About Denise Elysa

Denise Elysa

Denise Elysa

Denise Elysa is a practitioner and teacher of multiple modalities including somatic inquiry, intuitive energy healing, past life regression, oracle card reading and meditation. Blending somatic inquiry, somatic parts work, nervous-system informed education, intuition and grounded spirituality, she helps people who feel disconnected or chronically unwell reconnect with themselves, increase their capacity and awaken their inner healer, without requiring medical validation or overwhelming routines.

While Denise works with guests of all different lifestyles, needs and backgrounds, she holds a special place in her heart for those living with complex chronic diseases such as ME/CFS, MCAS, Fibromyalgia, POTS, hEDS, Lyme disease and co-infections, as well as other coexisting conditions. After years of navigating her own recovery through over 30 different medical diagnoses, she is living out what she considers to be her life's work by supporting others in the same methods that got her out of a wheelchair and a life filled with anxiety, depression and disconnection, and back to herself.

Pathways to Collaboration

Denise is open to meaningful partnerships with aligned professionals and communities. She believes that collaboration works best when it is genuinely aligned and supportive for all parties, both practitioners remain within their scope of practice, and the people at the center of the work are better supported because of the connection. Below are some of the ways that has looked in practice and can look going forward.

1. Medical & Clinical Partnerships

For: Physicians, specialists, naturopaths, and allied health professionals

Denise is available to partner with medical professionals who want to offer their patients a nervous system and trauma-informed somatic and energetic healing complement to clinical care. Her existing relationship with Internal Medicine Specialists at the BC‑CLMF demonstrates her ability to work professionally and effectively within medical frameworks while bringing a distinct, non-clinical lens.

This may look like:

  • Co-facilitated group sessions for patient populations
  • Referral partnerships (bidirectional)
  • Educational presentations for clinical teams or patient groups
  • Speaking engagements

2. Guest Speaking Engagements

For: Conferences, summits, panels, organizations, retreats, and community events

Denise is available as a speaker on topics including:

  • Integration into a care model for complex chronic illness
  • Healing with complex chronic illness from the inside out
  • Somatic practices and nervous system education
  • Reconnecting with the body and learning to interpret its messages
  • Intuition, energy healing, and grounded spirituality
  • Awakening the inner healer
  • The intersection of lived experience and professional practice
  • Mental health and wellbeing: the nervous system, chronic illness, and the connection between body and mind
  • Neurodivergence in healing spaces: understanding the barriers neurodivergent people face, including sensory and interoceptive differences, the harm of non-affirming approaches and what practitioners need to consider differently
  • Parenting with chronic illness, additional support needs, or within a neurodivergent family: weaving healing practices into a demanding life
  • Seasonal and cyclical living: healing, manifestation, and coming home to yourself through nature’s rhythms
  • Embodied manifesting: aligning the physical, mental and energetic body, nervous system safety, and intention so you can call in, receive, and have the capacity to hold what you are manifesting

Her speaking background also includes mental health and child and youth mental health contexts, including her time on the Collaborative for Youth Mental Health and Substance Use Local Action Team with CYMH and Doctors of BC. Her current practice does not include direct clinical or 1:1 work with children and youth.

Her voice is grounded, warm, and deeply personal, drawing from both professional expertise and her own healing journey.

3. Guest Expert Appearances — EmbodiedSoul Community

For: Medical and allied health professionals as well as other practitioners, teachers, coaches, specialists in complementary fields

Denise welcomes aligned experts to offer live guest sessions as well as live conversational and educational dialogues inside the EmbodiedSoul with Denise Elysa community. This is a values-aligned, engaged membership community of people who are committed to their healing journey.

Ideal guests bring expertise in areas such as nutrition, movement, somatics, psychology, spirituality, herbal medicine, trauma-informed care, chronic illness support, medical care including general practice, internal medicine, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and other allied health disciplines, and related fields.

4. Podcast Collaboration — Coming Home to Ourselves

For: Podcast hosts and guests

Denise is open to:

  • Guesting on other podcasts as an expert in somatic healing, energy work, intuitive development, chronic illness recovery or any of her other professional focuses or lived experiences.
  • Hosting guests whose work aligns with the themes of coming home to self, healing, recovery from burnout, complex chronic diseases, and wholeness, on her podcast Coming Home to Ourselves with Denise Elysa.

Full unedited recordings from live guest expert sessions remain inside the EmbodiedSoul community; edited versions are released publicly approximately four to six months later. Guesting with Denise means your expertise reaches two distinct audiences: the EmbodiedSoul community members and the public podcast audience.

5. Referral Partnerships

For: Any aligned practitioner or professional

Denise both receives and sends referrals as part of how she works. Referrals to Denise tend to come from physicians, naturopathic doctors, allied health professionals, and other practitioners who recognize that their patients or guests benefit from a team of people working alongside one another, each bringing a different scope of practice and area of expertise to the same person’s care.

In the same way, Denise frequently refers her guests to medical doctors, naturopaths, counsellors, physiotherapists, dietitians, and other practitioners whose expertise or scope of practice goes beyond her own. The goal in both directions is the same: to build a genuine network of support around each individual, so that her guests can receive the expertise they need, from trusted practitioners.

A bidirectional referral relationship means that when your expertise would genuinely serve someone in Denise’s community, she refers them to you, and when Denise’s work would genuinely support someone in yours, you refer them to her. Fit and safety are central to how Denise refers. She refers only to practitioners she trusts, whose values and approach she knows are a safe match for her guests and their individual needs.

6. Guest-Spot Group Sessions (Cross-Community)

For: Practitioners and community facilitators with their own memberships or group programs

Denise is available to offer one-time or recurring guest healing or teaching sessions within other practitioners' communities or group programs. Equally, she welcomes other facilitators to offer sessions inside EmbodiedSoul with Denise Elysa.

This is a wonderful way to cross-pollinate communities and offer members expanded support.

7. Schools, Daycares, Community & Care Settings

For: Schools, daycares, public health programs, community centers, centers for at-risk families, community organizations, hospice, and medical settings

Denise is available to bring experiential, body-based education and support to schools, daycares, and community programs, as well as energy healing to hospice and medical care settings. Her facilitation is accessible and grounded, meeting people where they are rather than delivering content at them.

This work is offered across several streams and can be tailored accordingly.

For community members, families, and participants:

  • Body awareness and interoception for children: exploring how the body communicates, what its signals mean, and how intelligent and responsive it is, through somatic movement and guided discovery
  • Guided meditation
  • Chronic illness support
  • Initiation into motherhood
  • Parenting with complex chronic illness or neurodivergence

For educators and professionals: Denise also offers sessions specifically for teachers, educators, healthcare workers, and other professionals, particularly those navigating high rates of burnout. These sessions are experiential by design, offering nervous system connection, somatic tools, and guided meditation in a way that supports the individual directly and can also be integrated into their own professional practice.

For hospice and medical settings: Denise offers energy healing for patients and individuals in hospice and medical care settings, drawing on her foundation in Therapeutic Touch®.

Sessions can be offered as one-time presentations, workshop series, or ongoing support, virtually or on location in the South Delta, BC area.

8. Brand Partnership Opportunities

For: Brands aligned with compassionate, holistic healing

Denise welcomes partnerships with brands that share her deep commitment to compassionate, holistic healing. This might include product features, affiliate relationships, sponsored content, or co-created offerings.

The best-fit brands serve people navigating wellness, chronic illness, somatic healing, or grounded spirituality and lead with integrity, care, and a genuine respect for the people they serve.
