More About Me…
From my earliest memory of gazing at the expansive night sky, I have always felt a profound connection to the cosmos.
Even before I started preschool, my intuitive gifts and ability to sense energy were already present. As an only child, I found myself communicating not only with people but also with animals, plants, and the vast celestial expanse.
During my early school years, I naturally exhibited deep compassion, empathy, claircognizance, and an extraordinary ability to recognize patterns.
One transformative summer at my grandparent's house, my grandfather noticed my unique abilities and called them ESP—Extra Sensory Perception. From a young age, I sensed that reality had layers and dimensions far beyond the ordinary, inviting me into a world filled with unseen energies and profound mysteries.
My formative years were richly colored with creativity and a distinctive embrace of uniqueness in all its forms. However, after high school, societal pressures and misguided decisions led me to temporarily suppress these gifts throughout my twenties, with only occasional moments of spirited clarity breaking through. After my first Saturn return, a significant reawakening began to unfold, though it was again tempered by societal conditioning, ambitious career pursuits, and character-building detours that came with their fair share of tough but deeply insightful lessons.
A Pivotal Moment in Death Valley
During a profound and life-altering experience in Death Valley, Elissa found herself at a crossroads while pursuing a career as a movie producer. This pivotal moment became her formal initiation, leading her into esoteric studies and a deepening of her spiritual arts practices. Though the experience was shocking and disruptive, it ultimately became a catalyst for immense growth—one she now honors with deep gratitude. As Elissa continues to learn and evolve along the spiraling path of her own journey, she is devoted to using her insights to help others navigate their own transformative journeys with compassion and clarity.
Elissa’s Personal Transformation Journey
-
Elissa's astrological chart is adorned with significant placements that draw her deeply into the realms of transformation, the mysteries, the subconscious, and the mystical. With stelliums in both the 8th and 12th houses, she is profoundly aligned with metaphysical practices and esoteric knowledge. These houses, associated with the unseen—what lies beneath the surface and extends beyond the physical—greatly enhance her capacity to navigate intricate spiritual and psychological landscapes.
Adding another layer of depth to her healing potential is the presence of asteroid Asclepius in the 9th house. Asclepius is the celestial symbol of healing, medicine, and resurrection. Located prominently in her house of spirituality, wisdom and foreign cultures, Asclepius reinforces her innate ability to facilitate profound transformation and healing, both for herself and others. This asteroid aligns with her 8th house stellium, amplifying her capacity to guide individuals through the cyclical processes of death and rebirth, whether physical, emotional, or spiritual.
The pointed Yod (Finger of God) to Saturn at the 29th degree in the 8th house, combined with her North Node in Pisces at the same degree in the 6th house, illuminates a destined path focused on dissolving boundaries, amplifying spiritual awareness, and facilitating profound healing through service. With Asclepius woven into this intricate astrological pattern, Elissa is uniquely positioned to channel the ancient archetype of the healer. These configurations underscore her ability to guide others in navigating their dualities and seeking higher truths, positioning her as a beacon for those embarking on personal and spiritual journeys.
The transformative influence of Pluto transiting through Aquarius until 2044, along with Uranus on her Ascendant, underscores her pivotal role during this epoch of humanitarianism, cosmic consciousness, innovation, technological advancement, and societal restructuring. Uranus, symbolizing sudden change and enlightenment, accentuates her adaptability and prescience in guiding others through significant transitions. Her intuitive and nurturing Cancer Moon complements this, empowering her to lead with profound empathy and deeply connect with those she aids during transformative times. This celestial placement, combined with the influence of Asclepius, enhances her effectiveness as a healer, guiding others through personal and spiritual development with a deep sense of purpose and wisdom.

As a Projector with a 2/4 profile in Human Design, Elissa is innately attuned to the energies of others, equipped to guide without imposing her own energies. This role is crucial, as Projectors are destined to manage, direct, and guide, often acting as catalysts for human understanding and organizational synergy. The Hermit aspect of her profile necessitates periods of solitude for deep reflection, allowing her to tap into her inner wisdom and the unseen realms. The Opportunist line brings this wisdom back to her community, sharing insights and nurturing genuine connections that open doors to mutual growth and development. With both the Heart and G Centers defined, Elissa brings a unique combination of unwavering willpower and a profound sense of identity to guide her clients. This enables her to help them align their goals with their true selves, empowering them to pursue their aspirations with confidence and authenticity, and ensuring they remain true to their path while manifesting their desires with integrity and purpose. Moreover, influenced by the Right-Angle Cross of the Unexpected, Elissa thrives in the face of change, using her innate ability to adapt and innovate, thereby helping others transform uncertainty into creative potential and unexpected opportunities.
As we approach the 2027 paradigm shift known as the Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix in Human Design, which heralds a new era where Projectors are called upon to lead with their unique guidance and insight, Elissa’s role becomes increasingly vital in helping individuals and organizations navigate this transformative period. This upcoming cycle represents a significant shift towards individual empowerment, spiritual awakening, and personal transformation. It emphasizes the importance of personal truth and the awakening of global consciousness.
