Hi and thank you for being here! I’m Emily, a London born, Vermont raised, world traveler, former dancer, who recently relocated from the Bay Area to the Twin Cities with my husband and our two little humans, Zuri (4) and Nya (2).
My mission in life is to help people feel seen and understood as they discover and develop the tools needed to feel motivated AND empowered in their own bodies. Being a natural giver and a life long mover, I have spent many years teaching and encouraging individuals to appreciate the power of their body. My hope is that, through movement and mindset coaching, I help those I work with to have a deeper understanding of not only the power of movement, but themselves. I believe that once we understand the capacity of our own physical strength, and create a strong connection to our inner self, we have the potential to live a more fulfilled life. I work with the desire to help humans feel confident, empowered and strong in the skin they are living in NOW, as they work to get to where they want to be.
Everything that Empower by Emily Mara stands for is based on years of professional experience in the field of fitness in both Los Angeles and New York City. I have trained celebrities, danced on national T.V. with Kelly Ripa, have worked for top brands in the boutique fitness industry in NYC, and have even appeared as a fitness instructor on the HBO show, Doll & Em.
Certifications include: NASM (National Academy of Sports Medicine) Personal Training Cert, NASM Corrective Exercise Specialist, NASM Mental Toughness Course, Pre/Post Natal Corrective Exercise (FitForBirth), TRX Level 1, Yoga Sculpt, and years of self study through various healing modalities. I am also currently in school to get certified as a Nutrition and Behavior Change Coach through Precision Nutrition.
Some of my previous work experience also includes training under and working with celebrity trainer Anna Kaiser at AKT (5 years) and being a teacher of The Class by Taryn Toomey in NYC (2 years).
Outside of running my own business and teaching live classes throughout the Twin Cities, I love being a girl mom, going to see live music with my husband, traveling to new places, being by the mountains or the ocean, and exploring new restaurants that do food and cocktails well.
