Meet Emily

My journey into yoga and wellness wasn’t just a passion—it was a necessity. While in college studying to be a teacher, I was diagnosed with myxopapillary ependymoma, a rare tumor of the spinal cord, that forced me to re-evaluate everything. Yoga became my lifeline, helping me manage my health and reconnect with my body in ways I never had before. But the story didn’t stop there.

After college, I became very successful as a trainer, traveling the country training teachers in effective facilitation strategies, and as a curriculum designer and manager, using research and science-backed strategies to help children and adults learn effectively. I continued practicing yoga as a hobby, yet in the back of my mind always knew there was something deeper I was to explore in wellness.

About a decade into working in the corporate environment, I found myself in a different kind of struggle—burnout. The long hours, high-pressure environment, and relentless hustle started to take a toll on my well-being. I began experiencing shortness of breath, an absolutely terrifying feeling that lived in my body 24/7. After going to many doctor’s visits, beginning therapy, and honing into my yoga practice, I began to heal.

This time, it was breathwork and sound healing that became my sanctuary, guiding me back to balance when stress felt overwhelming. Taking 10-15 minutes each morning, lunchtime, and evening became my lifeline, helping me move, breathe, and heal my nervous regulation system slowly but surely throughout the work day. 

I signed up for yoga teacher training that year and learned the transformative effects that mindfulness practices can have on the mind and body. I learned how to get out of your mind and into your body to build a practice that heals your nervous system, and is sustainable for life. 

Through these experiences, I realized something powerful: I had two worlds—wellness and curriculum design—and they didn’t have to be separate. With my background in education and training development, I saw a need for structured, intentional wellness programs that met people where they were, whether in the workplace, a yoga studio, or their own homes. So, I brought them together.

Wellness isn’t just about taking a break—it’s about creating sustainable, transformative practices that fit into real life. Through breath, movement, and sound, I help people reclaim their energy, their focus, and their peace.

Because taking care of yourself isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity.
