Her recent accomplishments provide a stark contrast to the stressed-out Broadway performer she was ten years ago. During Emily’s career on Broadway, which included roles in Chicago, The Producers, and A Chorus Line, she began going gray at age twenty-seven, suffering from insomnia, underperforming at work, and getting sick four to five times a year—and believing this was all “normal.” In 2008, Emily was introduced to a powerful practice that cured her eighteen-month battle with insomnia on the very first day. She stopped going gray, she stopped getting sick, and she started kicking ass at work (and loving it). Her physical and professional transformation was so dramatic that she felt inspired to share it with others. (Location 3764)
One year later, Emily left Broadway for Rishikesh, India, to begin what would become three years of teacher training. She founded Ziva in 2011, with the opening of the New York City studio, and created the world’s first online meditation training program. (Location 3770)
After years of teaching thousands of people, Emily realized that meditation was not enough to help her students perform at the top of their personal and professional game. In 2017, Emily developed the Ziva Technique: a powerful trifecta of Mindfulness, Meditation, and Manifesting designed to unlock your full potential. The proven benefits of the Ziva Technique include decreased stress, less anxiety, deeper sleep, improved immune function, increased productivity, and extraordinary performance. (Location 3772)
