Empowerment Through Songwriting, Somatic Healing, and Music

Helping people of all ages reconnect with themselves and others through the transformative power of music, self-expression, and somatic healing.

Healing, Growth, and Connection Through Music

Are you a parent searching for new ways to support your teenager as they navigate stress, overwhelm, and anxiety?

Are you someone seeking to heal and grow through creative and somatic practices like vocal expression and songwriting?

Are you a professional looking to inspire resilience, inclusivity, and empowerment in your team?

Music is the key to transformation.

From guiding teenagers to process their emotions through songwriting, to helping individuals heal through somatic vocal coaching, to delivering music-infused keynotes for organizations, my work is rooted in the belief that creativity and the body’s natural wisdom can foster resilience, connection, and growth.

— About Me

Hi, I’m Emma G. It’s an honor to connect with you!

As a 2x TEDx speaker, empowerment coach, somatic healing vocal coach of almost 20 years, and award-winning singer-songwriter, my mission is simple: to save the world one song at a time.

  • Through Empowerment Coaching, I help teenagers—and anyone seeking healing—find clarity and confidence by identifying and expressing their emotions through songwriting and creative self-expression.
  • As a Somatic Healing Vocal Coach, I help individuals reconnect with their breath, voice, and body to release tension, build confidence, and process emotions in a healthy and transformative way.
  • As a Keynote Speaker, I combine storytelling and original music to deliver engaging presentations that inspire resilience, leadership, and inclusivity in organizations and teams.
  • With my Original Music, I write and perform songs on healing, social justice, community, and self-love, inspiring others to embrace growth and empowerment.

Drawing from my diverse ethnic lineage and Pasifika roots, I integrate cultural values of connection, respect, and reciprocity into everything I do. Whether guiding teenagers through the challenges of adolescence, coaching individuals toward healing, or helping organizations foster empowered teams, my approach is always authentic, creative, and grounded in the transformative power of music and the mind, body and spirit’s natural ability to heal.

I am a professional singer & songwriter

Here is what they have to say about me
We’ve been lucky enough to have EmmaG perform at a variety of events over the last several years and she never disappoints. From earnest originals to popular covers, Emma offers something for everyone including the little ones, always being sure her shows work for them as well. She engages with the audience and they respond with adoration -- our audiences love her. In addition to being a wonderful performer, she's a pleasure to work with, always arriving on time and prepared for the show. We hire a lot of performers and there's often some hand-holding required, but we've never had the slightest issue with EmmaG -- when I see her listed on a lineup I know that's at least one artist I won't have to worry about.

Thanks! We were enthralled with Emma G’s performance at Hard Rock Cafe New Orleans. Not only was she great to work with leading up to the performance, her energy was perfect and she engaged with our teen guests by bringing them on stage to perform with her! The guests will remember this one-of-kind experience for a lifetime. We hope to have Emma G and her team on the Hard Rock Cafe stage again!

Had a lovely performance by Emma G., accompanied by a drummer. They performed a total of 3 sets and the guests enjoyed them greatly. She gave birthday shout-outs, took requests from her extensive repertoire. She walked around between each set, as well, and made sure guests were having a great time!

We met at the Buzz conference today! I lingered behind to let you know we want to use your song Together We Rise to end the conference.
You made a difference this afternoon! Thank YOU!
I was asked last week to share my superpower— it took your session to help me uncover my superpower! Thank YOU!
Go forth and do what you were meant to do — a river guide for souls and hearts.
PS ordering your book on Amazon! And your music on Bandcamp!

Emma G and her team's training provided an invaluable experience for the School Behavioral Health Professionals in the School District of Palm Beach County, Florida. The presentations and engaging activities were both powerful and inspiring. Emma's candid sharing of her personal journey through adversity, including hydrocephalus, brain trauma, bullying, and depression, created a profound connection with the audience. Her ability to transform these challenges into a message of hope and resilience through music was truly remarkable.
The songs "Be Brave," "Miss Me With That," and "Puppet" plus many others resonated deeply, serving as powerful tools for understanding and addressing the complex emotional landscapes of our students. Emma's emphasis on using our voices and making sense of overwhelming thoughts and feelings was a pivotal takeaway. This training equipped us with a deeper understanding of the importance of emotional expression and validation in supporting our students' mental health.
As we are preparing for a new school year, Emma's story and music have inspired us to approach our work with renewed compassion, empathy, and a belief in the power of human resilience.

