Ditch the Self-Diagnosis, Obsession with Healing & Shaming Your Sensitivity.
We do not do emotional work so that we can be happy all the time, live our best life, or avoid pain. Sensitive women tend to over-explain or clutch to identities to relieve themselves of the stigma 'being sensitive' has in this numb-ass world. No more.
This series will support you to increase your emotional range so you can deal with what comes up in the right way for you, process emotional turmoil that comes from feeling over-extended and over-stimulated.
This is a war against femininity, we're at the front-lines - un-shaming sensitivity. In fact..it's time to be fu&king proud of it how deep you feel because it's a HUGE part of YOU.

Understand The Waves of Emotion, Internal Conflict and Self-Criticism.
Pleasure is the remedy to that internal critic. Allowing yourself to feel good in the present moment is an art-form. You deserve your life to be filled with joy and deep-belly satisfaction. So, let's do that.
When we make pleasure as important in our healing journey as 'processing trauma', huge shifts happen.
We'll unpack how normal it is to have emotional changes, to use emotions to guide your day (and other people), meeting yourself where you're at rather than pushing yourself. This is where you un-burdon yourself to act happy all the time 'like a woman should'.

See Your Challenges & Pain in Different Light (One That FEELS Lighter)
As women we are so equipped to process challenges. Our body is designed to shed emotions, stories and experiences NATURALLY. This incredible competence has been over-ridden (just a bit!).
Maybe you have been on a 'healing' journey for ages. Yet, those old emotions are still haunting you. This is where we create a new relationship with pain - one where you don't have to 'get over' anything.
When you approach pain in this way it creates space in your life, the challenges are less debilitating and instead become part of your story that shape beauty in your life. This is how real every-day gratitude is felt.

Shift The Way You React, Respond & Over-Analyse Relationships With Others
As sensitive women we need to understand how to respect people's capacities for emotional sharing, feeling and co-regulation.
When you can hold your own emotions, you create more loving connections with others too (the kind you crave more of) because you know the truth of your heart and are not afraid to share that. Vulnerability breeds vulnerability.
The practices taught will help you choose different responses in all your relationships so that old dynamics shift, new connections are formed and you feel more at peace in all of them - hey, maybe even have more fun!

