“Working with Emmy allowed me to look at my life in a safe space. I don’t have the words to convey how powerful and transformative this experience has been for me. I started 1:1 coaching feeling physically and mentally exhausted because I prioritized other people and never had time for myself. Everything completely shifted by the end of the program. I learned how to slow down. I stopped doing things for others when I was barely getting by myself. I started to listen to my body and honor its needs. I got curious. I questioned why I was doing things certain ways, and if those ways didn’t make sense, I changed them. Slowly, small changes added up and I took back control of my life. Now, I prioritize myself without feeling guilt, and I make decisions based on what I want and need. My life is more peaceful now, and I am better equipped to deal with hard things while also being able to embrace good things. Emmy helped me see how special and worthy I am. Working with her truly changed my life.”

“For the first time since my trauma, I feel like a whole valuable person again. I used to live in a constant state of fight or flight, thinking that I had to fight for everything in my life–my career, my partners, my friends. I’ve learned that I don’t deserve to fight for crumbs anymore. I am worthy of love, respect, kindness, reliability, trust, understanding, and empathy. I don’t feel as alone anymore because I finally feel at home within myself. This is truly the best investment that I have ever made.”

“Emmy changed my life. She has given me so much more than I even thought possible when we started working together. Before this experience, I felt so scared to trust myself in relationships after abuse. I felt like my night terrors, insomnia, and hypervigilance were things that I needed to get rid of to become healed. Now, I not only trust myself in my relationships, but I realize that my body is just trying to protect me. I finally feel safe in my own skin. I now know and understand myself on a deeper level, and am confident discussing how my trauma impacts me daily with those around me. I feel like a giant weight has been moved off my shoulders. Put simply, thank God, the universe, and all the higher power for Emmy. To anyone wondering if coaching with Emmy is something you should invest in, stop wondering and just do it. You will not regret it. Because she has actually lived through what she’ll help you through, she is able to make you feel truly understood while helping you at the same time. I cannot recommend this healing experience enough. I didn’t think it was possible to feel so safe while being pushed at the same time. Emmy is a life changer.”

“I gained confidence that I am going to heal, and I gained the confidence to name what has happened to me. Both of these things have enabled me to move forward but also be gentle with myself as I do. I learnt so much from this course about shame, about how this affects my body, and how it affects my relationships. I am so much more able to connect with how I am feeling and why, and able to think connect with what I need. I have gained this sense that I am going through a second adolescence, and this has been so empowering – I am now getting to know myself, who I am and what my values are. I am able to say intergenerational trauma and neglect stops with me, and be able to be excited about a future for myself that I just didn’t feel able to imagine. The practical yet also grounded in theory/ideas approach of coaching has been invaluable for this, since I am a person who needs to understand before I can imagine a way out. I also started to understand ways in which abusers still have a hold on me in certain ways, and being conscious of this has made me able to resist, and also to put myself and care for myself, first.”

“Overall I gained from the experience of receiving the Trauma Informed coaching by Emmy, way more understanding on the effects trauma has physically, mentally and overall. I gained more dignity back, when I had felt none. I also had clarity and closure to a particular trauma, I had not shared with anyone. And I also had a sense of self revived, that the little girl I was, pre-trauma didn’t deserve what I had experienced and that I am worth it. The healing and self care and undoing the effects of trauma. I was truly inspired by Emmy, and to work in such a loving, caring supportive setting, was truly awe inspiring. Her 3 month coaching really was the first major investment I had done for myself, and I believe it was very rewarding. I learned a lot and I believe it helped me with beginning to grow and have some hope restored. It helped me to believe I don’t have to be held back anymore due to traumas. That its a journey, to be gentle. -I really liked where she talked about trauma shaming, that felt validating. Trauma is widespread, but has been treated with contempt, or like this hidden problem, in my opinion, considering I had trauma for decades with little to no answers.

