Podcast 212: Interview with Emma Destrubé

Today we have a special guest, Emma Destrubé. She is a licensed acupuncturist, herbalist, and physician of East Asian medicine, as well as a somatic movement therapist and Continuum teacher. Beginning in her teens, she apprenticed under somatic movement pioneer Emilie Conrad, founder of Continuum. Together they researched and developed fluid movement/sounding protocols for neuromuscular compromises and other therapeutic applications of somatic movement and breathwork practice. Emma holds a private holistic health care/healing arts practice in Los Angeles, where she helps to cultivate vitality with patient-empowering, poetic medicine including acupuncture, herbalism, somatics, and energy work. Her patients are a broad mix of creatives, celebrities, athletes, artists, activists, meditators, and even children. She also teaches weekly online classes called Soma – a Continuum-based subtle movement, breath, and embodied meditation practice that sources somatic inquiry in the wisdom and poetry of Taoist medicine.Learn more about Emm through her website: https://www.emmadestrube.com/about or her social channels: Instagram | Facebook | LinkedIn Hear more from Emma at my upcoming Whole Health Summit!
