Lead Massage Therapist, EsAlen® Massage Therapist

My intention for our massage session is to create a place where you are able to feel safe and supported, allowing whatever needs to happen to unfold naturally. I feel honored to be able to hold space and witness these beautiful and sometimes transformative experiences.

I try to maintain a deep presence and follow my intuition and curiosity, allowing the body to guide me. I hope you will leave feeling deeply seen and cared for and have a more embodied sense of self.

Emily was introduced to Esalen massage through Robin Fann-Costanzo. She participated in the certification training in 2016 and fell in love with Esalen massage, drawn to the principles of presence, curiosity and the mind-body connection. By working in this deeply present way, Emily became inspired by the unfolding of emotions and access to deeper parts of ourselves that can occur with massage. This curiosity about the mind-body connection lead to her pursue a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling. Her passion for understanding the mind, body, and spirit connection informs both her skills as a bodyworker and her work as a somatic focused counselor. Emily’s unique blend of experience and education allows her to support her clients in ways that honor the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.
