About Emily

Emily Blackwell is an Embodiment Guide, Yoga and Meditation Teacher, Breathwork Facilitator, and Ceremonialist dedicated to helping others deepen their connection to their bodies, minds, and hearts. Through somatic tools, nervous system education, and Tantric philosophies, she teaches that one’s sensitivity is not a burden but a profound gift—a doorway to greater self-awareness, healing, and personal power.

A devoted student of the mind-body connection, Emily believes that by attuning to the wisdom of the body, we gain access to our deepest truths. Her classes, workshops, and retreats offer a space for exploration through movement, breathwork, and meditation, allowing individuals to embrace their sensitivity, reclaim their wholeness, and express themselves authentically.

I am here to be your guide in the investigation of the nature of your mind, heart, and body

Work with me to discover ways to explore the fullness of your most authentic expression, heal the parts of you that keep you from shining your brightest, uncover your infinite potential, and embody the version of yourself you’ve always dreamed of being.

Together we’ll blend a variety of healing modalities and spiritual practices, to help you connect the dots between the inner workings of your mind, the depths of your heart, and the innate wisdom of your body.
