A two-room studio on Alder Street

I spent twelve years as a physical therapy assistant in Reno. Two of the clinics I worked in had red light panels, mostly for post-surgery patients, and nobody had time to explain to anyone what they were or how to use them properly.

In 2021 I went over the bars on a gravel ride and spent a winter rebuilding a shoulder. The physical therapy rebuilt it. The panel I bought for home is what got me through the evenings. I slept better on the nights I used it. I liked how my legs felt after long rides. And I never once skipped it, which is more than I can say for my stretching.

I opened Emberline in 2023 with two private rooms and medical-grade panels. I wanted a place where someone could try this properly, with a person who would answer their questions and a door they could close. Tessa has been here since the first month. Between us we know who wants the music off, who runs late on Tuesdays and who needs the eyewear explained twice. That is the whole business.
