Hello! My name is Emily, I love helping people connect with their inner wisdom to live a more loving and joyful life. 

I have always been fascinated with all forms of healing. When I was little, I read positive psychology books found in my parents’ bookshelf. I had the idea that one day I could live a life free of psychological drama and trauma and help my family learn to love each other along the way.

My first job after graduating from UCSC was at a woman’s domestic violence shelter as a shelter advocate. I’ve worked as a massage therapist with a special interest in prenatal and postpartum massage. I love anything related to women’s spirituality, women’s circles, divination, etc.

For the past 15 years I’ve worked as a bilingual educator. Currently I work as a curriculum coach for kindergarten and first grade teachers in Watsonville, CA. Having lived and studied for several years in Latin America, I learned the language and culture of the students I work with. 

One of my best friends called me out of the blue several years ago and told me that I had to schedule an appointment with an amazing healer who was coming to Santa Cruz for a few days. I immediately booked, and have been working with Naomi ever since. 

Before working with Naomi, I used to frequently rely on outside sources for insights and advice for how to live my life and make daily decisions.  After working with Naomi, I have come to trust my own intuition and I am much more confident in my own decision making process and intuition. 

Another big shift that has happened from doing this womb healing work with Naomi has been around my physical changes as I age. I just turned 50 and several years ago I was having intense perimenopausal symptoms (mini hot flashes, radical mood changes, irregular periods, spotting, etc.). Once I started doing this work with Naomi, those symptoms improved significantly. I went back to having regular periods and don’t experience hot flashes anymore. 

I love working with people who are eager to grow in an environment that accepts all of who they are and to experience a range of healing modalities, people who are committed to healing not only themselves, but addressing generational trauma and healing past and future generations to come! This work includes guided visualizations/journeys breathwork, meditation, music, dance, etc. It is great to work with people who are open to different healing methods. 

When I am not working I can be found dancing and traveling. I used to dance as a kid but then gave it up. It wasn’t until I was 47 that I took up dancing wholeheartedly again and I haven’t looked back! It brings me joy and keeps me flexible and strong. I have traveled a lot over the years and I love going to other countries and exploring new places and cultures. 

I am a mother to a 21 year old son and a 7 year old chihuahua/terrier mix. I love children and animals. Being a mother was incredibly humbling and pushed me to grow in areas I never dreamed of before. 

I would love to connect with you, you are welcome to email me to schedule a session and see if we are a match!

With Love, Emily
