“I am really grateful and very touched by this space. I think this is really important…to have this moment, to have this space of being with you, with the body—to come again to the body. I could feel you guided the session in a way that the moment needed. You were very sensitive and empathic with the feeling we shared, and that was very beautiful.”

“This workshop was a much needed space of reflection and readjustment. I was grateful to find a place where I could share painful experiences surrounded by kindness and understanding. Thank you again for everything.”

“The Soft Landing Day Retreat was a lovely day to practice self-care with gratitude and grief in a conscious and mindful way. I enjoyed appreciating cacao, the amazing cacao centerpiece, and the cautious drinking of my first specially prepared cacao. The ritual of letting go of things using the moon cycle and a stone/crystal was a remarkable experience. The group was heartwarming and Emily was highly committed to making the day a very special one for all of us whilst still caring for herself. It was a great experience. To many more nourishing retreats to come!”

“Emily’s ability to engage a group and create a space for the exploration of self and others in a compassionate, client-oriented manner made me feel safe and comfortable almost immediately.
As an attentive and non-judgmental listener and an effective, collaborative creator of space and events, she is a dedicated agent of transformation and healing. Emily and her practice are gems for anyone looking to deepen their connection to themselves and others on their journey of healing and self-actualization.”

“I noticed and appreciated:

•Emily's openness to the process, to what participants shared, and how she took time to receive those thoughts and offerings rather than swiftly trying to narrate them or fit them into a message. Her responses were thoughtful and humble, not over-steering or categorizing what was said. This lightness was unique and comforting.

• How grounding and connective it was to hear others share what they were experiencing, and to speak my experience in front of them as well. I appreciated how we could describe sensations and things that came up through the process in an unattached but honest way that felt liberating and authentic.

• This possibility of coming into grounding and calm intention together. The community aspect was really important.”

“You are both incredibly strong and beautifully soft at the same time. I admire you for the work you do and everything you have built to come this far. You inspire me deeply, and I know I can learn so much from you. I will always cherish the spaces you have held for us. I also loved witnessing how you engage in other facilitators' spaces - your curiosity and playfulness lit up the room during K’s workshop.”

“Emily is amazing at making everyone feel comfortable and at ease. During the workshop, it really felt like everyone had the space for their experience to be personal, no matter if it was their first or 50th cacao ceremony. I liked the communal aspect of it all: instead of us listening to ‘an authority’, it very much felt like a shared experience between all of us, which made for a more lasting impact. It was a very warm, comforting and intimate experience that surpassed my expectations. I can simply recommend Emily's workshops and guided meditation sessions to anyone. If you've ever felt uneasy or an outsider during group meditations, I urge you to join in on one of Emily's sessions. I can guarantee you you'll feel seen and included.”
