Emily Gondar-Besser (she/her)

Massage Therapist

What motivates you to come to work everyday?

To meet with my clients, check in on their lives and their bodies and alleviate stress and pain.

What is your favorite part of your job?
Helping my clients feel relaxed. I love the sound of a deep breath!

What is your favorite holiday?

Thanksgiving. I have fond memories of large Greek family gatherings with endless feasts and fire pits. We still keep up this tradition every few years.

Tacos or pizza?

Pizza. My favorite is margherita- chewy crust, tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, basil and a drizzle of olive oil on top. Yum!

If you could be any animal, what would you be?

A bird, any kind. I just adore them all so much. 

Emily has lived in the DMV area since she was 6 years old. She has always felt a passion for connecting with and serving her community.

Now, as a massage therapist since 2023, she continues her calling through caring hands and kind touch. She is the type of person that will stick with you, from the best of times to the worst. She felt that same sentiment from the people of Healwell. Their message reaffirms her belief that massage therapy should absolutely be integrated into healthcare for all.
