Emma is passionate about working with the human body and using massage therapy as a tool to deepen body awareness and enhance health. With over a decade of experience in the field, she continues to find inspiration in her work and is committed to expanding her knowledge and skill. Her areas of study include prenatal and woman's health, pain science and evidence based approach, trauma-informed care and nervous system regulation as well as Clinical Pilates. Emma takes a collaborative approach to treatment, inviting her clients to become curious about their bodies and actively participate in the therapeutic process. She believes massage therapy is most effective when you are present in receiving the work, using it as an opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of your body. In her treatments, she blends her anatomical knowledge with intuitive touch, incorporating a variety of techniques with an emphasis on deep, anatomically focused technique in conjunction with relaxation. She understands the multi factored complexity of the human body and operates from a whole person perspective in her treatments, adapting her approach to meet you where you are at. Emma believes education is an important part of her work and strives to empower her clients with the knowledge and tools to take an active role in their health. Her additional training in Pilates and Yoga informs her approach to movement education and allows her to develop accessible, individualized home-care routines that support her clients between treatments.