So, here’s the school promise: Join us for the first workshop and feel it out.
If it doesn’t land, you’ll get a full refund and I’ll send you the Emotional Literacy course (usually $67) as a parting gift, to help with the grief of wasting your time.
I trust this space. I’m sure you’ll love it and I want you to feel completely safe to dive in and give it a shot.
At the core of it all is your desire to love and be loved (BY YOURSELF).
THE PARTICULARS - WHAT TO EXPECT IN THE COURSE
The Information & Specific Skills for Women
Sensitive women feel everything so deeply. Often we overthink and explain our way through emotional hiccups without understanding what is really happening. It is incredibly common to have "coping" mechanisms to dull emotions (sensitivity) like eating disorders, body dysmorphia, anxiety, over-giving / keeping extremely busy (hello tick-lists) and so on..
To fully feel our emotions is a skill that requires a strong body and mind, the ability to be with pleasure AND pain links into our ability to embody healthy masculine and feminine energy too. I'm guessing that was never explained to you in school or by your parents?
We're in an era now where women are stepping into their emotions as a powerful guide for themselves and other. This is what creates authentic relationships, life satisfaction and deep intimacy. This course is about building confidence and repairing your relationship with your own emotions - so you can stop collapsing and coping, instead just be the real you.
There's a saying "when someone asks you to stop being so sensitive, they're asking you to stop being yourself".
The Schedule (10 Sessions)
Start: Tuesday 13th January
All further sessions: Wednesday 14th January - Wednesday 18th March
*all sessions are at 6PM (AEST - Brisbane)
You’ll learn to increase your emotional vocabulary so that it's less confusing what you feel and how to self-soothe.
You'll start to see vulnerable emotions as a path to intimacy not something to hide.
We’ll practice letting feelings speak louder than words, moving emotions in line with your body's capacity (which will also increase over the weeks).
Other workshops and practices will be:
feeling safe by letting yourself experience more joy,
removing embarrassment over "too much" energy,
less over-explaining and more seeing relationships for what they are,
letting deep belly satisfaction be your goal and,
processing feminine anger/grief that's hiding in the corners.
Learn With Women Who Want Change
One of the best things about group courses is the women. Women who are like you - wanting to learn, grow and try something new..together. It's here you get to practice being messy, correcting yourself, laughing and not-knowing ...together.
You get to see yourself reflected back in other women's stories, challenges, needs and hearts. It's so damn healing and so damn necessary.
In every live session you'll have a change to chat, ask questions and share. Plus we have a designated group chat to connect in between sessions.
+ BONUS Access to The Self-Love Series
A 6-part journey for sensitive women to soften their inner critic and relate to themselves with more compassion.
In this mini course, we explore how to break free from self-abandonment, tear down your protective walls and release the habit of showing love without feeling it.
With workshops on the rebellious act of loving yourself and your body, committing to your nervous system and practicing devotion to feminine energy.
+ BONUS 1:1 Welcome Session with Emily
This is a powerful starting point to not only welcome and love on you..but also for me to attune to what you need. In this half hour session we'll get clear on where you’re at NOW, what’s feeling tender or stuck, and what you most want from the course.
What WOMEN Say About thIS WORK
Now, happiness is overflowing out of my eye balls. You've helped me change my life forever.
I used to ignore my body to the point of burn out and my mind was always so busy with what 'needed doing'. Now I am able to create space for myself and that makes me feel calm and more in touch with what is truly important to me.
None of the quick fixes actually addressed the problem that I had underlying around issues with food. Now, I've learned other strategies instead of using food, that's been a big game changer for me.
I'm a mum and how I am affects how my children will grow up and their confidence. So for me, it was a no brainer that I had to do something to become more confident and to love my body so they can love their bodies. I'm really glad I did it because I had nothing to lose and I've gained so much. - EMMA LOVE
I’ve begun to heal my issues with rejection/abandonment as I’m working with these parts to not abandon them and therefore myself. Through this work I’ve also built a deeper relationship with my adult or higher self and this part of me is able to come online more.
Using IFS I have found it easier to get to the core issue as I’m directly speaking to a part, am able to build trust and I always feel relief and a lightness in my body after this practice.
Day to day it’s helpful in me noticing what parts are popping in and has given me a way of not getting stuck into my thoughts as much.. - LIZZIE TIMCKE
I've been doing inner work for nearly 20 years and chose to come to the school due to the offer of practice and relational experience (healing), knowing I didn't have this in my life, I have great girlfriends who are mighty spiritual, yet I didn't have a dedicated space/community to practice and have the opportunity for relational healing often.
Your school meant that I would have that space in my life to do the practice, and it is as you say, if you show up, it does change your life sweetly. Thank you for doing what you do. - JODIE WALKER
I feel like I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be. Knowing I have a place where I feel understood without even try to explain myself it's a HUGE relief and it is SO empowering.
Thank you for creating a space allows me to be vulnerable and overcome my fears with trust. - ELENA CAPUTO
Now I can feel, really FEEL, and express and know it's okay. I’m not eating my feelings any more. When I’m having a really tough day the daily practices have taught me ways of feeling comfortable in it. I'm changing and experiencing things for the first time ever in my life and I really like learning online. It’s more comfortable for me and so easy. I love that we have women from all over Australia.
I liked how you broke up the content. It comes together really simply. I’ve never felt overwhelmed. If you’ve got any questions you can wait until the live sessions and ask or tap into the Facebook group.
I’m so grateful that you started this work. I can’t thank you enough and that you’re so passionate about this. You do want to help every woman one by one if you have to. You’re so committed to this work and genuinely want to see every woman in the world grow. - LIA WHELAN
It's mind-blowing to hear myself being explained so well. I love everything about the school and what you teach.
The curriculum is perfect and love seeing progress in myself that falls down to my boys too, it's awesome. I’m really grateful. I love it. - JAIME SIM
Emily is someone who I turn to without hesitation, for any questions or advice on virtually anything.
