Testimonials

I have had the pleasure of calling Elise my best friend of over 40 years, my teacher, and my spiritual counsellor. I witnessed her coming out of her own darkness and into God’s light and there are no words to describe the difference in her. She has overcome and accomplished so much. She always said to me, “Claudia, you can only take someone as far as you have come yourself!”. Because she has come so far in her own journey, alongside her education and experiences she can do the same for you and me.

Elise’s joyous spirit and charismatic personality are infectious. Her strong and joyful demeanour is engaging. She will give you more than you can imagine. In the last ten months, I have been a part of her weekly workshops that have taught me more about myself and God than I ever learned in my life. Who I really am, why I am here, and who is with my at all times has changed my thinking patterns and has helped keep my anxieties in check. I have an inner peace now that I was searching for a lifetime. Her teachings which incorporate both the relationship you build with yourself and the Lord have been life-changing for me. She has taught me how to hear that small voice inside me that will guide me to the best decisions. The Lord speaks to me through journaling and the revelations and what He reveals to me always play out exactly. It’s mind-blowing!

We live in a world unaware of what we are doing or saying wrong that causes most of the darkness that comes out way. Elise teaches you what those things are, how to correct them, and live the kind of life we were meant to live.

Her private counselling sessions have held me accountable for change, they have broken chains of bondages and even though I am not where I want to be, I know that I am getting there and have come so far.

I would highly recommend Elise’s workshops and private counselling sessions. She incorporates homework that when applied is a game-changer in your relationship with self and with God. No one teaches us how to pray, how to hear from God, how to be a true disciple, how to heal your mind and your heart from wrong thinking, to traumas to generational patterns. Here, at The Healing Transformation Hope Centre, Elise takes you through an addicting adventurous journey that is exciting, hopeful while healing your life and developing all the spiritual gifts you have been given. Her “no-nonsense attitude” boldness and keen ability to slice apart truth will help you break free!

I’ve been attending Elise’s workshops for the last eight months for my anxiety and depression. I find that she really helped me understand my relationship with the Lord. How to hear from him. She has taught me that he is with me all the time and my anxiety levels have gone from level 10 to 0 most days. She has this unique style of teaching and I think the homework is the part that has helped me the most. She gives the class homework every week and I have seen such a growth in my relationship with God, my gifts, and the healing of my anxiety. What I value the most about her is her direct honesty. She just tells you how it is. I want to be bold, strong just like her.

I also do private counselling with her and I find her methodology incredible. She doesn’t just listen like other therapists she actually gives me more homework so I can work on those issues that I talk to her about. My life has healed and is changing because of her. I feel like a new person. If you’re really serious about healing and transforming she is the only one out there that can help you.

I first attended HOW TO HEAR GODS VOICE workshops. OH MY GOD, this was a game-changer for me. I was so excited to hear how God spoke to me daily. Some of the things that He would reveal to me at first I thought were farfetched and like hey where is this coming from? Before long, the Lord would make things happen in my life that matched what he told me would happen in my journals. I was faithful with this journal practice and submission for her feedback.

This increased my faith. Then at the beginning of summer, I joined the anxiety workshops and I have to say that I have not had a panic attack since. I use to have at least two a day. I did my homework that she gave me, I did private counselling so I was able to reverse a lot of thinking patterns and remove the fear spirit that came into my family line as far as my great grandmother because my mom use to tell me she suffered from anxiety and anxiety attacks too. I healed so much with Elise. I mean she is strong and relentless and will be in your face when you are not getting it or not applying it correctly, I can’t lie about that. She is bold for sure. It’s what I needed. I just started the Co-dependency workshops and I already know how to establish better boundaries with people and become bolder to remove certain people in my life and I stopped enabling those around me.

I cannot say enough about her and her workshops. She has helped me connect with God, grow in my gifts, and heal my life. I cannot wait to join my next workshop. One day I want to do what she does. It’s the most amazing experience of my life. I highly recommend this woman for both private counselling and workshops. You want to be free, man oh man will she teach you but just be prepared to put it into practice or she will get in your face.
Love you, Elise.

