OUR FOUNDER

EMILY BUTTS


Hey there! I'm Emily Butts, a nationally board-certified & California licensed occupational therapist deeply passionate about holistic wellness. In 2020 my professional journey took unexpected turns, leading me to explore new avenues in pursuit of a more fulfilling path.

Before the pandemic, I dedicated my professional life to working in the skilled nursing and home health care setting. My mission was to assist individuals in regaining independence and improving their overall quality of life. However, when the world shut down, and I found myself at home with my children, everything took a different turn.

The lockdown period prompted a reevaluation of my priorities. While caring for my family brought newfound peace, I recognized a need for personal and professional transformation. Immersing myself in health and wellness platforms during this time became a turning point. Implementing newfound knowledge, I witnessed positive changes in my family's well-being. Motivated by these shifts, I sought a career aligned with my evolving values..

One day, a podcast interview with David McCullar, founder of Inception, caught my attention. He discussed various modalities designed to optimize the body’s functional capacity. This led me to the Bay Area Brain Spa, where a visit on Mother's Day proved to be life-changing. Enthralled by the transformative effects of their treatments, I shared my passion with everyone around me. Recognizing my enthusiasm, the owners offered me a position, and I eagerly embraced the chance to learn more, particularly about lymphatic drainage.

Fueled by these experiences, I am now double-certified in manual lymphatic drainage, certified in PEMF therapy, certified in Medical Taping Concepts lymphatic taping, and the founder of InnerGreat Lymphatic Care Practice. Here, we are dedicated to providing holistic, personalized care to help our clients achieve optimal health and tap into their own body knowledge. My experiences have emphasized that well-being encompasses more than just physical health; it intersects with mental and emotional well-being. I am thrilled to share these holistic approaches with you at InnerGreat Lymphatic Care Practice.

  • “I need this experience on a monthly basis! At least! With the hustle and bustle of Life, Work, Kids, all of that, this experience was exactly what I needed. During my treatment, I felt a calm that I haven't felt in a long time, and in that moment, I understood that I need this experience regularly as part of my self-care regimen. This is a must! The occupational therapist who provided my treatment, Emily, is very knowledgeable and experienced with her skill set. And I'm so grateful for her services. I seriously felt like I was walking on air when I left. Thank you!”

  • “My first impression of Innergreat was wonderful. Emily greeted me with a wonderful friendly smile. The space was extremely clean and warm. I loved the energy in the room. My first lymphatic massage was fantastic. Emily has an amazingly light and healing touch. I had an upper body session. It lasted about 45 minutes. Emily explained what she was going to do before she began the session. I loved the deep breathing exercise she had me do before she began. Afterwards, I definitely felt less bloated and lighter. I noticed a difference in my face when I looked in the mirror. I actually felt more energetic. I would highly recommend Emily. She also had information for me to take home to read about the advantages and benefits of manual lymphatic drainage. I definitely plan on coming back.”
