Elyse Williams Elyse Williams Biography: Clinical Herbalist, Certified Nutrition Specialist, Certified Reflexologist, Reiki Master/Teacher Elyse brings nearly two decades of experience studying and practicing herbal medicine. Her early fascination with plant medicine led to over eight years of self-study with native people in rural Alaska, Honduras, Costa Rica, Belize and Peru, and prompted her to pursue a Master of Science degree in Herbal Medicine at the Tai Sophia Institute in Laurel, MD (now Maryland University of Integrative Health). As her Washington DC practice grew, Elyse connected the need for healthy functioning digestion to properly utilize herbal medicine, and became a Certified Nutrition Specialist through the National Board of Certified Nutritionists. Not long after, she saw the need to engage her clients' emotional and energetic imbalances in order to promote the physical healing they were seeking. This led to further study and certification at the Baltimore School of Reflexology, training in essential oil therapeutics and Aromatherapy, Mahatma Reiki Master/Teacher training and becoming a certified instructor of SynergyDance, based on Randolf Stone's Polarity Therapy methods. Since moving to Bend five years ago, Elyse has continued to expand her personal practice with new powerful tools, and now works at Vitality Cleanse Center offering reflexology and energy work as well as herbal and nutritional education and consultation. Elyse continues to offer educational classes to the community in herbal medicine and essential oils and serves as an instructor at Central Oregon Community College where she teaches for the Licensed Massage Therapy department. Elyse's practice is fueled by a passion to initiate healing change at the most pivotal level where the client is most strongly imbalanced and poised to transform. Deeply ingrained patterns stemming from spiritual/emotional, mental, and physical dis-ease can only be healed when the client uses his/her own unique messaging system on all of these levels to allow for release, restoration, and active healing alignment through greater awareness of Self.
