Emily O'Barr
Coach | Somatic Practitioner | Massage Therapist
Welcome.
I am very glad you are here! Are you thinking about changing something in your life? Would you like some support, a thinking partner, someone who can help you get there? That's the work I do. And I love this work. Please explore the info below, and if you would like to learn more, I would love to speak with you!
Coaching
I work with people who are feeling stuck, looking for new possibilities and wanting more capacity in the following areas:
Meaning & Life Purpose
Transitions | Relationships
Career
Small Business Development
Communication
Boundaries
Recovery from Burnout
Work/Life Balance
Health & Wellbeing
Parenting
Managing Uncertainty
Alignment of Values with Actions
Being Present/Mindfulness
In this work the perfect place to begin is exactly where you are, and I can meet you there. Our work together is guided by the questions you have, the things that you want to be different and the places to where your curiosity travels.
I thrive at sorting through what is confusing, solving problems live, getting real, and finding humor and play and levity -- while at the same time offering actual meaningful support.
What is Coaching?
Coaching is an opportunity to take a look at where you are versus where you would like to be. It is an invitation to partner with a skilled professional who can help you recognize what is not working about your current situation, identify the underlying patterns or habits you created that may no longer be serving you in the present and build skills that enable you to make shifts in those patterns. It is a chance for you to intentionally create meaningful change in your life through designing forward-focused real-world action steps that are grounded in your gifts, goals and values.
Working with the support of a coach is:
~ having the opportunity to assess who you are and where you are in your life
~ having the chance to use this insight to re-imagine what is possible
and then
~ actively create a new direction with new skills, clarity and purpose.
Does this sound like what you are looking for?
"Emily has an exceptional ability to listen with compassion and draw people's attention to their own
inner wisdom and resources.
The result of a coaching session with her is renewed access to joy, freedom and possibility."

Let's talk about Coaching!
Thinking about hiring a coach and interested in exploring if coaching is for you? The best way to do this is a phone conversation. In this conversation (which lasts 30-40 minutes and is offered at no cost to you), we will talk about what you are hoping to achieve through coaching, and ways that coaching might be able to assist you.
It's a chance for you to ask questions about the process or anything else that you might be curious about. It's also a chance for you to hear more about my approach and decide if you think working with me fits your goals. Similarly, it is a chance for me to hear what you are looking for and give you an honest assessment of what I can offer. There is no obligation or salesy pitch involved here. I genuinely love talking to people about their personal development journeys so please reach out if you are curious!
