About Emily

A gentle place to land

I’m Emily—a sound healing facilitator and somatic practitioner creating spaces to slow down, soften, and come back into the body.

My path here hasn’t been linear. For many years, my work lived in the world of beauty and storytelling—shaping how things looked, how they were presented, how they were seen. Over time, something shifted. I became more interested in how beauty feels than how it appears. How the body holds experience. How the nervous system responds to sound, rest, and presence.

That curiosity led me into years of yoga practice, sound healing, and somatic study—and eventually into this work.

My Approach

My work blends sound, breath, guided meditation, and somatic awareness to support gentle nervous system regulation and meaningful self-connection.

Rather than pushing for transformation or trying to “fix” anything, I focus on creating conditions where your system can settle and recalibrate naturally. Sound works directly with the body—often reaching places words can’t—inviting rest, spaciousness, and subtle shifts in awareness.

You don’t need prior experience.
You don’t need to know what you’re doing.
You don’t need to arrive calm.

You’re allowed to come exactly as you are.

What You Can Expect

When you work with me—whether in a sound bath, workshop, or one-on-one session—you can expect an experience that is:

  • Grounded and accessible

  • Nervous-system informed

  • Intuitive, not prescriptive

  • Spacious, not overwhelming

  • Playful when appropriate, quiet when needed

This work is especially supportive if you’re feeling overstimulated, emotionally full, disconnected from your body, or simply craving a slower, softer way to be with yourself.

Why Real Life Beauty

I created Real Life Beauty as a space to explore what beauty looks like when it’s lived, not performed.

Here, beauty isn’t about optimization or perfection. It’s about honesty, embodiment, and resonance. It’s about learning how to listen inward and respond with care. It’s about shifting your state—not by effort, but through presence.

This is work that unfolds gently.
And often, that’s where the real change happens.