I believe it helped me to have more grace for myself, as well as love and understanding. I really like her knowledge and experience and she has a way of working with you, to where she’s very approachable and a pleasure to work with. It helped build my confidence, actually confiding in someone about some horrible experiences and thinking outside the box, no shame involved. And being that she is someone who went thru trauma and abuse, and her story is just so inspiring and her coaching was really a gift. Because I was familiar with her instagram content, when the opportunity became available, I felt called to do it, and took a leap of faith. I’m glad that I did, because she really was a joy to work with. She’s courageous and I just felt very seen, heard and encouraged. I believe that investing in myself and the actual content of the coaching, and working with her, helped me to gain some confidence, and be more gentle and kind to me. Also making that connection back to my inner child, and that, I am not a horrible person because I endured trauma, and that I can experience love, growth and healing. I shifted more to more balance and to began to think of my dreams, and integrate more into wholeness.

An external shift I experienced was becoming less and less of a people pleaser, not tolerating abuse or disrespectful toxic people, becoming more free and having growth, outgrowing stagnant draining relationships, beginning to hope again and have more times of stability, and glimmers. I had a block to where i would rarely let myself just rest. And her coaching helped me, to begin to rest as needed, no guilt, it was helpful and it also helped me to begin to value myself again, because i realized i had been with abusers my whole life really and that i didnt ever have to again. I would recommend her coaching to others! Yes, i truly loved the experience, the content, the journaling, the meetings, the material, it was really thoughtful and shes really a brilliant, resilient, inspiring woman, and it just was beneficial and i think others would find the same. 🙂 I also would like to say that while I was going through the coaching, I was dealing with some pretty heavy family stuff, and that I believe working with her was not only a gift to me, but for my children and family, it was rewarding.”

“I was nervous to try trauma coaching, but after years of hitting the wall trying to heal all by myself and having failed experiences with traditional therapy I decided to bite the bullet and try coaching with Emmy. The whole experience has been so amazing and beyond helpful!! I have a better grasp on how much trauma has impacted my life and now have much better coping mechanisms thanks to what Emmy taught me in her program. Before whenever I would get triggered or just feel completely bad about myself, I didn’t know what to do in order to accommodate for those situations, but now I have tools that I can use whenever I end up in those states and in general as I go through my life day to day. I no longer look at myself in a very harsh way and instead have noticed that I have been kinder to myself plus I have been able to learn more about why my body reacts that way it does, how I can set better boundaries, and how I can communicate what I am going through with others. I have seen so much change in myself in these past 3 months and it has made me so hopeful for my future. Emmy has been so patient, understanding, and kind. Her gentle accountability and support has been such a blessing. I can’t recommend her enough and am so thankful that she offers this service to trauma survivors! This whole experience has helped me develop a better perspective regarding my trauma, myself, and my relationship with others.”

“Signing up for coaching turned out to be more than what I expected. From a history of verbal abuse, suspicions of having depression in my past, and ongoing anxiety, it was no easy task to unmask myself and reach out for help. I am now able to be vulnerable and own it. I am so glad I went through with this experience of paying for a coach. I will forever be grateful to Emmy Marie for her validation, her support, and her genuine care to see me thrive in my personal life. As my coach, Emmy Marie gave me her undivided attention during our sessions; she provided me with respect and care. I came into this coaching experience with feelings of unworthiness, feelings of being broken or defective. I am now walking away, owning up to my unique personality makeup. I am now confident in myself, confident about my future, and pumped up with the conviction that there is purpose in my life and that I matter and am worth my time and effort. The past 12 weeks have positively impacted my life in that I am certain that the shifts I saw in my thought life are indefinitely changed for the better. I truly recommend getting Emmy Marie as your coach.”