I’ve never met someone more like sunshine and positive energy personified than Emily, and this comes through so beautifully in her teachings and all that she offers, which is so, so much. I can’t recommend her enough. - ANNA ROSE
I have learned to to pay attention to what my heart is telling me/focusing on.
For me I have learnt to pay attention to what my body is saying to me. I realised that it's not between right and wrong, but what is the lesson? That I am the author of my life. I discovered some hidden and not so hidden patterns/traits eg. always putting others first and not making time for myself.
You guided me through a very stressful and chaotic time in my life and helped me to learn about myself and gain new practices. I really do appreciate the time we spent together and the journey that we shared. Thank you. - JOHANA NG
I love the consistency - there’s enough that I don’t feel pressure but it still holds me in a rhythm I can return to.
This is the first space I’ve felt like the commitment comes from me, not from obligation, because I spent money or for my kids. It’s because I want to pour into myself. - CERYS WILSON
I've been doing A LOT of my own but I've been learning so much that I hadn't come across before.
I really needed the extra support to help stabilise my nervous system and reclaim my sensitivities.
It's been really nice to be held in a group container and Emily's knowledge is JUST AMAZING. She's just got great energy. So, highly recommend. - RHEANNAN CURTIS
From the bottom, the top, the back and the middle of my heart…….Thank you!
It was a spectacular session last night. Thank you so much. I would love to share with you, the positive impact you are having...
You named a part of me yesterday that is a part of me that has driven so much in my life, yet, because I couldn’t access the word isolation, I couldn’t connect to that painful part. The work you do is AMAZING!" - ANNA PAGE
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How the school works (and what happens when you join).
What is the School For Sensitive Women?
The school is an online membership for women who feel deeply, think deeply, and want to live in a way that honours their sensitivity. We hold live workshops, embodiment practices, journaling sessions, and grounded tools to support emotional regulation, self-trust, and healthy relationships.
This school was created as a resting place for sensitive women. A place where we can hang out, learn and grow together.
Being completely online allows you to tap into what you need when you need it. We have multiple live sessions every month plus a huge library of past classes and skills for you to learn.
What if I want to try before I commit?
You are welcome to enrol in our courses separately to the membership. That means you can sign up for a theme you love for $300-500 and really experience the goodness.
Then, if you want to continue with us - just jump into the membership and be a part of this community for life. Attend as much or as little as you need! (hopefully we see you A LOT!)
What do I get in the lifetime membership vs single courses?
The lifetime membership has everything: every past workshop, Whatsapp group access, continual live sessions and practices as the themes unfold in the school.
If you enrol in the 2-3 month courses you'll have access to that course content and the Whatsapp group for the duration of the theme.
Hit me up if you need clarification on that! [email protected].
Who is this for?
This school is for women who want support managing their emotions, understanding their body, and building a more grounded relationship with themselves.
We attract lovers. Women who want to be there for others and love their life every single day.
You don’t need to be advanced or have any background in healing work. You just need a willingness to show up, be curious, and go at your own pace.
How much time does it take?
You get to go at your own pace. Some women join the live sessions consistently, others dip into the recorded library when they feel called. There’s no falling behind here.
What if I can’t make the live sessions?
No stress at all - every session is recorded and saved in your private library. You’ll have access to everything, and you can revisit practices as often as you like.
Is this therapy?
No. While the work is therapeutic, the School is not a substitute for therapy. It’s a community space with coaching, embodiment, and energy tools designed to support your nervous system, emotions, and self-expression.
What do workshops include?
Each workshop is based around a different theme. They include practices for your mental, emotional and physical body. Including psychic development skills and intuitive tools to tap into your own guidance.
The goal is to provide the information, tools and support so you can begin to feel more and more confident in your sensitive body.
In each workshop you will find both spiritual and scientific frameworks to draw upon. Bringing a balanced perspective to self growth which is inclusive, empowering and un-biased.
There is also opportunity to ask questions so you can receive more personalised guidance.
How do I access the school content?
When you sign up you'll receive a welcome email. This will include details to log onto the membership site.
Your content is laid out in an easy-to-navigate format including links to all live sessions, a calendar to keep track of what's on and all replays to watch back anytime.
All times and dates for live sessions will be posted in the membership platform at the beginning of each month. You'll also receive email reminders.
Sessions will mostly occur on Wednesday evenings (AEST).
All sessions will be recorded so that's absolutely fine if you can't make it live. The experience will be different if you're live or on the replay.. trust they will both hold the exact medicine you need.
What makes this different from other memberships or courses?
This is a space designed specifically for sensitive women. It’s not about hustling for healing or “getting over” your feelings. It’s about honouring your emotional truth and learning how to feel safe inside your own body. No performance. No pressure. Just practice and presence.
Plus, the women make it different. Friendship - if you choose to invest and receive it.
Do you offer refunds?
So, here’s the school promise: Join us for the first class and feel it out. If it doesn’t land, you’ll get a full refund and I’ll send you the Emotional Literacy course (usually $67) as a parting gift, to help with the grief of wasting your time.
I trust this space.
I’m sure you’ll love it and I want you to feel completely safe to dive in and give it a shot.
It was your infectious laugh that made me join the school.
Because when you laugh it's so beautiful and genuine and it makes me laugh. I feel honoured to be part of the school. It's my trusted space for expression, I feel safe, heard and feel validated and I feel like we all matter. At the end of the day, no matter what we have or haven’t done, we're all worthy of love.

"I never thought I’d be confident in my body. Ever."
I used to have a lot of social anxiety. Now I feel like I’m a gift to people, I’m worthy.
I’ve taken the pressure off myself to exercise to be happy and eat to be happy. It feels amazing. I feel free.
