Meet the Experts Helping Waco Heal Naturally
Passionate, skilled, and dedicated to your recovery.
Emma Gaskin, Founder & CEO
Certified Laser Technician and Laser Safety Officer
I founded Republic Thera-Lase because I believe everyone deserves access to effective, drug-free pain relief. After suffering a debilitating injury and being told I needed back surgery at just 30 years old, I discovered the Phoenix Laser System — the only treatment that truly worked for me and allowed me to return to the activities I love. Inspired by my own recovery, I wanted to offer others an alternative that empowers the body to heal naturally. Through our advanced Class IV patented infrared laser technology, we help clients regain mobility, reduce pain, and get back to living life on their terms. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing our clients reclaim their lives, pain-free.
​
With over 15 years of experience in the medical field, I’m dedicated to helping others experience the same life-changing relief I found, and to spreading awareness of the remarkable technology that got me here today.
​
With two active boys, ages 10 and 7, my life is full of sports and family time. When I can, I enjoy playing competitive slow-pitch softball and making memories with loved ones.
