A bit about Emily

Emily was raised in Westport, Connecticut, she went to Elon University to studied psychology and she received a Master's Degree in Industrial Psychology, by the age of 23.

She lived in Los Angeles and New York City as a young adult, managing the careers of artists, musicians and celebrity clientele while enjoying lots of yoga on the side.

Along the way, in her own search for truth and bliss, she discovered Vedic Meditation and soon began the path toward becoming a teacher.

Emily grew as a teacher after graduating from her training in India in 2018 and going from living in an apartment in New York City to traveling and teaching worldwide.

She's taught everywhere from Canada, to the Netherlands, Australia, India, Israel, and throughout the United States.

In October 2023, Emily Co-founded a non-profit with the initiative to bring the practice of meditation into conflict zones and spent a month teaching in the middle east.

Emily teaches the four day 'learn to meditate' course for new students, hosts free weekly group meditation for current students, and offers advanced courses for students looking to dive deeper into eastern philosophy and Vedic wisdom.

She is also a private mentor for many students.

Today, Emily lives in Austin, Texas with her dog, Lucy and continues to travel worldwide.
