Our Team
Ms. Emily
PTA
Pediatric Physical Therapist Assistant
Emily is a warm and encouraging physical therapy assistant who loves working with children and their families. Emily is originally from Maryland, where she spent more than a decade as a professional dance instructor, teaching ballet, hip hop, jazz, and tap to students from ages three through eighteen.
During those same years, Emily served as lead choreographer for major drama productions at High Schools in Baltimore. Those years of guiding young dancers and performers shaped Emily's belief that the body is one of a child's most powerful languages. Now based in Oahu, Emily brings the same warmth, patience, and creative movement-based instincts that shaped her years in the dance studio to her work supporting children's physical development through play.
