Emily was raised on the Central Coast and is returning after a 20 year hiatus. Growing up on the central coast, Emily was always encouraged to appreciate her beautiful surroundings and developed a love of just about any outdoor activity (as long as it’s not absolutely freezing)! Throughout school and college Emily stayed active in a variety of sports as well as other interests such as dance, music, and drama. During this time she developed an interest in the human body. She began to explore anatomy and movement. This prompted her to go to school to work as a Physical Therapy Assistant for almost 15 years. Emily also became a certified Polestar Pilates trainer. This work gave her the opportunity to experience working with everything from traumatic brain injuries to high level athletics. Working in a rehabilitative setting it became clear the positive impact manual / massage therapy had on her patients. Wanting to do more than scratch the surface, Emily decided to return to school for massage therapy to expand her skillset and learn new techniques not normally found in a physical therapy setting. Emily has personally experienced how massage can be an educational experience by connecting to one's own body. She believes it's a great tool not only for self-care, but owning and knowing your unique body.
