Success Stories

**I was able to produce and sell a lot more cartoons, including to The New Yorker, and she was a huge help in completing my book.**

“Emmeline Chang shepherded me through a real dark spot in my artistic life–she helped me smooth out my tangled feelings, put aside old bad habits and thought patterns, and introduced me to some excellent creative materials and techniques. She gave me a way to visualize what I wanted to feel in my work, making my goals clearer and easier to go after.

I have an agent… I make MORE money freelancing on fulfilling projects than I did at my job, and I’m writing consistently and productively.

“When I started with Emmeline, I had decided to quit my well paying job to pursue more fulfilling work, had been unable to write consistently for months, and felt as if I wasn’t making the decisions about where to take my life. Now, I can say happily that I am LIVING the good life I envisioned for myself at the start of our work together. A year later, I have an agent. I regularly work on exciting projects I believe in. I make MORE money freelancing on fulfilling projects than I did at my job, and I’m writing consistently and productively.

Emmeline’s clear-headed, creative problem-solving have helped me to stay on track, always heading toward my goals, making adjustments when necessary but always moving forward. Her advice has changed my writing habits immensely — helping me become WAY more productive than I was in the past. And our visioning sessions have been very potent, helping me clearly “steer my ship” through life decisions. And for that I’m grateful.”

Emmeline’s coaching set me on the path I am on now, working as a photographer. Her exercises still help me, and her voice is still in my head, encouraging me forward.

“I decided to work with a coach because I remembered how much I needed one for sports. Sports coaches are your cheerleader and they work you hard so you improve. Emmeline’s coaching provided steps I as an artist could take to set myself up to win, just like a coach does for their athletes. Winning encompassed many things. One aspect was getting past my fears: fear of success, fear of failure. She gave us exercises, and with weekly calls, encouraged us as we moved forward. She helped me see that I am a creative person who can be a professional photographer. For me, Emmeline’s coaching set me on the path I am on now, working as a photographer. Her exercises still help me, and her voice is still in my head, encouraging me forward. That’s a good coach.”

I’ve been writing with more consistency and feeling more confident than ever before. I’ve experienced breakthroughs and fresh ideas.

“Before working with Emmeline, I struggled with lack of momentum and consistency in showing up and prioritizing creative work. I was pushing to get it done, and feeling stuck and frustrated. Emmeline provided easy to implement habits and intelligent guidance to uncover blocks and resistance to creating and prospering. Her visualizations and meditations provided support, grounding and relief by bringing more freedom to blocked areas and shifting to a more positive and creative state.

I benefited from looking at my life in specific places and with an overall view to see and adjust pieces that were draining, disempowering or non essential.

Since working with Emmeline, ??I’ve been writing with more consistency and feeling more confident than ever before. I uncovered issues that were leading me to frustration and bad habits that were draining to my creativity and health. I’m implementing different ways to approach my creative work that are more nurturing and balanced. I still feel like I’m growing and stretching but in a kinder way. I’ve experienced breakthroughs and fresh ideas. I’ve found new ways to complete sections of my work where I felt stuck before. I also took steps that increased my income both right now and set some groundwork to continue to increase my income in the future.

Working with Emmeline made it possible for me to sustainably keep pursuing my creative goals and find balance. Even with a demanding schedule, I found ways to make it easier to prioritize and even increase my creativity. I’m grateful that I’ve found ways to prioritize and increase my creative work beyond what I thought was possible.”

Before I was just dreaming and hoping… Now I have a creative career and my own website to showcase my works of art.

“Before I started coaching with Emmeline, I felt very unhappy with my job. I’m such a creative person, but for years I had not drawn or painted or sculpted. I wasn’t being creative at all, and I also spent so much time helping people that I didn’t have time to do all the fun things I wanted to do. I felt like my goals were so complicated to accomplish, and I didn’t know where to begin.

Emmeline made the steps of changing seem effortless. She coached me in creative ways, designed for my hectic, stressful life. She helped me decide on a career change, to figure out the pros and cons. This was a daunting decision to make, but I am so much happier at work. Everyone comments on my happier out look and smile on my face. She also opened up a window for me to stand in my worth, and I made back the money I had put into the life coaching with Emmeline.

Now I have a creative career and my own website to showcase my works of art that in the past no one had seen. I am starting to create my new animated film with a Women’s Animation Group in NYC. I draw every day. It feels fantastic. Before I was just dreaming and hoping, but now I’m actually creating art, making connections, and getting people involved to help me.

