Testimonial #1

"My New Year's resolution for 2008 was to exercise and experience better health and living. Through a work colleague I made contact with Emily. I have been doing the personal training program two to three mornings a week. The results have been excellent. The sessions are fun and rewarding. I am feeling so much healthier in only three months, (25lbs lighter!), and I am excited to continue learning and working with Emily. The massages are excellent too!"
Chris - Solar Energy Systems, Brooklyn NY

"I highly recommend visiting Emily and her sanctuary! I have had a yoga class and several deep tissue sessions with her. Emily's vast knowledge of anatomy and physiology informs her work, and her intuitive energy is amazing. Can't wait to have another session soon!"
Emma McGregor, Manhattan NY

Testimonial #3

"After not having done yoga (let alone any exercise) for the past three years, I passed by Emily's studio on the way home from work one night and on a whim I emailed. Within a few days I was signed up for one of her amazing classes. I attended with a bit of apprehension, yet Emily was very warm and welcoming and made me feel at ease right away. After years of being in large classes where it's easy to go unnoticed, having such an intimate setting really put the focus on what I was doing properly and what needed adjustment; It was almost like having a private session. I had such a wonderful experience that first night that I have permanently signed up for class once a week. One of the best parts is that at the beginning of each class, she asks if there is something we would like to work on. One night I came in with intense back pain; We worked on one position and my pain was gone that night… it was incredible.

With an intense week and busy schedule, it's really nice to have one day of the week end on such a wonderful note. I can honestly say I haven't felt this peaceful in many years."
Heather Guthrie, Brooklyn NY

Testimonial #4

"I have worked with Emily for both group and individual yoga instruction. I was immediately impressed by her vast knowledge of human anatomy, and how the various poses work the different muscles of the body. Similarly, I took note of her attention to helping her students achieve proper alignment in the asanas, even when this means taking time out to show the student a modification that will work better for his/her own body. I now have a personal understanding the added value one gets from working with a yoga teacher who is also a licensed massage therapist and personal trainer. Lastly, Emily's cheerful and encouraging personality make working with her a pleasure."
Lauren Porsch, Manhatten NY

Sheila Callahan, Manhattan NY

Testimonial #6

"Emily is amazing, she really does "see through her hands", it's almost as if you don't have to tell her where you sore spots are! If you ever need a massage, I HIGHLY recommend her! "
Darlinda Just Darlinda Performance Artist and Burlesque Performer, Brooklyn NY

Testimonial #7

"Emily is wonderful. I was moving through my day a little too fast. I fell down and injured my shoulder. Emily saw me right away and helped restore movement and balance throughout my body. She Rocks!"
Toshi Reagon, Brooklyn NY

Testimonial #8

"I heart Emily! After suffering from a painful kink in my neck for over a year I finally decided I needed to get it (among other intermittent back issues) taken care of and took the recommendation of a friend to call Emily. I figured that it would take at least a few sessions to work the kink out, however a couple of days after the very first massage, it was gone! It was like a gift to be able to turn my neck in all directions without pain for the first time in so long. So I am of course grateful to her for that. But in addition to that and through more sessions, I've also come to appreciate massage not only as a treat (which indeed it is!), but also as both a preventative and restorative means to better physical and mental health. And I think of Emily in particular, as a kind of healer, who becomes familiar with my body and its individual tendencies and administers the appropriate remedy. I find it refreshing and reassuring to know that there is someone as caring and dedicated to her craft as Emily on my side."
Phoebe Summersquash, Queens NY

Testimonial #9

"I first came to Seeing Through the Hands Studio about a month ago. I have had terrible posture and shallow breathing most of my life. I always felt more comfortable sitting with a slouched back, shoulders rounded and head forward. With Emily's stretches and gentle guidance I have made tremendous progress in SUCH a short amount of time! Emily was able to observe in detail which muscles I needed to stretch in order for my chest to open up. She gave me a series of simple yet challenging n stretches to do at home and in class, and everyone I know is already complimenting me on my improvement. Breathing deep has ever been easier for me, I look and feel taller and i wake up looking forward to seeing how my body improves every time I practice. I would highly recommend Emily's yoga class to anyone, as they are tailored to one's individual needs and taught with grace and love."
Nathalie Lewis, Brooklyn NY

Testimonial #10

"I went to Emily at the urging of a good friend. I waited and waited and waited until I was in enough pain to call her in, what felt like, an emergency. I'm so sorry I waited so long-- it feels like I've found a secret, buried treasure right in the middle of Brooklyn. Emily absolutely, without question has a very special gift-- and truthfully it feels more like a magical power."
Rachel Friedman, Brooklyn NY

Testimonial #11

"I started my yoga practice with Emily at Seeing Through the Hands to help me get fit after my first pregancy because nothing else I had tried worked. Not only is it a relaxing, and peaceful time, but I haven't felt better in years. I've also been able to continue yoga through my 2nd pregnancy, and it's made all the difference. I feel better and more engergized than my first. Emily's thoughtfullness and professionalism have been awesome, and she is totally tuned in to my needs, customizing my practice to my pregnancy. Seeing Through the Hands rocks and I highly recommend Emily!"
Jen Watts, Brooklyn NY

