Elan is a native of Phoenix, Arizona and has lived in various parts of the United States including Boston, New York, Aspen, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. Throughout her life she always knew she would end up residing in Sedona. She ended up moving there in 1988.

Elan was in tune with her psychic abilities from an early age. She listened to her inner voice but rarely shared the information she received with others. During her teens she became less conscious of her abilities -- a fact she now recognizes. It was also during this time that she was put on antibiotics for a teenage acne condition which she remained on for the next seven years. This would have a major impact on her life and ultimately lead her back to her intuitive gifts.

During her first summer break from college in Phoenix, Elan found her way to New York after being discovered by a New York agent for a modeling job. She returned to New York the following summer and ended up teaching at a private girls school in Southampton and returned for the next three summers to continue teaching. Following college, Elan moved to Aspen, Colorado and worked as Manager of Reservations for the Aspen Resort Association, a large destination based tour operation. There, she met her future husband and ended up relocating to Los Angeles with him. Elan continued to work in resort marketing as Operations Manager of a global Sports Tour operation, headquartered there. After 2 years, she and her fianceé returned to Aspen and married, but were separated 3 years later.

It was during this difficult pre-divorce period that she collapsed on a street in Edinburgh, Scotland while hosting a tour for travel agents. She returned to Aspen with severe symptoms which baffled traditional physicians. These included: extreme chemical sensitivities, food allergies, and multiple occurrences of anaphylactic shock. Most of the doctors in Aspen were convinced that Elan's symptoms were psychosomatic. She was fortunate to eventually find a doctor that had suffered similar symptoms. He was one of the first to recognize the now common immuno-suppressive disorders that Elan encountered and assisted her in getting started towards regaining her health, but his advice also included taking medication that further weakened her. She decided to ask God for a sign if she was supposed to stay in Aspen. Within a week, her house flooded and washed everything she owned into the Roaring Fork River. She took the hint to return to Los Angeles.

After numerous health episodes with no real answers from the medical community, Elan started searching for alternative methods to heal herself. She found a Doctor of Oriental Medicine who instantly discovered she had Giardia, a simple parasite that all of the traditional physicians had missed. Under his care, she started studying homeopathy, kinesiology, Chinese herbs, energy medicine, and light therapy. After making considerable progress she moved to Sedona. Still fragile, she was to experience smoke inhalation from a forest fire while hiking and ended up in bed, on oxygen. Part of the purpose of this experience, was to connect with two very powerful healers with whom she ended up working and studying for many years, with great success.

In the early 90's, Elan was approached by a teacher in Sedona who told her she should be doing her life's work -- healing work. She studied the transference of energy for the next two years, along with "hands on" healing methodologies, while further developing her intuitive abilities. This intensive study lead her to create her own healing practice in 1991. While still managing another business, clients started coming in for treatments. Realizing that it was time to devote 100% of her working energies to healing , Elan gave up her financial safety net, trusting that she was doing the right thing. She has had her own practice ever since.

Since 1991, Elan's practice has grown to include clients from all over the world. Her work covers all facets of healing, from the physical, mental, and emotional, to spiritual facets of illness, with emphasis on the "primary cause". She has continued to train in all facets of energy work, and develop her own intuitive abilities, to determine the reasons and roots of a particular problem. Additional areas of study have included extensive education in advanced nutritional engineering, and E.A.V. assessment with Ruthann Burgueno, L.N.C., Bioenergetic Analysis with Gena Dancer, D.C., and with Helene Rothschild, MA, LMFCC, where she focused on emotional clearing and release, and became certified in Creative Therapy. Elan is also a Reiki and Karuna Master. Much of the information used in her practice is given directly from Spirit, and has provided unique, successful methods and clear answers. Dr. Robert Koppen, a brilliant micro-surgeon, now practicing energy medicine, commented that Elan's path was her version of medical school and afforded her more new information than anyone had time to read.

Currently, Elan is busy teaching and lecturing, and working on her new book; Hidden Variables in Kinesiological Assessment, and Bioenergetic Analysis

Elan's philosophy is that we are all our own best healers. Our job is to get out of our own way, and allow the Universe to deliver our hearts desires. In order to do this, we must love ourselves enough to really know that we deserve this.

When inquiring of Spirit during the early part of her work, Elan asked, "Why do I need to be a go-between to help people heal -- why does anyone??" The answer came back fast and clear... "We are meant to help one another as an important part of our soul's journey - the giving and receiving of energy is an integral part of our healing and growth."

More than a healer, she considers herself a facilitator. She is grateful, honored and delighted to be of service in this way.
