Hey, I’m Emily!

I accomplished everything I thought I should and I still wasn’t happy.

I was ticking all the boxes:

✅ Live in a beautiful location

✅ Have a loving partner

✅ Buy a house (condo… let’s be real, it’s Vancouver)

✅ Have a successful career

✅ Make 6 figures (or at least was well on my way)

On the outside, I had everything. But, on the inside, something was missing. I was on the hamster wheel, caught up in the burnout cycle of more, more, more. It wasn’t until I was crying every day, experiencing debilitating symptoms of stress and not taking care of myself that I realized something needed to change.

My hope is…

That other high achieving women, like you, won’t have to hit this kind of rock bottom before realizing you need to make a change. We often tolerate our lives. We are doing a disservice to ourselves and the world when we play small. You owe it to yourself to accept nothing less than what LIGHTS YOU UP – every. single. day.

Everything changed when I took responsibility for my happiness and realized that I didn’t have to go at it alone. My secret weapon is two-fold: Having 1000% belief in myself and COACHING. I believe investing in myself is not just a nice to have, it’s the game changer.

I don’t coach from the sidelines. I do the same work my clients do. I have invested in coaching for the last 4+ years and it makes me so proud to see where I am now (and where I’m going). Now, I get paid to do what I love, I have 100% control of my time, I work 20 hour work weeks, AND it finally feels the way I want it to feel - expansive, easeful, joyful and purposeful.

You are meant to shine brightly. You DESERVE a life that lights you up from the inside out everyday. I will settle for nothing less than the best for myself and I will settle for nothing less than the same for you.

The role of a coach is to hold a mirror up for you to see what’s there so you can step into who you are and what you are capable of.

I’m not your average coach.

I’m the kind of coach where we will laugh and cry together in the same breath. I love blending both the feminine and masculine, or said in another way, leaning into both the “doing” and the “being”. With the right structure that works for you, it acts like riverbeds to direct the flow of your energy into your most potent, creative potential.

You are not broken. You are naturally, creative, resourceful and whole. I come to coaching with this lens and that’s why I believe coaching isn’t about fixing something damaged inside of out, it’s about unleashing your greatest potential.

This is why I have made it my mission to help you do the most natural thing in the world… come back home to yourself. I empower you to empower yourself. I hold space for you to create change on a mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual level so that in time, you can do this inner work yourself.

I don’t give you a fish, I teach you to fish… but if the fish were thoughts and emotions.

And for those of you who want the formal stuff, here’s a quick list:

  • Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC), this is the gold standard in the coaching industry

  • 75+ happy clients

  • 1000+ coaching hours (1:1 and group)

  • 5 years corporate facilitation (within my multiple roles)

My Values

 

see + be the light

a way of being. a disposition. a faith that it will work out as it needs to. shine brightly. smile. laugh.

zest

seeing the excitement and enthusiasm in all that i am and do. life is too short to not be in love with life - every messy bit.

in the flow

surrender. accept. feel it all. welcome it all. choosing to be fully + completely immersed in the river.

climb + tumble

growth. curiosity. bumps. bruises. climbing the stairs, falling down, + choosing to climb them again. over + over.

Prairie Girl

I was born and raised in a small town in Manitoba surrounded by fields of wheat. I have brought my ‘prairie friendliness’ with me; believing that strangers are just friends I haven’t met yet. I love a good sidewalk smile + hello.
