“Emina Karamanovski provides a unique approach to understanding and using our emotions. With warmth and humor she educates rapt listeners about the significance of emotions and the part they play in each of us. The volunteers of our agency enjoyed learning how emotions can be managed and appreciated as messengers and informers of our deeper selves. Her coaching and appropriate personal stories about this type of intelligence provide new insight into becoming a more complete and healthier being.”

“Hi Emina, I recently attended your presentation during the 9th AAFPRS Symposium in Las Vegas. I really enjoyed your presentation and found the content very interesting. I have relayed your information to our staff and I believe it will make a positive impact in our office environment. I look forward to attending one of your presentations in the future.”
- Jim Coleman, Practice Manager, Naples Facial Plastic Surgery
“As a practicing mental health therapist for twelve years, I am intrigued and inspired by Emina Karamanovski’s approach. Her impressive, creative techniques to manage emotions are a welcome and significant addition to the field of “life skills” and wellness programs. Finding the personal meaning of our emotions brings a depth of insight and another layer to understanding and better utilizing these emotions. Her emphasis on emotional fitness instead of emotional illness points us to leading ourselves rather than passivity and victimization at the hands of our emotions. Emina’s techniques provide a compass and direction to navigating our lives in contrast to being at the mercy of our feelings. I wholeheartedly recommend Emina’s techniques and program from both a professional and personal perspective.”
- Deborah Panden-Levy, M.A., LPC

Student Performance
“I can highly recommend Ms. Karamanovski’s writing presentation to my 4th grade students. As a Language Arts teacher, I invited her to our campus to boost our students’ confidence before the writing TAKS test. Her main goal was to help students find inspiration when writing personal narratives through exploring their own feelings and how they change from the beginning to the end of a story. Once they had an idea to write about, she taught them how to connect their changing emotions within the events they were creating, giving them a road map from start to finish. She allowed them to produce a cohesive, well-structured narrative, with a clear beginning, a thread throughout the middle, and a logical conclusion. The process better enabled them to “see” changes that occur in any good story as a character solves a problem, encounters a challenge, or combats insecurities that hold them back. Ms. Karamanovski led our classes with enthusiasm and great patience as the children asked many questions and responded to her teaching very positively. We greatly appreciated her input!”
- Mollie Degge, 4th Grade Teacher, Valley Creek Elementary
“Dear Emina, I just wanted to tell you how much talking with you helped me. Before I went to you, I was a very closed person. I didn’t enjoy very many things and didn’t like to be in the company of other people. The first time we met, I was a little apprehensive, but after our first visit, I began to enjoy our talks and started looking forward to them. I just wanted to write this and tell you how thankful I am for what you’ve done for me.”
- Daryl S. (12 year old student)
“From the moment I met Emina, I knew she would be helpful. There was a very casual, comfortable atmosphere, and it reminded me of friends confiding in each other. She gave me tools I can use in different situations during various times in my life. Her humor and personal stories gave me something to relate to, and led me to a better understanding of my own situation. After leaving Emina’s office, I felt such a sense of relief.”
- Amy P. (14 year old student)
“I sought help for my 10 year old son who had issues with emotional fits brought on by writing assignments. He would sit down with his homework and start crying and coughing and make himself sick to his stomach. It could take hours before he would produce any work. Nightly homework was unbearable and exhausting for the whole family. He had to take the 4th grade TAKS in four months and we were all apprehensive, including his teacher. Somehow, by working with Emina, my son became able to sit down and immediately start his assignment. His writing got neater, his thoughts became clearer, and even his spelling improved. My son took his test and passed‚ to the excitement of us all. I’m so thankful that there is no more “homework drama” and highly recommend Emina’s coaching to anyone seeking help in dealing with their children.”
