Asheville,NC
Summary
My name is Emily, I am a North Carolina licensed massage & bodywork therapist of 18 years and recently became a certified Oncology Massage Therapist.
I strive to provide each client with a customized treatment to fit their needs. I have a deep love and respect for massage and how it positively impacts each and every client I work with. After graduating from the Center For Massage & Natural Health in 2007 I began working for the Grove Park Inn Resort & Spa, and stayed in some capacity until March 2020. After having my 1st child I began working independently at Spa Materna- specializing in pre & post-natal care, Mars Hill Massage Therapy- working with Jade Stones and Bamboo, Cosmic Groove North-working primarily with Chiropractic clients, and Reflexology. I also called Asheville Community Yoga home and absolutely loved my time there in the healing arts center. I have a private practice in Arden. My modalities include: Certified Oncology Massage therapist, Swedish, Deep Tissue, Hot Stone, Pre & Post-Natal Massage, Reflexology, Reiki Level 1 & 2, Cranial Sacral and Cupping.
