I'm Emilie, a certified professional medical coach with a background in Marketing and Sales. Originally from Switzerland, I've had the opportunity to travel the world before settling down with my husband in Hong Kong in 2013. Recently, we relocated to Geneva in 2022, and it's been an exciting, yet also stressful journey.
Coaching has had a profound impact on my life, both personally and professionally. As a manager and a parent to a dynamic little girl, I initially sought coaching to heal myself from the effects of chronic stress. Little did I know that it would lead to such a transformative personal development journey. My coaching studies became a true revelation and sparked a deep passion within me. Following my inner calling, I made a bold career change and established my own coaching practice.

Driven by a desire for continuous growth, I have pursued various trainings and consistently invest in myself to learn new tools and modalities to better serve my clients. You can find all my credentials below.
I specialize in stress and resilience coaching, dedicated to helping women recover from chronic stress, overcome anxiety, manage unpleasant emotions, and ultimately build resilience. My passion for mental health stems from my personal experience with chronic stress and a realization of the limited awareness, support, and education available in the community. In today's world, we face increasing external and internal stressors, making it crucial to cultivate stress resilience.
Living in the bustling city of Hong Kong was very exciting and we learned to live by the statement that “busy is good”.
I used to work as a business owner. My days were filled with marketing and sales technics to get more clients, more profit, more brand recognition, more, more, and more… I was driven by the idea that I could do better, have beyond what I already had, and earn extra money. I was not even aware I was putting myself under constant pressure. becoming a mother and later COVID-19 surely didn’ t help, and added another layer of stress onto that. As a consequence, I became seriously ill. I lost weight and suffered from constant fever and extreme fatigue. For months, doctors tried to find out the cause of my illness without being able to point the disease. All medication failed; I felt worn out and at the end of my wits.
I turned to holistic approaches and started to believe in a mind-body connection. I understood that my mental and emotional states were blocking my physical healing. With the help of coaching, I started to shift my mental focus from misery to wellbeing. Session after session I gained awareness, clarity and understanding of my own beliefs and perceptions of the reality. I was able to create new visions and put in place positive changes. Within weeks, all my symptoms disappeared, and few months later I was in the best shape of my life, and most importantly I had never felt so much alive!
I realized that personal development was the key to my mind and body wellbeing, and the life I was living before didn’t allow me to grow to that extent. I am truly grateful to be able to work with people who are passionate about (re)-taking ownership of their own lives in the same way I did.
"Each of my meeting with Emilie have been so important in developing my resilience. She helped me a lot to recognize my stress, identify its trigger and manage it. Six months after my last meeting, I am stronger than ever and capable to deal with situation that were too stressful before. Thank you so much Emilie."
