“Working with Emily has been invaluable for my growth as a creative, entrepreneur and musician. Often when we work in roles that require us to be self-starters, there can be major periods of stuckness, confusion and self-doubt.
Emily is all parts incredible listener, life coach, cheerleader, and therapist. She asks thoughtful and leading questions that have allowed me to receive clarity on my priorities, overcome my obstacles, and look at myself through a more positive lens. She approaches my challenges and desires with absolute support, and no judgment. I always walk away from our sessions feeling an expanse of opportunity and belief in myself.
For anyone who is looking to get something off the ground, or who is in the midst of creating or building something, Emily is the best partner and support system you could ask for. Working with her over the last few years has allowed me to go after my goals in film composition/scoring, go after teaching jobs at collegiate levels, expand my work as an educator and gigging musician, and more than anything, have the confidence that I can achieve my goals.”

“I wholeheartedly recommend Emily Mure as a creative coach. I came to her for coaching sessions when I was at the beginning of two very big projects: opening a music studio and writing a musical. I was feeling a lot of anxiety about both, but her warmth and empathy put me at ease immediately. Our sessions were productive— we generated lots of ideas and practical solutions regarding both projects. She was someone I could be accountable to in regard to doing the work, getting things done.
But best of all—Emily really validated my work and made me feel like I was worthy of making and showing my art to the world. She truly helped me reconnect with my identity as a creative person and musician.”
“Emily's gift for guidance comes from being a curious and dedicated creative herself. Whether you are struggling with your relationship to your work or struggling with the administrative tasks it asks of you, Emily can relate. Her attention and willingness to jump in from any edge of the pool took away much of the anxiety I experience when working through my own s*it. Emily helped me identify and simplify steps that I was unwittingly complicating, which gave me objectivity that helped me start to form pathways where I had previously felt stuck.”
-Ray Rizzo (Musician, Recording and Performing Artist / www.rayrizzo.tv)
“I loved working with Emily! She helped me gain clarity about my creative goals, and helped keep me accountable to my goals and my process. She did this in a genuine and gentle way during a very stressful time for me (album release). Emily has so much expertise about the creative process, and life as a DIY musician/creative professional. I found all of our sessions to be very grounding and helpful.”
“Emily holds space. Plain and simple. She safeguards your innermost worries and authentically shares her own artistic woes (when appropriate and applicable) which makes her already giving energy even more authentic and warm. Her questions and commentary are never pushed or invasive but intentional and thought-provoking.
Her approach is collaborative and personal, never judgmental or critical...which we all know is the death of a creative artist’s voice. I would highly recommend Emily’s coaching services to everyone from the newly curious artist to the working professional artist and everyone in between. She provides a creative check in, a personalized game plan and ongoing permission to shift, change, create, back off, lean in or abandon the things that are or are not working for your life, your process and your creative spirit. ”
“Emily has been such a positive, grounding, and encouraging force throughout the course of our sessions. She has helped hold me accountable, shared plentiful tools and wisdom, and shown consistent compassion for wherever I may be. Alternately leading, following, and walking beside, always with a gentle, guiding hand, she has not only helped me “get things done,” but also, perhaps more importantly, develop a more loving, holistic, and sustainable relationship to my creativity.”
“Emily as a coach (and person) is a feet-planting, breath-centering, mess-encouraging, dream-affirming, human noise canceller. I sought her coaching to gain intentionality, clarity, and confidence in my creative process. Her empathetic, intuitive, and thoughtful approach allowed me to articulate artistic goals and desires in a way I hadn’t before, get to the bottom of personal blocks, AND she offered the perfect exercises to help me move through them. I have gained a much kinder, gentler, and more experimental approach to my creativity, which has made being on this path a real joy. I believe a big part of growth comes from the act of seeking support alone, but even better, Emily held exactly the space I needed.”
“Emily’s insight, support, intuitive understanding, and real-world experience has made my relationship with creativity (and the business surrounding it) significantly less intimidating and infinitely more enjoyable. She is knowledgeable, kind, and offers equal parts logistical structure and emotional assistance. Her creative coaching has evolved my process with a technique and touch that is both useful and fruitful.”

“It has been life-changing to be coached by Emily Mure, both one-on-one and within a creative group. She's a thoughtful host and facilitator who has a natural ability to invoke infinite ideas and valuable conversations. She coached me through many tough creative rejections being an artist, curator, grant writer, and freelancer; she's full of hope, resources, wisdom, love, and unconditional acceptance to help guide you where you want to go next.”
-Kelly M. Coffey (Braveheart Healing Arts / www.vedhead.com )
“Emily's coaching helped me a great deal in the run-up to releasing my album "Everything Is Different" in 2022. We were able to meet each week on Zoom to focus on ideas and pinpoint goals that she suggested that I could achieve as the weeks went on. Suddenly the overwhelming became possible and organized!
Emily is a coach you can trust and collaborate with creatively. My whole experience, rather than being stressful, was thoroughly enjoyable!”
-Joy Askew (Singer-Songwriter, Performer and Educator / www.joyaskew.com)
“Emily came into my creative world at the perfect time - a moment of fatigue and indecision after some unexpected twists and turns on my way towards making a record. She was patient and approached all of my existential questions with care and understanding, helping me to trust in my vision and articulate how I wanted to grow as an artist. I’m extremely grateful for our time together - every creative should have an Emily Mure.”
