HI I'M EMA
And I help project managers build careers that don’t burn them out.
You’ve spent years holding everything together: deadlines, teams, clients, crises, all the invisible labour no one sees. You’re brilliant at your job, but you’re exhausted. And somewhere along the way, the work stopped feeling meaningful and started feeling… heavy.
I get it, because I lived it. And now I create coaching programs, tools, and courses that give project managers permission to build careers that feel calm, sustainable, and actually enjoyable again.
HOW IT ALL STARTED...
There was a point in my career where I was the definition of "high-functioning burnout".
For years, I was the project manager who held everything together. The one who could always take on “just one more thing.” On the outside, I looked successful. On the inside, I was running on fumes.
I’d wake up exhausted, spend my days sprinting between meetings and inbox fires, and use my evenings trying to tick as much as possible off my ever-growing to-do list. My health slipped. My creativity disappeared. My relationships shrank to quick check-ins between deliverables. And I genuinely believed that was the price of being good at my job.
At some point, I realised I’d built a career that left no space for me. So I started redesigning everything, Not by quitting project management, but by choosing myself within it.
And that’s why I’m here now: to help you build a career that doesn’t cost you your health, your joy, or your life outside of work.

I’m a people-first PM turned coach because I got tired of seeing brilliant humans burn out from roles they should be thriving in.
I spent the first 15 years of my career not knowing that I had ADHD. Suddenly the madness makes total sense!
I am a mum, a partner, a dog mum, and I love nothing more than spending time with my family exploring the world.
I grew up in the 90s, and my current hyperfocuses include retro games consoles and painting Polly Pockets.
In 2021 I learnt to swim with my face underwater and within a month swam 400m in 7.5 mins to become a volunteer lifeguard!
I’m fiercely anti-hustle culture and pro-“finish on time and go live your life”. Because life is more important than work!
I'd love to get to know you too!
