I spent a decade chasing healing.

Two divorces. Years of therapy. Podcasts, prayers, self-help books, fresh starts. I kept searching for the thing that would finally make me happy... the right relationship, the right circumstances, the right version of my life. I was the strong one on the outside, completely empty on the inside, choosing everything from a place of vacancy in my soul and wondering why nothing ever filled it.

Then I found somatic healing.

After obtaining my Mastery certification in somatic healing, I finally understood something that changed everything for me and that I believe most women have never been told. The stress, the heartbreak, the anxiety, the survival mode you've been living in for years? It isn't just in your mind. It lives in your body. And no amount of talking about it, thinking about it, or praying harder will release what your body has been holding onto.

When I finally did this work, something woke up in me that I didn't even know was asleep. I started advocating for myself for the first time. I stopped attracting the wrong things and started drawing in exactly what was right for me. The piece that had been missing my entire life wasn't out there somewhere. It was inside me, waiting for me to come home.

I am floored that more women don't know this work exists. And I am on a mission to change that.

Brave Girls is the community I was desperately praying for during the hardest seasons of my life. A soft place to land. Women who get it. Real support, multiple times a month, for less than the cost of a single therapy session because you deserve more than one hour of help a month and a room to sit alone with your thoughts.

I’m Elissa, Master Energetics Somatic healing coach, host of the Misunderstood Podcast, Jesus lover and founder of the HeartAct.

In July 2025, I’ll be featured on the cover of Auralis Magazine, with a billboard in Times Square… not because I became perfect, mastered life, or “healed” every part of myself. But because I’m willing to challenge an entire industry built on keeping women in a constant cycle of fixing themselves and disconnected from God.

I don’t believe healing is about becoming more polished, more productive, or more acceptable. I believe healing is finally feeling safe enough to stop performing and be fully seen as you are.

For most of my life, I felt misunderstood. And instead of letting that make me smaller, I turned it into a movement that makes other women feel seen too.

If something in you is leaning toward this, trust it.

Come join us, brave girl.
