Emily graduated from Milan Institute in late 2019 and received her license in January of 2020. After a long career in an office setting, she felt called to move to a career that helped people and filled her soul. 
 

Emily provides Relaxation Massage only.  Her favorite part of massage is the pampering, nurturing and relaxation aspect. She believes it is the greatest form of self care. As such, it is important to note her specialties do not include deep tissue massage.
Her goal is to leave her clients feeling relaxed, rested, balanced and have a general improvement in their overall well being.  

She is now certified to provide Cranial Sacral Therapy.  CST is a gentle, hands-on massaging technique, using light touch to release tension around your body’s cnonective tissue.  It promotes relaxation and pain relief.  This modality is extremely beneficial to help with PTSD, stress, depression, anxiety, migraines, headaches, tinnitus and so much more.  She also practices and provides Reiki.
 
Emily is available Monday through Friday afternoons.

Reviews for Emily

“I tried cranial sacral as a recommendation therapy for neck pain.  It subsequently helped with my tension headache as well and after a few sessions it also helped with my sleep – staying asleep a little longer.  The session itself is gentle and relaxing”. – Khay

“Emily is an excellent masseuse for performing cranial sacral massages for my migraine headaches. She is gentle on my head and you will find that her massages are very beneficial.
Thank you, Emily”.  – E. Lee

“I can’t recommend Emily enough! Her massage and craniosacral sessions are absolutely incredible. She has such a calm, intuitive presence and always seems to know exactly what my body needs. Every session feels personalized — she takes the time to listen, understand what’s going on physically and emotionally, and then works with such care and intention.

I’ve noticed such a difference in my overall well-being since seeing her. My stress levels are lower, tension melts away, and I always leave feeling grounded, centered, and deeply relaxed. Her craniosacral work in particular is so gentle yet powerful — it brings a sense of peace and clarity that’s hard to describe.

Whether you’re looking for relief from pain, help unwinding from stress, or just want to feel more balanced and connected, Emily is truly gifted. I’m so grateful to have found her and look forward to every session”!  – Lana

“I’ve been seeing Emily at Body in Knead- Reno for cranial sacral therapy for about 18 months now, and she’s truly changed my life. I used to get migraines multiple times a week and struggled with stressful sleep, but since working with Emily, they’ve become almost nonexistent—maybe once every few months, and without relying on medication.

Emily has such an intuitive and calming energy that makes every session deeply restorative. She really listens and brings a caring, thoughtful approach that makes you feel seen and supported. I try to go every 2–3 weeks, and it’s become an essential part of maintaining my well-being.

So much gratitude for Emily and the incredible care she provides”.  – Linda M.
