Antwerp, Belgium 1988

Hi I'm Emilie Iris

A documentary filmmaker and singer songwriter, turned life coach & embodiment teacher, devoted to exploring, teaching, and crafting the art of life.

The first half of my life I worked as a director & creative in the Belgian television industry. From the outside, it looked like I had it all. But on the inside, I was slowly dying. I tried to perform, prove and perfect my way into a life that wasn't mine. Until my body said 'stop'.

After a long and slow descent - a colourful cocktail of burnout, depression, and disconnection - I hit rock bottom. That's when I realised I had to turn things around. So I decided to move to my favourite island in the Mediterranean and started traveling, both inside and outside myself.

On the outside it looked like I had it all. On the inside I was slowly dying.

Over the years I immersed myself in therapy, movement practices, emotional release, tantra and systemic healing. I explored the most profound teachings from around the world and began to peel back the layers. Slowly but surely, I found my way back home. To my body, to my voice and to a life that actually fits who I am.

Now I'm devoted to creating spaces for you to do the same. Through authentic embodiment, emotional processing, and body-led coaching, I guide you back to the wisdom and leadership that already lives inside of you.

Not as a guru, nor an expert. But as a fellow human, forever messy and real, walking the path alongside of you, as you walk yourself back to your truth, learning how to lead and live your life authentically: from the inside out.
