When I applied to fashion school in 2019, I wrote this in my admission letter; “I want to make women feel the most themselves and confident on the most special day of their lives”
I was then wanting to become a wedding dress designer and that has changed, but my mission has stayed the same.
and it’s Only gotten bigger!

My story.
TW: Sexual violence
My name is Emma Gaarder (you can just call me Em) and I was born and raised in Oslo, Norway.
As a kid growing up I felt very different and like I never found my place no matter where I was. I discovered the possibility to study fashion design when I was in 10th grade and really cultivated a passion for making clothes. It was the first time I felt like I could express what I truly felt on the inside☀️
I went to a fashion high school and later applied to FIT in NYC and was there for three years. I was only a semester and a half into my degree when the pandemic started and I moved back to my childhood home. That brought up a lot of the old muck that I had ran away from and was a really tough 6 months. One year later I was s3xually violated 3 times within six months and my world really got turned on it’s head.
It was truly a rock bottom moment and I was dissociated from my body for over a week.
The thing that got me through that hard time was expressing these emotions through my designs and having my spiritual awakening👼🏼
Ever since then I have been on the path of learning and trying to find back to myself. Setting boundaries, staying in my truth and follow my joy🤍 I promised myself that I would do whatever it takes to get through on the other side more grateful and happy than ever✨
So here I am.
An Authentic Expression Coach guiding women to step into their own true authentic expression and using the tools I have learned from @highestselfinstitute and my fashion design degree. Merging the inner world and your outer reality, to create lasting change and for you to see your fullest potential🕺🏼
I am ready to be your guide on this journey called life and support you on creating a life you truly love❤️🔥
Lots of love, Em🦋
