Who Am I?
Hi, I’m Em 👋

I’m a children’s wellbeing coach, educator, and facilitator with over 30 years of experience helping kids learn, grow, and thrive. After moving from the UK in 2010 and spending some time working with the School of the Air in regional Western Australia, I’m so happy to be back on the beautiful Sunshine Coast – living the coastal life I love, filled with sunshine, saltwater, and adventure.

Over the years, I’ve worked with children of all ages, but my true passion lies in supporting boys aged 8-12, the in-between years where so much change happens. This is such a crucial time as they start to navigate puberty, big emotions, and the shift toward independence.

My coaching focuses on helping boys build emotional awareness, confidence, and the practical life skills they need to handle challenges—like managing time, staying organised, and understanding their feelings. My goal is simple: to help them grow into calm, capable, and confident young men who are ready to take on life with courage and curiosity.

Why I Do What I Do?
I’m deeply passionate about supporting boys as they transition from childhood to adolescence. Too often, boys are told to “be resilient” or “manage their emotions” without being shown how. That’s where I come in.

My mission is to give boys the real-life tools, strategies, and encouragement they need to navigate life’s ups and downs – through practical, hands-on activities that make learning feel fun and meaningful.

Every boy deserves to feel seen, supported, and capable. My role is to help them discover their strengths, build confidence from the inside out, and develop the grit and life skills they’ll carry into adulthood.

Does Your Son Need Support With Any of These?
✅ Managing screen time and motivation
✅ Navigating puberty and body changes
✅ Organising schoolwork and routines
✅ Building friendships and healthy relationships
✅ Boosting self-esteem and confidence
✅ Understanding and expressing emotions

What’s Coming Up…
I’m excited to be running some new parent workshops on the Sunshine Coast in 2026 around breathwork and regulation! These sessions are designed to help you better understand what your son (or indeed daughter) is going through – and give you the tools to support him through this important stage with confidence and calm. I am also working on a new collaboration to support homeschooling parents based around curriculum aligned topics written in clear, jargon fee language with supporting resources and ideas – feel free to reach out if you’d be interested in a ‘free’ taster unit to be announced & dropped in the New Year – it will be a downloadable PDF format, or if you have any specific queries around delivery of homeschool programs.

If you’d like to learn more, or if you think your son could benefit from a little extra support, I’d love to chat. You can reach me anytime at hello@embracechangewellbeing.com.au 💙

Let’s help your son grow into a courageous, connected, and capable young man- ready to take on whatever life brings.
