She received her Elementary Education degree from Warren Wilson College, holds a 250-hour yoga certification, and is a Certified Somatic Therapy Practitioner through the Embody Lab. As a children’s art teacher for many years, Emma loves finding ways to help children connect with their creativity. Over the years she has seen the many therapeutic benefits of combining two of her passions, yoga and art. She loves using these modalities to help children explore the unique and creative gifts they have to share within themselves and the world around them. Through these practices of movement and making, Emma hopes children have fun and gain essential tools that they will carry with them for the rest of their lives. Emma loves spending time with her partner and three young children, moving and calming her body through yoga and intuitive movement, playing with watercolor and other art mediums, and cultivating community. She is so excited to continue connecting with families and sharing her experience, knowledge, and creativity with the community!