When I started coaching with Emmeline, besides embracing & support my creative endeavors, I also wanted to dance, have better relationship with my boyfriend, be more social and attend outing with my friends, and travel. Now I take dancing lessons five times a week, and I feel so alive. I go out with friends more often, and I take vacations with my boyfriend. Emmeline even helped me deal with issues that were unrelated to our coaching sessions. But since there were a hurtle to overcome, she worked with me to jump over it.

Currently, I feel my life much lighter and happier since working with Emmeline in coaching sessions. The money spent on coaching sessions has been priceless. I would highly recommend using Emmeline as a life coach. She is reliable, professional, creative. Emmeline really cares about the person she coaches and gives all of herself to your life!”

Emmeline has special processes for helping you expand and stretch beyond your limitations, and what you thought possible. If you work with her, your life will never be the same. She’s rather a genius!

“I’d worked with other coaches before working with Emmeline, and made modest progress. But once I started working with Emmeline, my business really took off. Emmeline helped me to develop a high-end program and to sell it effectively. She helped me create a professional program guide that I felt proud presenting to prospective clients. But there was so much more. Emmeline has special processes for helping you expand and stretch beyond your limitations, and what you thought possible. If you work with her, your life will never be the same. She’s rather a genius!”

From the very first contact with Emmeline, magic began happening in my business. I am a big believer in support; I’ve worked with coaches in the past. This is my best experience yet.

“From the very first contact with Emmeline, magic began happening in my business. I knew I was a definite YES to work with Emmeline, but I had no idea where my investment for her program would come from. Just through what I learned in my breakthrough session with Emmeline, a client came to me and paid in full, so I was able to EASILY pay Emmeline in full!

Emmeline has an easy, firm and non-emotional way of being that is SO INSPIRING and the information she offers is super clear, and so is her way of speaking on her expertise.

I have enrolled 4 clients so far (in 3 months), this totals earning $10,148 since we began working together!!!!

I am a big believer in support; I’ve worked with coaches in the past. This is my best experience yet.

Before beginning to work with Emmeline, every time I had a call to enroll a new client, I would judge myself and it was never an easy process. I have learned to make this ‘sales’ preparation simple, and take the focus off my fears and emotions. Now I have a strategy for enrolling clients that is actually working and fun!

Before I worked with Emmeline, it was also difficult for me to stay on task. I would let my energy dictate when I would work on my business, so the important ‘stuff’ would never get done. With Emmeline, all my goals became very clear. I have learned real specifics on how many people I need to reach to reach my monthly money goals. My emotions no longer dictate whether I work on my business.

Emmeline gives her full attention and is FULLY present for our calls. She cares and it shows. I know she is rooting for me in a very real way, in between our calls as well.

She creates a space to be totally free and authentic. I never felt I had to change my way of being in order to be successful. I recommend Emmeline VERY highly, I am proud to be aligned with her.”

Increased my monthly income by 50%… I feel more satisfaction and joy because I am working exclusively with clients that are aligned with my vision.

“When I started working with Emmeline, I was splitting my time between New York, Brussels, and Seoul as a freelancer. Although it seemed glamorous on the surface, I was afraid of committing to one place or project, terrible at making decisions, and struggling with financial instability.

We worked on my vision and mission for life, and how to align all of the areas of my life with it. I identified where my strongest income streams were, and also eliminated projects that were mentally and emotionally taxing. After three months, I learned to stay open and confident about new opportunities and increased my monthly income by 50%. (I am now on track to make well over six figures this year.) But most importantly, I feel more satisfaction and joy because I am working exclusively with clients that are aligned with my vision.

During this growth, I was reminded of the importance of rejuvenating myself and approaching new experiences with a playful spirit rather than fear. I learned how to accept and explore all parts of myself. Even the inward, insecure self that I didn’t want to acknowledge. Emmeline reminded me of the importance of compassion and how a complete acceptance of myself would allow me to heal and grow from past experiences and leap to a place where I could celebrate and enjoy where I am.

After experiencing a great surge in my professional life, I started applying the learning to my personal life and see that these lessons are just as meaningful to my personal life. It is so wonderful to experience continuity, freedom, and joy in all aspects of my life.

I have always loved traveling, and am so happy to now be on this Journey to Myself, which continues to deepen and grow thanks to such a fruitful partnership with Emmeline. If fear was the predominant feeling I experienced before coaching, it is now replaced by curiosity and excitement.”

Powerful tools that let me go within to examine how I put myself and my business out into the world. I raised my prices twice… and successfully signed clients at my new rates!

