I've been seeing Emily regularly for weeks. She's been great! When Jay came on board she suggested that I give him a try because of my on-going carpel tunnel pain. Jay has years of experience helping those with carpel tunnel. He knew exactly how to relieve pain and gave me some exercises to help reduce my discomfort. I have already scheduled out with him thru June. It's a huge relief to work with someone that's "been there and done that" with what I am dealing with.

I went to Emily with a gift certificate a friend had given me for the holidays. This was the first massage I ever had, and I couldn't have been more pleased with my experience.
First, the atmosphere at Cocoon Massage is warm and relaxing. Emily made sure that the room temperature was comfortable and my surroundings were pleasant.
Emily took the time to walk me through the next 60 minutes. Being my first massage, I was a little nervous and not sure what to expect. Emily was patient and accommodating, taking extra time to explain the process every step of the way. I had been experiencing some upper

Coming from a background where massage was used to treat pain, it was LIFE CHANGING to go to Emily. She knew exactly (without me saying anything!) where to put pressure, where to go lightly and how to make me melt in bliss into the table. I have never experienced anything better. Please, please do yourself a favor and just book one appointment. You won't regret it!

I came here for what I thought was a sushi house. This is not a sushi house.
Sorry to The young lass at the front desk. I was very confused at first. Then to further the confusion a member of your team walked out to the reception area... EATING SUSHI!
So you can see why I became all rattled.
After we overcame the obvious age barrier I was given a 30 minute free massage. I can't wait to come back to see the young man who looked like Dolf lundgren. If only I was 60 years younger... If only...

My 90 minute Bliss massage with Emily was amazing! She was so kind and concerned most about me having a relaxing massage. During the intake process, she wanted to get to know me better, but during the massage, was very quiet, which helped me relax so much!
The office she works out is really quiet, which helps. I'll definitely be back. Thanks Emily!!!

Emily incorporates a range of techniques such as lymphatic and neuro-muscular massage, to help relieve pain effectively. She is an expert at finding what needs to be remedied and with a deeply intelligent and focused touch, she is quick to change stuck patterns by manipulating these layers back to their once healthy form.
I came to see Emily for help recovering from the pain after two separate car accidents, and after each massage session I was well on my way to feeling better thanks to her. While her techniques are more in the subtle range of bodywork expression, I must say, it is regardless

I walked in with a doctor-diagnosed frozen shoulder and left with near full range of motion. For injury treatment, no technique rivals lymphatic massage. And Emily is a master practitioner of that as well as many other healing techniques.
Injured in a fender bender, I first went to Emily a year ago and saw her up to twice per week for several months. After healing - without scar tissue! - I continued seeing her twice per month for the sheer pleasure of it.
I recommend Emily's services without reservation.

Emily is deeply committed to her healing work. She fully expresses her skilled passion for lymphatic drainage and is very receptive to her clients needs. I had begun my first session extremely stressed and left Cocoon feeling like I was floating on a cloud. Lymph is a very subtle experience that will redefine the way you look at bodywork. I look forward to my next session witb Emily and will refer several of my personal training clients to her.

I was referred to Emily for Lymph Drainage Therapy (LDT) to help combat my anxiety and fatigue. Emily is a natural healer with a sunny attitude. Simply being in her presence is very calming and comforting; it is like getting a big bear hug. The LDT treatment is very gentle and deeply relaxing, yet rejuvenating. It also helps detox your body and boost your immune system. I have received the LDT several times, and will continue to do so as preventative and maintenance therapy for my health and well-being. I highly recommend this therapy to everyone.
