She is the owner of Gold Lion Healing Arts specializing in energy work, yoga, meditation, sound healing and ritual self care products.

Emily's spiritual life became apparent when she began exploring Kundalini Yoga in 1992. Learning pranayama, meditation, sound healing and about the subtle/energetic bodies led her on a path of becoming a teacher and healer. With a consistent yoga and meditation practice she began furthering her trainings and offerings to include Reiki, Herbalism and Hatha yoga by 2008. In 2009, Emily completed her certification as a Kundalini Yoga teacher and, in addition to teaching in yoga centers, helped to develop and teach outreach programs that served clients with Dementia, Alzheimer’s Disease, and Autism. An intensive meditation training led her to travel and study in India, after which she began leading gong meditation events. She received training and certification in Kid's Yoga and taught yoga and sound healing to youth at CASS (Central Arizona Shelter Services campus) starting in 2012. Since that time, her yoga classes and gong events have expanded around the Phoenix Valley and, with becoming a mother in 2014, she has developed further events that support mothers and families.
In addition to her yoga career, Emily has been a business owner and clothing designer, having owned and operated boutiques and been featured in local fashion shows. She is known among many communities for her big heart, creative spirit, and her ability to bring people together in ways that generate connection, acceptance, and joy.
