Guiding You Home to Your True Essence
Hi, I’m Elicia. If you’ve spent a lifetime seeking and are ready for the profound relief of finally arriving, you are in the right place.
I work with the wisdom of your body and the freedom of authentic expression, helping you translate the language of your soul.
“Validate and value your feelings; embrace who you are.”
My Story Is Your Story.
For three decades, I lived as a professional seeker, constantly trying to outrun or figure out what was “wrong” with me.
I chased healing across the globe, convinced I needed to figure out what would “fix” me. From the high-pressure corporate world of Atlanta to the detox retreats of Thailand and the mystical jungles of Costa Rica, I tried every modality, every diet, every spiritual path. I was determined to figure out my body’s chronic symptoms: candida, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and the heartbreak of multiple miscarriages.
The breakthrough didn’t come from another technique. It came when I stopped running, sank deep into my body, and finally listened.
I discovered that my symptoms weren’t my enemy; they were my soul’s messengers. My anxiety was not a disorder but unexpressed grief. My toxic relationships were not a curse, but a reflection of a father wound I was determined to heal in this lifetime.
My memoir, Free To Be Me, is the raw, unfiltered account of my turning point to transformation. It’s the roadmap I wish I’d had, the story I was born to tell so that others wouldn’t have to walk the path alone.
From Healing to Being
My personal healing was only the beginning. True freedom starts when the clearing is complete, allowing for the birth and embodiment of your True Essence. Drawing on my own breakthroughs, I developed Core Emotional Healing®. This process is based on the radical idea that our bodies and emotions hold the master key to our freedom, and that our triggers are not our weakness, but our most potent healers.
My work is now structured across four unique offerings, designed to meet you exactly where you are on your path:
The Memoir: The foundational story and roadmap for our shared path from wound to wholeness.
The Podcast: The ongoing conversation and supportive community of trusted master healers.
Core Emotional Healing®: The deep, transformative work for navigating life’s most difficult triggers and symptoms.
The True Essence Program: The playful, creative, and embodied practice of living your authentic self.
Home in France
Today, my life is a reflection of this integrated work. I live in the South of France with my Great Love, Olivier, and my sweet dog, River aka Baby Puppy. I am no longer chasing healing; I am living it.
My days are filled with the simple magic of photographing bees on flowers, walking along the sea, and savoring the local organic food at the farmers market. I feel, for the first time, that I am exactly where I am meant to be.
My journey from symptom to wisdom, from wound to wholeness, has taught me one enduring truth: You are not broken, and you have never been alone. I am here to help you remember that.