In early 2022, my team and I asked Emma G to provide a song for a concert that we were producing with the American Association for the Advancement of Science's (AAAS) science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) Team and Water affinity groups. The purpose of the concert, titled "Drought and Flood: An Artistic Contemplation," was to use art and expression as a medium through which to tell a scientific narrative about the impacts of climate change, drought, and flood on local and global communities. Emma quickly agreed and produced a magnificent original piece called Unity in Devastation, which I can only describe as a "Climate change banger!" Emma is an inspiration and an absolute delight. I highly encourage those considering working with Emma to listen to the track and let the track speak for itself.

I hired Emma G for coaching and mentoring and wow, she has completely leveled up my career as an artist.. and I’ve only just started working with her. I think my favorite part is that she looks at what makes YOU special; instead of trying to mold you to what “people want”. And she is actually out there as a full-time musician herself living and continuously putting her expertise into practice. so she knows what we are experiencing and how to navigate life as an independent artist. I’d recommend Emma with 10 stars, an all-around smart investment for musicians who are ready to takeoff in all aspects of their career.

I never expected for me to be able to write lyrics to a song. I never expected that I would come to class today with verses and a chorus of a song that I fully wrote. My goal was a dream very very far away from me, and I had in mind that I would just attempt. I am shocked that I could do this and I feel accomplished that I did this. In the very beginning, I was lost. I had a topic, but I had did not know how to start, so I went to class and asked to work with her. She put all my thoughts and concepts into words with me, so I was able to start revising with a completed rough draft. And probably, if it wasn't for Emma G, I still would not have lyrics.

Emma G's work is nothing short of miraculous. When Sydney started working with Emma, all she had was experience in her school chorus, a journal filled with her thoughts, feelings and slam poems, and a big dream. Emma taught her how to translate her writings into songs, and inspired her to write the music. I have watched my 17-year-old daughter bloom into a confident singer-songwriter with an amazing album debuting soon.
What she got from Emma was permission to be her full empowered self, live into her dreams, and take inspired action. Thank you Emma!

I’ve worked with Emma G since November 2019 on branding and she has helped me open up tremendously as an artist. She encourages me to dig deeper for my voice and go have my message ready. The best thing she does is lead by example. She doesn’t tell me to do anything that she hasn’t already done herself. And the growth I’ve experienced since I started working with her has been dynamic and significant. Emma G is the perfect sounding board for everything I want to try. She’s a great coach!

To quote my supervisor who happened to be in the Zoom room when one of my ninth graders premiered an original song she wrote called “Trailblazer” that chronicled her middle school challenges, “what the students demonstrated was profound”. You have a superpower, Emma G. Thank you for helping my music students channel their emotions, fears, dreams and higher selves through the power of songwriting. In a year that was full of disappointments, your influence in these teenagers’ lives had a huge and positive impact

On July 28, 2021 I had the pleasure of moderating a Q and A discussion of the Canadian Premiere of Emma G's documentary Born in Crisis. The film is an empowerment vehicle for women, particularly women of color. Emma G is raw, real, and refreshing. Her words, her experiences, her songs truly speak to one's soul. You cannot help feeling empowered as when she speaks, it feels like she is speaking directly to you and your situation. She gets it. She is it. Watch her documentary and close your eyes and listen to her lyrics as they will move you. I have watched my 17-year-old daughter bloom into a confident singer-songwriter with an amazing album debuting soon.
What she got from Emma was permission to be her full empowered self, live into her dreams, and take inspired action.
Thank you Emma!

In May 2023, Emma G joined our teens living with hydrocephalus support group to share the impact music can have on healing. All I can say is, wow! What a profound and moving gathering they had with her. During the meet up, she guided the teens through a writing practice. She spoke to the teens from experience, which helped the teens to connect with her. She listened to them about their experiences and hardship with no judgement then thoughtfully put their thoughts into lyrics. By the end of the meet-up, they had created a beautiful and empowering song. I can’t say enough about how impactful that practice, and meet-up as a whole, was. Thank you Emma!

You had huge traumas yet you don’t dismiss smaller ones. I love your song “The wolf I Feed” so much. So so good. Of course I love your integration of music - that sets you apart and is your superpower I love that you can be so inspirational in 40 minutes. You can make a lasting impression in such a short time - perhaps that’s also your superpower After seeing the presentation I think it would be great/appropriate for all middle school grades. I especially love the superhero tie ins and the end superhero message- so creative. I love the way that you explain trauma as different for everyone yet everyone experiences it. I am usually good at finding something to improve on, but in this case I truly thought it was SO good on so many levels - I wouldn’t change anything. The PowerPoint was effective to tie in the images - like what your parents look like (students may have a different image in their heads) or even lyrics of your song
