About Emily
Emily is the author of the bestselling book Stress Less, Accomplish More which debuted at #7 out of all books on Amazon. Her recent accomplishments provide a stark contrast to the stressed out Broadway performer she was ten years ago. During her decade-long career on Broadway, which included roles in Chicago, The Producers & A Chorus Line, she began going gray at 27, suffering from insomnia, underperforming at work, getting sick 4 to 5 times a year, and believing this was all “normal.”

Thankfully, she found a powerful practice that cured her insomnia and improved her health on the very first day. Her physical and professional transformation was so dramatic that she felt inspired to share it with others.
One year later, Emily left Broadway for Rishikesh, India to begin what would become 3 years of teacher training. She later founded Ziva in 2011, opened the NYC studio, and created the world’s first online meditation training.
After years of teaching thousands of people, Emily realized that meditation was not enough to help her students perform at the top of their game. So in 2017, she developed The Ziva Technique, a powerful trifecta of mindfulness, meditation and manifesting designed to unlock your full potential.
The New York Times, The Today Show, Vogue and ABC News have all featured her work, and she’s been named one of the top 100 women in wellness, has taught 20,000 students and has spoken on meditation for performance at Google, Apple, Harvard Business School and Barclays Bank. Ziva graduates include Oscar, Grammy, Emmy and Tony award winners, as well as NBA players, CEOs, busy parents, and entrepreneurs.

- Meditating to be Better at Life
Emily believes that we don’t meditate to be better at meditating but to be better at life, because so many people start meditating and end up quitting somewhere along the way because they feel like they can’t clear their mind enough to do it properly. She encourages people to focus more on the real benefits of meditation (like being kind, present, compassionate, creative, intuitive, and much more) which is what people really look at.
“None of us are meditating because we want to be excellent meditators” - Emily Fletcher
- Emily’s Meditation Backstory
She started meditating 11 years ago and teaching 9 years ago, but before that she had no idea what meditation was. She had been performing on Broadway for 10 years and her work there gave her a lot of stress, anxiety, insomnia, and other health complications so she signed up for a 4-day course wher
