Originally from Washington, Emma moved to Arizona in the summer of 2021 to earn her bachelor's degree in Biology with an emphasis in Pre-Physical Therapy at Grand Canyon University. She is now finishing her Doctor of Physical Therapy program at A.T. Still University and is expected to graduate in 2027. If you have a movement question or want to understand the why behind what you are doing, Emma is your girl.

Twelve years as a competitive gymnast means Emma has been through her own share of injuries. Along the way, she fell in love with the rehab process that helped her return to the mat. That path led her to two years working in an outpatient orthopedic physical therapy clinic, where she learned firsthand how to build trust with people at their most vulnerable and coach them toward progress one step at a time.

Emma brings that same patience and eye for movement quality into the gym, helping members train smart, build confidence, and work with intention. Her gymnastics background built a strong foundation in mobility and body awareness, and it shows in how she coaches, always with an eye toward strength that holds up for the long haul.

More than anything, Emma wants to help people realize what they are truly capable of. She is here to empower members to chase their goals and build the toolbox to handle whatever life throws at them along the way. She also loves nothing more than a member who asks why. Ask away. She is here for it.
