Meet Emily

Emily Schalick is a licensed massage therapist, bodyworker, doula, and educator with over 20 years of professional experience. She has extensive training across numerous modalities including Neuromuscular Therapy, Craniosacral Therapy, Visceral Manipulation Techniques, Prenatal and Postnatal Massage, and Doula Massage Therapy. Emily has dedicated her career to helping people navigate pain, trauma, the transitions from birth to the end of life, and physical, emotional, and psychological transformation through the power of her skilled touch.

From childhood onward, Emily felt called to compassionate care. She learned early to listen with her hands and to sense the emotional and physical layers held within the body. Emily knew that she had an intuitive touch, but what she felt was a deep responsibility to care for others.

At 19, Emily attended the Arizona School of Massage Therapy, where she later returned as an instructor. She taught anatomy, massage techniques, professionalism, and the foundations of therapeutic touch to aspiring massage therapists. While educating, she also built a thriving private practice that brings compassionate, skilled bodywork directly into the homes of clients who are seeking relief, recovery, grounding, and connection.

After relocating to Los Angeles in 2016, Emily rebuilt her massage practice from the ground up. Her work focuses on providing in-home massage therapy to people seeking accessible, trauma-informed care right where they feel safest. She also continues to teach advanced modalities such as Craniosacral Therapy, Pre and Postnatal massage, and career development to dedicated therapists eager to further their skills.

Emily blends her extensive background in prenatal and postnatal massage with her doula training to offer intuitive support throughout the full spectrum of pregnancy and life transitions—always tailored to each family's needs. In addition to her work as a birth doula, Emily is also a bodywork death doula providing hospice massage and comfort-focused care during end-of-life transition.

When she’s not massaging, Emily finds her own sense of grounding by paddling in the ocean with the Marina del Rey Outrigger Canoe Club, playing bass guitar, and caring for her garden.

Helping others is Emily’s true calling. With two decades of experience, intuitive presence, and deep compassion, she creates a safe and centered space for every person she supports. Her skilled approach to in-home massage therapy, prenatal massage, and doula care is designed to meet you exactly where you are. Emily looks forward to accompanying you through healing, growth, and life’s most meaningful transitions.
