Providing you with a safe space to relax

I am a trauma informed practitioner and will always regard your safety and trust as the most important aspect of our work together. I understand the complex nature of trauma and ensure that as my client you are empowered. This time is for you, completely.

  • "Emeilya is the most talented massage therapist I have ever seen. She can find your problems and work them out. She will help you with your pain and discomfort, not just give you a massage and send you on your way."

    Megan D

  • "I've been to a dozen massage therapists before finding Illumination, finding success yet mostly routine maintenance. Emeilya understands and wants to pursue the root of your ailment, and how to avoid future injury. The education offered alongside the therapy helped me to understand my body better and finally solve all my aches and pains. I highly recommend to anyone who hasn't found the massage they're looking for, Emeilya's it!"

    Nash E

  • "I've tried a few times to see massage therapists for back pain, and often the therapists don't seem to provide individualized treatment based on what I tell them, but Emeilya is different! I explained to her my very specific back issues and she was able to provide personally tailored care for my particular type of pain and back knots. I would highly recommend this practice for transformative massage experiences!"

  • "I had a 60 minute massage with Emeilya on a Friday and was the perfect end to my week! She helped me feel comfortable and was able to listen to what I needed help with (tech neck ) from typing all week. Was a great massage for targeting my stress areas neck and shoulders and felt like I was floating on a cloud at the end! All those pesky knots were gone, I will be a repeat customer :)"

    Lauren

  • "As someone with a Spine Disorder, I am always looking for a massage therapist who is sensitive and knowledgeable, able to know intuitively what will work for my body. Emeilya got my back feeling good and moving well again in only a single session - I went from having tweaked my back to feeling good again. Would recommend her to anyone - she is a natural at what she does. Thanks so much Emeilya."
