She understand what makes people tick, and can see/hear things in what I share that others (including myself) never picked up on. Emily made me feel seen in a way that I didn't expect and was pleasantly surprised by. It is hard to leave a session with Emily without a smile on your face and a lot to ponder as you go about your day to day, all while building your ideal future.

I don’t think I would have imagined myself to be here if I hadn’t had somebody who has moved through it all with me. Emily saw a bigger picture than what I could see sometimes and helped me find my footing in those spaces. She has helped me find what energies feel right and lean into that as a tool in keeping me on that path where I feel like my truest self.

Emily is an inspiring coach. Through our sessions together I have gained a clearer idea of what I want for my life and how I can achieve my goals. Thanks to her, I have a new sense of confidence and purpose. Emily fostered a safe and supportive environment that allowed me to speak openly and trust in the process. I’ve discovered what I am capable of and cannot thank Emily enough for that and so much more.

Emily is so full of life, positivity and zest. She always brings so much energy, presence and empathy. It was so nice to have someone who really got me and where I was coming from. My favourite part of coaching was identifying the THING that was most holding me back to bring to each coaching session. I’m now more in tune with myself, understand why things are better or worse, and have a deeper awareness of my saboteurs.

Before SHINE, everything was stressful. Now, I have a sense of peace, calm and acceptance about myself and my life. I feel a big transformation. These last couple weeks were some of the most stressful weeks of my life, and I had this underlying sense that what needs to get done will get done. That is a different reaction, a different person than before. I attribute that to the tools & language I've learned through SHINE. Each time I heard 'everything is already within you' it built a brick of believing and feeling it in my life. An issue popped up recently that would have sent me into a tail spin and now I just low key accepted it, which is revolutionary. I have new beliefs that are ingrained in me, that I believe and can apply to my life. That is radical.

-AD, past SHINE participant

Working with Emily has been a journey of self-discovery in realizing what is truly important and fulfilling to me. She’s helped me recognize that I have the ability within me to reach for the things that I desire. Emily is patient and a great listener who creates a safe and trusting environment during our coaching sessions. The biggest impact she’s had on me is helping me to identify the obstacles I face and creating the tools to overcome them.

-KL, software technology professional

Before SHINE, I felt lost, with a lack of direction and not sure what to put my energy towards. Now, I have more tools in my toolbox and I feel more connected to myself and I can share that with others who are around me. I am noticing my reactions with a deeper sense of understanding. I'm now able to see my reaction in the moment, pull back and reframe. I have found a sense of direction and am able to channel different energies from a place of goodness. I am able to accept what is happening around me without being idle.

Emily has enabled me to understand the things I really want and gifted me with the knowledge that they are within reach. I'm grateful for her coaching which has led to accelerated growth and impact of my business.

-Shawn Price, CTO & entrepreneur

Emily has been super helpful and a great part of my journey and helped me discover a lot about myself. The reassurances and support during the few times I had trouble doing some take-away items put my mind at ease and helped put things in perspective.
