Emily Kolb
MASSAGE THERAPIST
Emily was born and raised in East Texas but has spent most of her adult life in Austin. Her first career as a registered dental hygienist led her to pursue other trades after suddenly developing work-related back pain that limited her performance and quality of life. After experiencing the life-changing benefits of massage, she instantly fell in love and became fascinated with body work, and was drawn to a second career as a licensed massage therapist. She graduated from Lauterstein-Conway Massage School in 2014. After spending several years doing body work, she gradually became more interested in long-term pain management and moved to Colorado to become a Certified Rolfer. She graduated from The Rolf Institute of Structural Integration in 2018.
She finds Rolfing profoundly rewarding, as she gets a front-row seat to witnessing others grow, transform their minds and bodies, and become the best versions of themselves. Emily’s philosophy is that every client is unique and that optimal results are only achieved when she and her clients work together collaboratively while supporting each client in reaching his/her desired goals.
Other influences on her work include her massage therapy background and long time yoga and mindfulness meditation practice. Long hours of Breathwork, meditation, and yoga have given her a strong foundation of being present for others with care and compassion.
