Elya maintained a thriving practice in Eau Claire, Wisconsin and continued to deepen her skills through the years, working with a pediatric Chiropractor and later practicing medical massage. Additionally, Elya went on to become certified in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) at the NLP Comprehensive in Boulder, Colorado. For nearly a decade, she taught mind/body alignment strategies to help people in there ever-evolving life transitions. 

All her work and learnings revolve around interrupting long-held patterns and bringing more mobility and wellness to daily living.
