Hi, I’m Emma!

From feeling MISUNDERSTOOD and an IMPOSTER in my SUCCESSFUL professional career to independently building my coaching BUSINESS and CONFIDENTLY dancing on my Instagram stories WITHOUT fear of judgement…

I’ve come a long way from the “good girl” Occupational Therapist I used to be BUT it wasn’t an easy road!

As someone who’s been told “she’s so lovely” her whole life, I get what it feels like to feel misunderstood and underestimated, despite having success on paper!

You wish other people would recognise your ability to LEAD so you often find yourself trying to PROVE your worth by avoiding failure, judgement and rejection.

If you resonate with this, the reason I get it is because I’ve been there too! I moved from a “lovely lady” to a leading lady who has a successful business supporting women like you. And now I see this transformation happen time and time again in my clients too!

Here’s more about how I got here ⬇️💃

My Confidence Story

You may already know me as the confidence coach creating life changing transformations for professional career & business women, who dances most days on her Instagram stories with NO F’s about who is judging her… 

But I wasn’t always confident.

Growing up I was the shy, “good” girl.

I always did as I was told.

I craved for everyone to like me.

I blindly followed the rules without question.

And tried exceptionally hard to meet the standards society told me I “should” meet.

Through “always doing my best” I achieved success VERY fast in my professional career as an Occupational Therapist landing my dream job in the UK’s specialist military rehab centre 4 years after qualifying. 

Whilst on paper I was exceptionally successful and those around me thought I oozed knowledge, confidence & “she knows what she’s doing” energy…

Inside I felt the opposite!!!

I constantly questioned if I knew enough.

I held impossibly high standards for myself that meant I wasted time perfecting the tiny details, I’d work late & often feel overwhelmed, stressed & anxious.

I never believed the great feedback & I’d downplay my wins.

I’d sabotage myself from progressing further because I feared I’d fail and couldn’t handle the judgement or rejection.

I was living in my head overthinking, overanalysing, worrying what everyone thought.

And this meant I missed out on the opportunity to ENJOY my success and incredible career!

But then I found personal development books & podcasts.

Counselling helped me understand myself better.

Coaching made me understand EXACTLY what I bring to the table & healed my fear of failure.

And I moved from a “lovely lady” to a LEADING lady!

I made the courageous decision to leave my professional registration behind to pursue NEW success as a confidence coach.

Now my clients are mentioning my name ALONGSIDE other coaches with YEARS more experience than me…

And I don’t feel intimidated or less than.

 

I feel WORTHY & DESERVING.

I OWN that I’m good at what I do.

I embrace getting it wrong.

I encourage myself to break the rules.

I’m confident to speak up and be heard.

And because I trust my ability and worthiness to have, hold and scale success…

I’m LEADING myself and my business through doing it MY way!!

What I want you to know before working with me…

LIBERATION is my number ONE mission!

Liberation is the source of your freedom from doubt, permission to be your WHOLE authentic self and how you will live a life full of more fun, fulfilment and ease! This is at the centre of why I choose particular practices, approaches and exercises to work through with you.

I highly value delivering EXCELLENCE

I’m very proud to be accredited with the Association For Coaching. I’m a forever student in upleveling my coaching skills and I will go the extra mile for you as my client!

YOU are important to me

I do not place myself on a pedestal as better than you, my mentoring programmes are a collaborative PARTNERSHIP! I invest in getting to know EXACTLY who you are, what is blocking you and I’m committed to crafting the transformation you desire

I’m not ALWAYS the ‘nice’ coach

You are choosing to work with me to get a transformation. When I observe you self sabotaging, procrastinating, perfecting, people pleasing or being TOO critical of yourself I will call you out (and you’ll thank me for it!)

I’m coming with ENERGY

I’m passionate about what I do so none of your challenges will feel too much with the high level of support you are given. If doubt is getting in your way, I will be available at the other end of a voice note to turn what could be a bad day into a challenging moment.

Liberating you from your self sabotaging fear of failure to take bigger, bolder & braver action than you’ve ever allowed yourself to before

What It’s Like To Work With Me

Before we start working together….

My clients have daily doubt, they’re shrinking themselves, confidence feels like a PERFORMANCE, anxiety, stress and overwhelm feel’s so normal they barely notice it as a problem but they know they’re overthinking, overanalysing & worrying what everyone thinks.

After 3 month’s working together they leave feeling…

Confident to be their authentic selves, successful REGARDLESS of results in their business or career, free to fail and they start performing BETTER because they have found liberation from everything that it holding them back, their inner narrative is supportive and they are TAKING UP SPACE by becoming the LEADER’S of their own lives!
