Your Instructor
Elyse brings nearly two decades of experience studying and practicing herbal medicine and energy healing.Her early fascination with plant medicine led to over eight years of self-study with native people in rural Alaska, Honduras, Costa Rica, Belize and Peru, and prompted her to pursue a Master of Science degree in Herbal Medicine at the Maryland University of Integrative Health.
As her Washington, DC practice grew, Elyse connected the need for healthy functioning digestion to properly utilize herbal medicine, and became a ‘Certified Nutrition Specialist’ through the Board for the Certification of Nutrition Specialists. Not long after, she saw the need to engage her clients’ emotional and energetic imbalances in order to promote the physical healing they were seeking. This led to further study and certification at the Baltimore School of Reflexology, training in essential oil therapeutics and Aromatherapy, Mahatma Reiki Master/Teacher training and becoming a certified instructor of SynergyDance, based on Randolf Stone’s Polarity Therapy methods.
While in Washington, DC, Elyse also developed her own curricula for community learning classes to reach a greater number of people and offer valuable tools ranging from herbal medicine applications, healing with essential oils, and reflexology for self and others.
Since moving to Bend, OR 10 years ago, Elyse has continued to expand her personal practice with new powerful tools, including spiritual guidance techniques with Tarot cards, HeartMath-based clearing/trauma release as a certified instructor with Blue Heron Rising, and continued deepening into healing power of soul circuitry clearing and strengthening. Elyse serves as an instructor at Central Oregon Community College where she teaches Aromatherapy I and II classes, as well as reflexology. She also teaches professional/community continuing Ed courses, including an Elemental Herbal Medicine series, Healing with Essential Oils series, and Reflexology for Everyone through COCCs Community Learning Program. Elyse is a Registered Herbalist (RH) through the American Herbalists Guild (AHG).
Elyse’s practice and apothecary, ‘Bend Botanica’, are anchored on the beautiful Blissful Heart campus by downtown Bend.There she offers weekly “Plant Spirit Healing” meditation classes, along with a continually growing new network of classes and trainings, integrating elements of healing from all quadrants of Self.Elyse’s sessions and coaching are fueled by a passion to initiate healing change at the most pivotal level of a client’s imbalance.Deeply ingrained patterns stemming from spiritual/emotional, mental, and physical dis-ease can only be healed when the client uses his/her own unique messaging system on all of these levels to allow for release, restoration, and active healing alignment through greater awareness of Self and strengthening of Spirit.
