Why chop at the end of your last name? I started chopping, dyeing, pedicuring, manicuring, waxing and giving facials two and half decades ago. Hi and welcome. I’m Emily Gibson and I am a chop, thanks to my career choice. As a licensed Cosmetologist, retired travel blogger, Author, and Breathwork & Sound Bath Facilitator, I live life CHOPPED! In September of 1977 I took my first breath on planet Earth. There was no turning back… In 1997, I met the love of my life while attending the University of Central Oklahoma. He whisked me away to Denver, Colorado where I opened my first business, Bellezza Dentro Salon, at the age of 26.
In 2004, while waiting for a hair guest, a message from God descended upon me. Heaven did not mince words. The message I received apparently convinced my husband as well. We loaded an ABF trailer and moved to Coral Springs, Florida. We said goodbye to our life in Colorado and embarked on a journey that has been forever transformative.
In 2006 while living on the island of Oahu we were blessed with our son, MSG, Mayer Sutton Gibson. Yes, his initials are MSG! Little did we know he would attend culinary school and complete a triangulation of chops in our home, he is the third chop becoming a chef. Love you MSG!
Motherhood, exploring over 40 countries, moving from Oklahoma, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Hawaii, Georgia, Connecticut, Washington state, Italy, Portugal, Guam, California, Guam, and Maryland, with my partner of 29 years, and our son, has ??? Today’s emotions are different than yesterday’s emotions…It has been a journey. (If you’re wondering why we have moved so much, my husband has served in the United States Navy for over two decades.)
My nervous system needed a reset after multiple life changes. I thankfully discovered a healthy way to give it a hug. In 2024, I came across Elizabeth Bardelli with Baltimore Breathwork and discovered I LOVED the breathwork and sound healing program she designed. From Italy to California, and many places in between, my life has revolved around pampering others. I’ve currently retired from one form of pampering by enhancing the outer beauty and have moved into facilitating an experience that will nourish you from the inside out.

Meet two of the most important people in my life. My son Mayer, aka, MSG. He’s a culinary graduate and knows his way around a kitchen. He creates delicious potato gnocchi and can bake a fantastic challah bread. He’s chopping it up these days at The Fishmonger’s Daughter in Catonsville, Maryland.
In the photo below, is my husband Dave, aka, the Tasmanian Devil and me, his “wanna be” Mermaid Dragonfly Queen… We’ve been breathing out what no longer serves us for close to three decades. He keeps me anchored on shore. Welcome to Gibsonchop, where we chop things out of our lives that no longer serve our minds, bodies, and souls and welcome things that do! I look forward to meeting you as we breath & let be. Emily Gibson
