Emily Weer Bio:

Emily Weer has more than 27 years of experience in healing arts and therapy based work. Currently living in North Lake Tahoe, her spirit loves adventures in nature, immersing in spiritual practices, and playing Music. 

     She first received Reiki training and Energy Healing Modalities in 1997 while paralleling her B.S. degree in Outdoor Education and Psychology @ Appalachian State University.  Her occupation in Wilderness Therapy evolved through her early 20’s as her curiosity and education in the healing arts continued to blossom and take priority. 

     Emily studied many modalities of bodywork and gratefully landed at Esalen® in 2007 for her first Massage course with them. The Healing Art of Deep Bodywork, Shiatsu, Thai Massage, Cranial Sacral, Shamanic Healing, Sound Healing, Sports Massage, and classes with PT’s to work with injury rehabilitation all feed into her personal practice yet Esalen is the foundation and the practice that ties it all together. 

     When she is not in her office, traveling, or exploring the mountains, she is often found playing Sound Healing Journeys, Kirtan music, teaching and practicing yoga and tantra and immersing in her community. Her nurturing and caring energy shines through in her teachings and music which she generously offers from her radiant heart. 

She loves to collaborate and you can see what she is up to on www.EmilyWeer.com
