About

Emily's Method

BODY-BASED THERAPY addresses the entire being through the felt sense. Physical sensation serves as our guide to unlocking unhealthy patterns - mental, physical and emotional. By bringing the mind's awareness to the experience of sensation the body becomes a doorway into deep healing and profound self-discovery.

 

I work with people experiencing chronic pain and health issues, postpartum recovery and fertility struggles, as well as symptoms of anxiety, depression, loss and grief.  Whether you have recently experienced a stressful event or injury -- or would like to address a chronic issue such as migraine, nerve pain, or fibromyalgia, body-based therapy can provide relief from acute discomfort allowing space to address underlying issues and contributing patterns. 

Body-Based Therapy brings a calm reset to the nervous system. The modalities include Somatic Experiencing, CranioSacral Therapy, gentle Myofascial Release, SomatoEmotional Release, Visceral Manipulation, Mayan Abdominal Massage, and Biomagnetic Pair Therapy to address the root cause of the symptoms of physical, mental and emotional issues.

"Your biography becomes your biology."

-Donna Jackson Nakazawa, author of "Childhood Disrupted:"

Trauma can affect us from years past or recent incidents. Depending on the circumstances -- falls, car accidents, divorce, or living in an unsafe, unloving, or unpredictable environment can have an equally deep impact on your health. Studies show that one or more "Adverse Childhood Experience" (ACE) can affect "...brain development, the immune system, hormonal systems, and even the way our DNA is read and transcribed..."

Awaken to your senses and experience life more fully - feel more connected, more present, and free from pain and tension.

Testimonials

"Emily is a born healer. Everyone she touches feels the difference instantly. She is highly professional, always prepared, continually expanding her already vast expertise and she is an altogether delight to be around. Simply the best."

 

"What I appreciate about my experience with Emily is her ability to address and help solve my pain problems at a personal level. While most health care professionals I've seen about my lower back problems will just solve the physical problem with short-lived relief, drugs, and generic stretching techniques explained in a pamphlet, her approach is way more insightful and responsible. She worked with me through sessions, explaining where my tension was originating, and more homeopathic techniques that I have found to be very successful. I would without hesitation recommend Emily to anyone who is looking for a help and would like to understand their own body in the process. Thanks!"

 

"We had taken my daughter to many doctors for treatments for her broken tailbone, none of which were effective.  It was Emily's treatment methods that provided the most relief and healing"

 

"Emily was a great help as I recovered from serious surgery. She truly cared about my progress and suggested tools for re-shaping my life that I try to use every day. Really remarkable. Thank you Emily."

 

"Emily is exceptional, her expertise in myofascial work was wondrous, and her touch was magical - light, gentle, yet penetrating the kinks, reading my needs like no other practitioner had."

 

"Your treatment methods are amazing!  I feel refreshed, renewed, lighter, and freer with an improved sense of clarity after I see you that carries over from week to week.  It is my first experience with CranioSacral and with Arvigo and I have become a believer in the effectiveness of these therapies through your trained and knowledgeable hands.  I would definitely recommend your Arvigo protocol to all women, whether or not they have any discomfort or irregularity - it is a truly unique experience that is deeply soothing to me.  With CranioSacral, you have helped me become more balanced, open and with less and less lower back pain that arose after my post-partum sacral changes.  You have an ability to pinpoint areas that are calling for attention without my input, which is truly awesome!  Your commitment in your clients well-being and healing is very powerful, I am thankful that I found you!"

"Emily was so helpful and understanding. She encouraged me when I was having a hard time and I felt that she was truly there for me."

"I was having issues with TMJ [temporomandibular joint disorder].  Emily suggested we try cranial-sacral massage which helped tremendously. Not every massage therapist can offer the range of services that Emily does."

"The treatment was the most effective in relieving pain, more than a steroid injection and physical therapy. It was also very relaxing. Thank you so much Emily!!!"

"Emily is one of those rare people these days with an excellent work ethic and passion for what she is doing.  She is very knowledgeable, but her best feature is that if she does no know the answer to something, she is tenacious about finding out the answer. This fact makes her especially good at working with women. She has incredible people skills and has the ability to make her clients feel comfortable instantly. Her methods are both relaxing and therapeutic."

"Treatments provided great physical and emotional release."

"This woman is a gem. A bright clear soul, talented therapist, calm spirit and deep listener..."
