Hi. I’m Emilah

Astrologers tell me I’m here to live a spiritual life—to go deep, burn off karma (inherited patterns of behavior), heal the trauma I carry within me, and evolve into a more authentic, healthy expression of my soul.

That’s my experience for sure. Always learning, growing, identifying things that no longer work, letting them go, stepping into a better, fuller version of myself. And then doing it again in a different area of my life—career, relationships, health or spirituality.

I carry the frequency of transformation in my being—whomever I’m with, wherever I am, change is sure to follow. I also have a remarkable capacity for presence—holding unconditional, empathic space. I was in a rollover car accident in 2004 that cracked open my being allowing psychic, intuitive and energy healing gifts to flow through me.

Given all this, I’m often a catalyst for change—helping people and organizations clear out patterns of behavior and stagnant physical stuff that no longer serves and adopt new ways of being, thinking and creating. Transformation with a capital T, as I like to say.

Whether you’re looking to develop or affirm your intuition or make changes in your career, relationships, health or spirituality (or all of the above), I’m here to serve as a coach and guide. To be who and what I already am—an intuitive, coach, energy healer and change agent—and support you in becoming who you already are underneath all those patterns of behavior that no longer serve.

My partner in this work is Sanat Kumara, The Ancient of Days. Take a look at my Coaching Palette as well as the Random Tidbits and formal education and training below. I hope to connect with you soon.

Random Tidbits about Me…

Guided by the Bhagavad Gita

I’ve been studying Eastern spirituality and practicing yoga and meditation for over 20 years. One of my favorite books is Stephen Cope’s The Great Work of Your Life – a teaching on the Bhagavad Gita. I moved to Albuquerque to study at the Ayurvedic Institute.

I’ve been coaching all my life

As a student affairs administrator, I listened and advised students, staff and faculty all the time – we just didn’t’ call it coaching.  Coaching for Transformation helped me integrate the skills from my years in higher education with my intuitive capacity and added formal coaching skills. I’ve been doing Intuitive Life Coaching for a decade now and just love this way of connecting and serving.

A whack upside the head made me psychic!

I was in a rollover car accident in 2004 which cracked open intuitive and energy healing gifts. I spent several years coming to understand these gifts and honing my skills before enrolling in a coach training program to integrate them into a coaching model.

Retreats light me up

I love retreats and small group workshops that go deep. I was an onsite organizer for twelve Nonviolent Communication International Intensive Trainings (IITs) and have designed and facilitated a variety of my own workshops and retreats.

I’m an Empath

I’m an introverted, empathic, intellectually curious, highly sensitive person. I’ve created a life that supports my personality, interests, and the values I hold dear. I look forward to helping you do the same.

I love to travel

I grew up in New England, went to college and lived in Potsdam and Canton, NY, and spent a year living in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany working for AFRC and travelling around Europe.

Brené Brown is my Shero

I’m a big fan of Brené Brown. I’ve read or listened to every one of her books and podcasts and most everything she’s recommended. I am changed, in part, because of her work. I hope to go through the Dare to Lead training in 2021.

Living in the Wild West

I currently call Santa Fe (unceded, occupied land of the Tewa speaking people) my home, but I have the privilege of working with people all over the world through my online intuitive life coaching and energy healing practice.

Working the steps was harder than grad school

I moved to Tucson to go to grad school. I got sober and worked the steps while in living there. The 12-step community reparented me. I am fond of Tucson and visit whenever possible.

I rely on intuition for most every decision

I’m deeply familiar with transformation and the faith-filled leaps it requires. I’ve left jobs, cities, graduate programs, and relationships following inner guidance. I’ve also stayed put when it was uncomfortable because that’s the hit I got. I feel into what to wear each morning. Living this way requires courage, faith and trust in myself and God (insert your name for God here).

Somewhere between a nerd and a geek

I started college as a computer management systems major. I liked the people work but not the coding (called programming then:-). I still think from a systems perspective and use technology to make life easier. This is a great skill when working in/with organizations!

Affirmative prayer changed my life

I was an active member of Unity Spiritual Center Albuquerque for 12 years serving in a variety of roles – Prayer Chaplain, Prayer Chaplain Trainer/Coordinator, Church Administrator, and Board Member to name a few! I enjoy praying out loud with people and have seen and experienced the miracles of prayer.