I came to Elise because Covid brought my anxiety to the highest level It has ever been. I couldn’t play my regular sports like football and wrestling. I lost my part-time job. My GF of two years broke up with me because she had anxiety too. We couldn’t see each other. We would trigger each other. It was hell. I always believed in God and was brought up catholic even though my mom started going to the same churches as Elise. Same circles I guess. My mom convinced me to do the workshop on how to hear God’s voice and I thought why not? I have all the time in the world at home and all. Elise busted them regularly to show me my journals which I did, I was cool. I learned how to hear God’s voice so clearly. This built up my confidence again. Things would happen that blew me away and too long for this review I guess. She placed me in the next workshop which was for anxiety and then another one to help me change my thoughts. I think it was called CBT with Jesus. Seriously, I am another person a year later after meeting Elise and joining her workshops and private counselling. It helped me get closer to my mom. Now I understand why she was so into her praying and walking with God. I am only 21 and I feel I learned so much from Elise that I can do anything now. I am going to continue with her because I love talking to her. She makes me laugh, gives me heck, says it how it is. Because of her, I have entered into a kind of freedom inside of me that I would never have without her.

I was struggling with anxiety most of my life. I am 38 years old. I knew God but didn’t know how to pray, how to connect, how to hear His voice. Because of Covid, my anxiety was becoming a challenge. I joined her workshop on How to hear God’s voice. This taught me how to hear from God, how to pray, how to grow in my gifts. Then I joined her anxiety program. OMG, I love it. It was only 8 weeks but I rejoined because I don’t want it to come back. I am also doing her workshop to help my self-esteem. Ever since I started with Elise my anxiety lowered and I put people in their place now. No one pushes me around. I would love to do what Elise does. She inspires me to follow the Lord and keep growing. You have to join these workshops if you really want to follow God and heal.

I have been friends with Elise via social media for the last 10 years. It was so nice to finally see her live on zoom. Very beautiful woman inside and out. She is a very strong and powerful teacher who puts a lot of thought into how she presents her material. Her workshops are engaging. I learned a lot from her workshops and private counselling which helped increase my faith in God, helped me learn how he speaks to me and she has helped me learn how to create effective boundaries with others. I will continue to take her workshops and her counselling sessions. I couldn’t live without them.

Beauty, Bold, fierce, strong, effective, fire. These are the words that I would use to describe Elise, her presence, and her workshops. I have been blessed by every workshop I have taken so far. I am a better follower of Christ, a better mother, wife, and friend because of these life-transforming workshops. Her no-nonsense bold approach and her detail in how to apply what she teaches have catapulted me into a better reality than the one I was living in. I want to go higher so I will continue on this journey to freedom. Thank you, Elise. You are loved and respected.

When I first called her for my counselling session, I’m not going to lie, her boldness threw me off. She’s like, if you are not going to do the weekly homework I give you, I don’t want you in counselling or in my workshops. Don’t bother signing up. She said I want everyone to succeed so I will not tolerate people who are not going to be diligent with their walk to freedom. Don’t start with me unless you are fully committed. I’m like “Ok, I think I get what you are saying!” This was the beginning of the most inspirational relationship I have ever had. She remains consistent through every workshop I have taken. She gives more than any other person that I know Because of her, my life has changed on every level. She did promise that if I connect with God wholeheartedly daily and listen to her instructions I would be set free. I have come so far and I can say that she is the CEO of inner freedom. I know sometimes I act like a stan but I am one of her biggest fans bc she connected me with the greatest counsellor of all, Jesus. It’s made my relations with my fam so much better. I am in, I am staying in.

Anne K, 28 yrs old

I have been friends with Elise since Elementary school. Our friendship through the last 45 years grew more so when it expanded into the spiritual realm. In the past 20 years, both our friendship and spiritual relationship have grown immensely. Elise has introduced me to God on a totally different level. It’s been an extremely special journey and I am so grateful for where she has brought me to at this point in my life.

Elise’s passion seeps through her workshops hosted at The Healing Transformation Hope Center. They are nothing more but outstanding and truly infectious. I sincerely recommend anyone to take this journey with her. I am so happy and at peace with this experience. I’m sure anyone will be as well.

I have been following Elise on social media for the last 6 years because of her recognition in the benzo community. In our community she is well known as a surviving warrior of the worst illness anyone can go through. I have had cancer, so many other challenges but nothing beats the mental and physical symptoms of BWS. I was in the last 6 months of my taper when I started counselling with her. I wish I found her earlier.

