OMG before I started working with Emma I was confused AF! About what I wanted to do, how to be happy, where I needed to be physically and emotionally. I was just lost! I felt so reactive and out of control, with very little self-trust in terms of my ability to respond appropriately to a situation. This was a real issue at work, where I really need to perform at a high level. I didn’t have any hesitations about working with Emma, but I did have some reservations about coaching in general. To be frank, there aren’t many people who I would trust to be good at it! Emma is incredibly brilliant, and my work with her has been illuminating in the most profound way–neural-network shattering and expanding. Like I can feel new synapses firing and new pathways generating. The biggest change I’ve seen is my ability to separate myself from the emotion of a situation and be more thoughtful about my response. I’m able to respond from more than just my initial impulses.In life, you have these fantasies of the perfect thing that could happen. You go to see your favorite band and it’s fantastic, or the perfect house becomes available out of the blue and you’re able to buy it. That’s what coaching with Emma is. It’s that rare, perfect thing. If you’re thinking about it, DO THIS THING! It’s a gift for yourself, and as you become better, happier, more functional, it’s a gift to the rest of the universe too.

I came to Emma in January, unsure of how to move forward in finding a better work environment. At that time I was working in a place that felt really unsupportive and transactional. By the end of February I had a new job! The work environment is wonderful, the position that excites me and plays way more to what I actually like to do, and they’re paying me a lot more. (A LOT!) Even before I reached out to my network, Emma helped me think through the practicalities–there were things I knew I needed to do, but I needed someone to guide me through those things. I needed a hand to hold. Honestly, that helped me narrow my focus, be more intentional. When the time came and they asked me my asking price–Emma and I had thought it through already! I’m a Sagittarius so I don’t usually have details. But I had details! And then the universe blessed me and they offered above my asking price!Emma is very nurturing, very productive, very effective, very affirming, very positive, lots of laughter. If you’re looking to make serious changes in your life…and you want to do it in a way that isn’t overwhelming or scary…but still produces really good results–don’t hesitate for a second to work with her!

When I first began working with Emma, I was in a pretty rough spot. I hadn’t had a job for the past six months, and was really feeling the impact of the pandemic. I had not been practicing yoga or exercising regularly and was feeling pretty down about everything. I was really apprehensive about working with a life coach, I didn’t know if it would be beneficial or just a waste of time. But I was excited to work with Emma! Right from the beginning, she was compassionate, empathetic, and beyond helpful. She listens deeply to what I say, and then asks questions that better my understanding of my thinking, feeling, and general attitude toward life. Emma has an incredibly diverse toolkit–our conversations might include anything from dream analysis to an exploration of my living space to a tarot reading–and that keeps our sessions fun and exciting. Emma helped me find some ways to combat Covid-fatigue, and get back to a “normal” routine. I got a new job and I am feeling a lot more optimistic, motivated, and fulfilled in my everyday life. One thing we worked on in particular was getting a regular exercise routine going–since working with Emma, I find myself walking, doing yoga, or going to the gym more consistently. And I feel better while doing it, while before, I felt like I was just forcing myself to go through the motions. Anyone thinking of working with Emma is in for a delightful life-changing treat!

When you talked about going more inside oneself, and mentioned Natalie’s practice of giving herself treats, I started to do the same thing and had fun with it. It was a small way I could give myself the positive reinforcement and take away the terror and anxiety of not doing something “well enough” in a prescribed, often short amount of time. As a result I’ve been writing more, painting more, and am going to go back to school.

Emma, all I can say is: you reach out and share things in a way that is vulnerable and unapologetically just exactly /you/ and I admire that and wish I was braver like you. I mean, who I am is right out there, don’t get me wrong. Ya meet me for 5 minutes and you get that sense. But … It’s the being vulnerable part I have trouble with. But for you it’s like some kind of superpower or something.Please. Teach me your hwaysss.

Even though I’ve had years of therapy with intense, deep personal work, I was surprised to see how helpful and insightful Emma Magenta’s coaching was. Coaching is not about going back to the past to rummage through traumatic stories from childhood, but rather exploring what obstacles are in the way today from getting what we want. Emma is real and humble in the way she listens while offering deep reflections, couched in a genuine ego-less delivery. I was particularly moved by Emma’s sensitivity of the insidious ways white supremacy and capitalism can impact one’s personal life. I highly recommend Emma’s coaching.
