EMILY JOHNSON
Coach
Nature Lover
Community Builder
I'm Emily Johnson, residing in northern MN, surrounded by lakes and trees. Spending time in nature is dear to my heart and serves as a grounding force in my life.
When I’m not outside, you can find me curled up with a good book, spending time with loved ones, caring for my plants, experimenting with new recipes, or attending live theater and music performances.
I’m also in a constant state of becoming—exploring new parts of myself and leaning into the lessons that help me step into who I want to be and how I want to show up in the world.
In 2022, I earned my Master Life Coaching certification through Transformation Academy, which opened the door to launching She Becomes Coaching. Since then, I’ve had the joy of helping women take meaningful steps toward living their boldest, most authentic lives. Together, we create clarity around their vision, break big dreams into manageable steps, and celebrate every ‘main-character’ moment along the way.
I understand that life can feel overwhelming, and sometimes it seems like the passion, purpose, or clarity you once had has slipped away. If you’ve been feeling disconnected from yourself, uncertain about where you’re heading, or stuck in a cycle of self-doubt, I’m here to help you break free.
I work with women who are ready to step into their authentic power and rewrite their story.
Areas I support most often
Feeling disconnected
Lack of confidence
Overwhelm and burnout
Fear of change
Unclear Purpose or Goals
creating & enforcing boundaries

“It truly has been so grounding and encouraging to work with you. I feel heard and seen, and it is giving my work and intentions traction!! I am very much grateful to you for my progress. You have a special way of bringing so much presence, gentleness, and generosity to your sessions yet with clear structure that supports the container. Thank you for cheering me on! Let’s keep this going!!”

“Transformation through coaching: Significant reduction in stress and anxiety. Able to use tools like weekly planning meetings, reframing to be able to take things in stride. Increased confidence and ability to promote myself and the work that I do. Prioritization of myself/self care so that I can show up as the mom, wife and leader I want to be.”

“Being surrounded by caring, interesting, open-minded people has been such a highlight the past few months. I look forward to these evenings together because it’s a no-judgment zone, it’s always insightful, and the connections with others has been surprising in the best ways.”
— abby o.
“Emily does a great job at making the environment very welcoming and comforting. I was very hesitant to join in and it took me a couple meetings to kind of settle in, but after that, its something that I look forward to every month. Having the community, and realizing that we have a lot of things in common and can relate to each other, makes it a fun place/group to be a part of. If you are questioning if this is something you should do, just join in. Try it more than once to really get a feel of it and then decide if it’s for you.”
— Brynn O.
“Adventure club exceeded my expectations! I tend to not have a great work/play balance and having Emily plan the activities made it easy to participate in a stress free manner.”
— Melissa e.
“I wasn’t sure what to expect when I signed up, but I knew I was looking for a way to meet new people after moving to the area. I enjoy outings and adventures of all sorts and this group sounded like it would fit the bill! Also, Emily is an amazing, delightful, patient and organized woman and did an incredible job getting everything organized.”
— Allison A.
“Emily is nonjudgmental and encouraging but never pushy; she is an experienced and credentialed life coach who can help any woman thrive.”

“Emily’s kind, gentle demeanor set the room at ease as she guided us through the seminar on setting boundaries. I left the evening reinvigorated, knowing I had power in both my personal and professional life by setting healthy expectations of myself and not trying to control the actions of others.”
Pam M.
“The boundary session from She Becomes Coaching is the top moment of my year (so far)! Emily put so much care and intention into the content she shared to ensure it made sense for the audience receiving the information. She facilitated an open dialogue discussion validating tough experiences while also shepherding group brainstorming for setting healthy boundaries in those situations. Her expertise is something I’m grateful we have available in our community.”
Adrianne R.
“Working with Emily was absolutely life changing. When we started I was in a place of extreme burnout at work and at home. I was struggling with how to pull myself out of it and grow myself professionally as well as personally. Emily helped me get clarity about what I wanted to achieve, set tangible goals, and gave me the tools to help me accomplish them. Her ability to listen and reframe things made me feel seen, heard, and inspired. Since working together I have established routines around self care, gained the confidence to become my biggest advocate, and am able to take challenges in stride. I am a better wife, mother, and leader because of my time with Emily. This is hands down the best investment I have ever made in myself!”
Beckie D.
“Working with Emily as my coach has been the single most important step I’ve taken to support myself goals as I work to launch my own business. By being a great listener, she is able to help me clarify my priorities. She is always compassionate, even when I’ve gone off on a tangent and she reminds me of those same priorities we just clarified. I tend to get overwhelmed by the many tasks required to accomplish my goals. Emily is expert at helping me spell out the immediate priorities. Then she helps me build a plan that I can follow to reach my goal. I know that this new career is right for me. I know I will be successful. I also know that if I didn’t have Emily coaching me, I wouldn’t be as far along as I am. Thank you, Emily!”

“I had the privilege of working with Emily for 3 months… meeting 3-4 times a month. I say the duration and intensity because I followed my intuition of what was needed at that time… and one of Emily’s gifts is creating the space for your own Self trust to emerge. She provides structure, empathy, and encouragement for your becoming. It is deep work, it’s nonlinear, and it’s unique to you and your journey. I needed space to express, to speak, to be messy, emotional, to be in process, and Emily could hold space for all of it. I came with confusion, with anger, with fear and doubt… and by the end of our time together, I have made peace with all of those emotions, coming out on the other side feeling empowered and more clear of my direction in this moment of time. I’m beyond grateful for having worked with Emily as a coach. I imagine we’ll work together again, and for now, I’m integrating the lessons, skills, and clarity that I received through our time together. Thank you!!!”
