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).

“I loved every minute at Menla. It was as if heaven was delivered to me on earth–the people, the food, the services at the spa, even my walks to the meeting room were infused with magic. I was greeted with so much warmth and caring with every interaction.”

Janice Rous

“A Paradise in the mountains. Usually you expect basic accommodations for a Retreat Center, but the rooms are amazing.”

Beth Silverman

“A getaway you will treasure! Fresh air, silence, mountains, streams, mossy stones, pond, and trails. A break from the outside world. The staff is extra friendly, personable, and helpful. The food is grown on-site, fresh, and amazing. The accommodations are nice, clean, with diverse options. The perfect retreat location–go to Menla whenever you get the chance!”
