oriented mentality to achieve your goals. Emily is insightful, caring, attentive, challenging, curious and intently focused on me as a client. She is a good listener and gives me a safe place to develop my thoughts and refine my plans of action. Emily is dedicated to supporting me fully in achieving my goals and she has been a good sounding board and partner in our work together. I highly recommend Emily as a coach.

Fate stepped in when I was introduced to “Em” through the International Coaching Federation. Some things are just meant to be. I have never met her in person, although one day I just know we will. Immediately, her compassion, warmth and joy for life were evident. Her coaching wraps you in a cocoon of safety and trust, allowing the process to go deeper. Most of us need clarity, support and a sort of “cheerleader” to assist us in reaching our goals and dreams. Do not hesitate to take your journey with “Em.”

Emily is a wonderful coach - it seems she was specially made just for me - she understands bright, fast, creative thinkers with seriously sensitive souls, which helps so much as I take on new challenges in my life, because she truly, truly “gets” me and can be tough when I need a kick in the butt to take a risk, but she’s got SUCH a big heart, that when I need that inevitable support when I make a mistake or feel scared about moving forward, I always leave our calls feeling stronger, more capable, and more loved than I had when I got on the phone with her. Emily ROCKS!

Emily and I met as students of the Advanced Corporate Coaching Program at Coach U. Her thoughtfulness, positive energy, and creative insights immediately struck me - she sees meaning in everything around her and knows how to connect with others in a way that is truly special. I’ve found her advice, support and coaching to be invaluable to me as I have built my business, and I wholeheartedly recommend her services.

I have had the pleasure of working with Emily on a number of occasions as a coaching client. Her ability to truly listen without interrupting or jumping into preconceived assumptions or conclusions is very humbling. Her advice is always well-informed, timely, and respectful of the client’s boundaries yet practical and action-oriented. Emily’s extensive experience working in the corporate world, coupled with her passion for continuous learning and zest for life, along with her compassionate nature, make her an extraordinary coach. I recommend Emily without hesitation to anyone who is in need of a quick tune-up session or looking to make a big shift in their life path.

I was lucky to ‘win’ Em as my coach in a peer coaching round. As a coach myself, it was fabulous to experience her style. She was soft, safe and supportive - established trust immediately. All that heart was accompanied by just the right amount of backbone. Her powerful questions often created awareness, opening and ah-ha’s. Her presence was a present! She was with me 100%. I recommend Em as a coach without reservation!

I partnered with Emily as a coach in very active stage of my life: when I wanted to change my situation for better and had to make big decisions so I could move forward with confidence. During our sessions I felt that Emily listened deeply and truly connected with what mattered for me most. She was able to guide me to my own sense of direction even when I was feeling unfocused and scattered. With her presence I was able to look deep into the core of the issue and had important insights. After working with Emily I feel that I have so much more clarity on things that are important to me.

Emily is a warm and caring coach who is easy to talk to. She is good at reflecting back feelings and helping to clarify the feelings. She is a pleasure to talk to, warm, caring and considerate. I managed to grow a lot in the time she coached me and took risks I would have shied away from before. I feel like I am becoming more the person I was meant to be due to her excellent coaching. I highly recommend her.

Emily has helped me examine the areas of my life where I feel stuck. She listens attentively and assists me in finding ways to take steps forward. Without Emily’s patience and genuine interest in helping me improve my life I would not have started making changes.
