The Full Story
Hi, I’m Elyse.
I’ve always been fascinated by the human body... how it moves, how it holds, and how it heals. I began as a dance teacher, devoted to expression and form, but over time, I was called toward something deeper: the inner world. The nervous system. The breath. The places we carry pain and the hidden corners where healing begins.
My journey has taken me through many forms - massage, Pilates, yoga, meditation, and now breathwork, somatic therapy, emotional integration, and trauma healing.
Each one has been a thread in the tapestry of Soultree Moves — a space I created to honour the body's wisdom, the power of presence, and the strength it takes to feel.
My work is grounded, real, and gently transformative. I don’t believe in fixing people. I believe in holding space for what's true — the grief, the rage, the joy, the stillness.
I meet you where you are, and together we listen to what your body, your breath, and your spirit are trying to say.
A Lived Experience
This path isn’t just professional for me - it’s personal.
I’ve lived through PTSD, anxiety, sexual assault, death of a parent, depression, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, POTS, insomnia, and a traumatic brain injury. I know what it’s like to feel disconnected, lost, and uncertain about how to begin again.
These experiences taught me more than any training ever could. They’ve shaped how I hold space: with empathy, slowness, and a deep respect for the courage it takes to show up.
Every modality I offer is something that has supported me.
This work is not just what I do - it’s how I live. It’s how I’ve found safety in my body again, how I’ve rebuilt trust in myself, and how I’ve reclaimed joy.
I’m constantly deepening my own practice. Some of the spaces and trainings that have shaped me include:
-
Reclaiming Anger (participant + spaceholder)
-
Expand the Box – Possibility Management
-
Embodied Processing (in training)
-
Emotional Healing & Shadow Work
-
Family Constellations, Temple Spaces
-
Vision Quest & nature-based initiations
-
HeartSpeak community
-
Supporting other facilitators and mentors in their work
I also co-created and currently hold space for the Reclaiming Anger Community Practice Program, under The Art of Relating.
I know how scary it can be to reach out and to ask for help, to admit you’re feeling lost, to want more from life but not know where to start.
I want you to know: you don’t have to do this alone.
If you're seeking nervous system support, emotional healing, spiritual reconnection, or simply a space where you can exhale and be fully seen - you're welcome here.

How people feel after working with me
Kerri, Emotional Integration Therapies
Dear Elyse, I just wanted to share my appreciation for the learnings you have helped me to gain around how to feel & befriend my emotions. I have spent all my life disconnected from my body & my emotions, afraid & numb to feel anything. Doing these sessions with you and learning to live in a way & connecting with people where I lean into speaking my fear, joy, sadness & anger is helping me to live authentically, speak my truth and most importantly is alleviating the emotional charges of fear, shame and judgement that I have been holding around feeling emotions that I now understand to be natural, healthy, helpful and ultimately human. More importantly, I have been trying to embody these practices with my two teenage sons & it has had a profound impact on the way we communicate, relate to one another and has helped them to also start to access and embrace their emotions and move them through their body. What a gift!
