Hi, I’m Emma — Perinatal Massage Therapist & Birth Doula

Headshot of Emma Huvos, Prenatal & Postpartum Massage Therapist Serving Burlington, VT and Surrounding Areas.

I’m a heart-centered space holder, a fierce advocate, and a firm believer in the power of healing touch. My work is guided by my commitment to helping people get to know and trust their bodies on a deeper level, empowering them to reclaim ownership over their physical, mental, and emotional well being.

In addition to being a certified massage therapist with specialized training in prenatal and postpartum massage, I have attended 50+ births as a professional birth doula and volunteered with the University of Vermont Medical Center Volunteer Doula Program, building skills and experience that shape my work with people during the perinatal period. I offer a nurturing, trauma-informed approach to bodywork that blends Swedish massage, deep tissue therapy, and myofascial release to support the body, mind, and spirit.

Outside of my work, I find joy in gardening, bouldering, yoga, kayaking, playing with my three-legged rescue pup, and my role as a foster parent. I live with my family in Essex Junction, VT.
