I'm Emily, a Self - Leadership Coach
📍Based in a small village on the Norfolk / Cambridgeshire border.
👦🏼👦🏼 Mum to two boys, now growing up and needing me differently.
✨Certified coach, trained with Optimus Coach Academy, working to ICF standards.
🧘🏻♀️Reformer pilates and long walks with friends are non-negotiable.
🎵Whitney Houston and 90's R&B according to everyone who knows me.
⚖️ I value time over money. Work-life balance and a comfortable life over chasing more.
If you're interested, here's how I got here...
Life was full in the best way. Our boys were young, my weeks were built around making a home, family dinners, time with friends and family, and football sidelines. I worked, but my main role was being a mum and spending time with my nan.
Life wasn’t without its challenges, but I had a strong sense of who I was, what mattered to me, and where I belonged. That identity was an anchor.
My nan passed away. My boys grew up and needed me less.
I found myself in a full-time job I’d never really planned to be in, and somewhere along the way the fullness drained out of my days. And with it, my sense of who I was. That identity that had felt like an anchor, I started to wonder where it had gone.
Who was I now, and what did I actually want? I started asking that quiet question... is this it? Work, cook, sleep, repeat
There was a time when I didn’t have to think about it. I felt like myself, then gradually, that stopped being automatic.
I found myself having to make a conscious effort to do the things that made me happy, and I wasn’t sure when that had become the new normal.
I wasn’t in crisis and I wasn’t deeply unhappy. But I was fed up, and I knew I didn’t want the rest of my life to feel like that.
What changed
That feeling is what led me into self-development and eventually to becoming a coach.
I handed my notice in, stepped back from the career I'd drifted into and trained to become a coach. I am now a certified coach working to ICF standards. A whole person approach rooted in neuroscience that looks at mindset, emotions and behaviour together, not just the surface issues.
It gave me back excitement and purpose. And I felt like I was actually choosing my path rather than going along with it.
You might think you've lost yourself. I don't believe that's true. Whether you've changed or the season has, nothing's missing - you're just working out what fits now.
I work with women who found real purpose in raising their children. Now that their children need them differently, they're left wondering what this next chapter looks like.
They don't feel motherhood took something from them. They simply recognise life has changed, and they're ready to understand who they are today, not who they used to be.
Women ready to make conscious choices that are theirs, trust themselves and build a life that feels every bit as meaningful as the one before.