- Darla S., McKinney, Texas
“I just had to thank you for the incredible tools you gave to my 10 year old son. It is with great joy that I tell you he exceeded his accelerated reading goal this past nine weeks! For some families, this may seem pretty mundane news, but for us, it is cause for celebration. It is the first time he has reached (actually exceeded) this goal in two years. After only 3 sessions with you, he stated he felt more comfortable in the classroom. His day to day effort was much improved and I was thrilled to hear from his ELAR teacher that after 5 sessions, “he was like a new kid”. She reports he is much more engaged and has grown “leaps and bounds” in his writing and reading comprehension. All I know is that he is much more confident around homework time. It used to be such a chore to get him to do any writing, as he would use many avoidance techniques. Now, he just does what he has to and brings it to me or Dad for a spot check. It is great to know that the tools you gave us will be applicable for all of his school years to come. He will be in middle school soon and I know we will be able to tap into your techniques when he faces any new learning challenges.
Your care and guidance have really changed Alec’s life (and mine). I would never hesitate to go through this journey again, for I learned so much along the way. Probably the best lesson I received is that I don’t have to label my child, just find the right way to teach him!”
- Forever thankful, Dianne B. McKinney, Texas
Personal Transformation
“Most of my anxiety went away after just one session. Being coached by Emina is the best money spent. She has an incredible ability to bring clarity to whatever is at hand and, after each session, I leave feeling energized, motivated and empowered.”
- Lisa K-W
“I am so impressed with Emina’s ability to see right to the “heart of the matter.” Her thinking and communications are clear, precise and incredibly productive. She has this unique way of making life-changing suggestions without being harsh or offensive. I can recommend her with 100% confidence, and that’s not something that comes easily to me.”
- Carol Frank, Pet Industry Consultant
“Since we began working together, I have made great improvements in my ability to deal with the stresses of daily life and have gained that which I now hold to be paramount: an honest sense of perspective. Through your many different approaches, you have helped me better understand myself and my place in my surroundings. I am now more aware of why I do the things I do, and even of how I think. Thoughtful and sincere, your firm, loving method did much to provide me with hope and well-being. At a time when I needed a push, you were able to give it. At a time when I needed forgiveness, you gave that too. Thank you for listening and thank you for your help.”
- Jason H.
“As a spiritual seeker of life’s deeper meaning, I often find myself a slave to my reactions and reactions of others that often appear so random and leave me confused and drained. You have taught me how to make sense of what used to be a senseless world. You have helped me choose paths that lead to greater understanding and tolerance.”
- Joe S.
“I wish to express how much working with Emina has catapulted me in the direction of achieving what I feel is truly important. Before meeting Emina, I had read a number of self-help books and listened to CDs on positive thinking. Things would change for the better for a SHORT period but, ultimately, I would fall back into my old ways of thinking and viewing the world in black and white, good or bad, right or wrong. My life was once laced with traps and pitfalls that reinforced my feelings of self doubt and inadequacy. Working with Emina, I finally saw and understood just how mad and confused I was. She helped me to gain an insight about myself that I never knew existed. For the first time since I can remember, I can sit quietly with myself and be happy. I have more energy and ambition than ever and I am excited about the future. Emina gave me a glimpse into the potential of life and all that I could be. I truly believe that I am going to do something great and meaningful, but not because I will earn hordes of money or influence millions of people, but because it will be something that I TRULY hold to be important and meaningful to me. Thank you Emina.”
- Matt D.
“I was looking to kick a couple of remaining habits from a past eating disorder when I discovered Emina, an emotion fitness coach. After our first couple of sessions, I could tell there was something very special about her and what she was doing. In our sessions, we discovered many things about the way I live and think. We identified unhealthy views and opened the doors for healthier decisions. Furthermore, her approach inspired me to incorporate what I learned in our sessions into my everyday life. Emina has done more than just render services to me, like my past therapist – she has been a blessing in my life.”
- Nancy L.
“You enlightened me with the truth of my own issues and spirit with effective solutions. Your words felt genuine to my heart and impressed upon me how I could go beyond my fears and the blocks that have been holding me back since my divorce. The words you shared for creating unlimited thinking opened my mind to something better for myself. Having been out of the workforce for many years, you also helped me hone my resume and interview techniques for my upcoming job search. Most importantly, you gave me the confidence to be loving and gentle with myself in my personal life. After we spoke, I felt enormous relief and healed rapidly from a painful 5-month illness. You touched me deeply in a place no one else had been able to reach and I was humbled to tears of gratitude after our session. Thank you deeply.”
- Laurie O.
