I completed a Yoga Therapy session with Emilie this week. I can say two days later I am still benefiting from the work we did together. She is fearless, kind, compassionate, caring and brilliant at communicating! I was able to focus on my goals and work with my body, not against it. I entered the therapy space in discomfort and left free from pain and am still free of pain this morning. I am NOT a Yogi, just a body worker (massage therapist) who has some chronic issues who desires to feel better in my body. I was absolutely AMAZED at the results I gained from one session. I highly recommend you try a private therapy session with Emilie. ~A.P.
'You are truly an incredible teacher. For 8 years I have lived with the pain and limitations associated with cervical herniations, caused by bad yoga instruction. Since I have been coming to your class, I am largely pain free. I can carry semi heavy items (couldn't carry more than 5 pounds). I can practice yoga knowing that my teacher is knowledgeable, well trained, sensitive, and perceptive to my situation and needs. You are gifted in your work and you have given me a quality of life that I didn't think possible. So when you toot your horn, I want to say toot it louder, because you are awesome and everyone needs to know!' ~ A.G.
Having a post-polio body with two strokes on top of that, I felt immediate relief and actually got SORE after my first session with Emilie. trust me, I plan to regain use of my left hand with Emilie's help. ~B.W.
'Working together 1 on 1 with Emilie has been very helpful for me in gaining more body strength in a gentle way through yoga exercises. Emilie and I work together 1 on 1 which has been very valuable for me. Emilie designs a yoga program that best fits me personally and I have found that to be very helpful so that I can continue to gain strength and live with less pain.'

“My husband and I were so impressed with the level of personalization in our sessions with Emilie. A self-professed “anatomy nerd,” she truly understands the musculoskeletal system - and explained just why a weak back can lead to tight hamstring muscles. Who knew?! Emilie knows! Our sessions were customized to address very specific concerns, but still treated our bodies as the whole systems that they are. Clearly, this is her calling and her passion. While she exudes professionalism in her work, her kindness and dedication to her clients shines through. We would gladly recommend Emilie’s private yoga classes for those who are looking for a highly personalized therapeutic yoga experience. “ ~ M.P.
"Emilie's neck care classes remind me of the neck exercises my physical therapist gave me. So right away I knew Emilie was guiding us through a safe, enhancing practice. Emilie has shown me that I can approach my disc problems form a place of strength rather than passivity. Her neck care classes focused on strengthening and relaxing the neck and shoulder muscles. She does a great job of explaining why we work on certain muscles and helps us visualize them. She does a beautiful job of maintaining the zen and meditative atmosphere throughout." ~A.M.
"Emilie always does a great of teaching. She explains the postures well and gives good instructions for modifications for safety." ~ D. H.
"Emilie's classes are great! She offers a variety of poses some familiar and some new to me. She offers modifications, as needed, and ways to extend poses for more intensity. She encourages us to listen to our bodies and use our own judgment about whether to modify or extend. I feel so grateful to have found her yoga classes. ~S.H.
