Passionate About Unleashing Your Epicness

Life is so many things, your roles in life encompass so much and often we can lose who we are along the way. I called this "don't put me in a box" because I was so fed up with the whole one size fits all approach to so much. Lots of general questions I'm asked comes with the answer "it depends" because it really does. I pour all my experience & expertise into creating principles that can inspire change AND I work with individuals to create bespoke action plans to make magic happen!

This Is Me

Hey, I'm Emma


I was taught that this page was designed to prove my “credibility”. I’m not so sure! Am I credible? Well, I think before we even get into that you need to know a little bit more about me, what makes me tick and whether or not you resonate with me. I’m Emma Holmes. Let me tell you a little bit about me. I am the mum of two lovely (well most of the time) little people, Jack and Maggie, and wife to a professional hero (sounds better than works for the Fire Service PLUS I reckon his ego quite likes the professional hero tag too).

I'm A Little Bit Sweary

fair warning! I'm not adverse to the odd f word!

 Well you have been warned! 

I’m not adverse to the odd sweary word (or sentence enhancer).  I pinky swear it’s not for effect and I don’t use the worse word (I think you know what I mean 😉) BUT do be prepared for the frivolous use of the word bullshit and the more than occasional F bomb.

Meet Knob Dog - this is Polly

Like a regular dog but more of a knob!

This is my little rescue pup, Polly.  Polly is (as you might have guessed from the image) a little teacup Jack Russell Terrier.  She certainly does have small dog syndrome and she has had me Social Distancing since before it was cool 😎 as she has a feisty AF attitude to other animals.  

If you join me on any live videos you will certainly hear Polly even if you don’t see her.

  • Here’s a little feedback that’s fallen by my way this morning… I feel like I’ve changed so much during the past couple of weeks, and just this morning I was talking to a friend on the phone and she said that I have changed massively, I was so happy when she said that! My mindset is totally different, I’ve become a doer rather than an overthinker, I’m more cheerful, I get up in the morning ready to take on the world, and I’m taking things in my stride rather than getting stressed. I honestly never thought I could feel like this, I thought I was destined to be an anxious overthinker forever! I’m sleeping much better, a consistent 7.5 hours a night, I’ve lost 4lb so far and I do not feel deprived, I’ve eaten all the things I love – I’ve still eaten bread!! I’ve followed weight loss plans in the past and I’ve always had to make a choice between cereals or bread unless I commit a “sin” …..now I have both and don’t give it a second thought 😃 my relationship with food is so much better, I no longer have the guilt when I have a little treat with my afternoon brew! I just feel so much healthier, I almost feel lighter! I’m so pleased I found you Emma, you’re exactly what I need in my life! Xxx

  • Emma is one of the few people I’ve ever met who can meet me on every level, and be able to nudge, encourage and kick my ass at all of them. She has an ability to help cut through the nonsense, and provide exactly what’s needed to grow and support myself, just when I need it. A never ending source of guidance and actionable steps forward – I highly recommend having Emma in your corner.

  • For several months I’ve been struggling with trying to put weight on. I know that seems a strange thing to want to do but after having lost a lot of weight unintentionally, and partly owing to acid reflux which has changed my eating habits, I had gotten to the point where I hadn’t really got anymore weight to lose.
    A lot of focus always seems to be on how to lose weight so I found it difficult to know how to gain weight in a healthy way…..this is where Emma stepped in!
    I told Emma my background, what I was currently eating, and my activity level and she gave me lots of advice about how often I should be eating, and the type of foods to be eating to help me gain some weight. This really helped as I’m very conscious of not eating a lot of the wrong foods that would help me put weight on, but would not be good for my overall health.
    With Emma’s help, I am now eating more regularly throughout the day, and gradually increasing my portion size. I’m pleased to say that within a month of first speaking to Emma I had gained 3lb, I felt very different in my clothes, and I’m sleeping much better too. The help Emma has given me has been invaluable and I’m looking forward to seeing my future progress.

  • "Emma delivered a masterclass in my membership about health and wellness in businsess As busy business owners (especially women) - we can put ourselves last on the to-do list and pecking order. Emma took us all on a journey focusing on how to supercharge our energies in business - sharing valuable hints and tips that make a difference to how we feel and ultimately show up in our businesses. Emma is a vibrant and energetic speaker - who has a knack of sharing truth bombs with love and insight. Thank you for an amazing session.

  • "I approached Emma and asked her to speak at our Dandelion Child Mental Health Conference in April 2024. Emma delivered a first class session which was brilliantly set up, delivered and closed. Emma's personality and delivery had both the audience laughing, reflecting and asking questions. She was approachable, encouraged the audience to consider how we support child nutrition in approachable ways and gave them the 'why' to their 'how'. She moved away from the standard 'Eat Well Plate' approach and instead gave them nutritional information which was packaged in a digestible format with excellent notes to take home. My only criticism is that she could not speak all day, as there was just so much more I would have loved to have her talk about and dive into!'

What you need to know

Let’s just check in with what you can expect here..

What ya won’t get here…

THIS IS A POLISHED PERFECTION BOLLOCKS FREE ZONE!!

This is real life people, doing real life things. This is not aspirational content but inspirational.

Yeah, there might be the occasional filter used every now and then if I look like I would perhaps cause you a fright but other than that I will be sharing with you tips and advice that are applicable in the real world. I will be sharing people’s stories who are also totally relatable and real.

So much stuff out there doesn’t take into account so many different factors and I know that lots of elements fail to resonate.
