Beyond the mats, Emily is a performance consultant and coach who draws on developmental psychology, fine art training, and the perceptual skills honed through a lifetime in martial arts to help individuals and teams operate at their highest level. She is also a devoted mother to three great humans and wife to fellow black belt Gerry Hurtado.
