i wanna write these things down. the way a straw vibrating in it's lid makes a sound like a flock of geese. it's magic. i feel magic and i'm vibrating right now. my hearing has changed. the light is different. emily huber has a studio in her apartment in brooklyn. she is an artist. she can make you fly. she is a magician. she doesn't use drugs or smoky mirrors, but she uses her hands. and spirit - she has a tickly, funny, warm spirit that reaches in and tries to get you to come out from wherever you are. (me, i'm on the floor). emily is a healer. she is a maseuse, yogi, spiritual, spirited health practitioner. recently after hearing about her via. my boss, moon and the lovely ladies of lava, (and so many others...) i went to see her for a massage. we ended up doing positional therapy and massage. emily went way over the hour. i was in serious pain. she talked about the little things, and the story that each one of us has invented for ourselves. i really appreciated hearing about that. i wanna know more. i definitely plan on going to see emily again. i seriously have been hearing about emily FOREVER. i know i've probably met her / hung out with her and just don't remember. my story - part of my story, and what i told emily about when i walked in to her studio / when i was filling out the initial consent / form for the practice) was dealing with the history of anorexia, obesity, bulemia. the "hypervigalence" that hovers around. i sort of freaked when i was s'posed to take off my clothes. (i opened the door and asked "my pants too?" - ("yes!") we found out the half frog is my pose. it's not actually my lower back, like i thought - it's my 2 joints? my siatica? we released them and it was awesome. my legs were 2 different lengths when i went in, and emily made them even again. it's all about the hips. mine are fucked up. i felt like i was floating on a cloud. i forgot to say - when i walked in, em greeted me with a cup of water. how cool is it to be greeted with a cup of water? (especially on a 101 degree day?) i have wished i was there a that cup of water threshhold so many times since i went. i can't believe it was only 2 days ago - it seems like so long ago. positional therapy is truly magic. emily applies pressure to a point on your body. she'll ask - "does this hurt?" or "is this tender?" and usually it is. so she'll adjust it, and then apply the same pressure to the same point, only this time there's no pain or tenderness (thus the magic) poof... just like that. and you'll think she's not pressing as hard or something, but she totally is! this was the magic and "little things" emily was talking about (that i love) - one of the many very simple things we can do to release. it doesn't have to be, like we all tend to think, these gigantic, enormous things we must do perfectly. it's just... little things. magic. xoxo read more

I've sent several friends/family to Emily and regardless of what kind of commitment or healing folks are after, everyone has raved about her ability to find a process that is best for them. I have been working/playing/learning/healing with Emily Huber for a few years now. A session on the table with her is an opportunity for her to share her vision and talents for healing. it has also been an opportunity for me to gather my own strengths and visions for healing. In our sessions we begin with positional therapy to lengthen and stretch my legs and hips. Then Emily lays hands in a combination of massage therapy and energy work to relieve chronic pain and to dig up and get rid of all the junk i've stored away in my body. Sometimes our sessions are about harm prevention, sometimes they are about recharging, sometimes they are lessons to learn; each session is always an opportunity to build mind/body/heart connection. Afterwards, as she hands me a glass of water and assesses how open I am, she reminds me to take it slow and to be kind to myself. Emily also provides some gentle nudging to continue to do daily exercises she's assigned over time so that I'm doing my part between visits. Emily is gifted and kind and sparkly. i've grown immensely with her. read more

I never intended to be a local connoisseur of massage therapists, but it ended up that way. I have tried many masseuses in the nearby vicinities to the Slope area. There's a reason why each time a try a new masseuse, I end up coming back to Emily. She's just great in so many ways; in addition to providing an excellent swedish massage, she delivers a KEY suppliementally positive environment for mental relaxation. You cant relax unless you mind relaxes too...Emily knows this. I hate going to a masseuse where I tell them whats wrong with me and they just miss it entirely. Or when their miniature hands are made of sandpaper or they simply lack the strength and endurance to go a full hour and just drill their elbow into you for the entire massage. Neither of these qualities is true for Emily; you will find that she is a KEEN listener and her strength unwaning. She will hit the pressure points and focus on the problem at hand. I may veer off the beaten path every now and then, but in the end, I am always back to her. read more

Emily strikes a beautiful balance between training and intruition. I usually walk in jumbled and unsure of what I need, and always trust her to sense what needs doing. She always does. After deciding I wanted to take care of my body, I saw her weekly for a few months, and was changed. Not only did she reorganize my poor muscles, her work made me conscious of how I hold myself day to day. If you haven't tried positional therapy, I think you should! It's like magic. I am not joking. She inspires me with the joy and energy she puts into her work, and the way she shares her techniques with anyone who wants to learn. Try learning this hip sequence with a friend - I think you will be amazed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6R7VXGq1mI read more

I went to Emily last weekend while visiting Brooklyn, and I have had many massages in my life but none that have left me feeling as balanced and recharged as Emily's did. She incorporated positional therapy (which I had never heard of) into traditional soft tissue massage. At first I was a little skeptical, but when I got up of the table at the end of the session, I could immediately tell a difference. I was not only more relaxed, but I just felt like everything was back in its proper place. Emily is extremely knowledgeable about many different types of body work, and taught me some basic things to help maintain the benefits of the massage between sessions. I will definitely be going back! read more

Emily is amazing! I first saw her by chance because I'd woken up at my boyfriend's apartment with my neck thrown out and Emily's practice happened to be downstairs. After several incomparable massages with Emily, I found out that she is the only massage therapist many of my dancer and athlete friends trust with their bodies. Emily has healed me in times of serious injury and aided me with long-term physical issues; she has also been gracious and flexible about in-home visits for sick friends whom I had referred to her. Without hesitation, I can say that Emily is the best massage therapist I've seen. There is no one I wouldn't refer to her and there is no one else to whom I would refer anyone. read more

I had a crick in my neck the size of a professional boomerang. I think it was from having two tiny kids... and working... and simply trying to keep all my plates in the air. I went to Emily hoping for relief, but only expecting a relaxing moment of peace. I was thrilled to get both, and more. She matched her movements to my breathing, went as deeply as I urged, continually checked in with my experience without taking me out of it in a needless barrage of questions. Quite frankly, it was one of the best experiences of deep tissue work I've ever had. Add to that her sparkly, warm personality and I was hooked. Now, if only I could get her to move into my home... read more

I went to Emily for arthritis in my shoulder. I was recently diagnosed, in near constant pain, and very worried that it was going to get worse. Emily got right to work, and it wasn't the yummy massage you might get at a spa. It's hard work. It was painful at first, but over time, and with her endless patience and kindness I am now almost without the all day every day pain I had been suffering with for the last 20 years. If you have any ongoing pain, or any new pains, I urge you to go visit Emily and figure out a therapeutic treatment plan. I'm not one to exaggerate, but I have to tell you, Emily's work with my shoulder has changed my life. read more

Emily has been my personal trainer for years. Going to sessions is like hanging out with a friend who keeps you focused on your goals! Personally, I need help with my flexibility and core strength.