I heard that she was providing counselling to people who are going through the BWS experience. I reached out to her and I felt safe in her knowledge of BWS. Once I recovered, I joined her workshops from Hearing God’s Voice to CBT with Jesus. I just love them all. I find myself on the waiting list for the next one and the one after that. We will always be kindred spirits for surviving such a terrible brain injury induced by big pharma and our connection to Jesus. Elise is the sweetest, toughest woman that has seen the devil square in the face. No one can help you heal and transform and whip your demons out of your life as she can. I bet my life on it! Love you girl.

I have been doing private counselling with Elise for the last year. I was sinking deeper into my depression and anxiety. Covid brought it to a new level. Because she has mastered her own anxiety disorder, I could tell when I was speaking with her she really understood exactly what I was experiencing. Unlike, all the other counsellors who just know it theoretically. This gave me such hope that I can heal my anxiety disorder by connecting with Jesus. Learned how to hear HIS voice through journaling and becoming aware of how He speaks into my spirit.

With her relentless teaching and accountability, I became very sensitive to the Holy Spirit now. I am set free! I am set free for life. How can I let anxiety or depression spiral when I know Jesus is right here with me? How can I sink into sadness when I know that He has allowed everything that comes into my life for my good so I can learn the lessons? Even the bad things that the devil brought into my life, I can see God‘s hand in it now. She actually did deliverance with me and I know that that spirit of fear left me because I healed the trauma that was behind it and the generational demon that causes its manifestation is gone. I couldn’t believe what I witnessed!
Her work is amazing!

I just joined her workshops about codependency because I have a very codependent relationship with my husband that I know it’s not from the Lord. That’s the next battle that Elise will help me win with the Lord.

She gives me homework every week and that’s saved my life because applying her strategies has certainly transformed me and in turn the way I live my life. I love you Elise from the bottom of my heart and I know that you are the vehicle that God used to help set me free. I know I’m not finished but I have overcome a lot and through everything you teach me I will completely be set free in every area.

Listen, I know it’s hard work but it’s worth the freedom. No one else can provide you with this inner freedom as she can. If you actually do the homework and apply everything she says you as well can get to where I’m at and the door to the abundant life will be wide open to you. Out of the darkness and into the light.

Thank you to you the best Counsellor, Teacher, Pastor that I ever encountered. I am indebted to you for life. God bless you, Elise.

I have been truly blessed to have known Elise as my dear friend for well over 40 years now. Not only has our friendship over the years been consistent but has stood the test of time. I am privileged to also have her as my guided spiritual leader and mentor.

Elise brings to this group extensive knowledge, sound experience, and skills which firmly plants this workshop on solid ground. Her commitment and devotion to her work and to her members are commendable. She genuinely cares for each and every student and for their personal/spiritual growth. She encourages her students to be diligent, reflective, and truthful not only with themselves but with God. If they don’t know how she will guide them to a level of awareness that is required for breakthrough and change. The workshop is filled with beautiful worship music, prayers, teachings, and most importantly human bonding. This group is also based on kindness, love, mutual respect, and understanding. There is no tolerance for negative behaviours in her groups.

I’ve been a part of the THTHC workshop for approximately 1 year now and still going strong. It has been quite an amazing experience thus far and found her teachings very beneficial. It has not only taught me more about myself but a lot more about Jesus which I never knew Him in this way beforehand.

Through this workshop, I was able to identify areas in my life and in my own behaviour as well that needed dire changing and healing. Not only was it jeopardizing my health but it was also affecting my relationship with those close around me. I was basically losing myself. I found that diligently praying and journaling to God each and every morning and/or throughout the day, brings me the strength and encouragement to face each moment of the day, regardless of its challenges. This also has allowed me to deepen my connection/relationship with the Lord and the real me like never before. The Lord has become my closest friend and confidant. I am excited that I now am able to hear His voice and direction. I thank Elise for helping me learn how to hear and listen to Him and to help me discover and grow in my spiritual gifts.

I strongly encourage all those in search of deep healing/transformation or healing/transformation for their families or friends to come to join the THTHC workshop for all who are welcome. You will definitely find your inner peace, your true authentic self, and purpose through the eyes of God for it has been already planned by God for all of us. Many never enter in because no one teaches you how. At THTHC Elise introduces you to the One who can heal and change your life eternally. It’s the best journey you will ever take.

