Do life that’s so (authentically) YOU!

Welcome!
I’m Simone Eiman: a life, emotional well-being and consciousness coach.

There’s a difference between living a life of satisfaction, fulfilment and unapologetic purpose

…and living a life that barely feels like you own it,
simply going through the motions in life, business or career
as you wonder where things went so wrong.

And the difference is whether you align with your true, soul-centred self or are out of sync with who you’re here to be.

If you’re here, you’re exactly where you’re meant to be to transform your mindset, open your heart and align with the authentic expression of your higher truth – who you came here to be!

But are you still feeling stuck and not quite where you want or need to be despite DIY’ing your self-growth?

You could elevate your growth journey and navigate your path with a partner and guide to experience more fulfilment and focus on what truly matters to you.

As a soul-centred guide, with a framework that works, I can help you unlock your full potential to live a life that zings for you. You’ll be empowered to make transformative changes and unlock insights to align with the authentic expression of your higher truth by shedding old thought, belief and behaviour patterns weighing you down.

You’ll be amazed at what you can achieve when you embrace the possibilities and see what’s really possible.

What does authenticity have to do with it, I hear you ask?

Everything! Living life according to external expectations and rules stifles our authentic flames. We each have a unique design, a specific energetic signature. So shaping yourself to conform to others’ expectations and rules keeps you out of alignment. This is where self-doubt and criticism come in: we are not always sure if we’re meeting or breaking the norms and expectations so we rather play small and hold back.

To be more self-aware (the light and shadow spaces), emotionally resilient and confident in who you truly are, you must shed the layers of social conditioning. If you believe you need to follow the norms or not rock the boat and everything will be OK, you remain WHO YOU WERE CONDITIONED TO BE – the self-sacrificing, people-pleasing, second-guessing, self-critical, procrastinating self. Through this, you withhold your true expression of your essence from the world.

But if you’re ready to rock the boat anyway…

… and change the quality of your expression in your life, this means you are aligning to a higher truth of:

  • Appreciating that life is not about being perfect, but acknowledging continuous growth as a step closer to where you want to be.
  • Living with a confidence that radiates from knowing your worth.
  • Forgiving, accepting and loving yourself unconditionally.
  • Recognising your inherent worth through deep self-awareness – you’re always good enough.
  • Stop feeling pressured to meet others’ expectations and constantly needing to prove yourself.
  • Enjoying inner peace, freedom and a fulfilling soul-aligned life by letting go of fears and feelings of inadequacy.

You’re still struggling to be and live all that…

…because the baggage of the past and life as you know it is still getting in the way and you may be:

  • Starting and restarting the same goals only to fall back into old patterns and you just can’t figure out why. Thinking: I’ll start next Monday, next…

  • Doubting yourself and constantly needing to prove or improve yourself by pursuing goals others perceive to be valuable (education, jobs, relationships, etc).

  • Emotionally oversensitive/reactive and avoiding truth or confrontation at all costs.

  • Repressing your own needs, emotions, and desires by taking hasty actions and regretting decisions later.

  • Relentlessly pursuing perfection and comparing to others because you feel undervalued. Thinking: I will be worthy/perfect when…

  • Over-analysing things and feeding the negative internal chatter (stuck in the mind) or overthinking and rewinding past events on repeat.

  • Struggling with personal boundaries and the guilt or fear of saying ‘No’.

I see you’re nodding along as you’re reading this; keep going…

These are the signals of what’s stopping you and indicating that you’re out of alignment with the authentic expression of your higher truth. There is a way to break free and I can help you pave the way for your empowered journey ahead. Through my process, we work through releasing the limiting patterns and perspectives that keep you out of alignment with your true self and accessing the parts of you that help keep you aligned.

You’re not alone on this journey. I get it, believe me.

When I started my self-discovery journey I struggled with low self-esteem, fear of expressing myself, emotional reactivity and very little confidence as a result. But with help, I started seeing my true self and my worth. It was not easy to face all my “stuff”, but my coach created the space I needed to go there.

Releasing the baggage of the past did not go to waste. Instead, it was the catalyst that made my magic happen. It offered me a way to integrate deep learning and transformation instead – pushing through anger, resentment, overwhelm, people-pleasing, feeling stuck and lacking purpose and direction.

Now I live my life on my terms: understanding my unique design and how to use my innate strength and wisdom to push through whatever comes my way.

I really want that for you too!

