I’m Emma Freeman, a Mixed Media Artist, Soul Writer, Reiki Master/Teacher, Intuitive Medium, and Expressive Arts Teacher. I am a deep, sensitive and curious soul, intuitive and analytical, passionate and practical. I’m a spiritual seeker. I love questions, creative expression, discovering connections between unlikely things, playing, and exploring the depths of living this human life through authentic and vulnerable relationships. My favorite words right now are: love, mystical, portal, depth, magic, temple, sanctuary, joy and play.

What I have learned is that healing is a journey inward not a quick fix—it is about discovering our true essence, growing, expanding and unraveling through challenges, and reclaiming our radiant and joyful authenticity so we feel connected to our unique purpose in this life. My own very difficult journey over many years has led me to heal addiction, the relationship to my body, trauma from my past, chronic illness, depression, an eating disorder, and anxiety. I have gone into the dark places within me to discover they held light, over and over again. Somewhere along the way, I realized I was experiencing a spiritual awakening. At the beginning though, I just felt like I was falling apart and I didn’t know what was happening to me. This whole journey, which continues every day, has inspired me to support others as they awaken and heal. That’s how Deep Rooted Healing was born.

I have worked in the arts and arts education for 20 years and have trained in philosophy, studio art, massage therapy, human anatomy, biology, physiology, pathology, mindfulness meditation, various energy healing modalities including Quantum Touch, psychology, shamanic studies, art therapy and poetry therapy. I weave creativity, wonder and spirit into all I do.

I’m sober, Buddhist, an animal lover, and part of the LGBTQ community. I live in beautiful Oconomowoc, Wisconsin where I grew up. After many years away, I was called home to grow deeper roots.
