Emily Filomena began her massage journey at a young age in New York City, where her early training laid the foundation for a lifelong passion for healing touch. After working as a physical therapy technician and developing a strong connection to kinesiology, she went on to graduate from two accredited massage therapy institutions, earning her licensure in 2016. Her professional experience spans a wide range of settings—from palliative care and clinical rehabilitation to working with elite athletes, including members of the University of New Mexico's athletic department and professional track teams. Emily specializes in therapeutic modalities such as manual lymphatic drainage, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy. Today, she co-owns and operates 5D Remedies Therapeutic Massage alongside her life partner, Angelina Gutierrez. Together, they’ve built a holistic practice that blends therapeutic bodywork with handcrafted, small-batch salves and massage oils—all lovingly created by Emily using earth-based, intentional ingredients.
