About Emily
How did you get into Health & Wellness:
Emily Gunning has been fascinated by the intricacies of the human body for as long as she can remember. Growing up in an active household that valued movement and holistic well-being, she developed an early appreciation for how the body works to support us. Her interest deepened following a personal injury and a challenging course of treatment, which reaffirmed her belief in the saying, “If you don’t make time for your wellness, you’ll be forced to make time for your illness.” This philosophy continues to guide her practice and fuels her passion for helping others heal, move well, and return to the things they love—feeling strong, capable, and connected to their bodies.
What Wellness Means to Emily:
To Emily, true wellness goes beyond recovering from injury or alleviating pain. It means consciously reconnecting with the body, rebuilding trust in movement, and feeling supported and at home within oneself. With a background in health education and a deep passion for holistic wellness, she strives to create a space where clients can gain a better understanding of their bodies and develop sustainable, long-term strategies for well-being. She views wellness as an active, ongoing process—one that involves listening to the body’s needs and making small, consistent choices that lead to meaningful change.
What to Expect in a Session/Treatment:
Emily is intentional about creating a welcoming, collaborative environment where clients can slow down, tune in, and focus on their bodies. Each session begins with a comprehensive assessment that may include movement analysis, hands-on evaluation, and meaningful conversation to understand individual goals and concerns. Depending on the client’s unique needs, treatment may include manual therapies (such as cupping, joint mobilizations, myofascial release, and soft tissue therapy), personalized education, and a tailored exercise program to support recovery, build resilience, and promote confident movement.
How You Will Feel After a Session/Treatment:
Emily hopes clients leave her sessions feeling more than just physical relief. Her goal is for each person to feel empowered, with a renewed sense of connection to their body and confidence in their next steps. Clients can expect to walk away with practical tools that integrate into their daily lives, a deeper understanding of how their bodies function, and clarity on what their wellness journey requires moving forward.
