EMpower Wellness Training

My name is Emily Vasey, owner of EMpower Wellness Training. I think my love for fitness started at a very young age. I grew up doing cartwheels, flipflops and climbing up on anything that was high enough for me to do a flip off of. My passion for gymnastics quickly turned into a love for springboard diving, where I was able to compete on the UND Swimming and Diving Team. I graduated from UND with a Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Education and a Minor in Nutrition. Because of a back injury from gymnastics, I spent a lot of my high school and college years trying different types of treatment to help alleviate pain. Massage therapy was by far the treatment that helped me the most! In 1999, I graduated from Myotherapeutic studies of Massage and became a Licensed Massage Therapist in the State of ND. I also became certified through ACE as a Personal Trainer in 2004 and a Health Coach in 2005. in 2016 I became an ACE Sports Conditioning Specialist. I am also certified as a Mossa Group Power and Group Groove instructor. Recently, I left a full time job at Sanford Women's Health Center. I had been working as the Program Development Coordinator, Massage Therapist, Group Fitness instructor and was in charge of the Personal Training department since 2002. I developed and ran the Adventure Fit Camp program at the WHC, which became a huge passion of mine. I believe we need to create balance, not only in our bodies through exercise and nutrition, but also in our mind and spirit. Helping others is my passion! Seeing the change in someone throughout their fitness journey is incredible! Not just physically, but also emotionally. My clients become healthier, stronger and most importantly, more confident in all aspects of their life.
