Hello!

Raised in Dumont, New Jersey, Emma Millheim embarked on a journey of self-discovery by pursuing her twin passions for psychology and dance at Muhlenberg College. Having danced since the age of two, she embraced a diverse range of styles and expressive forms, which deepened her understanding of movement as a profound means of communication and healing. Her experiences within the Muhlenberg Dance Department, coupled with a transformative semester at Italy’s Accademia dell’Arte, enriched her creative voice and solidified her conviction in dance as a powerful tool for personal growth and healing. Throughout her academic path, Emma earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and Dance Science.

 

Her fascination with dance science sparked a strong commitment to dance/movement therapy, where she merges her passions to foster healing and empowerment through movement. She is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Rider University, with a concentration in Dance/Movement Therapy, and is expected to graduate in Spring 2027. When not working at My Studio Advantage, Emma supports residents at Brightview Senior Living through concierge services and by facilitating engaging activities for those in the memory care unit living with dementia. With unwavering determination to support individuals facing mental health challenges and physical trauma, Emma stands at the intersection of psychology and dance, devoted to championing the power of movement as a pathway to holistic healing.
