About

Elisa began her professional practice within women's wellness and beauty spaces, where she cultivated her skills as a facialist, bodyworker and holistic practitioner. It was there that she developed a deep appreciation for the connection between touch, ritual, and the mind-body experience — supporting women in cultivating better embodiment and well-being. Her fascination with how the body heals — through nutrition, movement, breath, and somatic awareness — has since evolved into over a decade of study and hands-on practice across multiple wellness traditions.

She dedicated several years to studying at Eight Branches Academy of Eastern Medicine and Sutherland-Chan School of Massage, building a strong clinical foundation and a deep respect for both Eastern and Western approaches to care. Her extensive background in Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture shaped a therapeutic philosophy rooted in the body as an interconnected system. While she no longer practices under a TCM framework, she continues to offer clinical acupuncture as a Registered Massage Therapist — carrying that same lens into how she reads patterns, and the subtle relationships between structure, function, movement, and overall well-being.

Through her yoga practice and travels abroad, Elisa came to understand that healing is not purely physical — it is a holistic, whole-being experience. She pursued Yoga Teacher Training which further enriched her understanding of traditional Eastern medicine and the bodies subtle energy systems. Today, this perspective continues to shape her practice through a somatic and nervous-system-informed approach to massage, rooted in trauma-informed care. Her work has since expanded into specialized training in Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage and post-operative massage.

Elevate Ritual was born from this journey — a path through many traditions. Her mobile practice delivers massage therapy and luxury wellness experiences designed to support relaxation and nervous-system reset.
