Welcome to Find The Spark Within
Allow me to introduce myself…
Hi! I’m Emilia — an award-winning author, Licensed Master Practitioner of NLP, action-based mentor and founder of Find The Spark Within and the Take Action Now™ Programs.
I created Find The Spark Within for women like you who feel they are at a turning point in life — where something needs to change, but clarity, confidence or direction may still feel uncertain.
My work is about helping women find clarity, rebuild confidence and take purposeful action towards the life they want.
You don’t need to have everything figured out before you begin. Sometimes, clarity comes from taking the first step.
You may be here because…
- You’re going through a transition or change and aren’t sure what comes next.
- You feel stuck, uncertain or disconnected from yourself.
- You have goals and ambitions, but find yourself overthinking, postponing or second-guessing your next move.
- You’re ready for greater clarity, direction and practical support.
If you recognise yourself here, you don’t need to have the whole path figured out. You need to identify what matters, decide what comes next and start moving forward with intention.
My journey has not always been defined by confidence or clarity.
In 2009, I became a single mother in London, navigating a period of emotional and financial uncertainty. I know what it feels like to rebuild from scratch while trying to stay strong for yourself and the people who depend on you.
During that time, I turned to personal development, neuroscience, NLP, writing and practical mindset tools — not simply as theory, but as ways to understand myself, overcome challenges and rebuild my life step by step.
Over time, I began to shift — not through perfection or waiting for the “right moment”, but through consistent, imperfect action.
That experience became an important part of the foundation behind the work I do today.
From Experience to a Practical Method
Over the past 17+ years, my work in coaching, mentoring and leadership development has given me the opportunity to work with individuals and groups through different stages of personal and professional growth.
Alongside this experience, my studies in personal development, NLP, mindset and human behaviour — and, importantly, my own experience of rebuilding and creating change — shaped the way I began to look at progress differently.
I kept coming back to one simple truth: Knowing what you want is one thing. Knowing how to move from where you are to where you want to be is another.
This became the foundation of Your Future Starts Today — my five-step approach to self-awareness, confidence, purposeful action and meaningful personal growth.
Writing the book was not the end of that journey. It became the foundation for the work I developed with individuals and groups, and eventually led to the creation of my Take Action Now™ Programs.
Today, I bring these principles together with practical tools, structured thinking and personalised mentoring to help you turn what you already know into clear, achievable next steps.
You don’t need to have everything figured out to begin. But you do need to start taking steps forward.
Often, the difference between staying stuck and moving forward isn’t more motivation — it’s clarity, structure, support and action.
Today is the right time to break free from your self-limiting beliefs and fears.
You may have the life you desire and always dreamed of if you just read, think, and act because Your Future Starts Today.
My first book, Your Future Starts Today – The 5 Step Guide to an Inspired Life, brings together the principles that helped me move through my own challenges and create meaningful change.
The five-step approach explores:
- self-awareness and emotional awareness
- purpose and self-belief
- overcoming limiting beliefs and fears
- turning goals into practical action
- developing greater awareness and personal growth. It is for anyone who knows they want something to change — and is ready to stop waiting for the perfect moment to begin.
Take Action Now™
As my work developed, I wanted to take the principles behind Your Future Starts Today beyond the pages of a book and into practical, personalised support.
That led to the creation of the Take Action Now™ Programs.
The programmes are designed for women who want more than information or motivation. They provide a structured space to gain clarity, work through what may be holding you back, set meaningful goals and turn them into practical action.

Give Yourself The Gift of Living Again
My second book explores self-love, gratitude, forgiveness and the process of turning difficult experiences into personal strengths.
If you’ve been shaped by your past and are ready to reconnect with yourself and move forward differently, this book offers practical reflections and tools to help you begin.

Marinela Botezatu. Nuskin Consultant
“I really enjoyed hearing the information that works best for me, when was going through the process. The most helpful was providing the examples of what I may have done and to focus on going forwards.
I was intrigued that Emilia could show me a process that would apply to all decisions I would make going forwards and how to do this in the best way.
During the coaching session, which only took an hour, I sometimes found it difficult to reflect on the process, but Emilia helped make it easier to understand by using specific guidance to make her point and ensure we reached the desired outcome.
It was really insightful to learn about myself and increase my awareness on how I think.
I will now try taking this forward as I now know how easy is to code own strategy to make great decisions in my life”
