Although I didn't work with Emily personally, she was very gracious and supportive during the consultation stage and referred me to the proper help! Super grateful! ~Dani read more

Was in Playa for a little over a week and had taken my road bike with me. My first day out was after a rain and I leaned in a bit too much going around a circle on a wet slick bike trail and the bike came out from under me. My body impacted the ground and knocked the wind out of me. A day later my back was in major pain. After a chiropractic adjustment, I felt I needed to have the muscles worked on also. Emily's myofascial/muscle manipulation deep tissue process is the real deal. Released knots I didn't know I had. Top notch! Back pain gone over 100 miles put in while in Playa! Thanks again!

Emily is awesome! I highly recommend her for massage. This is the fourth or fifth massage I have gotten from her. I always book a couple of appointments with her when I come from Canada on vacation. January 21,2026 update. Saw Emily today! Missed her terribly for the 6 years I wasn't able to come to Playa del Carmen. She was even better than I remembered! I wish she lived in Edmonton! Best massage therapist on the planet! You won't be sorry you booked with her. In fact make the time to go more than once each trip. read more

Emily is an expert at her craft. Not a lot of professionals know how to do Myofascial release the way she does. The results from 2 sessions are permanent and I'm already walking better. I'm excited to book with her again while she's still here in PDC. read more

Emily doesn't just offer massage, she offers healing. I've been working with her for years and she has helped me with so many issues from bodywork to parasite cleansing and just boosting my overall health. She radiates health and vitality and every time we meet she inspires me with her extensive wisdom of human health and rejuvenation. I am so grateful to have discovered her in Playa and I highly recommend her for massage and any health issues, especially parasites and cleansing. She is not cheap but she is worth it. read more

Emily is AMAZING to work with. So amazing, that I made a second appointment 2 days after the first one because I wanted her to focus on other areas of my body. She listens carefully and tailors massage treatments to resolve your musculoskeletal issues, following up at the end with recommended self treatments and stretching regimens. I am SO GLAD I took a chance on a Yelp review and booked an appointment with her - she was one of the best parts about my trip! read more

I will certainly jump on the well deserved 5-Star rating. I was fortunate to find Emily on yelp during my visit to PDC. She worked with me twice for my Myofacial Release. Excellent work! I will definitely work with her in the future! She had great recommendations for hydrotherapy spas in PDC. With Emily, you will leave her very comfortable studio with more health knowledge than you arrived! I, without reservation recommend Emily! read more

Best massage I have ever had! I have been struggling with plantar fasciitis in my foot for years and Emily took away the pain completely! I also had some lower back pain that she resolved. I can't describe how wonderful she is! I HIGHLY recommend! I wish I lived closer! read more

Emily is absolutely wonderful- not only is she a perfect glowing example of kindness and beauty but her work is amazing. I contacted her before flying in with two friends for my first trip to Mexico and was looking for something to do until we could check in to our condo. Emily kindly opened her home to us, offering water, breakfast, showers and a place to nap then proceeded to give each one us the thorough attention for realignment, self care, and amazing recommendations. Even though we are here for only a week we look forward to visiting her again and continuing to learn from Emily about our bodies but also her favorite spots in the area. Highly recommend booking a session and meeting one of the most knowledgable, sweet people I have ever had the honor of working with. For her work: Emily took the time to assess my injuries, posture, and natural alignments. Context: We just flew in overnight and I have a recurring injury from 2 long races this spring that have been plaguing my legs/lower back as well as a recent kink in my neck. We did trigger point therapy and this morning I've woken up pain free for the first time in a long while. I can't wait to take this new sense of comfort as we start off our vacation on the right foot in Playa! read more

Emily was absolutely fantastic and a pleasure to deal with. I went in with tightness all over, and I was amazed at how much she could clear up in just one session. I was so impressed, I made time for a second visit despite only being in town another few days. And I convinced my girlfriend to book a session, and she was equally impressed. Don't hesitate and book your appointment now! You won't find anyone better. read more

Exactly what I was hoping for. Emily is the real deal. Knowledgeable, professional, genuine and incredibly gifted at what she does. I have been searching for a treatment like this for years and even mentioned to her, that if I came to Playa just to receive this treatment, it was well worth the trip :). I have had one session with her and immediately I felt a relief with chronic neck pain I have been experiencing for over a year. It has been 5 days since my treatment with Emily, and I can say that I am still feeling so much better. Thank you, Thank you Emily! read more

Amazing massage! Emily is like a angel in human form. My wife gifted me a 90 minute birthday massage and it turned out to be one of the highlights of my Mexico vacation. I've been receiving high quality bodywork for 25 years and have to say it was one of the best sessions I've ever received. She is a true healer with with a generous intuitive gift. Beautiful relaxing music and workspace. Beautiful soul. Give her a try you will not regret it. read more

Wow. Emily is so good at what she does. She's so knowledgeable and had lots of tips and advice for me. Best massage I've ever had! I know that's saying a lot but to have someone with her expertise practicing was fantastic. I'll definitely be back. If you are in Mexico don't miss out! read more

I've never had "body work" Emily takes the time to get to know your body and things that may be going on that need some TLC. She focused on my rotator cuff problem and knew exactly what to do. She is so knowledgeable and just precious. She does it out of her house which is so calm and relaxing and beautiful atmosphere. I'm very happy to have found her! Try her out you will not be disappointed. I slept like a baby too! read more

Emily was awesome. Went in for fascia work and left with a new diet plan as well as a foam rolling regimen.

