Breathe.

I absolutely love bodywork.  I think it's pretty much the best thing ever.  And for much of my life, I've seen massage therapists as superheroes -- because the ability to take someone's pain away is a super power, no doubt about it.


After my own life got derailed by health issues (now resolved, happily!), I entered massage school in 2015 with the hope of acquiring some super powers of my own.  I'm now trained in Swedish and Deep Tissue Massage, Myofascial Release, Shiatsu, and Neuromuscular Th...

I absolutely love bodywork.  I think it's pretty much the best thing ever.  And for much of my life, I've seen massage therapists as superheroes -- because the ability to take someone's pain away is a super power, no doubt about it.


After my own life got derailed by health issues (now resolved, happily!), I entered massage school in 2015 with the hope of acquiring some super powers of my own.  I'm now trained in Swedish and Deep Tissue Massage, Myofascial Release, Shiatsu, and Neuromuscular Therapy, along with a thorough grounding in Anatomy and Physiology, Pathology, and Neurology.  The work I do uses elements from all these modalities and areas of knowledge to relieve my clients' pain and bring them into greater harmony with their own bodies.

Emily knows her stuff with myofascial practice. If you have an issue, go to Emily for release and relief.

Emily is amazing she got my back to loosen up when no one else could . By the time I left I was able to actually touch my toes .

I have a lifelong autoimmune condition that generally I do alright and even very well with by following a strict autoimmune diet, Low Dose Naltrexone and high CBD. However, if I injure myself I can still get caught on a cycle of inflammation. This spring I injured my shoulder and was in a frightening amount of pain. The injury threw off the entire right side of my body with unreasonable inflammation and nerve pain in increasing locations. All the suggestions given by the many medical doctors I saw (close to a dozen) just made me worse or sicker. I slso tried chiropractic, my usual amazing acupuncturist and even my long term body massage guru. They were all stumped. After my first visit with Emily, I felt the first subtle shift in four months. After the second visit I could not deny it was making a difference. After that, healing quickly accelerated and I had my life back again. My family and I are forever in Emily's debt. I even miss her now that my appointments are winding down.

Emily is very skilled and knowledgeable and was able to release a lot tension in my body. I left feeling lighter and able to move my body with a lot more ease.

Emily knows exactly where to place her gentle yet strong & capable hands for restorative therapy. She also took the time to educate me and give valuable tips to continue my healing work after the session. I highly recommend her & will definitely be going back for more sessions.

I’m a day out from the body work and feel better. Thank you Emily.

I went into Emily's office physically, mentally, and emotionally burned out, stiff, and achy, and and came out transformed through her groundbreaking work on not just the muscles but the fascia system that runs all over the body. Massage can seem like a luxury -- and, in a way, it is when the effects are only temporary. But this method contributes to your long-term health. And -- unlike other massage therapists I've tried in the area -- it's so easy to book at Embodywork; all the open appointments are displayed on the website, and you choose your time. I couldn't recommend Embodywork more highly.