As founder of Emerald Connection Life Coaching, I’m on a mission.

Working with clients to create new ways of being is my passion – ways that set them free from the shoulds and shouldn’ts that stifle authentic expression. It absolutely lights me up when clients break through restrictive and outdated social conditioning patterns and calibrate with the frequency of their higher truth.

My self-discovery journey over the past 3 decades has allowed me to create my Perfectly-You framework that helps clients shift their perspectives, thought and behaviour patterns, which help them take meaningful action in their lives. I value authenticity and believe that each of us MUST find our true self – our true worth. Being Perfectly You is not negotiable: it’s only from this place that your life can have meaning and impact.

While I was a bit hesitant at first to sign up with a life coach as I thought it might be like traditional therapy, I was drawn to Simone because of the kindness and respect shown to me. She really took the time to understand me and provide me with the best guidance.  Through her empathy and ability to just really make me feel safe and to be able to be vulnerable and not feel judged, I felt supported, seen and heard.

I really appreciate everything Simone has done for me. She helped me face some really uncomfortable emotions and situations and I’ve been able to navigate that so much better now.  In the end, I became a better version of myself that is able to navigate life a lot easier.

When I began coaching with Simone, I was feeling very frustrated with and unclear about my business. I knew I wanted to make changes, but was completely lost about what.
Simone has been incredible in guiding me to tap into what my heart is saying, and in helping me get clear about what I want. She has taught me to trust my inner compass.
Simone has such a warm, gentle way which makes you feel completely heard and understood. It is so easy to trust and open up to her. And it’s been such a blessing to have her unique perspective on things.

I highly recommend Simone’s coaching. Working with her has been a beautiful, valuable, and amazing experience!

My decision to hire Simone as my life coach was influenced by her reputation as a reliable life coach, who is keen to listen and who offers life-changing strategies to help you navigate your personal life. I was hesitant at first to invest in a life coach because I thought that the challenges I faced weren’t serious enough to engage the services of a life coach. Personally, trusting a stranger with personal issues has been a great barrier for me in the past. But, it was worth it in the end. Simoné helped me identify the barriers which were preventing me from achieving a number of goals I’ve been failing to reach for years.

She helped me along by asking the right questions. The best thing for me is that she left me to come up with the answers by myself. I felt safe and trusted Simoné. She is a consummate professional who always sees the bigger picture and is able to lean on a wealth of personal experience. She truly cares about your happiness. I looked forward to my weekly sessions. It became like a regular chat with an old friend who always has your back.

I think one of the things that surprises me most about my life coaching experience, is that the journey does not stop when my session has ended, in fact, that is when her magic truly reveals itself. It feels almost impossible not to implement the insights and learnings I’ve had through the questions and discussions with Simone. My self-discovery and journey toward the future I want becomes more tangible with each session. All of a sudden the avenues I have so far explored, from therapy sessions, to self-help books, and a plethora of esoteric pursuits have been ditched or shelved – they have proved very temporary and superficial thus far and have brought me no closer to my “Nirvana”.

I have a strong sense of accountability or rather excitement because I can feel her cheering me on – I have someone on team-Nanieve. Someone whose guidance I trust implicitly, she shares my joy with each little victory I make. Who would have thought cynical me could still “course correct” at the age of 53. I am so excited about what lies ahead. Wouldn’t want a better guide on this journey called life.

The compassion and trust which I experienced through my sessions with Simone, have given me the courage to believe in myself. To know that “I am good enough”, and to realise that what I believed, can be changed.

It has opened my eyes to numerous possibilities on this new journey.

I never thought that I would have a life coach, I guess I didn’t see the need. However, my experience with Simone Eiman as my life coach was a mind shifting one. I started seeing and thinking about life a little differently. The first difference being that I was able to do something I was unable to do for almost 15 years. Not only was I doing what I needed to do for my health but for my family’s as well.

An important learning from my sessions with Simone, is taking baby steps towards your goal is more doable and once you feel that achievement, it encourages you to keep on going – consistency is key. And if you fall off the bandwagon, it’s ok, you can get back on again and try again. Simone’s approach is very caring and honest but at the same time she is able to push you so that you get over the barriers in your life to be a better version of yourself. I recall always having a WOW moment in my sessions, where I would just have to take a moment and absorb it all.

