Hello new friend, thank you for being here.

My name is Emily and I’m 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 and Nya.

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 own bodies.  My hope is that, through movement and embodiment coaching, I help those I work with to have a deeper understanding of not only their bodies, 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 achieve anything we want. I work with the desire to help women feel confident, empowered and strong, in the skin they are living in NOW as they work towards where they want to be.

Everything that EMpower by Emily Mara stands for is based on years of professional experience in the field of wellness 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, and TRX in addition to a Level 1 certified Behavior Change Coach through Precision Nutrition. I am currently getting certified as a Psychosomatic Practitioner through the Integrative Psych Institute with the goal of helping people to navigate and process past traumas.

Outside of running my own virtual studio and personal coaching business, some previous work experience includes being a Master Trainer and the Hamptons Director for Anna Kaiser of AKT, and being a teacher of The Class by Taryn Toomey (both in NYC).
