Hi, I’m Emma,

If we were sitting down over a coffee, I’d want you to know that my life hasn’t always looked the way it does today.

I’m naturally positive, energetic and curious about life. I love being outdoors, travelling, keeping active and having something to look forward to. But I’ve also had times when getting through the day was enough.

My son, Charlie, died at just ten months old after a short illness with meningitis. Losing him changed my world. In the years that followed, raising awareness and supporting other bereaved families gave me a sense of purpose when so much felt impossible.

I’ve also lost my best friend, my sister and both my parents. I still wish they were here. Those experiences have made me appreciate how precious life is the ordinary days as much as the big adventures.

Then, during the pandemic, I made the difficult decision to leave my marriage of twenty years.

There had been adultery, lies and controlling behaviour. Coming to terms with what had happened, and the effect it had on me, took time. I remember the sleepless nights, the endless questions and the exhaustion of trying to keep everything going for the children while struggling myself.

Even when you know something needs to change, taking that step can feel enormous.

And leaving meant changing far more than my relationship...

Alongside rebuilding my own life, I was helping my girls navigate the divorce and all the changes it brought. It wasn’t always easy. They struggled too, and there were times when I was trying to support them while still finding my own way.

We worked through it together, with difficult conversations, reassurance and time to adjust. Today, seeing them flourish as strong, independent young women is one of my greatest joys. I’m so proud of who they are becoming.

As I adjusted to being a single parent, I also realised my old career no longer fitted our lives. The school runs, being there for my daughters and managing everything on my own simply weren’t compatible with the way I’d been working.

So I began reshaping my working life too.

It wasn’t one brave decision followed by everything falling into place. There were doubts, practical problems and plenty of days when I wondered what I was doing. But gradually, I started asking: What do I want life to look like now? What matters to me? What could I do differently?

That brought me back to a passion I’d discovered years earlier while working at a wellness centre in South Carolina: helping people feel better and get more from their lives.

I retrained as a holistic wellness coach with the International Association of Wellness Professionals and went on to focus on divorce recovery. I began building a career that gave me purpose and worked around my family, a life shaped around what mattered to us.

Today, I’m happy. Properly happy.

I’m in a loving, trusting relationship where I can be myself. I have work I care deeply about, and room for friendship, laughter, travel and new experiences.

There are still challenges, of course. But I enjoy my life, and there was a time when I couldn’t imagine being able to say that.

That’s why I care so much about this work.

When we work together, I bring my professional training, practical tools and personal experience. We’ll look at what you’re facing, what you need and how to take your next steps. We’ll make room for the difficult days, while keeping sight of the person you are and the possibilities ahead.

You don’t need to know what your whole future looks like yet. I certainly didn’t.

But whatever has brought you here, I want you to know that this chapter can lead somewhere you haven’t imagined. Somewhere with more freedom, more enjoyment and more of you in it.

You only get one life. You deserve to enjoy yours.