“My coaching experience with Emmy was not only rewarding for my mental and emotional health, but I felt that I gained a friend – a true advocate for my trauma-healing process. Emmy is kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, and understanding. I have done a lot of personal reflection/inner-work over the years, yet I still lacked a connection between certain mental health facts, positive coping strategies, scientific terminology, and their application to my life. During my coaching sessions with Emmy, I experienced several “aha” moments, as well as feelings of immense relief. Knowing that I am not alone in my trauma recovery, has meant everything to me. Emmy uses her personal experiences of pain, and healing to relate to each of her clients individually, and provides a safe space in which each individual can open up and feel “heard.” I never felt judged or shamed during any of our interactions; a common fear among trauma survivors. I am so grateful for Emmy’s expertise in helping me better understand my worth as a woman, human being, and trauma survivor!“

“Working with Emmy was so helpful for my mental health and my growth. She is so patient, understanding, and kind. She was available whenever I needed someone to talk to and she was always prepared with information and resources to help me with my struggles. I now have a better understanding of my trauma and the part it plays in my daily life, as well as my relationships and the stories I have about myself and the world around me. I’m able to take a second look at how I perceive things now because I know that my trauma has shaped my outlook. She has taught me that I am not bad, there is nothing wrong with me, and it wasn’t my fault. I’m so grateful to have had this experience with her!”

“Emmy is a radiant and passionate soul dedicated to helping others grow. Her holistic approach of meeting clients where they are at in all aspects (emotionally, mentally, spiritually, etc.) enables them to feel supported to make changes while being they’re “perfectly imperfect” selves. Our work together over the past 6 weeks has been a catalyst for small but significant transformations in my life that I’d previously been thinking about but wasn’t sure I could actually take. I’m so grateful for her fresh perspective and cheerleading as I tackle new goals!”

“After experiencing teen dating violence and other traumas, I felt like an entire part of myself was locked away. For almost a decade I’ve felt broken and lost without direction; I knew I wanted to heal, but I was terrified of putting in the work to get better because it was uncomfortable and seemed unreachable. I decided that I would be broken forever, and began isolating myself as much as possible. I became a master at pushing my emotions and anxiety down, running from it in order to not feel it. My anxiety attacks brought me a lot of shame and I repeatedly asked myself “what’s wrong with you?”, and when I looked in the mirror I would tell myself “I hate you”.

I felt incredible amounts of shame and guilt over my past, so I was nervous when I started Trauma Coaching, as I have tried forms of “counseling” in the past without much success. However, I was immediately drawn to it after my first meeting with Emmy, it was a completely different experience. Trauma Coaching wasn’t therapy or counseling, it was a key to unlock, understand, and nurture my past, while honoring it as part of me and not letting it consume me anymore. I could tell that Emmy was actually hearing me, she heard my struggles and encouraged me to keep walking in the journey of my healing even when I have bad days or feel that I’m not making progress. While I’m encouraged to face the heavy parts of my past and heal from them, I’ve never felt the pressure to say I was doing better if I wasn’t, or come to our sessions with only good things to say. She has helped me see that it’s okay to have bad days, it’s okay to not feel how others expect you to feel, that my feelings and anxiety are valid. We honor the good days along with the bad.

I notice myself being more conscious of the daily triggers I battle with and try to reason on why I’m feeling the way I do, instead of resorting to thinking I’m just broken. I’ve begun to make great connections and have gained so much knowledge about my own trauma and how it affects my body, mind, and relationships. Emmy has also helped me to not only recognize, but celebrate my successes, no matter how small. Each time I’m able to make a personal boundary and stick to it, I feel empowered. I’m finally putting my healing first, and I’m allowing myself to feel uncomfortable in order to grow. I’m being kinder to myself and I’m acknowledging that healing from trauma is not a straight line. I feel that so many people who’ve experienced trauma could greatly benefit from working with Emmy, as I have, and I’m incredibly thankful for the opportunity to work with her. I feel that I have gained many invaluable tools and affirmations and I’m excited to continue making my healing a priority.

I feel like I’m finally getting my life back; thank you for that, Emmy!”
