I had a wonderful experience with Emily! She is very knowledgeable, professional, and truly attentive to what your body needs. I absolutely loved the massage—it was relaxing but also very therapeutic. I had a lot of tension in my neck and back, and I felt so much better afterward. Emily has an amazing touch and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire session. I would definitely recommend her and will absolutely come back when I’m in Playa del Carmen again! ❤️

I had a simply wonderful experience with Emily! She took her time, was very professional, and helped me feel cared for in multiple ways. I’m newly postpartum and have been dealing with the many layers of healing that comes along with it and I genuinely appreciated Emily’s deep fascial work. It was intense but so good! I would highly recommend.

I was diagnosed with lumbar radiculopathy (sciatica) and I have been suffering from leg cramps and tingly feet, burning calves and lower back pain. I attended therapy sessions for four months but though it help alleviate the symptoms, I feel the issue was not entirely solved. I decided to try Emily’s approach and to be honest, I had never heard of it, but after the first moves I felt that my body definitely needed attention. My joints were in agony for a few minutes but today during my morning walk I felt lighter, and the pain in my hip joints and my knees was gone (less stiffness). I am aware now of those parts of my body that need to “decompress” - Emily made this possible, I will definitely continue with my treatment.

I came into Mexico with intense hip and medium shoulder pain. I self diagnosed myself as falling apart in some form of menopause. My bff recommended I try Emily for relief. Emily did a full assessment of my concerns and went to putting in body work immediately. This is not your typical massage. I’ve tried to describe the depth of pain within my hips and no one but Emily has been able to release the tension. I felt immediate relief after a 90 min session and booked my follow up that’s happening today. My hip pain reduced down to approximately 80% less that day and daily thereafter it’s improved to not need any meds. If workout 4-5x per week lifting weights and was concerned I’d need to reduce my favorite form of movement until I found Emily. You must book her to feel relief. Her studio is also very comfortable and relaxing.

I went to bed one night and woke up unable to move my left arm. The next night, trying to protect the left side, I slept more heavily on my right side and woke up with both arms in pain at a level 9 out of 10. I finally went for an ultrasound in Playa del Carmen. The doctors stopped counting after finding more than five tears between both shoulders, arms, and scapular area. Seven weeks of physical therapy followed, three sessions a week and while I appreciated the effort, I experienced very little true relief. Then I made an appointment with Emily. The session was brutal in the way real therapeutic body work often is. Not relaxing. Not spa-like. Not the kind of treatment where you simply lay on a table and listen to music while someone rubs lotion on your back. This was precise, knowledgeable, intentional work on injury, tension patterns, inflammation, compensation, and dysfunction throughout the body. And for the first time since the injury, I walked out feeling genuine relief. Not temporary comfort. Relief. In one session with Emily, I felt more improvement than I had after seven weeks of conventional therapy. I have not returned to that same level of pain since seeing her, and I immediately booked my second appointment. There is a massive difference between massage and body work. Massage can feel good for an hour. Real body therapy changes how your body functions. It addresses the root patterns, the guarding, the restrictions, the injuries your body has been compensating around for months or years. If you are an athlete, chronically stressed, physically overworked, injured, healing, or simply living in pain, do not mistake this for a standard massage appointment. This is therapeutic body reworking by someone who deeply understands the body. Emily is doing restoration work. And frankly, after what I experienced, I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Emily is by far, THE BEST RMT/soft tissue expert in this area of the country. I've had a multitude of injuries and therapists over the years and she is the only one I allow to treat me here! I've referred her to high-level athletic friends who consistently return for her treatments. Absolutely the best top notch world class 👌🏼 worth every dollar!
