Emily DePauw

I am a movement and performance coach. 

I work with high-achieving, heart-centered performers and athletes looking to enhance and sharpen their physical performance, prevent injury, and remove limitations.

For over a decade, I have worked as a choreographer, dance coach, personal trainer, and a certified Postural Alignment Specialist with the Egoscue Method, where I helped hundreds of people overcome chronic pain through corrective exercise.

I grew up dancing, playing basketball, singing, and playing the piano. While I did all of these at a competitive level well into young adulthood, dance prevailed as the constant love of my life. I see all movement as art, and I am most fulfilled helping people fully express themselves with their sole instrument: their bodies. My coaching programs are a perfect blend of realignment and physical training, designed to help you connect to your body on a deeper level and access a higher level of performance, energy, and joy. Our body is an intelligent, intuitive instrument. The more we listen and honor it, the better we feel.

Unleashing Your Movement

Is Not Just Physical

It is a holistic process that encompasses not only biomechanics but also the mental and emotional aspects of how you carry yourself and approach your craft. 

This offers an opportunity for profound growth — the more you're willing to dive in and commit to a daily practice, the more substantial your personal development will be. I speak from experience. A few years ago I realized that the majority of my physical well-being and performance is determined by my mental state. The same holds true for everyone.

When it comes to your abilities and well-being, self-trust is key. Do you fully trust your body right now? Or are there “flags” that you push through, and accept? 

For example, if you regularly run 30 miles per week but struggle with nagging knee pain on your right side, or you are a highly skilled dancer and notice a discrepancy in your strength between one side and the other, you are enforcing an imbalance that you have probably come to simply “accept.” The same applies to any activity: golf, mountain biking, skiing, surfing, cross fit, soccer, ice skating, tennis, rock climbing, etc etc….I am happy to report the activity is not the issue. The body you take INTO the activity is what needs attention!

You are capable of changing that. You are not required to accept these limits and disparities as the norm, and you’d be surprised how quickly your body can improve when you start to bring it back into balance! You can choose to level up and achieve your own personal greatness. Unleashed Movement is here to help in your journey.
