ABOUT EMILY

Emily Generazzo, is the creator and founder of Not Your Average Mermaid LLC. A Boston native, currently residing in the sunshine state, her mission is to provide a place for people of all ages to feel connected, and empowered as an outpatient therapist, and a registered yoga teacher.

Emily grew up in a small ocean-side town with dreams as big as the ocean. After getting stuck in the repeated cycles of life, she decided it was time for a new adventure. Emily took the plunge, and applied for her dream program at Lesley University. Once accepted, one job turned to three, anxiety increased, COVID-19 hit, and the waves seemed high to balance on. Mental health concerns were troubling during 2020, for the entire world. The value of family, friends, and community were challenged.

Emily moved back home, living with her parents, and four siblings under the age of nine. This offered her a sense of “chaotic peace.” Emily’s gift from the universe was a chance to slow down, and become re-born with a sense of love, and purpose. Emily, and her young siblings created virtual yoga classes for her community to engage in, while offering a bit of normalcy during a disconnected time. All proceeds went to supplies her aunt made for cloth masks to protect essential health-care workers. This cause was close to heart, as their parents were working at Mass General Hospital.

The power of community was rewarding, and paved the way for her ideas around healing in “Not Your Average Settings” Emily pushed through, and graduated to receive a Masters in Clinical and Mental Health Counseling, with a specialization in Holistic & Expressive Therapies. Emily has combined her wellness passions, and clinical education to offer space for her clients to expand the mind-body connection.

As my earth grounds me
My air guides me
My water nourishes me
And my fire, sets my soul.
