Emily has lived many lives before landing on the one she has now. She's a London born, Vermont raised, world traveler, who recently moved from NYC to Oakland, California in the midst of a pandemic and is currently in the process of starting a family with her fiance. Being that she graduated with a BFA in Musical Theater she spent the first part of her adult life performing and traveling until she eventually landed in NYC in order to be fully immersed in the musical theater melting pot. It was during this time in NYC that she found herself moving away from the theater world and finding more interest in her side gig at the time, fitness. It wasn't until she auditioned for a dance fitness company that she decided to fully immerse herself in the world of movement and wellness as opposed to continuing to pursue theater. Through her work in various areas of the fitness industry, she has discovered that her mission in life is to help people feel seen and understood as they discover and develop the tools needed to feel motivated and empowered in their own skin. Being a natural giver, and a Pisces, she has spent many years working with individuals and groups with the intention of helping people to build strength from the inside out. She has taught for companies such as AKT (Anna Kaiser Technique), The Class by Taryn Toomey, has taught and trained celebrities, danced on national TV, and has even appeared as a fitness instructor teaching a class on the HBO show, Doll and Em.
Her hope is that, through movement, coaching and the integration of mindfulness techniques, she can help those she works with to have a deeper understanding of not only their bodies, but themselves. She has run her own personal training business by the name of EMpower by Emily Mara for the last 2.5 years and is currently working virtually with clients 1:1 in addition to teaching classes via her website which will be relaunching at the end of this month. Emily has her Personal Training Cert, Corrective Exercise Specialist, Mental Toughness Course & Pre/Post Natal Corrective Exercise all through NASM and TRX in addition to Yale’s Science of Well-being Course, REBT & various healing modalities.
