Emily and Maria first collaborated in 2019, co-leading a transformative healing retreat in Andros, Greece. That experience was deeply memorable, filled with profound healing and connection. Since then, they have continued to partner in various ways. Recently, Emily has taken on a new role, supporting the growth of the business across multiple platforms. She manages much of the backend work, including weekly newsletters, workshop registrations, customer service, content creation, and more.

Beyond her role at Magical Hands, Emily is a dedicated mom of two and a certified 200-Hour Yoga Alliance Teacher with additional certifications in Aerial Yoga, Prenatal Yoga, Barre, and Reiki Level II. A two-time Hodgkin’s Lymphoma survivor (2010 & 2017), Emily is currently in remission and thriving. She embraces holistic healing to support her immune system, incorporating yoga, myofascial release, breathwork, meditation, nutrition, exercise, Chinese herbs, and a clean lifestyle into her daily routine.

Movement has always been a central part of Emily’s life. She grew up as a competitive dancer and was a member of the Rutgers University Dance Team. She later spent four years living in Makaha, Hawaii (Oahu) with her husband before starting a family. In her free time, Emily enjoys staying active, cooking, spending time with family, hiking, and traveling. She is thrilled to be joining Maria in Puerto Rico!
