SHAKTI RISING: AWAKENING THE GODDESS WITHIN

Dr. Elaine is a Georgia native that has been assisting people in holistically creating greater levels of health/wellness, vitality and connection through optimizing spine and nervous system integrity; as a chiropractor since graduating from Life University in 2011.

The same year that Dr. Elaine graduated from chiropractic school, she also received training and initiation into an unbroken Mayan shamanic lineage.

Dr. Elaine's path then guided her to SE Asia, where she was able to share the gift of health, and touch thousands of lives and spines while working in high volume chiropractic practices in Singapore from 2012-2016.

At the end of this incredibly life changing experience, Dr. Elaine took a year off on the island of Koh Samui, Thailand to rest and focus on her health. During this time, she hosted shamanic classes with her mentor and offered her shamanic services at a 5-star wellness resort.

Dr. Elaine then returned to the US and was quickly drawn to the beauty of Central Oregon and moved to Bend in 2018. Her current practice is a dynamic expression of heart-based purpose to assist people in gaining greater states of wholeness, connection, and vitality. She is honored and excited to dive deep into presence and open the door for transformation, for those that hear the call.

Yoga found me roughly a decade ago during a time of much needed help to move through anxiety, depression and fear. With regular practice, I noticed a lessening of tension, more clarity of mind and a deeper connection to my body. This sparked a never-ending curiosity to explore the ancient teachings further.

I teach from a desire to offer anyone who steps onto the mat a safe space to go into the body, into the mind - and find their own unique, beautiful connection to Self.

In my personal practice, I have always been drawn to a mix of Vinyasa and the more gentle, quiet practices of Yin and Restorative yoga. It is Restorative yoga in particular that was the real game changer for me, and I am a huge advocate for rest in our fast-paced, always switched-on world. This is why I have dedicated my time to embody these gentler practices.

We all need time and space to allow our nervous system to re-set. In my classes you can expect me to hold space for you to rest and receive with a focus on feeling grounded, connecting to the breath, and creating spaciousness in the mind and body. Simply put, finally a chance to take a deep breath.

I am truly grateful to be able to share this practice with others and I can’t wait to create some magic with you on the mat!

My massage practice began 13 years ago in 2009 with integrative coursework from Northwestern Health Sciences University in Minnesota. Training alongside chiropractors and acupuncturists and studying many different massage modalities provided in-depth experience and understanding of muscles and how they function. The Janet Travell trigger point therapy and deep tissue techniques were the primary focus of my studies. Injury recovery and deep healing are my massage specialties.

When receiving body work we have to remember that good and bad memory is stored in our muscles. In each session I will intuitively approach muscles with intention to heal those muscle memories. I will help guide those intentions to create more openness within your muscles, facilitating the bodies memory to heal. My goal is to create a deeper healing with touch. After receiving body work it is important to take the time to reflect on how you feel whether it be soreness or having an emotional release. After working alongside chiropractors and physical therapists for many years I am able to develop customized wellness plans that are uniquely tailored for each of my clients.

I have been a student of Energy Healing techniques since 2015. I have studied: crystal energy, meditation, Goddess energy, space clearing and maintenance, chakra centers, energy sensitivity (Empath's), golden light therapy, sound healing, energetic DNA restructuring, energy cording, astral projection, and rights of passage work. I hold a Reiki 1 and 2 certification, Sound Therapy and Healing Certificate, I am a Priestess of this New Golden Age, and an Ordained Minister in the state of Oregon.

I am, and have always been energetically open to those subtle forces that our human eyes can not see. Crystal energy has always called to me and I know that in some form, I will always be working with it. I took the leap during the pandemic and purchased a set of 7 chakra colored quartz crystal singing bowls. It was the start of my new life filled with sound baths, sound healing, and sound therapy. Everytime I play, my own spirit heals, and my heart is filled with joy. I feel very lucky, and honored to create this experience for others.

Ezra means “The Helper” and Alya means “towards the path of light.” I am simply a helper on your own journey towards the light.

I began my journey as a nursing student then studied holistic nutrition and astro herbalism. The day before my daughter was born I completed a prenatal yoga instructor certification. A few months later, baby in arms, I attended a postpartum doula training retreat where I learned about yoni steaming, Ayurvedic cooking, and mothering myself. Yoni steaming has been an incredibly healing ritual, helped me understand my body’s natural rhythm, and calm my nervous system. The volatile oils of plants are carried up with steam into the womb, nourishing delicate tissues, and balancing pH.

My business Hypsy Mama was sparked by my belief in the sacredness of simple self care practices especially for new mothers. Currently I am in school to become a midwife.
