“Emmy is truly an excellent trainer. She is the perfect combination of tough ("Emmy, you are KILLING me!") and encouraging ("you are SO strong"), and she works with the whole person -- mentally, emotionally and physically.

I was out of commission for 13 months with a lot of issues from surgeries. I needed to get my core stronger and my stamina and energy back. Working with Emmy, I was able to not only regain what muscle and flexibility I lost during that time, but doubled and in many exercises, tripled the weights I'm lifting. She is knowledgeable in anatomy so she understood everything I could and couldn't do and identified areas that needed to be stronger to help in my recovery. Emmy makes you work hard, but the payoff is clear. Through consistent and positive feedback and encouragement, she retrained my attitude while I retrained my body. She takes who you are and makes you better!”

“Emmy's private chef meal prep services are exceptional too. She inventories what we have on hand and makes meals using food we have in the refrigerator or pantry. Much less waste than when I'm in charge myself. Her menu choices are extensive. The dishes are delicious, creative and nutritionally balanced. My husband, a meat and potatoes kind of guy, loves her vegan meals and often eats my portion as well!”

Jill, age 61

“Emmy is THE ALL AROUND wellness professional you need when it comes to mind, body and spirit. She’s been my go to mentor and coach for the past 7 years now and I can’t give enough praise for how she’s helped better my life in all areas. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I suffered a horrific sports injury that limited my mobility and all the physical rehabilitation couldn’t get me back on track. Years went by and being extremely stubborn thought I could heal myself if no one else could. It wasn’t before working with Emmy did I decide to go plant based and take seriously what was fueling my body. She taught me how food is medicine, particularly organic whole foods.”

“Thanks to Emmy’s approach in understanding my background and history could she then take personalized steps for me that we’re actionable at the time. Her vast knowledge and understanding of the body and plant based foods married together she was able to detect key points of weakness I had that needed to get stronger in order for other areas to function properly, along with exactly what whole foods would aide in my strengthening journey. Her passion, conviction and discipline helped rehabilitate my injury and overall mindset that kept me stuck in resistance so I could move forward feeling renewed. I can’t thank her enough for her hard work and cracking my stubbornness. Emmy’s consistent positive reinforcement makes challenging moves fun (and doable if you need modifications), holds positive space to be vulnerable when insecurities surface, and above all she will get you to a new healthy milestone whether you set a goal or not. You will see results. PERIOD! I also work in busy restaurants where the environment is very fast paced and working with Emmy and implementing daily morning mindfulness practices has drastically reduced my stress levels and help me get grounded and centered every day."

Jacob, age 30

“I have been training with Emmy for 9 months. After several falls and limited ability to get up on my own, I knew I needed to do more. Emmy makes each workout challenging, creative and most importantly, fun. I look forward to our workouts! She places a high value on correct form with each exercise. Because of her efforts, I am stronger, more flexible and have better balance. My ability to walk has improved. My gait is steady and I have increased distance while improving my pace. Train with Emmy if you are serious about changing your life for the better.

You'll enjoy her spirit, sense of humor and appreciate everything she has to offer.”

Bob, age 86

“So I’ve been asked to provide a testimonial about Emmy’s personal training services or her vegan meal service. It would certainly be easy to extol her personal training services, as I’ve been using personal trainers for over 35 years, and Emmy is by far the best. I’m the strongest I have ever been, added 10 pounds of pure muscle (according to my doctor), and I now have legs instead of sticks. But I really wanted to talk about the vegan meal service, because I am a strict meat and potatoes kind of guy. I don’t even eat vegetables. So when my wife suggested we try Emmy’s vegan meal service, I was not particularly thrilled. But then the meals came, and I was surprised at how good they were, and honestly (sadly) how good I felt after eating them. She initially implied the meals contained meat, but I knew better and simply didn’t ask what’s inside. But for the record, her tofu can have the exact same taste as pork belly. And let’s be honest there’s nothing better than pork belly. And I won’t even get into the long story about the Beet Wellington she made, which was also delicious”

Kevin, age 60

“After training with Emmy, I truly know what holistic care means. She doesn’t just give you a good workout, she cares about helping you meet your goals just as much as you do. It’s abundantly evident that she loves what she does too. She has helped me gain pretty significant inches in mobility. And inches may not seem like a lot, but it’s really miles. I want to feel better in my body, and every session with Emmy helps me achieve that. My health continues to improve by her watch, which gives me more and more hope for the future. I’m grateful to have her not only as part of my weekly routine, but a cherished part of my life as well. She has grown from a very convenient trainer who showed up at my front door, to an encouraging advocate, friend, cheerleader, and champion for my health.”

Ashley, age 39

"Emmy’s plant based meals are insanely good! She takes the time to work with you, your spouse, or families needs and curate meals tailored for everyone without neglecting taste or nutritional value. I’ve been using her meals for years and I feel a world of difference in my body, my mental clarity, and overall energy throughout the day. I’m never bogged down or tired. With her meals I’m always full without being stuffed and somehow feel lighter at the same time. If you’re looking to venture out, try new things, or add some healthy meals on a weekly basis I’d seriously consider reaching out to her.”

Sam, age 42

“I started training with Emmy a few months after giving birth to my son. I came to her basically in a deficit with what felt like no core strength after an emergency cesarean. She was incredibly gentle with me, and encouraged me to cultivate that same gentleness toward myself. As a new mother, I was extremely judgmental about my level of fitness and self-image. Your body just doesn’t feel like your body anymore and it can feel pretty isolating. That’s where Emmy came in though. She made darn sure I never felt alone, and always held space for my most vulnerable moments. Her attitude towards healing and giving the body grace was contagious and helped me to feel whole. She taught me to transform my insecurities into deeper feelings of empowerment—like yeah my body is so strong, so resilient, so capable! It’s taken time, practice and consistency, but training with her has made me a better me. And now my core and pelvic floor are the strongest they’ve ever been, even before babies!”

Carly, age 34

“My workouts with Emmy always keep me on my toes. She emphasizes strength with safety, always ensuring I have proper form correction with everything we do. Her care for the little details go a long way and have helped me gain significant muscular strength since beginning to train with her. I’ve had other personal trainers in the past with little results, but with her I’ve really overcome some tough challenges that I’ve never been able to accomplish. She’s a big part of my wellness routine—one that I couldn’t do without. If you’re wanting to safely challenge yourself, learn more with every session, and look and feel your absolute best—she’s a must-hire.”

Matt, age 42

“Emmy is wonderful on so many levels! She is reliable and on time, every time. She is unfailingly cheerful and encouraging. So knowledgeable about the muscles and the workings of the body, she custom fits workouts to our level and needs. And we are learning so much from her in the process!”

Marjorie and Scott, ages 70 and 71
