Sparked Conversation

The Most Transformative Year of My Life

Good coaching requires abilities that are rare in themselves, even more so combined. Analytical intelligence paired with empathic and intuitive skills. True curiosity, openness and deep listening. Patience, and the guts to interrupt and challenge – with softness, insistence and persistence. Humor is the “salt in the soup”. It reminds us to take things – and ourselves – less seriously and live more lightly. Emilah is one of those rare coaches that has them all.

Emilah coached me for nearly one year – the most transformative year of my life – within which I made major outward and inward changes. Every single session with Emilah was insightful and sustainably helpful.

Graceful Wisdom and Humor

I found Emilah’s facilitation to be gentle, clear, compassionate, and inspiring of trust and growth. She excels at meeting each participant where she is on her individual journey. Her graceful wisdom, sense of humor, and flexibility encouraged participation, sharing, and joyful release of blocks.

Overcoming Fear

I recognized that I was about to undertake some heavy emotional and spiritual work and that Emilah could play a role in my change process. I recognized that her twinned strengths as an intuitive and coach would help me press through some of the old stuff that it was time to examine and let go.

I overcame my fear that I wasn’t worthy of support. Whew tough work…but I am free and opportunities are starting to flow in. Funny isn’t it…how quickly we can begin to heal when we allow ourselves to?

Emilah’s support was pivotal to my path

When I first got in touch with Emilah, I had a job that brought my life meaning, travel and adventure but didn’t leave space for much else. I felt split from myself; enjoying the wind but sailing without a home harbor or destination. I wanted a family, but couldn’t see how that could happen in my life as it was. A few years down the track, life is quite different. I have my own home, a true partner and a little boy. When I look at how I got here, Emilah’s support was pivotal to the path. She helped me be present in understanding myself, set out a vision and make persistent little adjustments that changed my course profoundly. In our conversations she came to wherever I was, and brought wisdom, compassion, inspiration and fuel to keep belief burning. Working with her was so easy, such a pleasure and yet so revolutionary our sessions were the best gift I ever gave myself! Some way down the track I still find myself referring back to her guidance.

Choosing the Path of Authenticity

Emilah has been a great support for me through an almost complete turn-over in my life: Leaving my former profession and job, becoming self-employed, becoming ready to leave the place where I have been living the past 22 years and even more important: Daring to choose the path of authenticity.

The presence and care I have experienced from Emilah has enabled me to be with strong emotions, which has led to lasting changes and more peace of heart. I experience Emilah as present, honest, caring and wise. She has a lot on her palette and offers it generously.

Empathy and Acceptance

Working with Emilah, I experience empathy. I experience more of mySELF in how she listens and offers feedback, thoughts, feelings, translations, etc. Working with her, I experience calm acceptance.

I enjoy Emilah’s humor, even in the hard conversations and moments. I enjoy that she shares about her life and her experiences without making the session about her. Emilah contributes a combination of acceptance, heartfulness, strength, wisdom, curiosity and joy to our sessions.

Transformed my thinking completely

I woke up one morning feeling despair. My life had no purpose, nor could I imagine feeling different ever in the future. I was pretty desolate and scared.

I met Emilah at a workshop previously and knew that she was the person for me to call. She agreed to work with me, and that work transformed my thinking (and ultimately my life) completely.

I was in a relationship that I held dear yet had a past attached to it that was unpleasant. Emilah helped me untangle that past from the present in all sorts of ways. She listened well, guided me clearly, and held me gently. This was many years ago, and I am still grateful for her contribution to my life in this way, and the many other ways since then. I refer my friends and family to her when they are in distress or wanting support. I trust Emilah completely. And while I consider her a dear friend at this point, I would reach out to her if I wanted guidance and/or coaching.

Masterful Coach

Emilah DeToro is a masterful coach. By honoring my spirit, challenging my thinking and reflecting back what she sees, hears and senses from me, Emilah has helped me gain awareness of my greatest strengths and motivations as well as the shadows and self-created resistance that has held me back.

Compassionate and Intuitive Presence

“Emilah is a deeply compassionate and intuitive presence to all who come to her. She has finely honed her native gifts and acquired skills as a counselor, healer, coach, teacher.

As an energy healer, Emilah has helped me move some blocks and painful memories in my body so I can live more whole-heartedly! She has a gentle and powerful way of aligning energy in the body.“

Profound Realizations

“Emilah takes the threads of emotion and experience and weaves them into a pattern I can recognize. This helps me grow into profound realizations about myself and the way I am in the world.

Her vast experience of moving through spiritual, emotional and physical transformation allows her to bring all of herself to our sessions and offer a depth of empathy and insight that liberates my soul.”

Her insight and guidance helped me to shift my thinking

I experienced pivotal moments in my coaching sessions with Emilah where her insight and guidance helped me to shift my thinking, and thereby my actions so that I could move out of my stuckness. These seemingly small shifts resulted in big changes, resulting in finding my confidence and juice again after having moved to a new city just prior to the pandemic and the ensuing isolation and joblessness.  

In an energy session with Emilah, I literally felt shifts in my brain – sounds woo I know – but the clarity that the shift provided was another game-changing moment for me. If you’re looking to get your jam back, or for clear guidance in moving forward, hands down Emilah can support you in your process. 

Emilah is incredibly encouraging and deeply insightful

I came to Emilah feeling stuck in my freelance career, overwhelmed by the urge to seek a more creative path for my livelihood, and unsure how I was going to navigate the changes that I wanted in my life. Her intuitive guidance and coaching have been pivotal in reinforcing my confidence, finding clarity, and taking the steps to break away from my old career and forge into something new. Emilah is incredibly encouraging and deeply insightful; I love her holistic and embodied approach. The practices we’ve done together and the new ways of seeing/feeling/thinking that shes suggested have been transformative to my daily habits. I highly recommend her as a guide!

Couldn’t have selected a better ally and mentor

Emilah was my coach when I was in coach training since she was the only other coach in New Mexico trained by my school! I couldn’t have selected a better ally and mentor in my own development, and I continue to benefit from her deep intuition, caring, mentorship, humor and friendship to this day over 6 years later!

Empowerment and Safety

Emilah works with her clients from a place of empowerment. She holds each of her clients as already whole and champions them to own their power.

She creates the safe space for deep insights to surface and for personal transformation and evolution to occur. Working with her heightened my intuition. She holds a clear, intuitive space which allowed answers to come to and through me clearly.
