I began working with Emmeline with the specific intention of “expanding” my purpose in life and directing it toward my profession. As we began working together it became clear there was something much more profound happening to me and for me at a level surpassing my professional life.

So, mid-stream we changed our focus and I began exploring an inner life that I did not fully realize had been driving my professional life for 35 years!

As a direct result (albeit winding journey) of the insights I gained with Emmeline in our early work, I am now on the path to re-entering the academic arena to obtain my MA in Psychology and am making the professional pivot from a 40 year Hi-Tech Marketing Executive/Leader to a Trauma Therapist.

Emmeline is not your garden variety coach. She uses her talents of intuition, spirituality, deep understanding of herself and her multi-disciplinary training to guide you toward your best self.

Today I am running my own business, dealing with all of the aspects of a business from client relations, marketing, design, presentations, account management and beyond.
It may seem unremarkable, as I am skilled, thoughtful, hardworking, accomplished, intuitive, and talented.

But I would not have been able to make a leap, had the clear vision, and belief in my abilities had I not worked with Emmeline. The obstacles, mis-aligned beliefs, self-doubt and fear of failure were holding me back.

Emmeline helped reveal these false notions, illuminate my abilities, spell out my goals, and reinforce my positive self image.

With Emmeline’s guidance through coaching, I was able to realize that I could never move forward in my life without going after what I wanted. The fear of failure was replaced with the fear of never trying to accomplish my goals.

Emmeline’s help coached me into seeing my own present abilities and a framework for moving myself to new heights.

I will forever be grateful.

When I began working with Emmeline I was clear that I was not in a good place about my work but very unclear about which direction to go and how to approach it. Emmeline guided me through a series of exercises that unlocked that clarity and further infused me with energy and excitement about where I was headed.

The funny thing is, I am still in the same job!

But with increased focus and direction my current role is more fulfilling and my time outside of work complements my long term goals.

During a few times in my life, the fear of staying put became greater than the fear of change. Meeting Emmeline is one such time. Five months ago I was stuck in a life I did not understand, spinning endlessly in search of meaning and purpose. ‘Fine’ and ‘okay’ were my responses to questions about how I felt. I viewed my life as unimportant and myself as not enough. I was desperate for change but unsure of how or what to do. Today I am in LOVE with life. I am present for and find joy in every single moment. ‘Grateful’, ‘remarkable’, and ‘astounding’ are part of my daily vocabulary. The sludge that filled me and the muck in which I stood are distant memories.

So what happened?

Nothing . . . and everything.

I did not change employment. My health has not waned or improved. I did not suffer the loss of a friend or family member nor have any friend or family member received acclaim or award. I have not come into a large sum of money, nor suffered a monetary loss.

No, my first step was a simple one. I walked into Emmeline Craig’s art gallery. I was not looking for a painting or a coach. A few days later I had both. I believe now that I was energetically drawn to her gallery; I felt a connection. I believe people appear in our lives at different times for different reasons. Emmeline’s promise of an initial consultation in which we could see if we were a fit appealed to me. Twelve weekly video sessions, a carefully crafted curriculum, and Emmeline’s willingness to share her own experiences have helped me look deeply inward. I not only love, but deeply appreciate and respect myself.

My level of comfort with Emmeline and my trust in myself and in the process have convinced me to continue this work with her.
