The Sweet Spot
1:1 Beauty & Business Sessions

If you’re craving a personal reset, we can focus there. Skin, energy, rhythm, confidence.

If you’re ready to bring fresh clarity to your business, we can focus there. Structure, positioning, leadership, flow.

And if both feel connected, let’s go!

Beauty

These options are for you if your focus is personal. Your skin. Your energy. Your goals.

We look at the whole picture together. Skin, stress, movement, nourishment, lifestyle. We slow it down, make it make sense, and build a rhythm of care that actually supports you in being exactly who you want to be.

The goal is simple: to feel good in your skin, strong in your body, and confident in how you care for yourself.

Business

This is for you if you are a solo founder or a small leadership team building something meaningful.

If you love what you do but feel stretched, stuck, or alone in the weight of it, you’re in the right place. I step in as a thoughtful strategic ally. Someone who listens closely, helps you clarify what matters most, and supports you as you make progress towards your goals.

Retreats, Workshops + Speaking

  • RETREATS

    Something special for the whole room.

    Bring me in to create a thoughtful, interactive experience for your retreat or gathering, from beauty and self-care to creativity, connection, and my signature Dopamine Routine.

  • WORKSHOPS

    Interactive, useful + actually fun.

    I design workshops that give people something to think about, talk about, and take home with them. Available for teams, communities, brands, conferences, and private groups.

  • SPEAKING

    Big ideas, human conversations.

    I speak about beauty, business, creativity, entrepreneurship, reinvention, pleasure, and what I’ve learned from more than a decade of building a brand and a life around all of it.

Most coaching sessions are held remotely, creating a private space you can step into from wherever you are. If you’re in Hawaii or prefer meeting in person, we can arrange travel or in-person meetings as preferred.

Our time together is conversational, strategic, and honest. We zoom out. We connect dots. We clarify what feels tangled. Whether we’re talking skin, structure, or both, the goal is energy and confidence.

You’ll leave each session with clarity and next steps that feel doable and grounded in your real life.

For retreats, speaking engagements, workshops, and community experiences, I am happy to travel to be there in person or to join as a remote guest or host.

What to Expect


Virtual or In-Person Sessions


Support & Guidance

This is not one call and goodbye.

Depending on your partnership, you’ll receive follow-up notes, refinements, and ongoing support between sessions. Questions are welcome. Adjustments are part of the process.

The work evolves as you do.

You are not expected to figure it out alone.


Defined Scope

Clear timelines, clear expectations, and shared agreement on what we’re building together.


If you’re feeling the pull but don’t know which path is right, start with an intro call. We’ll get to know each other, clarify where you are, what feels confining, and what kind of support would feel steady and helpful.

What Clients & Partners Are Saying

“For 25 years, I was the right-hand lady in our construction company, and when it came time to retire, I felt completely overwhelmed by the process and afraid of leaving the business, my husband, and team flailing.

Emily helped me create a thoughtful, realistic plan that supported both me, my family, and the business, from training employees and organizing all the damn paperwork to helping me set my own goals and prepare myself emotionally for retirement. What once felt very frightening became natural, clear, and peaceful. She truly felt like an angel during this chapter of our lives.”

— Katherine G.

“Emily is one of the most powerful people I know.
She can lead people who ordinarily lead other people in a supportive, uplifting, and focused way. She gets shit done. And she helps leaders get shit done doing what they might have been avoiding... and that’s the real work.

For me, she made it easy. She did some heavy lifting. She didn’t make me feel any other way than I was moving the ball forward and had every hope of success.

I count her among the five people on earth I would trust with everything I have.

Regardless of what kind of company you have or what opportunities your brand or leadership team is facing, I truly believe you cannot go wrong hiring her.”

— Lynette X.

“Everything Emily touches turns to gold!
I’ve been fortunate to receive her help and expertise in streamlining my business as well as utilizing her for a few extra special projects in my personal space.

Working with Emily feels like having a strategic partner who is always three steps ahead of you.
Her insights are sharp, her execution is flawless, and she handles every challenge with a level of professionalism that is rare to find.

