Emily Martin, LMT, BCST, CFT
Emily began her journey as a massage therapist in 2004 with a focus on prenatal massage. After the birth of her first child in 2006 introduced her to the nuances of and dire need for support during the childbearing year, Emily went on to certify as a Doula with DONA International in 2009 and then as a CAPPA Certified Childbirth Educator and Breastfeeding Counselor in 2012.
The road ultimately brought her deeper into bodywork, Somatic Experiences and Attachment Dynamics, fueling a calling for presence, support and healing for families.
I cannot thank you enough for what you have gifted our family. Gratitude fills all of our hearts. Thank you.
A.N.
Emily was drawn to Craniosacral Therapy after seeing the difference it made in her own nervous system and pelvic/low back pain patterns after birth, leading her to pursue her Craniosacral Therapy Certification in Boulder, Colorado. Continued studies in Somatic Experiencing, embryology and birth process experiences allowed Emily to add skills to assist the emotional processes that unfold when meeting trauma in the Craniosacral model. The effectiveness of Craniosacral Therapy in treating breastfeeding difficulties and birth patterns for mothers and newborns is her current focus and guides her continuing education.
