How I Can Help
No quick fixes — just honest questions, deep thinking, and space to redesign what matters to you.
I’m Emma — a mindset coach, educator, a business owner with over 13 years of experience leading teams and working with professionals across the design, communication, and education sectors. I’ve lived and worked on three continents — Australia, the United States, and Europe — and have facilitated over 4,000 coaching and learning session supporting internationally-minded professionals, expats, and creatives navigating transitions, burnout, and identity shifts.
I hold a Master of Arts from the University of Hertfordshire (UK) and a Bachelor of Communication Design from Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University (Australia), with additional studies in Fine Arts (USA), Business, and Design. I’m also a certified Mindset Coach, ICF Level 1 Coach, and hold Cambridge CELTA certifications for English-language instruction, with English proficiency certified at native-equivalent level.
My work blends design psychology, philosophical inquiry, and practical mindset tools to help clients gain clarity, energy, and confidence.
I coach in English— because it opens doors. I coach in English - not for perfection, but for connection and clarity. As someone who’s built a global life and career in a second language, I help you express yourself with confidence, navigate transitions, and grow with authenticity.”

My Approach & Methods
My work integrates three complementary methods: Life Philosophy Design, Neurodesign, and ICF-accredited coaching.
Life Philosophy Design offers a reflective framework for exploring personal values, meaning, and long-term direction — helping clients clarify what truly matters. Neurodesign brings in insights from neuroscience and creative process design to support mindset shifts, habit change, and intentional environments for focus and growth. ICF coaching provides a structured, client-centered foundation rooted in presence, active listening, and accountability. Together, these methods offer both depth and practicality — supporting sustainable change that is thoughtful, embodied, and aligned with each client’s unique context.
