My soul didn’t come here to be your everyday Life Coach.
It chose MY life for a reason. And that reason was to intimately know DEATH.
On March 26, 2019, I lost my 32-year-old husband Ian to Uveal Melanoma. His death shattered the life I knew. It stripped away the roles & rules; the identities & illusions I’d clung to…and forced me into the void.
As dark and terrifying as it was in the in-between spaces, it was in the vast emptiness that I met something deeper…
My infinite essence, my soul’s voice, my true north.
Since that moment, death has become my greatest teacher.
I learned that with death comes rebirth – that every ending leads to a new beginning. So from the ashes of my life with my husband, I rose… for the first time, fully embodied in my purpose.
I built a successful coaching business out of coping with my grief. I guided hundreds of clients to rebuild meaningful lives after loss. I wrote and published my first book, LOVE & GRIEF. I’ve hosted sold-out retreats, reached millions of people on social media, and midwifed transformation again and again.
Hi, I'm Emily.
The first time, life thrust me into the threshold. But the deaths that followed? I chose.
I realized that growth takes shedding – a letting go – of older versions of self that no longer fit, of relationships that no longer align, of visions that no longer set your soul on fire.
To follow the my path of my soul’s calling, I laid to rest:
➞ A 3-year relationship. A home we had just built together.
➞ The business that launched my career.
➞ The identity of “the widow who turned her pain into purpose.”
➞ The high-achiever, the perfectionist, the good girl, the image of success.
Each death brought me closer to my truth.
But the evolution didn’t stop there.
“Am I making a huge mistake?”
“Who will I be if I let go?”
“Will I still be okay?”
And each time, I’ve discovered this:
When you enter the portal willingly
When you surrender to the void and let it strip away the masks, the roles, the identities…
When you release all the external things you thought you needed to feel joy, love, worth, freedom, or safety—
You’re left bare and naked.
And in that space, you finally realize:
It was always you.
You are the source.
You are the safety.
You are the answer.
I’ve resisted, clung, and bargained.
I’ve asked the same questions you’re asking now:
I’m not just here to hold space for your grief. I’m trained to catalyze your transformation with depth, care, and integrity.
I’m not just here to hold space for your transformation. I’ve trained for it—with devotion, depth, and reverence. I've spent years honing my tools in grief, spirituality, coaching, and ritual, sharpening my ability to guide others through the very territory I’ve lived.
Unleashed. Unshakeable.
Un-f*ckwithable.
When you burn your life down and who you were in it… when you voluntarily walk through fire… You rise – FIREPROOF!
If you’re in the midst of a metaphorical death
If you’re at the edge of an ending and craving connection to something real, something rooted, something you can trust…
I’m here to walk with you as your Threshold guide and Death Doula for these invisible deaths.
Because when we meet death—whether literal or symbolic—we come home to what matters.
We shed what’s false.
We remember who we are.
And from that place, we rebuild.
Not just for ourselves, but for the collective.
