I've never met Emily, what's she like?

Pure magic. Emily is extraordinarily passionate about the mechanics and function of the human body and has studied and worked with humans in many forms over the duration of her career as a movement specialist, Integrative Massage Therapist and Body Worker, and as a Pilates and Kundalini instructor. She is a humble and deeply wise practitioner who believes that listening to our body and intuition will guide us to our own ultimate healing and vitality.

​

What is integrative massage? 

Integrative massage therapy is a treatment that involves the integration of therapy techniques from a number of different massage modalities including Swedish, Neuromuscular (deep tissue), Lymphatic Massage, Trigger Point work, and Shiatsu. Emily also incorporates elements from her training as a pilates, yoga and body-rolling teacher in her sessions.

​

How is integrative massage different from therapeutic massage therapy? 

Simply put, Integrative Massage is whole-person healing. This work pays close attention to your physical, mental, emotional and energetic bodies to locate tension caused by historic and present emotional pain, stress, minor physical injuries, and psychic or energetic irritations.

​

What can I expect?

This style of massage takes a deeper look at the psychic/emotional injuries that can create trauma in the physical body and creates space for deep healing, relaxation and connection to your most whole self. Before your session, you'll chat with Emily about how you are feeling and what you are looking for. We ask that you are an active participant sharing feedback with Emily on pressure, sensation, and any changes you experience during your massage.

​

What else do I need to know? 

Massage services must be scheduled at least 24-hours in advance and paid for at the time of booking. Service fees are non-refundable. If you need to reschedule, please let us know at least 6-hours in advance. A full session fee will be charged for cancellations with less than 6-hours advance notice. This policy allows us to pay our teachers for their time and commitment, therefore we cannot make exceptions for any reason, medical or otherwise. We thank you in advance for honoring this policy.