Things we have worked on together feel lighter and run smoother and she faces it all with a grit and enthusiasm that is absolutely contagious. I tend to get overwhelmed with the details and anytime I have asked Emily to “just take over” she absolutely delivers.

What’s most impressive isn't just the initial cleanup, but the fact that the systems she builds actually stick. She doesn't just apply a temporary fix; she creates a sustainable foundation that has allowed me to focus on growth rather than just survival. Emily doesn't just organize your business; she gives you your time back.

Whether it’s defining operational roles for a group practice or helping reclaim and redesign systems in spaces that have strayed from their purpose, she can get it done.”

— Rose E.

“I’ve worked with Emily across three different organizations and roles, and she’s one of the most invaluable partners I’ve had in each. She is equally strategic and emotionally intelligent, leveraging her organizational know-how to serve people. She sees every single person for their whole selves, while shaping a system in their service.

I’ve seen Emily navigate many tricky situations with grace. She has built an incredible capacity to handle sensitive matters with a steadiness and sureness that makes people feel seen and grounded. She also understands complex organizations and collaborates deftly with diverse stakeholders.

She is enterprising and optimistic, and always finds a way to move things forward with an inclusive approach to problem-solving. I trust her implicitly. I’ve seen her mature into her talents and skills over the span of nearly a decade, and anyone who works with her next is going to be lucky, indeed.”

— Tsilli P. 

“After having my first baby, I was so unsure how to return to work while still not feeling like myself. Before my parental leave ended, Emily came in and helped me create a thoughtful re-entry plan that supported everything from self-care and pumping schedules to childcare and communication with my family and work team.

The process was calm, supported, and manageable. I genuinely felt seen and cared for during such a vulnerable transition. And came back to work feeling and LOOKING good! She held my hand through the next 3 months back in the saddle, and we continue to check in.

If you’re looking for a partner to help you achieve what might feel like impossible, weird, or unclear goals, Emily is the best.”

— Alana M. 

“I can’t recommend this experience enough. I had a virtual consult with Cap’n Coconut during one of my rosacea flare-ups, and it completely shifted how I care for my skin.

What I loved most was how thoughtful and personalized everything felt. She didn’t just look at my skin on the surface—Emily helped me understand the deeper connection between what I’m eating, my daily habits, and how my skin responds. The custom plan she created for me, with supportive foods and easy-to-implement practices, has become something I return to again and again whenever I feel a flare coming on.

There’s such a calming, intuitive energy to the way Emily works. I left the session feeling empowered, not overwhelmed, and truly supported in a way that goes beyond just skincare. Thank you, Em!”

— Catalina G. 

“It all started with a spray tan… :)

I started seeing Emily regularly for facials and spray tans in Oregon at her super cute shop when we visited the Coast. Then I lost my father. Then I lost my husband. Within 2 years, I felt like the earth under me was just gone. My family and friends were grieving, my son was grieving, and I was supposed to know what to do. Emily has a unique perspective on grief and self-reinvention, so I reached out to her for help. I worked remotely with Emily to build a “Plan of Renewal,” as we called it.

We were able to start right away on tiny things I could do to get myself going again. I felt like we could talk about anything since she has already seen me naked! She met me wherever my energy was. We laughed a lot, and I felt relief through the process of “building my team.” She helped me find support, build a daily plan to take care of myself, and a longer-term plan based around the goals I set for myself for how I wanted to feel and move into this different life. I didn’t have to think about it, and I looked forward to every session with her.

She is such a soft place to land and is so generous with her approach. Even though Emily is a true ray of sunshine, she’s also experienced darkness and knows what it is to grieve. I was able to trust her that things would get better, and they really have. ”

— Kayla B.

“Emily's joy and positivity is only outshined by her creativity and future vision. While working with Emily, she was able to action on the immediate needs of the agency, creating a welcoming environment for the studio as a whole. Simultaneously, she kept a strong eye on the potential growth for human development; anchoring her explorations of future technologies, programs and partnerships in the needs of new and tenured team members.”
