About the author
Emily A. Francis is a massage therapist and holistic health practitioner whose books, both published by Llewellyn, connect physical bodywork to emotional and energetic wellbeing. The Body Heals Itself: How Deeper Awareness of Your Muscles and Their Emotional Connection Can Help You Heal (2017) argues that muscles store emotional experience and that pain in the body can reflect unprocessed feeling, encouraging readers to pay attention to that connection as part of healing. Whole Body Healing: Create Your Own Path to Physical, Emotional, Energetic & Spiritual Wellness (2020) broadens that framework into a wider set of hands-on practices spanning physical, emotional and spiritual dimensions of health. Francis writes for a general readership interested in bodywork and self-directed healing practices rather than for clinicians, presenting muscular tension and emotional history as linked concerns to be addressed together. Her books sit within Llewellyn's body-mind wellness catalogue.
