About Me

Hi, I'm Elissa.  I am on a journey, and I invite you to join me.  This is a journey of self-discovery and exploration.  Do not take it lightly. This is a journey that will connect you to the center of your being, which will allow you to tap into your inner personal power.  From this place you will be able to bring to your life that which you desire.

I began my journey in 2002 when I moved from Orange County, California to Norfolk, Virginia. I was single. I knew no one in Norfolk, and yet I was following an inner yearning with the desire to manifest three things:

1.) To further my career
2.) To find a life partner
3.) To establish my own spiritual roots.

The move to Norfolk was for a new job. So, my career advanced. I have since moved to Altanta on to my dream job, product development in interactive television at the corporate headquarters of Cox Communications, America's third largest cable provider.

Three months after moving to Norfolk, I met my now husband, Troy, and we were married a year later. In 1997, I had written down everything that I wanted in a husband, and Troy fit my desires right down to the detail of having dark eyebrows (they’re very dark!) and giving me hugs around my back while I'm doing the dishes.

And, soon after moving to Norfolk, I met the teachers who provided me with the tools that I needed as a means to establish my own spiritual roots and begin a process of deep transformation.

The transformation happened at an accelerated pace.  I now have a new operating system from which I experience life - one with a minimal number of glitches.  This allows me to choose my reality, and I have chosen one of joy, peace, love, and abundance.  As these qualities radiate from my being, I receive the benefit of feeling connected to the experience of life, connected to others, and the receiving the manifestation of many of my desires.  This is my path.  I invite you to re-member your path, and to do this with me via the teleclasses, workshops and one-on-one coaching that I offer.  

With my focus, my experience in manifesting my desires, and my experience in my own personal transformation, I have the tools that I can pass on to you for your own transformation.  I will assist you in connecting to your inner essence, tapping into your personal power, transmuting limiting beliefs, manifesting your desires, and creating your reality ~ one filled with joy, peace, love, and abundance.

When I moved to Norfolk in 2002, that was a pivot point for me.  At the time of my move, the reality that I played out in life was one where I felt the victim of people and events in my life.  I felt as though I had no control over what “was happening to me”, and what I was experiencing.  

I felt quite helpless, actually.  I sought out counseling from a therapist.  And yet, I felt like I was talking, talking, talking, and not receiving answers or practical tools which would help me to experience a life that felt more pleasant.  

Shortly after starting to see the therapist, I enrolled in Anna Pittman’s Yoga Alliance approved 500 Hour Hatha Yoga and Self Study Program.  Through self study, I was able to see how I was responsible for the patterns that were showing up in my life. And I was shown how to apply yogic principles to my life to shift those patterns.  With this help, I was beginning to notice a difference in the way that I experienced life.  I didn't feel as helpless.

Right around the same time that I enrolled in Anna’s yoga teacher training program, I signed up for a Barrett Breathworks workshop with Gabrielle Gerard.  Prior to this workshop, I had a pain in my chest, right above my heart, that was constant and had lasted for months.  It felt like extreme uncomfortable pressure, like an elephant was stepping on my chest.  I saw a few doctors about this condition, and the only thing they could think of was to prescribe anti-depressants.  Well, I got into this workshop right in the nick of time, because I discovered in one day, that in working with the breath, the pain subsided – and anti-depressants were NOT required.  

I eventually learned in continuing to study breathwoks with Gabrielle, that emotions (e-motions) are “e”nergy in motion, and directing the breath directs energy.  So freeing the breath frees the energy, which results in freeing emotions.  Through personal reflection, I discovered that the pain in my chest was related to unintegrated emotions in my heart center.  Through breathworks I was able to work to free unintegrated emotions.  What a gift this release was to me.  The weight from my chest literally had lifted.  

In addition to Anna and Gabrielle, I also met Mary Elizabeth Marlow.  Early in the self-study yoga training program with Anna, I mentioned to her that I was seeing a therapist, and that I wasn’t really noticing much difference in my life.   She said, “it doesn’t have to be that way”.  And, she let me know about Mary Elizabeth.  

The most striking insight that I gained from my time with Mary Elizabeth, was from something that she had me consider.  After hearing me talk about the pain that I was feeling as a result of the people in my life she said to me,“consider the possibility that before coming into this life, you made agreements with these individuals that you would play out these roles.  That ‘so-and-so’ would know just what do to make you feel ‘such-and-such’, so that you might have an opportunity to look within, observe your tendencies and patterns so that you can shift them.  And, at the end of this life, you will say to ‘so-and-so’,‘Well done! You deserve and Academy Award for that role that you played. Thank you!’”  

At first I was so appauled that she would suggest that I would sign up for the pain that I was experiencing.  And dumbfounded to consider that I would thank someone for “causing” me the pain I felt.  After it had a chance to sink in though, I entertained that thought.  Looking at my circumstances from that angle allowed me to take responsibility for my reality, so that if I was experiencing something that I was not enjoying, I had to take responsibility for changing it into something that I did enjoy ~ no matter what the cost.  

In addition to this life shifting insight, Mary Elizabeth introduced me to examining my dreams to as another way to observe and shift the patterns that were appearing in my life.  This is a process that I find fun, and I love to continue to do.

Then, in 2006, Anna and I attended the 20th World Congress on Illumination in Kauai, Hawaii.  Lighworkers from 22 countries from around the world gathered with the Legions of Light to bring in the violet flame of transmutation for humanity on mother earth.  

It was here that I met Suzanna Kennedy.  And, soon after that, I was enrolled in her Divine Human Upgrade teleclass.  The process that I went through in this program, was like a deep housecleaning.  While in the four years prior to this I had been working through awareness to observe and shift patterns with the tools that I learned in my training, the tools I was using prior to meeting Suzanna was like hand washing dishes one dish at a time.  The Divine Human Upgrades was like washing a whole load of dishes in the dishwasher all at once.  It was a quantum leap in my growth.  Another way to say that is that it was a quantum leap into a consciousness which is more expanded - expanded consciousness.
