What People Are Saying

With over 20 years of experience, Emily has built lasting relationships with the families and individuals she supports. Here’s what her clients have to say about her in-home massage therapy and doula services in Los Angeles.

Emily has a deep understanding of the human body and she has truly changed my life. Through her skilled and effective massage therapy, I have literally become healthier, more balanced, and far more aware of my own body’s needs. Each session that she gives me brings profound relief, restoring not only my physical well-being but also my sense of inner peace. Since becoming her client I feel calmer, stronger and more connected to myself than ever before.

I’ve been seeing Emily for over five years, and I don’t know where I’d be without her. I have chronic pain and nerve damage from past accidents, and her in-home deep tissue massages have been life-changing. Any time a new issue arises, she knows how to relieve the pain. Her deep knowledge of how the body is interconnected is remarkable. She brings everything and creates a calm space right in my bedroom. Emily supported me through my entire pregnancy and postpartum period with the same skill, intuition, and compassion she’s always shown. Every month, I look forward to her visits because I know I’ll feel relief and genuine care. Not to mention she’s also just a wonderful person with a kind heart. She’s incredible.

I can’t say enough good things about Emily. She is incredibly knowledgeable and takes the time to explain what’s going on in my body and why she’s doing what she’s doing. I’ve learned so much from her, and it’s made me more aware of how to care for my body outside of our sessions.

You can feel a difference almost immediately once she starts working—her touch is intentional, skilled, and effective. Beyond her expertise, she is extremely respectful of boundaries and always checks in to make sure I’m comfortable. She creates a safe, welcoming environment and is very receptive to any questions or concerns I have. I always leave feeling better, both physically and mentally, and truly trust her care.

I have been receiving body work from Emily for more than 10 years. She is, by far, the most skilled, empathetic, and intuitive bodyworker I have ever met. She has set such a high bar for care and what I expect when receiving. Emily has an incredibly dialed in process, you can tell she's done her 10,000 hours (probably more!) However, even with Emily's vast experience, her real gift is in how she curates each experience to meet the person where they're at. She's incredibly adept at serving all kinds of individuals from diverse backgrounds and experiences with bodywork (I have referred many friends to her over the years).

Last year, my husband and I hired Emily as our birth doula after a long and difficult journey to get pregnant. Emily was the absolute gold standard of the caring, empathetic, and guided support we were looking for for our first birth experience. During a 4 day labor, Emily worked tirelessly to not only support me, but worked so collaboratively with my husband and the nursing team to make sure my needs were met and my voice was heard. She made my husband and I feel empowered as I maneuvered my way through a medication free birth. When my resolve started to waver around hour 37, she was quick to make adjustments and work with my husband to reset physically and mentally so I could see the rest of my labor through the way I intended. Her work with us in the days following our son's birth was gentle, supportive guidance that was invaluable to two sleep- deprived, anxious, brand new parents! We are trying for our second and there is no question who we will be hiring as our doula for baby #2!

Emily also supported my wife and I during the birth of our son in a professional Doula capacity. Going into the birth, I was unsure how I would feel about having another person present. It was very important to my wife and my priority was making sure she felt fully supported and prepared for such an intense experience. Looking back now, I honestly do not know how we would have done it without her. My wife had a very specific birth plan that led to a long and physically demanding labor. Her ability to combine hands on bodywork with calm guidance and positivity made an enormous difference. She helped with physical positioning and transitions so I could take 10 mins to run to the bathroom or eat something, and when I was hands on, Emily handled things like photos and documentation of milestone moments so I could stay fully focused on supporting my wife and living in the moment. Even before the birth her past experience of different birth approaches, settings etc. brought a level of reassurance that was invaluable. It was the most intense and beautiful experience of my life and I am incredibly grateful for her support.
