Services
Long distance healing sessions enable you to connect with your own inner wisdom to help recognize what your body needs to heal itself. Working remotely via phone, FaceTime or Doxy.me, my long distance therapeutic sessions combine energy healing, mindfulness techniques, intuition, and imagery and dialoging.
I love what I do, I feel that bodyworkers are on the front line of health care and I take that responsibility very seriously. I enjoy combining assessment and a clinical approach with the more intuitive side of bodywork.
I feel that my strength as a massage and CranioSacral therapist comes from being able to treat the client's symptoms as well as the underlying cause, which can be a combination of physical and structural as well as emotional and energetic issues.I value a client-centered, holistic approach to health care.

The Upledger Institute certification process ensures a keen understanding of anatomy, physiology and CranioSacral Therapy techniques. CranioSacral Therapy is a very gentle, light touch approach that releases tension in the central nervous system so that every other system in the body can relax, self correct and free itself of pain and discomfort.
Visceral Manipulation is a soft hands-on manual therapy. Underneath the pain or diagnosis is a compensatory pattern created in the body with the initial source of the dysfunction often being far from where the pain is felt. Because of this, the practitioner searches for this pattern and the source, and treats the related tissues.
Most massage and bodywork techniques are traditionally performed with the client unclothed; however, it is entirely up to you what you want to wear. You should undress to your level of comfort. You will be properly draped during the entire session. CranioSacral sessions are usually performed with the client completely dressed and other techniques such as visceral manipulation can be performed in shorts and a bra.

Going to Emily has me spoiled! Her knowledge of the human body is vast, only to be superseded by her gentle care and attention to detail. Each massage is unique to every individual session, which I greatly appreciate. I can't recommend her enough, and look forward to many more years of superbly therapeutic massage work.

Emily is a truly gifted body worker. As a physical therapist, I find it challenging to find body workers who I feel are able to listen to what is going on and translate it to effective relief. I have worked with emily for more than 5 years now and she is the only person I trust in caring for my body. She is talented in listening to your symptoms and caring for you with an intuitive quality that is hard to find. Also, her space is incredibly serene and inviting. Highly highly recommend!!

There is a reason Emily has only five star reviews. She is amazing. She can make you feel “good”, which I love but more than that she can zero in on the trouble spots. I had chronic headaches that no longer plague me and she has helped bring my frozen shoulder back to normal. I’d go to her every day if I were movie star rich.

Having gone to many massage therapists throughout my life, I have stayed with Emily for years and with good reason. I visit her monthly and she has helped me not only with the normal aches/pains of daily living, muscular pulls and sport injuries, but with digestive issues due to an autoimmune disorder as well. She is also trained in CranioSacral Therapy which is so gentle and relaxing. Emily's studio space is inviting, calming, private (and smells so good!), and she is always respectful of and concerned about her clients. Give yourself a treat and go see Emily!

Emily is amazing. She is a very gifted healer and intuitive. I have been dealing with a lot of anxiety and trauma in my body. My session with her directly addressed the areas in my body where I was still holding onto negative energy patterns that were causing physical issues. It worked to communicate to the tissues and cells of my body that I am safe and can let go of old wounds. Her bodywork skills are beyond what one could learn in a classroom setting, I feel it's something she must have been born with. Emily embodies what it is to be a healer. I highly recommend her services.

I have had many massage therapists, and Emily is by far the most gifted and effective I have ever worked with. She is extremely knowledgeable about body mechanics, and has helped me heal many issues. She educates as well as treats, and provides a safe place for healing and relaxation. I cannot recommend her enough. Do yourself a favor and work with Emily! She is amazing!

Emily is a true healer! I've been seeing her over at Dahlia Healing Arts for several years now and her massage and craniosacral therapy is an integral part of my health and well-being regiment. Emily has a true gift at being able to tune into what ails my body (and mind) during every visit. I always leave feeling balanced and energized, especially when I come in with various states of stress and anxiety and/or tightness and soreness.
Emily does a great job at blending swedish massage with craniosacral therapy in her bodywork and I am extremely grateful for how she's helped me deal with and mitigate

Getting therapeutic body work with Emily Crocker is a dream! I see Emily for everything from a sore foot to stress to an achy back to just a treat for myself. She is so intuitive, and approaches each session really comprehensively - she doesn't just massage your muscles, but rather considers how your fascia, organs, etc. are impacting your situation. Every time I have body work done with her, I regret not having booked a longer session. Thank you, Emily!

Emily is an amazing bodyworker, she is excellently trained in everything she does. I am a Rolfer and have had tons of people work on me and she is in the top 3. Her sessions are individualized and never the same. When I am not available I recommend people see her. Emily is very easy to be around and very calming. Her office space is beautiful. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you try Emily.

Emily is an incredible massage therapist. If you're having pain she takes the time to really listen and understand the problem before treating it and offers helpful advice about things you can do at home to help you heal faster between sessions. Her body work completely resolved a lower back problem I'd experienced for more than a year and she's helped alleviate shoulder pain as well. Her studio is very private and so relaxing that I'm never ready to leave. Highly recommend.

I started seeing Emily for chronic neck and back issues, and the improvement has been enormous. I also have chronic recurring migraines, and as a bonus - I've seen both those improve too with regular craniosacral sessions. Emily is extremely intuitive and the sessions are a wonderful break in my day. Highly recommend.

Emily Crocker is Magic! She's pretty much one of the best body work practitioners I have ever encountered. I don't think it's too hard to find a really good massage therapist in Austin, but if you want a truly great one, go see Emily. She is skillful and intuitive, able to hone in on what is going on with my body and help me to correct it. I walk out of her peaceful treatment room feeling like I'm on cloud 9.
I've been to quite a few body workers over the years and Emily is on another level. I don't think I can quite put her work into words, you will just have to

O U T S T A N D I N G !
I can't emphasize enough of how wonderful and therapeutic Emily's healing touch is. I've been experiencing a newlyformed lower back issue ( part of aging I guess) and was recommended to her by a fellow physical therapist. She was very intuitive, well- versed and knowledgable. Her expertise showed as I left the session feeling pretty refreshed and with what felt like a new lower back!
I am excited to have found her in Austin! Amazing massage therapists DO exist :-)

Emily is a REALLY GREAT massage therapist. She is very intuitive in her understanding of the body and what it needs that day. She is always employing various techniques from her vast knowledge to get specific results. She is consistently good at making me feel great after every single appointment.
I am suffering from a major accident and have been seeing her to help me recover. I always walk out feeling a lot better than I walked in and she has been a huge help in my rehab so far.
Her space is always clean and is so very relaxing to be treated in.
You should go see her, you wont regret

I am an acupuncturist and have been receiving bodywork for years from many different therapists. Emily is one of the most intuitive healers I've ever received work from. I have seen her over the past several years for both massage and cranio-sacral sessions. She is highly skilled at both and is particularly attuned to with what kind of modality her clients would benefit from. She is not only very knowledgeable in regards to anatomy and physiology but is also sensitive to the physical manifestations of emotional and spiritual stress within the body.

Oh Dahlia, thank you for using your healing arts on me! I'm still not completely clear on how the light touch of a CranioSacral treatment works, but I know it works! I left the studio feeling taller, calmer, stronger, and more flexible. The studio is so beautiful and tranquil, and I cannot wait to return for a massage and more happy treatments for my chronically achy body. I almost don't want to spread the word about Emily at Dahlia because I want her all to myself, but I know I must share her with the world!
