Hello, everyone! I’m Emma ❤️
I was born in Barcelona and have called Portugal home for the past 5 years. My path here has been anything but linear, and I’ve come to see that as one of my biggest strengths. I spent over 25 years as a teacher, starting with preschoolers, then training in Montessori and founding a bilingual Montessori nursery at 28. Later I moved into teaching English to adults, specializing in in-company training. Alongside my career, life was teaching me its own lessons. I married at 22, had my son at 24, and divorced at 27. I’ve always been driven, curious, and hungry to grow, and even in my early twenties I knew there was more to life than working hard to pay the bills. I wanted to understand myself, my relationships, and what real fulfillment looked like. Years later, in a second marriage that also wasn’t right for me, I decided to train as a nutritionist; health has always fascinated me. At the same time, I started personal therapy with a Gestalt therapist, mostly to help me figure out whether to stay married or not. Three months in, I knew: Gestalt was my calling. I walked away from nutrition school and spent the next 3 years training as a Gestalt therapist. It changed everything. I’ve now been a therapist for 10.5 years, and I truly found my ikigai. Working 1:1 showed me how powerful this work is and also how limited my impact could be one client at a time. So I set out to build a group program that could reach more women. I’ve been developing it for the past 3 years; the women who’ve been through it have loved it, and I haven’t yet cracked how to bring it to a bigger group. I know in my bones this work can transform hundreds of lives — that’s the mission I’m here to fulfill. 🙏

Right now, what would be most helpful for me is learning how to create really successful META ad campaigns. Basically reaching the right clients. The new META algorithm is difficult to crack for me.
Growth & Business Development Support for Female founders
Hi ladies! 👋 Many of you already have a strong offer - what's often missing is the time, the words, or the energy to actually market it and win clients. That's exactly where I would love to come in. As I was in this position before to gather not just insights, but customers for a newly built product(and know how hard it can be) but am exactly that networking and inquisitive type with some 15+ years in business development including a lot of outreach, partner, market & customer development, I love to sell products and services, that I would buy myself and can help you turn a proven offer into reliable client streams. Whether you're entering a new phase of your business, navigating the shift from side hustle to full-time self-employment needing an accountability partner or simply need someone to take that cold acquisition call off your plate, I am quite intrigued by it all. My proposal at a glance: 🔹 Market Clarity Sprint - A focused strategy workshop to sharpen your target audience, positioning, and market opportunity 🔹 Pipeline Starter - A setup sprint with a target contact list, outreach messaging, and channel strategy, lead management automation 🔹 Pipeline Partner - Ongoing operational support over several months: I handle outreach, follow-up, and appointment setting For everyone in this community, feel free to DM me or connect via LinkedIn if you'd like to learn more. Looking forward to connecting ✨
