Emily Ets-Hokin

Emily Fawn Ball is the founder and director of the HEAT Center in Buffalo, New York, which houses her healing practices of massage therapy, reiki and bodywork coaching. Off-site she facilitates workshops, other healing sessions, and transformational learning experiences rooted in the integration of body, mind, and energy. Known for making complex concepts accessible, she translates layered frameworks into practical, embodied understanding.

A Licensed Massage Therapist since 2009, Emily brings over 15 years of hands-on experience working with physical conditions, life transitions, and the deeper patterns held within the body. Her work bridges clinical bodywork with energy medicine, grounded in the understanding that physiology, personal narrative, and energetic systems are deeply interconnected.

Emily is a Certified Usui Reiki Master Practitioner and Teacher who has spent decades studying energy systems, including the chakra model, bioelectricity, and the relationship between science and the Sacred Arts.

She is the creator of Energy Mastery: Building an Adaptive Practice, where she teaches a grounded, progressive system for working with personal energy. Through a step-by-step approach—clear, protect, direct—her work offers structure without rigidity, guiding students to build a sustainable, adaptive relationship with their energy that supports both personal healing and how they show up for others.

Through her Substack platform Tending Fire, Emily publishes her written and audio series. Her authorship reflects the same core intention as her teaching: to make complex inner systems understandable, usable, and integrated into everyday life. Within this body of work, Borderlands explores the meeting point between psychology, spirituality, and lived experience.

A ceremonialist and ordained minister, Emily creates spaces rooted in curiosity, trust, and personal responsibility. Through her MOONWISE ceremonial program—including monthly New Moon ceremonies and ongoing support—she guides individuals in working with living intentions over time. Her work supports the development of clarity, resilience, and a more intentional relationship with one’s life force.
