Emily Frieze-Kemeny

After spending two decades working within organizations leading the full spectrum of talent strategies, Emily finally listened to her calling and started AROSE in 2021 to help individuals and organizations heal, transform, and activate meaningful change. Throughout Emily’s career, she has worked with leaders in the C-suite – and those aspiring to be – across industries including technology, beauty, finance, publishing, home services, wellness, and non-profit. She has worked with a range of organizations, from well-established industry leaders with tens of thousands of employees to start-ups that are within their first year of formation. Emily wears many hats: facilitator, problem solver, solution provider, and thought partner to leaders who are transforming their organizations. She is also a healer and guide to individuals who want more from their lives. She practices transcendental meditation, is a certified energy healer (reiki), a vinyasa yoga teacher, and is trained in a form of peer-based counseling. Most importantly, Emily is a mom, a wife, a leader, and a great friend. She has a big heart, endless energy, and a passion for making the impossible possible. When Emily is not working, she is playing with her kids, spending time with friends and family, practicing yoga, meditating, skiing, learning tennis, consuming everything she can about healing and enlightenment, and traveling the world (well, pre-pandemic).

“The genius is in the details of this place. Simple . elegant and chic. The food is always creative, delicious and healthy. The staff is right on. There is nothing they won’t do to make you comfortable. And then there’s the Spa. It’s the big embrace when you walk through the door. The whole place is a huge container of LOVE.”

Elaine Mackle

“Really enjoyed my time at Menla. It’s amazingly peaceful and quiet, the people are incredibly nice and approachable, the humility of the Dalai Lama permeates throughout the place. The accommodations are nice and the food is great.”
