Welcome, I’m Glad You're Here!
Landing here is your first step to clarity ↓
Hi, I'm Emma
I know what its like to feel lost, uncertain and unclear.
In the early 2020's I knew that I wanted to leave the legal profession.
It didn't make sense to anyone, not even to me. I had a built up an amazing and successful business which I had loved running. I was good at being lawyer but it was no longer fulfilling me, or challenging me. I had no idea what I wanted to do.
I had dabbled in various spiritual endeavors and knew that I had strong intuitive abilities. These abilities were what also made me a great lawyer. I was good with people and able to hold space and guide them through some tough moments in their life.
I was also burnt out and exhausted. I had given my all to my law business, staff and clients over 10 years and had very little time off. It wasn't till I stopped I realised how exhausted I was.
Often when you are in place where things feel unclear, it can be hard to find someone to talk to.
Friends and family always have their own opinion often influenced by their own experience.
As a lawyer I was often telling clients buying their first home - "don't ask anyone else for advice but me!"
The experience is similar when we find ourselves in a place of uncertainty. I have a created a place for you to come to, talk about what you are currently going through and receive channeled healing and guidance specifically for you.
You will leave feeling lighter and much clearer in your next steps. Guidance I wish I had had when I was in such a state of confusion and exhaustion.
Once I left law, I dabbled in business consulting and then real estate. 2024 and 2025 were both a wild rollercoaster for me personally.
My beautiful Mum passed away, I moved house, got engaged, separated, moved into my new home and started renovating it. When the end of 2025 rolled around I was one hot mess!
As hard as these events were, the silver lining was that my highly intuitive abilities 'cracked open' even more.
At the end of 2025, I saw the light and stepped away from real estate. I was also in the middle of doing a Healing & Chanelling Course with Master Healer & Channel, Sarah McGahan. Little did I know how much that experience would change my life.
As the clouds parted and I started to heal I also started to feel ready to step into something new. Something where I got to combine my incredible intuitive abilities with all the skills I had gained throughout my legal career.
I have always been passionate about helping people and Athena Energetics gives me a platform to do this and share my unique gifts.
✶Same Strategic Mind, Softer Battlefield✶
At its heart, law and healing ask the same thing of me: to walk beside someone in a difficult moment, make sense of what feels overwhelming, and help them find a way forward. I've always had a strong connection with people and a love of helping them solve problems, and that has never changed.
When I was practising law, I used to tell clients, "If I can't explain it in a way you understand, then I don't understand it myself." That still rings true today. My job is to pass on guidance and healing in a way that makes sense to you, so you can get on with being human.
I was often told I was very "un-lawyer-like," so it's no surprise that I've moved into work that is just as un-lawyer-like.
Even in law, I often felt I was being guided by something outside of myself. I supported clients through some incredibly tough moments, and I now know that there were times when Source was guiding me.
I've always had a strong connection with people and have always loved helping them problem solve. I love that I can continue this in my healing work.
As a young lawyer, I took a huge leap of faith and set up my own law firm. The business was a success, and I'm proud of what I achieved. I know what it takes to back yourself, trust the process, and keep going when the path isn't clear. Now I want to help you take your own leap of faith, and watch you succeed too.

✶The Things That Make Me Human✶
I love beautiful clothes, furniture, handbags and shoes! I recall a friend commenting that I had my own style - and I certainly do. I love understated elegance and surrounding myself with beauty.
I am a foodie. I LOVE great food, eating out and being cooked for.
My newest hobby is gardening. I love pottering around at home, growing new roses and picking them to admire around the house.
I have a stubborn but loving Bulldog-cross called Theo who has a love-hate relationship with his daily walks.
I love to move my body, everyday. From daily walks and swimming to the gym and quiet stretches in front of the t.v.
I'm a life path 7. Some of the traits of a Life Path 7 are the ability to take higher level spiritual concepts and apply them in a practical way, acting as a bridge between the seen and unseen realms and balancing mind and intuition.
