Marissa Emery, LMT
Massage therapy is more than pushing muscles around and helping people relax. It’s complex, layered, and unique every single time. It’s a sacred connection with someone else.
Marissa offers continuing education for massage professionals and accessible classes for caregivers, parents (and kids!) and partners.
She loves to work with people who are passionate, heart-centered, and want to make this world a kinder place.

Massage Training for Professionals
Over the last 16 years, I’ve worked with hundreds of massage clients, specializing in perinatal (pre- and post-natal) massage and supporting moms at every stage thereafter.
My approach blends a mix of modalities with intuition, deep listening, nervous system awareness, and a deep respect for each person’s pace and needs.
These days, I focus on teaching massage therapists who want to deepen their skills and confidence. I also support parents and doulas who want to confidently integrate more intentional touch into their care.
If you’re a massage therapist ready to grow, a doula seeking hands-on skills, or a parent needing support: you’re in the right place.
What I Believe
When you bring your whole self to a classroom setting, it allows for unexpected connections and synergies to appear.
Leading with empathy, deep listening, and authenticity. Every time.
Speaking up for what I believe in, having empathy for people I disagree with, and the power each of us has to make a difference in the world.
Massage plays a critical role in wellness.
Community-building is transformative.
