Brief Personal Bio
Emmy grew up in the Catskill Mountain region of New York State. After earning a BA in Biology,she traveled solo, for more than two years, around the world spending much time in Asia.  Later, upon settling in the Boston area, she studied the cultures and languages of China and Japan and returned to both countries several times.  She has always had a life-long love for theatre and spent much of her spare time both on the stage and working backstage. She studied shiatsu massage and had her own private practice in her Cambridge, MA apartment for 10 years.  For 15 years she worked in the field of epidemiologic research at the Harvard School of Public Health where she earned an MS degree. Prior to her 40th birthday, she gave in to a strong desire to connect to the earth in a more meaningful way and to live a more sustainable lifestyle.  She left her job and began a two-year journey across the United States that finally led her to Port Townsend where she and her new-found partner Adam began a life as organic farmers.  At age 42 she gave birth to her lovely daughter, Aurora in Port Townsend.  Emmy is so pleased to know motherhood through her delightful daughter, finds it hard to recall those days when she didn't grow her own food, and still dabbles in theatre.  She loves teaching yoga and invites you to attend her class.
