About Emily
Certified Sound Therapy Practitioner & Founder of Sacred Sounds Studio in Fort Collins
Welcome to Sacred Sounds
Hi, my name is Emily. My passion has always been to connect with people on a deeper, more meaningful level.
After witnessing the transformative effects of those who experienced sound tuning and sound bath meditation, Sacred Sounds Studio became a dream come true.
Here in Fort Collins, we’ve created a space where you can simply relax, release, and reconnect — or go deeper within yourself to find that quiet place where everything is connected.
From Skeptic to Sound Practitioner
This work is hard to explain — and even harder to believe.
Coming from a Western medical background, I was a skeptic at first.
But science and experience changed everything.
After seeing the measurable benefits of sound therapy in countless clients, I knew there was tremendous value in these new discoveries — where ancient wisdom meets modern science.
Underneath it all, sound is more than vibration — it’s the language of our energy field.

The Universal Truth
We Are All Connected
The essence of who we are transcends the boundaries of social structures, religious systems, and cultural constructs.
As Ram Dass reminds us, “All spiritual teachings point to dissolving the illusion that we are separate.”
We are never truly separate. Our human minds — or egos — only believe we are.
And so, we keep looking outward for what can only be found within.
This illusion of separation is the root of much suffering —
and sound offers a path back to connection, harmony, and wholeness.
Emily's Personal Journey
Early Life & Spiritual Foundations
Emily was born into a traditional Buddhist family in Taiwan. Growing up, she witnessed divine miracles and spiritual wonder.
After immigrating with her family to the U.S. at age 13, and later being baptized in a Christian church in her 20’s, her spiritual journey took a deeper dive through mindfulness meditation.
From Medicine to Mindfulness
With over 25 years of clinical experience in podiatric medicine and surgery, Emily has cared for thousands of patients—each encounter offering deeper insight into the intricate relationship between mind and body. Through this lens, she came to recognize the inherent limitations of the Western medical model, which often isolates physical symptoms from the broader context of emotional and spiritual well-being.
A Shift Toward Holistic Healing
Life’s challenges — including a 20-year marriage that became one of her greatest teachers — became catalysts for Emily’s deep inner transformation. Through decades of inner work and following guidance from the divine, she learned to truly value herself and discovered how to hold compassionate space for others on their own paths of growth.
As a physician, Emily began to question what real healing truly means. Years of clinical experience had shown her that Western medicine, while incredibly advanced, often treats the body in isolation — focusing on symptoms rather than the emotion and energy behind them.
This realization opened the door to a more holistic understanding of health — one that honors the whole person: body, mind, and spirit. It was here that Emily began weaving together her medical knowledge, mindfulness practice, and the transformative power of sound to help others return to balance from the inside out.
The Calling of Sound Energy
The Science and Spirit of Sound
In recent years, Emily’s path has expanded to include training in end-of-life care and psychedelic-assisted therapy — experiences that have profoundly deepened her understanding of what it means to be human, our fully-lived experience. These explorations reminded her that there is so much waiting to be discovered — or perhaps remembered.
Through this expanded awareness, Emily found herself drawn to the transformative power of sound energy, a calling that now forms the heart of her life’s work.
Her mission is to help people feel liberated and free — to reconnect with their natural state of freedom and joy. At the heart of every human being is the desire to be happy — and true happiness, she believes, comes from inner freedom.
Not just freedom in the physical sense, but the deeper, spiritual kind — the freedom to live without fear, without the weight of judgment, and to realize that we are always guided and loved.
Emily believes each of us is born sovereign, with the innate power to live a life aligned with harmony, integrity, and our divine truth.

Why Sound?
Sound is the most primal form of energy — the vibration from which all creation began. “In the beginning was the Word.” The “Word” here implies cosmic vibrations from the Creating force, before any physical phenomenon was formed.
The right vibrations entrain our whole being and reconnect us to the Source.
The positive feedback from her clients echoes the growing scientific research that confirms the magical healing power of sound.
Emily’s passion is to help people reconnect with their essence – or our divine Inner Self, which is always connected to and part of the Oneness.
As Ram Dass reminds us, “We are all walking each other Home.”
