WHO WE ARE

For ambitious leaders — and the communities they build.

EMRGE is a leadership coaching company built on one belief: when a woman fully honors and embodies who she is, her capacity to lead expands with her. Her growth creates movement around her — in the people she leads, the communities she shapes, and the future she is building. Founded by two executive coaches — one with decades inside Fortune 50 boardrooms, one with decades of deep embodiment practice — we work with high-achievers already in motion, ready for the next level.

THE FOUNDERS

Two founders. One exchange.

Kelly Ferraro

Kelly spent her career inside the teams shaping major brands — Whole Foods Market, Meta, Ogilvy, and Anomaly — leading nine-figure media budgets and high-growth teams along the way. As a coach, she works with executives navigating their next chapter and women building businesses, platforms, and careers of their own. She has authored two coaching workbooks, built a course for founders, and is a speaker. She is a certified coach through Lightyear, BetterUp, and Stagen.

Leah Cullis

Leah taught yoga inside the Obama White House, appeared on the cover of Yoga Journal, and is the author of Power Yoga. As wellness ambassador for Miraval, she leads full-day immersions for C-suite executives and has spent two decades studying yoga, Ayurveda, and the relationship between the body and leadership. Her work brings embodiment into the way leaders think, work, and lead.

WHY WE'RE HERE

Out of fifty people in our global certification cohort, we found each other — and discovered we’d been neighbors all along. It felt less like coincidence than recognition.

We come to leadership from different places: strategy and embodiment, doing and being, energy and grounding. Together, those perspectives create a fuller way of coaching — one that honors both the person you are and the person you are becoming.

Because meaningful growth doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens in relationship, with people who can challenge you, ground you, see what you can’t yet see, and stay invested in your becoming.

That’s why we’re here.

THE WORK

Three Ways In.

  • 1-1.5 HR SESSIONS - AUSTIN

    Embodiment practice paired with real coaching, held in community — the same faces returning week over week, because sturdiness is built in repetition, not a single breakthrough.

  • ONE-ON-ONE - PRIVATE

    A single day, fully devoted to the founder about to scale past what got them here. The body, the decision-making, and the next twelve months, worked in the same room.

  • SCALING ORGANIZATIONS

    For companies entering a new chapter and the leaders who have to hold it. Not a training module — a standing council, built inside your organization.
