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.

Most recently, for the past two years, she practiced medical massage under contract with the VA at Precision Healing and Wellness, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, working directly with Veterans and deepening her skills with acute care needs.
