A formerly stressed Broadway performer who was going gray at 27, Emily discovered a powerful practice that cured her insomnia and improved her health on the first day. The Ziva Technique is a powerful combination of mindfulness, meditation and manifesting designed to help you get better at life, not meditation.

Ziva graduates include Oscar, Grammy, & Emmy award winners, Navy SEALS & NBA players.

It’s Emily’s mission to help as many people as possible achieve extraordinary benefits — like dramatically reduced stress, anxiety relief and deep, restful sleep.

• “We move into a very specific style of meditation…that’s really where the magic happens because when you start healing your stress from the past, your brain starts functioning better, your body starts functioning better.”
• “It’s not that meditation takes away all your demands, and does not make your life inherently less stressful. What meditation does, is it allows you to adapt to the demands of your life. And it’s doing that by giving your body this deep healing rest and increasing something that we call adaptation energy.” 
• “We don’t act in accordance with what we know. We act in accordance with the baseline level of stress in our nervous systems.” 
• “Most people think that meditation means clearing their minds and then they just sit there feeling like they’re failing, then really what they’re looking for is excuses to not meditate. But once you understand that, like oh, this thing’s gonna make me better at all the things that I love, then your brain actually starts looking for reasons to do it.”