Thank you for providing the space for me to meet and get to know MEMy journey started off as sessions that guided me towards discovering and cultivating my passion, but soon led to a never-ending journey of self-discovery, awareness and finally acceptance and appreciation. I articulated my true values and I learned to recognise my purpose in life. I learned that if I wanted to break the cycle of the impact one’s conditioning and childhood experiences have on one’s development, I had to be that change that I wanted to experience.

Our sessions provided a safe space that allowed me to be vulnerable and helped me to cultivate (and maintain) a mindset where:  I trust my intuition;  I love and accept myself as I am;  I am enough; I accept people for who they are without wanting to change them; I focus on the present; I view ‘setbacks’ as learnings instead of failures. My journey is nowhere near its end, the path taken to reach this milestone in my life has been invaluable. Thank you, Simone.

My coaching experience with Simone was amazing. She was so attentive and really made you feel that nobody else mattered when chatting with her. Her insight and different perspectives on various subjects, whether work or personal, were so insightful.

She helped me overcome many self-limiting barriers that prevented me from achieving my goals. I’m forever grateful for our sessions and definitely achieved my desired outcomes and more from these sessions. I can visualise future goals easier as I have now experienced what it feels like to achieve my goals.

Here are answers to some of the questions you might still need a bit more clarity on:

A life coach is a collaborative partner. Your life coach will help you on your life journey by holding you accountable. This means challenging you to always bring your A-game. As a result, you maintain continuous forward motion to reach the outcomes that you have set for yourself. Also, the life coach helps you uncover the obstacles that hinder your journey. The life coach also helps you to use your strengths and talents to enable the life you want. See a life coach as a cheerleader supporting you through your transformation process, the voice of reason and some who offers a different perspective.

It may be that at this point your desire to change is greater than your desire to maintain the status quo of your life. So anyone who has a desire to change and needs help through their transformation journey, hires a life coach. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, frustrated or going through a life transition, a life coach can help you. If you’re looking for help redefining your mindset and patterns, a life coach can help you with that too.

Yes you can and no you don’t.
The life coach can help you find direction through various tools, processes and techniques. With the coach’s guidance you create your own plan with specific actions to get you where you want to be.
If you already have a plan or general direction that you want to work towards, the coach helps you refine your plan and you build in your actions that will get you there.

It’s quite the opposite really: by recognising that you need professional help in certain, or many or even all aspects of your life, shows real courage and maturity.

So while you may “feel like a failure”, recognising that there is room for improvement will get you far. We feel like failures because we can’t / struggle to live up to OTHERS’ or society in general’s expectations.

This journey will allow you to discover and experience, amongst many other things:

  • Elevated self-awareness
  • A positive self-image and confidence
  • Clarity about what you want to achieve in your life
  • Identify and develop your hidden talents and abilities
  • Identify and remove obstacles blocking your progress
  • Improved self-confidence
  • Improve your career path
  • Mind-set mastery fueling positive growth and transformation
  • Identify personal and professional goals with manageable plans/strategy
  • Purpose driven – be deliberate about the decisions you make
  • Conscious living and greater satisfaction in life
  • Increased Life balance / work-life balance
  • Improved relationships and communication skills
  • Connect to your soul purpose and sharpen your passion
Certainly not. If you are fully committed to your empowerment and transformation process, life coaching will help you grow into your greatness and connect with who you truly are. This process involves peeling back layers of conditioning, limiting assumptions, a misaligned value system and the negative rules that we employ in our lives.  Consequently, you are free and empowered to achieve whatever you set your mind to.

A life coach is not a psychiatrist, psychologist or therapist of any kind that provides treatment for mental health issues such as depression, substance abuse or any other related issues. Life coaches are trained to facilitate your growth and transformation through specific tools, processes and practices. These help you evaluate your mindset and identify and overcome the obstacles that you are struggling with. Please seek out a trained mental health practitioner if you feel you need help with a serious problem.

If a client is working with a psychologist or counsellor, they may also work with a life coach in conjunction. Each of these focus on very specific dimensions of the person and can actually work quite well together for the client.

Life coaches do not dispense or prescribe medication.

Although face to face engagements are preferred by most people, online coaching engagements have many benefits. These include:

  • Clients can engage from any geographic location in the world.
  • The client can remain in an environment most comfortable to them – i.e. their home or even at the office.
  • The costs are much lower for both client and coach and stress resulting from traffic and other factors is minimal.

Because life coaching is a “non-physical” engagement, great success can be achieved virtually. With life coaching being a conversation between client and coach, only the face to face presence is missed, not the results.