“I started the JoyFULL Prosperity program just as I introduced my business, with little sense of how to put myself out into the world. The program is chock full of powerful tools that let me go within to examine how I put myself and my business in the world. I raised my prices twice over the course of the program–and successfully signed clients at my new rates!”

I learned how to get very focused and land clients with very little effort…I’ve gained a healthy relationship toward work and money, and I feel markedly more confident in business and in life.

“Before I started working with Emmeline, I didn’t truly believe I could make it out there as a freelancer/consultant/sole proprietor. Her coaching provided a healthy mix of practical advice and spiritual boost and helped me embrace the challenge and embark on this new chapter in my life with confidence and deep gratitude.

The practical advice on how to network and land clients was invaluable. Emmeline has an uncanny ability to make ‘sales’ feel organic and natural. I learned how to get very focused and land clients with very little effort.

I’ve gained a healthy relationship toward work and money, and I feel markedly more confident in business and in life. I actively carve out time each day for myself, and my physical health and mental well-being saw clear improvements.

I feel gratitude for the abundance of joy, skills, and knowledge in my life, as well as for the adventure that lies ahead. With her wonderful, consistent, valuable support, Emmeline helped me take the crucial first steps, and I can’t wait to see what else I can — and will — achieve in the near future.

I got my dream gig… AND it came with a significant pay bump and a weekly day from home… work is now FUN!

“Before I began working with Emmeline, I was dealing with a toxic work environment, an overwhelming job search, and constant “mommy guilt.” I hated my job, and it was incredibly draining to leave my son (now 2 yrs old) to be there. I felt inferior next to other moms who seemed to have it together and “do it all.” I was ready to take a pay cut and go to an organization I didn’t really care about and a team I wasn’t really impressed with just to get OUT.

Through coaching, I learned to be aware of my inner critic and gained tools for how to cope with my tendencies for self-judgment and self-doubt. Working with Emmeline helped me envision the job I wanted and reminded me that I am worthy and qualified to get the dream gig. A short while later I got it! AND it came with a significant pay bump, and a weekly day from home, which has made ALL the difference for my family. Thanks to the coaching, I didn’t settle for less and I felt confident throughout the negotiations. I am now in a wonderful work environment with a fantastic and supportive boss and management team. I can bring my whole self to work. And get this, work is now FUN.

Emmeline also helped me reconnect to my artistic side and through my creativity, regain my sense of self overall. I see tremendous changes in my health (as things felt generally easier, it became easier to see doctors and take my medications on time) and my general attitude. I am less anxious when it comes to work and feel more connected with my son and husband. Instead of thinking about all of things I “should” be doing as a mother, I just enjoy the simple things–seeing my son play in the bath or enjoy a meal I made for him etc.

I am more effective at work and at home. By moving past my doubts, I turn projects around faster. And the results are better too! Instead of feeling overwhelmed and “stuck” with my home or relationships, I learn, assess and DO. I am so appreciative for the ease I feel in my life today. With these tools and support, I feel able to continue to learn and tackle challenges as they come. Few things feel “un-doable” and for that I am deeply grateful.”

I can cultivate a sense of play… And because of this I can more effectively accomplish my goals.

“When I met Emmeline, I was struggling with life being a drag, and that all of my responsibilities felt heavy and hard. I was drawn particularly to HeartFULLives coaching because of the focus on play. I have two kids who are exploding with playful energy and sometimes, because I feel like I have so much to do, I can’t meet their energy. And that makes me feel yucky. But since I’ve been working with Emmeline, I find rather than experiencing my obligations as chores, I can cultivate a sense of play, which feels freer, lighter and more fun! And because of this I can more effectively accomplish my goals. Since I started working with Emmeline I laugh more, experience more pleasure with my family and don’t get as overwhelmed. Each session leaves me feeling motivated, excited and looking forward to the rest of the day.”

~Caitlin Fitzgordon

Working with Emmeline has turned what was only ‘possible’ into something that is actually happening.

“I am a lot less intimidated by life’s challenges now. I wake up in the morning looking forward to tackling what lies ahead instead of walking around with the sinking feeling that I will not be able to get anywhere.

After every session, I feel like a burden has been lifted and I’m moving through life more effortlessly. This might have seemed unlikely to me before I actually experienced it, but now that I’ve been doing the coaching sessions, it’s exactly how I do feel.

Working with Emmeline has turned what was only ‘possible’ into something that is actually happening. I was not able to do that on my own, so I really appreciate the coaching help. I see myself actually doing things I spent many years just hoping or wishing for.”
