Hi, I'm Emily.

I’m a business owner in tech, an outdoor athlete and a coach. I work with fellow business leaders, athletes and others to make meaningful change in their lives and businesses.

I’ve been focused on human development for most of my adult life, including over a year of mindfulness retreats at the Insight Meditation Society, a Masters in Social Work from Washington University in St. Louis, certification in Internal Family Systems (IFS), and most recently, certification as a Presence-Based Coach.

As a business owner, my boutique web design business has grown each year since I acquired it in 2020. And we achieved that growth while also simultaneously staying committed to life outside of work (ie, no 60-hour work weeks). 

As an outdoor athlete, I’ve climbed Pico de Orizaba (18,491 ft) in Mexico, Mt. Rainier, trekked in the Himalayas and trained with leading female mountaineers.

I love living in the beautiful Pacific Northwest and am grateful to call Portland, Oregon home.

 Things I’ve learned as a business owner:

  • that we can define success for ourselves
  • how to recognize and act on opportunities
  • know when to push harder and when to dial back
  • access resilience when things are challenging

Credentials

5+ years as a Business Owner in Tech

Certified Presence-Based Coach

Trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS) 

25+ years of Mindfulness Meditation Practice

It's been said that I'm dogged about personal growth. Truth is, I've been on the path since I started meditating at age 18. I believe we don't have to stay stuck. That the stuck places can be doorways to something bigger and better. I believe both in neuroplasticity and the resilience of the human spirit.

My time outdoors supports everything. Nature calms my nervous system and reminds me of the bigger picture. The mental and physical challenge of mountaineering also builds the strength and resilience I need to meet life, both professionally and personally.
