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 really knows how the body works and how to help relieve muscle tension. I have experienced great relief with each session. She's fantastic!

I knew I needed a massage but I had no idea how badly my body needed this. I have not had anywhere remotely close to the level of pain I was in before I saw Emily. I will be making this a regular thing and highly recommend Emily and the amazing service she provides. Thank you a hundred times over ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™

I've experienced bodywork for many years and Emily knows her stuff. Her expertise of Myofascial Release is top-notch.

I thought I had to live with chronic pain and limited range of motion after a series of surgeries but seeing Emily regularly has helped me tremendously. I can't thank her enough.

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.
