Bodywork

Craniosacral Therapy

Cranial Sacral Integration was included in my core curriculum at the Costa Rica School of Massage Therapy. This modality works with the cerebral spinal fluid to help the body heal itself. The client remains clothed throughout this uniquely meditative session. The treatment includes a series of gentle holding positions to stimulate deep relaxation alleviate muscle tension, headaches, vision and hearing disturbances. The practitioner's touch allows the client's mind and body to focus and become aware of any issues and works to naturally unwind and heal.

Shiatsu

I've attended a continuing education course for Shiatsu at the Costa Rica School of Massage Therapy. Shiatsu is a Japanese modality that is based in Traditional Chinese Medicine. "Shiatsu" actually means finger pressure - the practitioner uses finger, palms, and knuckles to assess the clients energetic state and rebalance "Kyo" and "Jitsu" in the body's meridians. The client remains clothed during the session and this modality is performed on a mat on the floor rather an a massage table.

Thai Massage

I've attended a continuing education course for Thai Massage at the Costa Rica School of Massage Therapy. This modality also sometimes referred to as "yoga massage." Thai massage includes a combination of stretching, compressing, rocking, and pulling to loosen muscles and limbs. Client's remain clothes and the session is performed on a mat on the floor rather than on a massage table.

Yoga

RYS 200

I attended the Costa Rica School of Yoga for 200 hours of yoga teacher training in 2017. I have been a practicing yogi for over a decade and I have been instructing personal lessons for over 2 years.

REVIEWS for my Bodywork or Yoga services

by Alexandria on Apr 09
Wonderful as always!
by Julie on Mar 26
I love every time I see Emma she hits all the yummy/owie spots. She's professional and fun at the same time. I especially love the extra step she takes when she wipes your back down with a hot towel as well as your feet, and in case you want to wipe anything else down, she gives you another hot towel at the end. Great experience from start to finish.

The experience surpassed by expectations.

I had such and extraordinary experience at Vitality. Emma is so great at making you feel comfortable and asking the necessary questions to enhance your overall massage experience. She has a wonderful personality and is very knowledgable. I would absolutely recommend her to everyone!

My kid makes too much noise:)

Not only is Emma an extraordinarily talented masseuse, making your body feel wholly renewed, she also creates such a peaceful, nurturing atmosphere. Best massage experience I've ever had.

Emma always gives a fabulous massage. She pays attention to the details of what I request

Emma is a wonderful and strong LMT. She's helped me through the physical therapy that I need to loosen and open up the parts of my back and legs that I have been affected by multiple back surgeries in the last year. We did a lot of talking about what I needed and she's been thoughtful and mindful about my easing back into my favorite type of therapy which is deep tissue massage. I've had three appointments and every time I leave I recognize myself getting more and more flexible and capable. I'm so glad I found Emma and look forward to more appointments where I get to relax and leave feeling better every time. Her dedication to not only the physical art of massage but the therapeutic and interconnected purpose of mind body and spirit is refreshing. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

Emma is a practitioner; her knowledge of the intricacies of the human body far surpasses that of most doctors I've known. To put it simply, Emma is magic.
by Lauren on Dec 25
Starting to see Emma on a regular basis has been the best thing I've ever done for myself. She has made her studio warm and comfortable. She always asks if anything in particular needs work and focuses accordingly. It is a really great thing to do for yourself (or someone else).
