Emma enjoys spending time in the outdoors and traveling. Her favorite adventures have been hiking in the Swiss Alps and teaching English in Vietnam. Her experience in Vietnam inspired her to complete a Master of Education degree. Emma’s path to becoming an acupuncturist began while she was an ESL teacher. When classes went remote during the COVID pandemic, Emma began taking online yoga classes and completed a yoga teacher training. During this time, she was introduced to reiki energy healing and became a reiki master.

From a very early age, Emma was drawn to caring for others. Her mother is a nurse and Emma would observe her caring for her patients, family, and friends throughout the years. Emma saw healing as a way of life. Her experiences with yoga and reiki led Emma to think about shifting her career to work in a more meaningful way with healing. She found acupuncture to be a perfect fit for her.
