Hi, I’m EMILY!

An educator, mother, ICF-accredited life coach, and the heart behind The Intentional Collective.

For over fifteen years, I worked in education, supporting students with diverse learning needs as a Learning and Support Teacher and learning how powerful it is when families feel truly seen, heard, and supported. I sat with parents who were overwhelmed by school systems, unsure what their child needed, and exhausted from advocating alone. I worked alongside teachers navigating burnout, complexity, and increasing demands. And I saw how often mothers put themselves last while carrying the invisible load of everyone else’s needs.

And then, somewhere in the noise of work, motherhood, and constant doing, I realised I had lost myself too.

Transitioning out of the classroom and into coaching wasn’t a single moment, it was a series of small, brave steps. Steps toward living with intention. Toward simplifying. Toward reconnecting with what matters most. Toward building a life that felt like mine again.

That journey is the foundation of everything I do now.
