Embrace Your Authentic Self

Coming Home To Yourself

An online course for reconnection, acceptance,
and reclamation of the things that make you YOU.

Has trauma or hardship in your life caused you to disconnect from your true self, or prevented you from discovering what your “true self” even is?


Do you notice that you tend to overachieve, people please, or put on other masks in order to try to find fulfillment & happiness?


Are you longing to feel more power over your own life, instead of being controlled by past conditioning that you never chose?

I created Coming Home To Yourself for you!

The impact of experiences such as abuse of all kinds, neglect (including emotional), bullying, medical trauma, religious trauma, oppression, intergenerational trauma, and more, can lead to more than just symptoms like nightmares and flashbacks.

Trauma, particularly complex or ongoing trauma, can lead to a negative shift in our sense of identity.


Instead of having the opportunity to discover who we are, find our sense of self, and create an inner sanctuary, we often are forced to focus on staying alive. I refer to this as “survival mode”. And when we're in survival mode, it's often necessary to act in ways that don't feel in alignment with our true selves.

When you’re living in survival mode, you might try to achieve happiness, love, and fulfillment by…

  • Accommodating, caretaking, and pleasing others at the expense of yourself

  • Bending over backwards to make sure other people are happy, even when it feels exhausting or out of alignment with yourself.

  • Pretending to be okay, successful, and happy when you’re actually struggling.

  • Focusing on staying busy and external achievements until you burn out.

  • Keeping the peace at all costs, because speaking your truth could ruffle some feathers or cause trouble.

  • Constantly trying to improve yourself because accepting who you are feels impossible.

  • Doing anything to fill the void of emptiness you sense inside.

You make sense.

Living this way is not a personal failing; it’s likely an incredibly valid strategy you learned to survive feelings of shame, fear, and pain. And it’s exhausting, depleting, and frustrating to feel like your sense of worth and confidence is solely based on things outside yourself.

I created Coming Home To Yourself to offer you a place to discover, reconnect, and embrace your true self underneath the trauma and conditioning you’ve been through. Let’s talk more about what that would look like.

Coming Home To Yourself

  • Start to really name what you want for yourself and explore tangible ways to get there.

  • Temper your goals for yourself with self-acceptance - not pushing yourself hard, but leaning into aligned expansion.

The main ways this course helped me are…

“This course provided a safe space to express myself without judgement, engage with my healing journey, and for active reflection, while also being accountable to my authentic self in a space safe. I learned that my authentic self can be unperfect, and that's okay. Showing up for myself, in whichever way I need is being authentic. I became aware of my internal dialogue and core beliefs, plus given tools to feel empowered to change them.” - Padma P.

“I learned a lot about my masks, my responses to trauma, and begun to realize why I have those masks and responses. I've become more compassionate, curious, and patient towards myself as I heal. I feel like authenticity is a lot more realistic to me now...I'm starting to understand my authentic self better and it's exciting. I feel like I'm starting to come home to myself. :)” -LB

“The understanding of the barriers to connecting with yourself and best of all the opposites of those things, so that when I notice judgment come up for example, I'm not just aware of it anymore, I also know what might help to soothe it. I also feel like the course has helped me to accept all the parts of my trauma that are part of who I am and to stop punishing myself for them.” -NJB

My favorite aspects of the course were...

“I cannot choose what was more helpful: the workbooks and their thoughtful questions that truly led me through the process, or the lesson videos where I learned words, processes, and concepts that resonate and make so much sense to me. Altogether, I felt like this was a super well-rounded and balanced way of having different methods of accessing and processing this incredible course.” -NJB

“- Lecture videos I can watch at my own time and pace” - Padma P.

“The workbooks! So helpful” - CL

About Emmy

I am a writer, speaker, certified trauma-informed life coach & NARM practitioner.

My mission in life and business is to empower trauma survivors to own their truth, reject shame, and move forward toward a brighter future.

In my work, I take a shame-free approach to healing by focusing on how our bodies are impacted by trauma. This helps me and my clients find solutions for moving forward without getting stuck in cycles of self-hatred, doubt, or blame that keep us repeating the cycle of trauma.

I'm passionate about the topic of authenticity because I know firsthand how lonely it can feel to hide who you are in order to be accepted. While it can be scary to embrace your authentic self, it can also lead to fulfillment, joy, and a deep connection with others.

I'm so glad you're here!
