Emily is passionate about helping people find relaxation, ease of movement and freedom from pain, using a wide variety of massage modalities to create a customized treatment for each of her clients.  She has always been fascinated by anatomy and the function of the human body; after seeing how beneficial massage was for her mother following a car accident she decided to attend Cortiva Institute, and graduated in 2011 from the Extended Professional program.  As a professional pole dancer and instructor, she knows first hand how important it is for athletes of all kinds to receive regular bodywork.

Emily is trained in deep tissue, injury treatment, sports massage, myofascial release, trigger point, Thai massage, structural bodywork, relaxation, Swedish massage, hot stone, prenatal, and neurofascial release.  She is also certified in cupping.  In a typical session with her you can expect a seamless blend of treatments to create a relaxing yet thoroughly therapeutic massage that is tailored to your specific needs.  Emily believes it's crucial to analyze and treat the root cause of pain and tension as well as decreasing the symptoms, and this is where her knowledge of applied anatomy and postural assessment comes in handy.  If increasing your mobility is your goal then you have found the right therapist!  She loves to incorporate moment and stretching into massages so that you can hop off the table feeling loose and limber.  Her level of pressure is based on your needs and preferences; she is trained in light touch modalities but also has been described as a "friendly steamroller" for those that prefer deep work!  

Emily is passionate about learning to improve her craft and provide you with the best possible experience.  She is also a pole dancer, aerial artist and instructor, and is a NASM certified personal trainer.  She specializes in working with pole dancers and other members of the circus and aerial arts community.