What a gem to have discovered in the Playa Del Carmen area!! I was in desperate need for a good massage and a massage therapist that knew what they are doing. We came into town last night from the New England area where we got blasted with a great deal of white fluffy powder, well one must play in that white fluffy powder!! My body was in major pain from hours on the snowmobile to the point where it hurt to carry my bags. I searched on google and came across Emily's site and wonderful reviews. I was able to set up a same day appointment for 90 minutes and my husband and I walked from downtown to her condo which took about 17 quick minutes. Her condo is in a very safe area and never once did I feel uncomfortable being in her home. Emily did a health intake, discussed with me the course she would take for my massge and I swear it was THE BEST massage I've ever had and I've had a lot!! Emily did trigger point, deep tissue and mayo facial I was in 7th heaven. Emily is highly trained, intelligent, easy to talk with... Thank you Emily read more

I found myself in Playa Del Carmen for the usual reasons of sunshine and Xmas holidays; I would travel back there-6487 kilometers and 30 years just for Emily! My only regret is not being the first one to discover her and write a sufficiently meritorious review. She is patient, totally competent and is passionate about her profession and delivery of top notch service and results. She further referred me to another professional who in turn was also amazing. I think I have finally figured out the whole shoulder issue. Thank you so much Emily; the little green rubber ball is my souvenir! read more

After my very first session, it is very clear to me why Emily receives nothing but 5-star reviews. She is able to combine guidance on holistic health and healing with myofacial release and deep tissue massage. I am 64 and have endured chronic pain from degenerative disc disease and occupational injuries for over 30 years. I have tried all the conventional treatments with little to show in terms of lasting improvement. I am very pleased with my first session and the prospect of real healing. Emily truly has "hands of gold". She is an extremely knowledgeable and incredibly talented Therapist ! read more

My husband and I were in need of a massage. So I found Emily here. We were both greeted kindly and she was very hospitable. Emily was very professional and knowledgable of our needs because she asked about our history before working on us. Each of us have different aches and pains and she focused on those for each of us. She even went above and beyond for me by showing me other treatments I can do from home to help relieve my neck pain. We would definately reccomend her to anyone looking to get a massage for a solid value for they money. Thankfully she accepts credit cards. She has over 20 years of experience in this industry. Her location is easy to find and near tons of healthy restaurants. Thank you Emily. Big hugs! read more

I knew I'd only be in Playa del Carmen for a few days, and after a physically strenuous and emotionally draining few weeks, I knew that I wanted and needed some bodywork. The first thing that impressed me about Emily was that she literally has dozens of reviews and every single review is five stars, which I don't know if I've ever seen. I then read through her website and was even more impressed to see how many different types of degrees she has related to healing, so I contacted her and booked a two hour appointment. Her workspace is comfortable, comforting and inviting. Emily gave me two hours of the best bodywork I've ever had. It's always been my belief that the most important trait to make someone a great healer; Actually, the most important trait that makes someone great at almost anything is not education and experience (which I believe is likely the second most important characteristic that makes someone great at what they do and Emily has years and degrees of background and experience), but is actually CARING about what you are doing. Emily clearly cares...a lot. She believes in her work and she truly cares about healing and it's obvious. She was also not shy to say that she feels like she gets as much reward by healing others as we have by being worked on by her. I live in New York City and I have yet to find a massage therapist/bodyworker as amazing as Emily, and it was a pleasure to have been her client. If I am ever in the Yucatan again I will be on her massage table! read more

I almost didn't want to share a positive review since I really wanted to keep Emily a "secret." Emily's energy and massage therapy were amazing. I had wrist pain that she worked on and felt great relief. I actually went back two days in a row for a second massage. I will be back! read more

Emily is the sweetest, nicest, knowledgeable therapist I ever met! I can't express enough gratitude for how much she helped me. I walked in in a lot of pain, and left like a new person. She not only relieved my pain, but gave me hope that things can be better. I so wish she was in LA. Thank you Emily!!! You are absolutely AMAZING!!! read more

was on vacation at Playa del Carmen 1 week ago today. I was in alot of pain on my left shoulder. I yelped and came across Emily, she quickly responded and immediately scheduled me into her busy schedule. I felt very comfortable with Emily as if I had previously met her. She was very concerned, detailed and ask of my prior health history and immediately started to work on my shoulder, neck, back, and legs for an hour and half. I was so amazed at her strength and experience. I felt immediate difference there after and my pain was somewhat gone. I wished I was closer to her or that I could have gone back for a second session. I so Highly recommend Emily to everyone! read more

Emily was so good! She asks a few questions up front to better understand your body so she can help you get the most out of the session. I wish she lived in my hometown and not just one of my tourist destinations... read more

I get different types of body work done frequently, and have for a number of years. I have done so all over the world and with many different practitioners. It's with no nonsense the I straight up tell you that Emily is the next level of practitioner. I sequestered L5 S1, among other injuries and frequently wake up in pain and sustain it through large parts of the day. After a thorough evaluation Emily started to work on me and the amount of improvement I've received from just one session is almost unbelievable. It's about two weeks with very little, if any at all back pain. I feel younger and happier. She gave me some tips and exercises to do when I get back home and was overall just a wealth of knowledge. I know this sounds too good to be true, but seriously, people. If you have problems pay this woman a visit. As I mentioned I've gotten a ton of massages/bodywork/Chiro etc. in my life and I can't remember any that were as therapeutically beneficial as the session w Emily. read more
