A Safe Space for Personal Growth and Transformation

Hello! My name is Emilia and Loto Coaching is a place where transformation begins.

"Loto" (in Italian) means lotus flower and I chose this name because the lotus flower thrives in muddy waters, rising above the darkness to blossom into something beautiful. Just like the lotus, I believe everybody has the ability to rise, transform, and flourish, no matter where they are in their journey. My goal is to use my coaching knowledge to create a non judgmental place to unpack and understand what holds you back and help you be the person you want to be and reach your goals.

How Did I Get Into Coaching?

In 2018, my journey into coaching began unexpectedly when I stumbled upon an introductory training session. Admittedly, I approached it with skepticism, doubting its potential to impact my life's trajectory. Yet, against my initial reservations, I found myself captivated.

Since then, I've undergone rigorous training to become a certified transformational coach through the esteemed Animas Centre for Coaching, accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF). Additionally, I hold qualifications as an ICF-accredited Corporate Coach and am certified as an NLP Master practitioner, integrating Neuro Linguistic Programming techniques into my coaching practice. I am currently pursuing a PGCert in Career Coahing and the Psychology of Coaching at Birkbeck University.

Professional Background and Personal Journey

For the past two decades, my professional path has been rooted in higher education, where I've dedicated myself to teaching Academic English. Originating from Sicily, my journey has taken me across Italy, from Rome to Milan, before settling in London, which I now proudly call home.

I have a partner, I am a mum of two beautiful girls and I am a stepmom.

How Coaching Can Support You

People come to coaching for many different reasons.

Here are some areas where I can support you:

Life Coaching

Whether you're unhappy in your relationship(s), feeling stuck in unhealthy patterns that keep you from moving forward, or experiencing conflict with others or within yourself, NLP-based coaching can help you reframe your mindset, gain clarity, and take action to create real change.

Don't waste another day, start your journey now.

Career Coaching

Feeling stuck, undervalued, or unsure of your next career move? Whether you’re struggling in your role, navigating a promotion, or considering a career change, coaching can help you gain clarity, improve performance, and build confidence.

With my ICF-accredited Corporate Coaching and my studies in Career Coaching, I’ll provide tools and strategies to help you align your career with your values and goals.

Coaching for Mums and Step-Mums

Being a mum is amazing, but it can also feel overwhelming. As a mum of two and former step-mum, I know how tough it can be to juggle everything, navigate family dynamics, blended families and still find time for yourself. If you're feeling stuck, stressed, or struggling to manage it all, coaching can help. Together, we’ll work on gaining clarity, building confidence, and handling challenges with more ease – so you can show up as the parent (and person) you want to be.


My Coaching Approach

As a life & career coach, I help people move forward with clarity, confidence, and purpose. I use an integrative approach that blends different coaching theories with NLP techniques, drawing on my training as an NLP Master Practitioner. My style is warm, practical, and focused on real progress.

I will support you to recognise your strengths, shift limiting beliefs, and take ownership of meaningful next steps in your personal and professional lives.

What Coaching and NLP Can Help You With

  • Gain clarity around life or career decisions
  • Identifying and shifting limiting beliefs
  • Manage transitions (career change, motherhood, relocation, identity shifts)
  • Build confidence, boundaries, and self-trust
  • Create realistic action steps aligned with your values
  • Manage conflict


Coaching is practical, reflective, and forward-focused. It’s not therapy. it’s a supportive space to think clearly, challenge old patterns, and take purposeful action.