Sincerely,
Erica Ricci

I started Elise’s workshops a year ago. My family and I needed healing and realignment with our faith. I learned so much through all her workshops. I think I attended all of them and I am now on the waiting list for the marriage renewal one. She really knows how to incorporate scriptures along with psychology tools to help one heal. Because my life was hanging by a thread, I applied her teachings with a vengeance. My kids all had inherited migraines through my husband’s side of the family. Their bouts of suffering compelled me to search. They have all been delivered from this spirit of infirmity. Not one bout in 8 months and trust me it was a biweekly nightmare at my home.

I will provide a video of this testimony one day. My kids now follow Christ through all the miracles and healings that they witnessed. My husband is lagging but I am sure he will catch up. The Lord will open his eyes to the obvious as well. Thank you, Elise. Your teachings have changed our lives and cemented our faith in our great Physician: Jesus! Love you, beautiful lady.

I have had a lot of private counselling with Elise for a year. She would give me homework each week. She would keep me accountable for it. This helped me get to where I am at now or I would still be in my comfort zone and accepting abuse from my ex. She found me a safe residence where I can heal. She provided me with funds, furniture, clothing, food, counselling, and so much love until I healed. I just started a new job. I went back to school part-time. Elise has not only been the greatest counsellor but an example of Christ’s saving power of love and mercy. I have a new life in Him because of her. I will always attend her workshops and continue to grow in His knowledge and power. This woman is an example to the entire world of what it means to follow God’s ways and how to serve his people. Love you, Elise.

Elise is my second mom. The coolest, brightest, toughest holiest lady I know. She took me under her wing and helped me heal from anxiety, taught me how to pray, how to walk with God. Taught me how to respect my parents. I was struggling with that. She helped me see things clearer. I finally live because of her and do not struggle with negative thoughts anymore. I feel brand new. I still attend her workshops and get counselling because there is always more and more to heal. Thank you mamma bear, for teaching me so much.

Her tenacious dynamic personality has been a light in the dark for me. Her pretty face brought me hope and joy. Talking to her weekly, seeing her in workshops was what I needed after losing my marriage and my kids. I had no one to talk to, just Elise. She wiped my tears and made me the strong warrior that I have become today. So much healing and transformation took place in my soul. I would pray with her all the time. She would tell me what is going to happen through her gifts and she was right. The Lord gave my kids back to me after what seemed like an eternity. I even received an apology from my ex-husband. That was a miracle in itself. Elise’s gifts helped me get through the dark eight months of my life. She helped me develop my own gifts, learn how to pray, heal my past, learn how to be assertive without being aggressive. I owe so much to her and God. Do not hesitate a minute. Join her workshops, get private counselling from Elise and you too will be set free. I promise!

I love Elise. I aspire to be like her. Smart, so funny, and serving God and His people daily. The best role model ever. Like a second mom, she helped me heal from anxiety, respect my folks because I was at odds with them regularly. She helped me understand them so much better. I know how to pray now, how to hear from God. I healed my past. I am good to go now. I am excited to be starting University in 2022 with a new attitude than the one I had throughout high school. Thank you, Mrs. Elise. You are loved and respected eternally.

How would I describe Elise? Wow! That’s the word. Her knowledge about healing and transformation through Christ is serious business. She was able to heal every trauma that opened a door to the behaviours and issues I was having. I still do counselling with her and workshops because there is so much to learn but I love where I am when I compare it to where I was when I first met Elise. I was broken and a mess. I have direction now and strong faith. I will continue to persevere. Thank you so much, Elise.

I reached out to Elise for counselling and support while going through a painful withdrawal from benzodiazepines. I had heard great things about Elise from a friend who had also reached out to her for coaching during a very challenging time. I am a therapist and have a therapist of my own but wanted and needed specific support regarding some spiritual questions and challenges I was facing. Elise responded immediately and was kind, warm, and professional.

She called exactly at the time we had set and right from the start was incredibly interested in learning about me, my specific needs, and what I was going through. Being a gay woman, I was a bit worried that I might be met with judgment but it became abundantly clear that her only agenda was to be of service and to really try to meet the psycho-spiritual needs of any soul that sought her out regardless of age, sexual orientation, race or gender.

I found Elise to be thoughtful, bright, passionate, intelligent, and with an intuitive capacity to meet me where I was in my spiritual journey. She, herself, had walked through some very challenging times and it was clear these events had humbled, transformed, and led her to want to devote her life to helping others. After our first session, the next day I had many thoughts and questions. I emailed Elise and she was incredibly kind and responsive.

