Emily L. Butler
Emily is an Eden Energy Medicine and Stress Management Specialist, with a deep and heartfelt love of the healing arts. Emily discovered the holistic healing arts early in life, when seeking alternative ways to solve her own health challenges as a young woman. Today, after thirteen years of study in movement healing and the healing arts, she inspires clients by passing on the enthusiasm gleaned from her personal successes on the healing path.
Known for her practical, creative and down-to-earth approach, Emily’s intimate connection with natural healing also makes her one of the field’s most compassionate teachers.“I’ve stood in the client’s shoes before,” she says, “so I understand how much a client needs support from me, not just in terms of correct technique, but on the human level. Having the courage to change your life and heal yourself deserves respect, attention and compassion. I can assure you that the support you get from me is truly guilt-free.”
Many years ago, a yearlong internship under the tutelage of Saratoga Springs Acupuncturist Deborah Kozlowski introduced Emily to the foundational theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and gave her a rich appreciation of the healing arts. She soon discovered Eden Energy Medicine, which borrows from Traditional Chinese Medicine and other ancient healing traditions, yet offers a unique and sophisticated system tailored to the demands of our modern times. Impressed by the sophistication of EEM, and inspired by the system's remarkable founder Donna Eden, Emily took years of classes and then joined the Eden Energy Medicine Certification Program.
In addition to her studies with Eden Energy Medicine, Emily infuses her practice with the body awareness gained from a lifetime of dance training, three Yoga Certifications (Ashtanga/Iyengar from Urban Yoga, Prenatal Yoga for Women from Janice Clarfeld and Yoga Trance Dance teacher training from Shiva Rea) and exploration in the Alexander Technique. Emily also holds a Reiki Level II certification, and Phi Beta Kappa, Summa Cum Laude distinctions from Skidmore College.
Above all, she stresses empowerment in her practice. “Learning that you can heal yourself is a personal revelation. Once you learn these skills, you will have them for life.”
She maintains a private practice in Manhattan, offering workshops, guest speaking events and retreats throughout the East Coast.
Our job is not to make our bodies heal, our job is to get out of the way. The body knows how to heal. All of our cells know how to heal. When we stop interfering with the process, healing happens. We have infinite intelligence inside of us.

There is a vitality, a life-force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and be lost.
-Martha Graham
We have within us stores of patience and practicality, intuition and invention, all of which are called to play in difficult times. Not one of us is a saint, and yet we carry within our hearts the strength of ages...
-Julia Cameron
