Eric McNamara. Founder & Director of EMC Coaching. Experienced & fully-qualified Personal Development & Mindfulness Coach.

My Story

I ran two successful businesses in the past – an award-winning garden design and landscaping company and a construction company. While both flourished, I came to the realisation over time that my work-life balance was far from what it should be and that I was not only missing out on life but also putting my health on the line.

In attempting to address this, I made some significant life changes and put my energy into self-discovery and pursuing studies in the areas of mindfulness, meditation, positive psychology and subsequently life coaching. My passion is sharing what I have learned along the way on my journey from my experiences and my studies, to guide and support others in identifying & achieving their personal and professional goals.

As a keen golfer, sports coach and former All-Ireland League rugby player, I also enjoy working with sports people and teams, to empower them to reach their full potential and goals.

Eric helped me put a much greater focus on the main priorities in my life. His coaching skills helped me set a great routine to enhance my awareness of all that was positive in my life. Being able to talk openly to Eric about really important personal issues has been a great help. Thank you.