She is truly a spiritual being having a human experience and I would recommend her services to anyone in need of psycho-spiritual guidance for any and all of the challenges one might face in their life.

My high school girlfriends and I have been attending Elise’s workshops for ten months. This has enriched my relationship with the Lord. She has taught me how to hear God's voice through visualization and journaling. It’s amazing how her teachings have transformed me completely. I feel more peace, connected to myself and to God. I have a personal relationship with the Lord that I never imagined I could have. This was all possible because of attending Elise’s workshops weekly and putting into play her instructions. I am forever thankful and grateful for her guidance, knowledge and friendship. She is an inspirational strong warrior in the teachings of Christ. I hope to continue this journey through her workshops so I can heal and transform my life completely and become just as strong as she is. Love you, my friend.

I have been doing counselling with Elise for a year now, every week, every week and I joined a couple of her workshops too. I can say that I feel so much better. My anxiety was off the charts. I know this spirit of fear has followed me into the fourth generation. Elise first taught me how to hear God's voice through her workshop. She made sure I learned how to pray and hear God's voice effectively through journaling. Once she established that. She took me through a healing journey and an adventure that I never imagined. Not only did I heal my anxiety by her teaching methods but she healed the generational spirit of fear so my daughter who is not 7 does not have to deal with it. I originally joined her workshops through FB thinking it can help my anxiety and it did so much more than that. I healed every trauma, resentment and negative pattern in my life that was hurting me and my relationships. Elise is gifted. She knows how to connect you to God so you can heal and transform. Love you, Elise.

I heard about Elise’s ministry THTHC from a friend on Facebook. I reached out to her IM. She was so nice, warm and loving. I can tell that she has been where I was. I was dealing with BWS and I didn’t know if I would make it through one more day. She didn’t even take a dime from me. She just jumped right in and gave me her time regularly once a week. It if wasn’t for her, I do not think I would be here. Without getting into the dark details. She gave me hope, a will to live and keep fighting. During my sessions with her, I also was able to reconnect with God at such a higher level on my days that I had some reprieve I could hear His voice through her methodologies. This gave me more hope to continue. My windows are getting longer and the symptoms are subsiding. I thank God that Elise brought me through the darkest days of my soul. BWS is the worst experience any human can go through. I had cancer and BWS takes the lead in daily torture. Thank you, Elise. Soon as I get a hundred percent I will surely donate a good amount to The Healing Transformation Hope Centre. Everyone should support such a life-changing and transformative cause. God Bless you, Elise.

Elise’s communication skills help me understand the material she presents in her workshops. I kept dating narcissists and the pattern was undeniable. I joined co-dependent no more workshops for eight weeks and I found my inner voice and courage to kick my ex to the curb. Elise actually went over and beyond during my private counselling time and taught me how to have great boundaries and to love myself by understanding my value through God's eyes. I cannot wait to see what becomes of me as I journey along from workshop to workshop and continue my sessions so I can be the greatest version of myself in Christ. Thank you, Elise. You are the best.

I am not the same girl I was a year ago when I first started with Elise, I was one hot mess. I had extreme anxiety due to the pandemic and loss of a job. I was living with a narcissist who wasn’t pulling his weight and was living off of me. Kept using excuses as to why he couldn’t find a job. Meanwhile, I had two of them plus doing counselling every week with Elise plus one workshop on co-dependency during my lunch hour. With Elise’s help through God's power, I was able to break up with him. That was my turning point. I felt relieved like a weight was lifted off my shoulder. I am still in counselling and will continue workshops as well until I get to the best spiritual place I can get to that makes me feel like I can navigate life with Jesus and still be ok. For now, I am still learning from Elise. She is helping me cultivate my gifts, healing my heart and mind from all the BS all the narcs in my life have caused, even my family. Bunch of lost sheep around me. Elise has been there, done that and has helped me see people from a different perspective. She always says “Cathy, Cathy, Ephesians 6:12 – you are not fighting up against flesh and blood but the dark principalities that work through these narcs that try to get to you!” lol She makes me laugh. She taught me to NOT let other people's demons define me or get to me. Elise is awesome. I look forward to working with her until I am all good. I am getting there. Can’t wait for your church to open Elise. Love you beautiful.

