LIFE IS COACHING YOU
TM
Catch the spirit of a new partnership with Life
We all have tests and challenges in life. Often it’s only when we reach a point of being stuck or overwhelmed, when we can’t take another step on our own—or when we watch years go by with a dream still unfulfilled—that we’re ready to do life differently. Yes, there is a much easier way.
Awaken to the way Life itself is coaching you. Your answers lie within and around you. I specialize in helping you co-work with this guidance that illuminates your path beyond fear, doubt or shame. We have fun with the process in small, consistent steps as you actualize your heartfelt desire, your destiny of giving.
If this speaks to you, no matter where you find yourself now,
let’s talk.
Working with you is the best gift I've ever given myself.

my journey
Yes, I'm an ICF Certified Life Coach. And here's how my life path has been training me for decades . . .
. . . as an Educator
Teaching and designing curriculum from pre-school music to corporate business writing taught me the art of communication and the skill of breaking down goals into small, attainable tasks. Daily consistency defines success.
. . . as an Award-Winning Actress
Building characters, performing live, and directing theater taught me the complex nature of the human psyche. Each person is a unique blend. My favorite director, Mike Nichols, used to tell us, Actors must be rigorously self-accepting. Nurturing full self-acceptance is a key to happiness..
. . . as a Singer and Recording Artist
Singing for and with others took me from hiding in the shadows to sharing my voice. I learned to sing out and speak up with an authentic heart. This requires vulnerability. Learning to share ourselves is essential to any relationship..
. . . as a Minister
Spiritual growth and study taught me to listen from a profound spiritual perspective. I’ve gained compassion, courage, strength and wisdom. I have a gift for helping others trust their own inner guidance, the only true path to happiness.
. . . through My Own Challenges
Life challenges such as sexual abuse, brain surgery, divorce and building a business taught me to face fear with persistent love. I also learned that coaching is not therapy. It is forward-moving, touches on the past as needed, and sees our story as only the beginning of the life we dream.
If I may be the right person to help you, let's talk.

what's your style . . .
personal or collaborative?
Individual Coaching
One-on-one coaching is a good match for those who want personal exploration of life or work-related goals and dreams. We explore your unique path to fulfilllment, including breaking down larger results into smaller, manageable steps, and removing any obstacles in your way. We look at how Life Itself is already coaching you as you learn to awaken to Life’s daily and nightly guidance. Resources and support are surrounding you right now. Please see pricing page for details and discounted packages for individual coaching.
LifeCoach Group
Group coaching is a good match for those who seek a lower cost alternative and who know the powerful synergy of collaborating with others. Three clients meet in audio or video conference sessions to share goals, challenges and successes in a safe, supportive environment. Each is also individually coached during every session. Patterns emerge of how Life is already coaching you personally and collectively to see the small steps that lead to big results. Bring friends or I’ll match you up. Pricing page has details for LifeCoach Group.

come to the playground for the inner child
Have you left your most valuable ally – your inner child –
in the dust?
What was your favorite way to PLAY as a child? Before you became overwhelmed with responsibility, and before you began marking time by the clock, you knew the freedom of PLAY. Maybe your playground was a schoolyard, the neighborhood, the woods or your bedroom at home. Now, the world is your playground, and what you learned years ago can transform your life today. Partnering with your inner child is FUN, and it's a surprisingly effective way to face your toughest adult challenges, to grow in strength and confidence, and to connect authentically with others
Your powerful, creative inner child is your best ally, bringing freedom, buoyancy, happiness and success into your life. Re-connecting with your inner child is the most empowering choice you can make for a bright future.
In this live, 8-week program, we look at your world of PLAY. Each week, using the metaphor of playground equipment, we explore new tools and paradigm shifts—ways to support you in overcoming burnout, overwhelm, fear of the future, self-doubt, self-judgment, and shame.
You will learn to . . .

-
Counter a downward slide with a paradigm shift
-
Ride the ups and downs of life without trying to balance

testimonials
Who says that self-improvement needs to be painful? One of the gifts I have received working with Emma is having fun as I work on discovering who I am and facing my inner challenges...I also love that Emma is able to bring in a variety of different strategies to help address challenges from different angles. I have always felt validated and never pushed to unfold at a rate faster than I was ready to go. Through this approach, I have amazingly progressed much more quickly than at any other time in my life. I am gaining a broader perspective on my life and able to see the patterns that have been holding me back.

Before selecting a coach, you may want to find out more about their life. Who are they? What are their ethics and values? I’ve known Emma for over 20 years now. She is one of the most ethical, patient, compassionate, and loving people it has been my privilege to know. She has helped countless people, myself included, with her humor and deep love and respect for each person.

Coach Emma beautifully integrates purpose, passion and the heart space. It's what I love about her coaching. She has me stay true to my values and core beliefs as we create the future. Ever present and mindful, Emma listens for whatever's in the way of my commitments, goals and dreams. A natural in serving others, with Emma's unique coaching style, I feel like I have a true partner in building my business.
Lawrence G. Stern, D.C
Mount Kisco, NY
The most special gifts which place Emma’s coaching in a sphere of its own, are her direct and strong connection to Source and the natural intuitive gifts that emanate from that. She possesses a genuine capacity to envision, and has a natural awareness of how to systematically direct the progress towards manifestation of that vision. Should anyone be privileged enough to be coached by Emma, the increased speed of progress will be immediately and tangibly evident. This I believe emerges first and foremost from her sacred and authentic communion with Source coupled with her deeply sincere interest in her clients.

Emma Laurence is that rare combination of skill and heart. She has the artistic vision of an eagle and the soul of a poet. She gave me tools, guidance, and a roadmap for how to complete my manuscript. One month later it is done. I worked on it for more than 3 years! It was not until Emma sat with me, listened, and then guided me to my next steps that I completed the book.

Emma is a warm and perceptive professional who will partner with you in taking your life or skill to the next level. One of my first goals was to speak from the front of a room without a mic, and not have people yelling “speak louder… speak up!” Three weeks later, when facilitating a workshop, everyone heard my voice!