Testimonial #12

"Emily's prenatal massages are the best in the world! She is very considerate and thorough, and with all the aches and pains that come w/ pregancy, Emily's massages are the cure! I highly recommend!"
Jen Watts, Brooklyn NY

Testimonial #13

"I started working with Emily after years of strength training in the weight room. I play women's professional football and have always thought that lifting weights would help improve my game and make me stronger. I started doing personal training sessions with Emily focusing on core body work and stretching. I definitely needed the stretching routine as I am not the most flexible person to say the least. I am impressed at how intense her workouts are, working with my own body weight is extremely challenging and she pushes me to stretch my comfort zone. Don't let her warm and sparkly appearance deceive you, Emily has me drenched in sweat by the end of a session. She is also an amazing massage therapist. I highly recommend her as a personal trainer, yoga instructor or massage therapist, she is truly gifted."
Laura Kulaw, Brooklyn NY

Testimonial #14

"I found Emily in a search for a massage therapist that graduated from the Swedish Institute, as I am just beginning my massage therapy training there. the experience of receiving shiatsu and swedish/sports massage from her has made me much more excited to pursue this career. A massage from Emily is absolute bliss, a lasting rush of containment consciousness, and I left her feeling like my life had improved. Her massage reminded me of the gift of being in this body. she is so caring and generous with her time (and talent!!) I honestly can't wait for another session. And, for those of us starting a frugal new year... check out the early bird special!!"
Chelsea Lorber, Brooklyn, NY

Testimonial #15

"If you're in the tri-state area, I *HIGHLY* recommend Emily Huber for body work."
Natasha Muniz, The Bronx NY

Testimonial #16

"I'd never had a professional massage before, and when unprecedented physical pain drove me to Emily she far exceeded my hopes. The massage was incredible both in how relaxing it was and in how technically proficient Emily was — she clearly knows her craft through and through. Even better, Emily didn't just give me a stopgap solution; she talked me through the root causes of the problem and showed me ways that I could learn from this symptom and work to improve my health more generally."
Fureigh, Brooklyn NY

Testimonial #17

"Emily your hands are magical! Thanks so much for turning me into a mush. I'm still floaty. =)"
Nedra Jonhson, The Bronx NY

Testimonial #18

"Perhaps it's trite to call a massage therapist a miracle worker but Emily is very close!. She not only helped me with my joint pain, she also coached me with important self-care tips."
Kelli Dunham, Brooklyn NY

Testimonial #19

"The name of Emily's studio, Seeing Through the Hands, is literally perfect. She can sense and treat the needs of your body the way only a true healer can. I am so glad I found her and know her and feel total trust putting myself in her hands."
Angela Jimenez, Brooklyn NY

Testimonial #20

"As a massage therapist, I have often wished for the ability to replicate myself in order to receive the thorough and satisfying body work I give others. My first session with Emily felt like that wish came true. Her technique and intuitive awareness provided the comprehensive restoration I needed. She is definitely my local "go-to" bodyworker from now on!"
Jessica Egan, Brooklyn NY

Testimonial #21

"Coming from a yoga background but being an avid gym-goer, I'd always wanted to work with a personal trainer but was turned off by the trainers I'd seen at the gym. It took a long time to find someone who understands the place of both yoga and traditional cardio/strength training methods and could offer me a healthy blend of both. Emily was well worth the wait! I look forward to greeting the day with her sunny disposition and genuine love for what she does. Her commitment to her clients' healing and well-being is unmatched."
Michelle Neuringer, Brooklyn NY

Testimonial #22

"Emily, thank you for the fantastic massage and wonderful tips! I feel taller and lighter today! After all those hours studying and writing at the computer, my neck really needed some serious help - and I found it in your hands. As an Italian living in California, I have tried many massage therapists, chiropractors, acupuncturists and reflexologies, both in Europe and in the US. You are among my very favorite ones. I am so happy I found you in my brief stay in NYC. I will continue to practice the poses you taught me and to look at your stretching videos. Thank you so much making me feel better."
Cgiara Logli, California

Testimonial #23

"Emily Huber is one of the best massage therapists I've ever gone to. She is very giving, cares a lot, and has a very warm and inviting energy about her. She provides helpful advice regarding wellness and it's been beneficial working with her. She is the kind of professional massage therapist that you want for treatment."
Jaime Carrillo, Brooklyn NY

Testimonial #24

Testimonial #28

"After a massage from Emily, I feel completely relaxed and joyful! Her knowledge is extensive, and her touch refreshing! It is clear that this is much more than her work--through her touch it is apparent that she is passionate about what she does, and the love flows through every massage she gives. For those that have walked through the Michigan woods--Emily's massages are a blissful reminder of that glorious feeling."
Allison Bear, Brooklyn NY

