Although a single massage will be enjoyable, the effects of massage are cumulative and a course of massage treatments will bring the most benefits. Regular massage can have the effect of strengthening and toning the entire body, and help to prevent unnecessary strains and injuries that might otherwise occur due to excess tension and any resulting structural weaknesses.
Massage is generally considered part of complementary and alternative medicine. It’s increasingly being offered along with standard treatment for a wide range of medical conditions and situations.
Therapeutic Massage
Combination of Swedish, deep tissue, neuromuscular, and trigger point techniques. Perfect before an adjustment.
Reflexology
Gently pressing reflex points on the feet with hand and finger techniques to relax corresponding parts of the body.
Prenatal
Relieves headaches, alleviates backaches, reduces fatigue, and enhances sleep.
Get the pulling motions and inversions missing in mat-based classes. A yoga practice or exercise routine that integrates The Yoga Trapeze, even if just once or twice per week, includes pushing, pulling, holding, twists, backbends, forward bends, hip opening and so much more. You can work your shoulders, calm your nerves, and leave class floating on air. We love all styles of yoga, but YOGABODY students tend to be results-oriented.
For students with back pain, poor flexibility, weak core muscles, and little to no grip strength (all very common issues), the Yoga Trapeze offers a way for them to experience remarkable transformation. Inversions have never been more popular, but most students can’t perform even a simple headstand, so they skip these poses and miss both the health benefits as well as the fun of going upside down. All levels are welcome.
This is a mat-based class using timed passive holds and breathing techniques to achieve flexibility and mobility goals.
Bring a strap and blocks to provide proper support in these poses. You do NOT need to be an established yogi to benefit. If you are sitting for long periods whether it be for travel or work, if you know you have limited hip or low back range of motion, if you want to sit deeper in your squat or want less aches and pains then this class is for you.
Emmy has been a World Instructor Training Schools W.I.T.S. personal trainer since 2004, a Board certified massage therapist since 2005, and a reflexologist since 2006.
She has trainings and actively practices modalities including deep tissue, Swedish, trigger point, prenatal, hot stone, Massage Envy’s Total Body Stretch, kinesiology taping, and percussion using Hyperice’s Hypervolt for rapid tension relief.
In 2019 she completed her certification to teach YOGABODY’s yoga trapeze and a year later gravity yoga to further promote health, strength, balance, flexibility, and inversion.

I spent a fairly active six years in the US Army, during which I dabbled in the gym (incorrectly, for the most part) as well as the standard running, physical training, and marches with heavy back packs; as a result, I acquired a few injuries.
I’ve since started to exercise smarter (three times a week on average) but still come up with nagging injuries. I’ve been having sessions with Emmy since the summer of 2011 and they have gone a LONG way to rehabbing and preventing injuries. She doesn’t do “cookie cutter” sessions and is really inquisitive about what is ailing you; she asks a lot of questions before and during the session.
She uses a lot of techniques and the whole experience is very relaxing–as well as educating. I’ve learned a lot about referred pain from her and apply it to my own foam roller sessions.
Emmy was the first certified massage therapist I went to and I’m glad I did.
If you’re nervous about the experience she is definitely the one to go to. As you can see from the other testimonials no matter how active your lifestyle she can accommodate and help you!
I have been getting massages from Emmy since 2010 after an automobile accident and I can truly tell you that she is the best. It was always a pleasure to get a massage each week. She is very professional and her smile will make you relax before she even starts the massage.
At first I wasn’t sure if a massage would help me but after a few weeks I could see and feel the difference. My range of motion was much improved and I felt really relaxed. After a stressful day at work an Emmy massage is the way to go. I have recently returned to Emmy because I was stressed and now after four massages I can feel the difference. I will continue to get a massage each week as long as I can.
I HIGHLY recommend Emmy as a massage therapist. Keep up the great work!
Once I turned fifty, I was diagnosed with Meniere’s disease and BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo). Being a very independent woman, I was devastated.
I couldn’t handle standard chiropractic adjustments; Emmy was able to find me an atlas orthogonal chiropractor. My treatment felt complete with her nurturing massages. They allow me to feel independent, and I can do the things I love like gardening and aquatic exercises.
No words can describe my gratitude! She implements lots of different techniques. Very dedicated to her profession.
I have had a membership for 3 years now and I have no complaints!
I have been seeing Emmy for the last few months and she is amazing! It is evident that she has a clear understanding of her craft and is always looking to provide the best service no matter what.
She always knows exactly what I need and takes into account the fact that I do gymnastics and caters each session to what my body needs to recover from tough workouts."
"I love the Landstown Commons location of ME. I normally see Emmy and she is amazing!
She is timely, professional, friendly, and attentive to my needs. She uses a variety of techniques to ensure my concerns for each appointment are addressed.
The rest of the staff is friendly and knowledgeable too."