I have been working with Elise for the past six months. She takes a no-nonsense approach to counselling that leaves no room for guessing. She tells you what to do. She doesn’t make you guess. She takes you through each step explaining in detail what you need to do and why. This has helped me cultivate a healthy relationship with the Lord because I hear His voice. Hearing His voice has helped me build better relationships with the ones I love, including myself. I will continue to be part of the Healing Transformation Hope Centre until I am fully healed. Wish I lived closer so I can go to her church when she opens it up. I cannot thank Elise for everything that she has taught me.

I am starting to love myself and my life because of Elise. The Healing Transformation Hope Centre has been a place of refuge and hope. I have come so far from that rabbit hole I was in thanks to Elise. She has helped me attach myself to Jesus, taught me how to hear His voice so I can make better decisions for my life. I am now learning how to develop my gifts. What an adventure. I know it will never end. Thank you, Elise. Anyone who gets counselled by Elise through private or workshops will never be the same.

Going through BWS is the worst thing a human could ever face. I have faced so many other things and illnesses like Lyme disease but nothing has an ugly face like BWS. Elise was a constant voice of reason, calm, assurance and hope. Here I am, I made it through BWS. My windows are longer and Elise has taught me Christian life principles that really have helped my spiritual life which spills over in every other area of my life. I am healing. I recommend everyone to do her private counselling and her workshops. She has been there, done that and has risen above. It’s been an honour to know her.

Amy Florini

I found her very bold at first and tough. When I got to know Elise, I understood her better. She is tough with the truth. I didn’t get her style at first. Now I do. I listened to her instructions my life has been set in motion by God's Holy Spirit fire. Just started with her and will continue to heal every area of my life with her through Jesus in her. Love you, you powerhouse. I want what you have.

How to hear Gods Voice workshops was a game changer for me. I learned how to trust Gods voice. The entries in my journals were becoming more clear and detailed and everything God showed me was going to happen, happened. I wasn’t able to conceive for 6 years. The doctors couldn’t figure it out. The Lord showed me through a vision that I was going to get pregnant in the winter well low and behold I got pregnant in November of 2021. I am due in the summer and the baby and I are doing well. I also did the anxiety workshops which helped me change my thinking patterns and as I grew more and more to trust God anxiety has diminished. I did some private counselling as well with Elise for six months and she really helped me deal with some hardcore family resentments and she helped disciple me. Her ministry has saved my life and gave me a true relationship with our living God instead of the one I had from my religion. I cannot thank you enough Elise. Jen Foglia Woodbridge, Ontario

This pandemic just messed me up. I was already on the brink of snapping. Elise was a Facebook friend of my moms and my mom set me up. I really needed help. Elise gave me private counselling for about a year plus she put me in a lot of her workshops. I am like yeah ok, whatever. I needed help. I said I didn’t have any money not even for a donation and she didn’t care. She just wanted me well. She gave me homework each week. Busted my chops to make sure I was doing what I was told. Can I tell you that doing the homework and applying what she teaches saved my ####! I was bad. Upset all the time, anxious, depressed. I learned how to ground myself by learning how to pray, how to hear from God and how to change my thoughts. She would bug me all the time. Send me your thought records, send me your thought records. It all paid off. Anyways her and Jesus saved my life. The proof is that I am doing excellent today and I know I have a great future in front of me.

I had been following Elise on FB for about 6 years. Her benzo journey was horrendous and watching her come out of that was impressive. She would post about her ministry and we would talk through instant messaging. I started the workshops How to hear God voice and that was mind blowing. God talks to us. I felt so blessed and special. This boosted my self-esteem but Elise thought I would benefit from her workshops in self-esteem so I did that as well and continues with therapy. Its been about ten months now. I have forgiven my husband and certain others. I feel free inside my heart and my mind. I would give Elise a ten star. Love this lady.

Our family dynamics have caused such division and disunity over the years. We are all Christians but we never had any training in how to pray, how to hear Gods voice, how to communicate well, how to listen, how to agree to disagree. How to forgive, how to apologize. My mom and I have been following Elise on FB for a few years because my mom suffered from BWS as well. My mom reached out because everyone in the family is a little nuts and no one wanted to get together for special occasions anymore so my mom and dad were very upset. So Elise mediated for us for about two months and did counselling with every member of our family. She gave us homework and made us do certain exercises together via zoom. Let me fast forward 9 months now and what a difference she had made to our family relationships and our relationship with Jesus. We are making wonderful memories. I just like how she just calls peoples BS out and holds them accountable. I want to be strong like that so I am still continuing private sessions. You will not go wrong working with this angel.