Testimonial #34

"A friend recommended Emily to me as a massage therapist last year and I feel so lucky for it! I can honestly say she gives the best massage I've ever had and I've gotten massages from New York to New Zealand. She has an intuitive sense of what muscles to work on. Plus she's really sweet and has a cozy place!"
Laura Graham, Brooklyn NY

Testimonial #35

"Really thank you for our session yesterday. When I left your house, I was so grounded + light in my body and was moving as slow as the earth and that felt amazing. I don't know if you knew how much you were taking on when I first walked into your space -- but you are a great healer and i'm glad and stunned that it has been so possible for me to open up the way I need and want to. My chest is still open... So thank you."
Kara Lynch, Brooklyn NY

Testimonial #36

"I would absolutely recommend Emily as a yoga instructor and massage therapist! Her yoga instruction was clear and reassuring and allowed me to challenge myself without fear or anxiety. The massage was transporting -- I don't know how Emily knew exactly what kind of stroke and what level of pressure I needed in different parts of my body -- but she did! I felt I was in the hands of a master and was able to relax completely."
Sherri Venokur, Brooklyn NY

Testimonial #37

"Ok, NYC friends--I just got back from my massage therapist Emily Huber and had the most amazing experience ever (yes, I'm evangelizing). She's just started doing position therapy, and all that I can say is that it's MAGICAL! If you have any body stuff going on, you must look her up!

I've spent the last many years in regular pain from an old hiking injury and what I like to refer to as "scholar's shoulder." Whenever I go for massage, I know that I'm pretty much in for an hour of discomfort, but that the benefits are well worth it. Today, all that changed. My trigger points are gone and were released pain free! I do not believe that this is a quick fix, but something that will need to be maintained in body memory over time. But that said, I spent most of my session laughing and saying, "This is ridiculous!" or "This is unbelievable!" because I was so flabbergasted by the results. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, otherwise check out Emily's page--she also offers student discounts and has early-bird specials mornings Mondays-Wednesdays! Really, it's totally amazing!"
Celene Lillie, NYC

Testimonial #38

"Not only did Emily's clear instructions for a few slackening positions help me find immediate relief when I was in acute pain from a pinched sciatica, but her continued knowledge and insight are helping me to find a new balance and ease in my body that I have long sought.

She is clearly a gifted healer who is trained in a variety of traditions and techniques. Her generosity with information and ideas as well as her supportive and positive nature inspire me to find my ideal path to well-being."
Julie Strong, Manhattan NY

Testimonial #39

"i wanna write these things down. the way a straw vibrating in it's lid makes a sound like a flock of geese. it's magic. i feel magic and i'm vibrating right now. my hearing has changed. the light is different.

emily huber has a studio in her apartment in brooklyn. she is an artist. she can make you fly. she is a magician. she doesn't use drugs or smoky mirrors, but she uses her hands. and spirit - she has a tickly, funny, warm spirit that reaches in and tries to get you to come out from wherever you are. (me, i'm on the floor). emily is a healer. she is a maseuse, yogi, spiritual, spirited health practitioner. recently after hearing about her via. my boss, moon and the lovely ladies of lava, (and so many others...) i went to see her for a massage. we ended up doing positional therapy and massage. emily went way over the hour. i was in serious pain. she talked about the little things, and the story that each one of us has invented for ourselves. i really appreciated hearing about that. i wanna know more. i definitely plan on going to see emily again. i seriously have been hearing about emily FOREVER. i know i've probably met her / hung out with her and just don't remember. my story - part of my story, and what i told emily about when i walked in to her studio / when i was filling out the initial consent / form for the practice) was dealing with the history of anorexia, obesity, bulemia. the "hypervigalence" that hovers around. i sort of freaked when i was s'posed to take off my clothes. (i opened the door and asked "my pants too?" - ("yes!") we found out the half frog is my pose. it's not actually my lower back, like i thought - it's my 2 joints? my siatica? we released them and it was awesome. my legs were 2 different lengths when i went in, and emily made them even again. it's all about the hips. mine are fucked up. i felt like i was floating on a cloud. i forgot to say - when i walked in, em greeted me with a cup of water. how cool is it to be greeted with a cup of water? (especially on a 101 degree day?) i have wished i was there a that cup of water threshhold so many times since i went. i can't believe it was only 2 days ago - it seems like so long ago. positional therapy is truly magic. emily applies pressure to a point on your body. she'll ask - "does this hurt?" or "is this tender?" and usually it is. so she'll adjust it, and then apply the same pressure to the same point, only this time there's no pain or tenderness (thus the magic) poof... just like that. and you'll think she's not pressing as hard or something, but she totally is! this was the magic and "little things" emily was talking about (that i love) - one of the many very simple things we can do to release. it doesn't have to be, like we all tend to think, these gigantic, enormous things we must do perfectly. it's just... little things. magic. xoxo"
