INTUITIVE LIVING
SOMATIC IFS SESSIONS WITH EMILY
MY PHILOSOPHY
- We have all developed strategies for coping with our lives, some effective, some destructive, some both. But what if we didn't have to look for strategies?
- I've found that true, lasting change comes not from trying to force a new way of thinking, or a new behavior, but from an allowing – a trusting in the body and a letting go. As a cognitive idea, that could seem simple or obvious. As an embodied knowing, it's nothing short of transformational.
- Over the course of my career, in the corporate world and in private practice, I've realized that for people to make the changes we want to make, we first need to rediscover much of what we are taught to ignore and dismiss as we grow up. We need to find a sense of trust in our bodies, our feelings, our intuition, and our capacity for intimacy.
- I work with people 1:1 to connect them more deeply with themselves and their bodies, so they can live richer, fuller, more satisfying lives.

About Me
I was born and raised in New York City. Having worked for many years in the corporate world trying to help people stay connected to their humanity amidst the relentless demand and expectation, over time, I found myself questioning
traditional methods of behavior change and growth. This work feels like the missing piece of the puzzle — an understanding of the system as naturally inclined toward alignment and coherence, and that reconnecting to calm, clarity, and energy comes not from pushing but from taking small, experimental steps - rather than leaps - of faith. In my private practice, I offer clients a parts-based somatic modality designed to connect them more deeply with their bodies to overcome whatever challenges they are facing. I have been in Amsterdam for 12 years and live here now with my partner and children.