I was referred to her by my sister in law who knows her through BWS and then I started following her on FB. I was impressed by her strength. Surviving BWS makes you a rock star as my sister in law is still battling after 7 years. She is still not well. I needed counselling for many issues I was having and Elise also placed me in the right workshops that helped address those issues. ‘Hearing Gods Voice’ and ‘Co-dependent no more’ were life changing tools for me. I was allowing everyone to walk all over me. I didn’t even know I was enabling certain family members until Elise opened my eyes. She made me concentrate on healing myself and my relationship with God and that is the best thing I ever did for myself. I feel so much better. Elise will guide you no matter what issues you have one or a hundred like I do. Lol. I do not think I am ready to let go of her hand right now so I will continue with Elise until I even get stronger. I know that I have come far and will go even further. I want to be a powerhouse dynamic lady like she is one day. Thanks Elise. Love you lots.

I went through a divorce during covid. The depression and anxiety were crippling me. I couldn’t see any light. My friend connected me with Elise and I told her I was broke and Elise made it affordable for me. She taught me how to connect with God, how to pray, how to hear His voice, how to be a godly thinker which has helped my depression and anxiety so much. I mean, I don’t have either one now. I am so good. I love life. I am waiting for God to reveal the right man for me because I am not doing this crap again on my own will. I am going to let God lead. Her homework and her care to see others set free is truly a miracle from God. I got more from Elise than all the therapists , psychiatrists and psychologists put together. I owe my life to her and God. Start your journey with her, you will find God and yourself. She helped me heal from the damages my ex caused. Just a miracle.

As a trained Christian physician, I was on a leave of absence due to the damages of benzos when I first met Elise. I had taken it for restless leg syndrome and my story is as long as the Dallas Gazette. Everyone’s benzo story is similar and I never imagined that as a doctor I would be a victim of big pharma. Here I was at 42 years of age battling a horrible ordeal due to this medication. I am not someone who lives through social media. Elise came highly recommended as a benzo survivor and a great councilor who helps you understand the kingdom principles deeply and has the gifting to help others connect with God and heal themselves with God. Being a curious foe, I reached out and I have been part of her workshops and private counseling for a year and a bit now. My life has changed significantly since this meeting of the minds and spirits. She helped me to change my thinking patterns, my prayer habits, my spiritual giftings have become fervent and robust. I was able to heal a lot of resents and unleash the baggage I was carrying for quite a few years. I commend her on her courage to use her life experiences and obvious education to help others reach their potential with Christ and become free from the inside out. Her work is both unique, inspiring and life changing. Thank you Elise for all that you have helped me with. Bless you.

It was weird to become a student when I have been a teacher for 15 years through the Catholic school board. I met Elise through a mutual friend and she explained the kind of work she did. I decided it was time to take a deeper look as to why I screw up every relationship inside my family, friends, and have such a hard time with the opposite sex. I had such walls up from some of the lies I told myself. I had resentments that I didn’t even realize I was carrying against my parents who didn’t mean to hurt me but they did. All the pain and disappointments made it so hard for me to have a healthy relationship with anybody. Elise told me to stop dating and to start allowing myself to be romanced by Jesus. It’s been the best year of my life. He tore off veils from my eyes. Lies were dismantled. I was able to heal my heart and my mind set has changed since I developed a personal relationship with Jesus at such a high level. It’s the way she teaches. Its unbelievable. Everyone here knows what I mean. She does use psychology tools, the word of God and brings Jesus into the sessions and she disciples you all at the same time!! No one out there does the work she does. I received so much healing in my soul. You can pay all the money you want with other therapists, psychiatrists, psychologists ,you will not ever have the breakthroughs that you will have with her. The homework, the sessions with Jesus healing my heart have repositioned me into who I am today. I just recently met an amazing man of God. Elise said I would and I did. I am glad I did the work that I had to do before I met him. I anticipate that things will continue to prosper in every area of my life. I just wish I lived closer so I can be part of the church she wants to build in her area. You have to support this woman, she is the real deal. We will continue to stay in touch through small group studies. Thank you Elise. You are an incredible human being.
