From an early age, I’ve been immersed in the art of dance, training in both Korean traditional and creative dance, as well as ballet. This foundation in movement served as the inspiration for my unique approach to Pilates, where I seamlessly integrate elements of Korean traditional and creative choreography along with the grace and precision of ballet.

My journey into teaching began at the age of 20, when I worked as a Teaching Assistant at my university. Building on this experience, I pursued further education at Ewha Womans University in South Korea, graduating with top honors in Physical Education. It was there that I discovered the transformative power of Pilates, leading me to establish Barbie Dance Studio. Through this studio, I have had the privilege of teaching both choreography and Pilates to a diverse range of students.

In addition to my work at the studio, I’ve had the opportunity to share my passion for health and fitness on various TV shows, where I’ve provided Pilates lessons to numerous Korean celebrities. This exposure has only fueled my dedication to mastering Pilates and refining my teaching methods, ensuring that my students can effectively engage their muscles in ways that promote optimal functionality.

My ultimate goal is to be a source of positive influence for my clients, guiding them on a journey to holistic health and well-being.

She believes that tolerable levels of pain or discomfort may be beneficial at times during treatment but should be mixed with some enjoyable modalities and levels of pressure as well. Emma naturally works at a moderately deep pressure but can use more or less pressure when indicated. This means that although most of her patients are being treated for pain, she aims for you to leave feeling better than when you came in. Emma takes the time with each patient to come up with a specific treatment plan, and encourages you to think about what you want to get out of massage therapy before your appointment.

Through both past and present participation in hiking, cycling, swimming and yoga, Emma understands the importance of maintaining an active lifestyle. These interests have allowed Emma to further appreciate sport in relation to injury and rehabilitation.
