My Philosophy:

We are in a time of massive growth on this planet. Everything is speeding up, including natural disasters and catastrophes. We must learn to process trauma as we are going through it - whether that be the dissolution of a marriage, a child struggling with drug addiction, or a hurricane that has wiped out a business or community.

I am here to teach how to process these life-changing events as we go through them.

My Business:

I am an executive coach for leaders and business owners, who wish to strengthen their spiritual resilience and use disaster preparedness to protect their businesses and organizations. 

My Spiritual Path:

My psychic skills had me training in and then working 20 years ago as an energy healer and shamanic practitioner. In the midst of being a hands-on-healer and spiritual director, I went to Quaker seminary for a Master’s of Divinity degree (I’m 12th generation Quaker). I've also got a Master's of Metaphysics degree. Currently, I'm in a PhD program in Conscious Business Ethics. Before going full time as a Spiritual Advisor and Mentor, I served as a trauma chaplain and home hospice chaplain for several years helping hundreds of people die. (No joke: people LOVE to die around me.) 

My clients come to me seeking wisdom and spiritual guidance. I help leaders and business owners marry their divinity with their leadership. This is how I help transform consciousness on this planet - by helping those folks already at the cutting edge of their fields catalyze their next level growth. I love teaching spiritual principles in a way that creates practical, real-life results. Usually with hearty doses of humor, colorfully expressive language, and the occasional snort-laugh!

My Day to Day Life:

I live in Asheville, in the mountains of Western North Carolina in the US, one of the most biologically diverse parts of the United States, and home to spiritual vortexes and at least one major Ley line. In 2024 we lived through Hurricane Helene, which devastated our community. I served as trauma chaplain to my community members during that time. My husband Jeff and I live with our two miniature dachshunds, Winston and Leroy, in a dream house we built on our favorite mountain. 

I spend a lot of time outside, hiking, kayaking, napping in the hammock, observing nature, listening. I cook, I study, I write, I care for my body, I spend time with close friends. For the most part, I have a quiet, simple, life that allows me to be fully present with my clients and their businesses.

My Chronic Illness:

I built a 7 figure business with a chronic illness - Lyme disease. Lyme has been in my body since 2009. Living with this illness does impact my business, and has taught me so much about how to show up for myself and my business.

“I grew a $4 million business from zero in 4 years working with Emma."

I knew I wanted to work with Emma after hearing her speak at a local event, and something innately told me she would be pertinent to my own personal growth and up level that would then allow me to build a business.

There was a lot of deep inner work to be done as well as deeply connecting my souls purpose and Emma was a catalyst in all of that for me.

She allowed me to see that there's so much more that plays into business than strategy and tactics and numbers, and opening up to a new belief system was the first critical step in starting Authentic Conversion. Emma also coaches my Mastermind clients each month to support their growth through a similar process of inner awakening that results in a better business.

“I have been able to reduce my fear significantly, have grown my business and have made the time to pursue other interests like writing, speaking and going back to school!”

I came to Emma during a time when I wasn’t sure what I was supposed to be doing. I was in deep conflict over my place in the world, my calling and my purpose. I own a business that was causing me a lot of stress and fear and those emotions were keeping me from fully living or expressing my gifts. 

Working with Emma over the past year, I have developed a very clear idea of where I am going, who I am, and what is mine to do in this world. I have been able to reduce my fear significantly, have grown my business and have made the time to pursue other interests like writing, speaking and going back to school!

Emma is very honest, grounded and FUNNY! I instantly warmed to her natural candor and easy-going approach. She is a great listener but, equally good at “reining in” when necessary. Emma helped me to learn that my soul purpose is to serve, inspire and to “heal” others. No matter what physical form that takes, as far as a “job”, my true occupation is not what I do….but who I am. and what I give to others.

“I feel WAY more confident in who I am marketing to, how I am marketing to them, as well as what forms of marketing are most aligned to my personal style and strengths. I also have a clear plan for growing a multi-six figure business!" 

Before working with Emma, I hadn't done a long-term strategy for my business in quite some time.

The Intake process was extremely helpful for clarifying exactly what my goals are of my business in the next year, and where my priorities need to be. To be honest, I've been working IN my business so much I had lost sight of the bigger vision and strategy. Emma helped me to remember that I am the CEO of my business.

During our work together, we clearly identified the type of client who is a perfect fit for my front end offer. We also honed and refined that offer and price point, crafted marketing messaging and a webpage that clearly speaks to my ideal client, their top-of-mind pressing pain and the tangible results that are available to them when they work with me.

I feel WAY more confident in who I am marketing to, how I am marketing to them, as well as what forms of marketing are most aligned to my personal style and strengths. I also have a clear plan for growing a multi-six figure business!

“I’ve fallen in love with my companies all over again and I am more in tune and aligned with the clients and work I want to attract”

I was seeking a soulful, super savvy coach. I was also craving the wisdom of other established leaders who operate their business from a place of purpose. I didn’t expect Emma’s program  would cut subliminal ties that were holding me back from flying to the next level.

Nourishing myself with wisdom, community, and support helped me to grow in such a powerful way emotionally, spiritually, intellectually, giving me such a new perspective on who I am, what my value is, and where I can go.
