Emily Gondar-Besser, LMT
Emily has been a licensed massage therapist since 2023. Her journey began after she went to school at George Mason University with a BA in Anthropology. Graduating during 2020 at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic made it extremely difficult to find any job in her chosen field. She took odd jobs here and there, did some soul-searching and finally found her true passion - helping people through massage therapy! Life may have taken her into an unexpected direction, but she is so grateful as this is the best career she could have ever asked for!
Her first job out of massage school was at Art of Health where she further honed in on her skills. She grew alongside other incredibly gifted LMTs who she still has the privilege of continuing on with today.
Her approach to healing and bodywork is to listen without judgement, ask questions, then provide therapy that will serve each individuals needs. She believes that doing the work of self-care and integrating other therapies are just as important!
When Emily is not massaging, she enjoys playing video games, listening to music, and spending time with her husband and pet bird.
