Rise above your aches and pains.
​Empower your body.

When you step into my office, you are a unique and highly valued client with your very own pain, history of injuries, and postural habits. I not only want to do my best to understand your body and treat it accordingly, I want to work with you to enhance your awareness of and relationship to your own body. I approached every session with three goals​​:
Reduce stiffness, pain, tension and discomfort
Provide a safe and inviting space to facilitate mental and physical healing
Empower clients to achieve a deeper awareness of their pain and postural habits

My clients are office workers, athletes, students, dancers, teachers, retirees, vacationers, health care professionals...the list goes on!

The best massage I have had in the Greater Portland area.

“Emily was fantastic- the best massage I have had in the Greater Portland area. She is kind and considerate, has a calm demeanor and really was able to loosen tight muscles. Her use of aromatherapy was a delightful bonus. I would highly recommend Emily to anyone who wants a great massage!”

Both her and her work are extraordinary!

I am really quite picky about who I let work on my body, and Emily is on the short list. She is knowledgeable and I trust her 100%. Both her and her work are extraordinary!

Emily was truly a life-saver for me.

“Her massage therapy released very painful, tight muscles in my hip and legs. Her back massage released a lot of tension as well. Her manner is very calm and soft, her intelligence is obvious, and she genuinely cares about her patients. I felt so good afterwards!”

Emily has a healer’s heart and an intuitive touch.

“ Her approach to bodywork is less about placing a bandage on a “wound”, and more about treating the “wound” on a holistic level. I started going to see Emily as a result of limited shoulder movement; an issue that physical therapy was unable to treat.   Emily has an intrinsic understanding of how our bodies respond to different modalities of work. She’s inquisitive, and wants to fully understand her clients’ lifestyles and designs her work around her client; rather than a “one size fits all” approach to massage.  I simply cannot say enough good things about Emily.  I would unconditionally and without hesitation, recommend her to anyone (and have!).”

Emily is such a caring massage therapist!

​”She listens and takes time with you, both before and after, to identify and understand your needs and concerns. She has a beautiful space that allows for relaxation and comfort and makes you feel at ease with her down to earth personality. I felt amazing after my last massage, and cannot recommend her more highly!” E.G.
