Eloise is a healing arts practitioner who integrates traditional and contemporary modalities to promote wellness and empowerment. From her younger years as a lay midwife and mother to the present as a contemporary healing practitioner and all the years in-between, Eloise brings a wealth of experience and passion to her work.
Eloise's path of awareness began at age 18 with Transcendental Meditation. She is an ordained spiritual minister, certified intuitive reader, Reiki Master, and EFT practitioner. She was a founding member of the San Diego Reiki Corps and she served five years as a volunteer Reiki practitioner for patients with cancer at Sharp's Memorial Hospital in San Diego. In 2007 she apprenticed with the remarkable curandera, Madre Sarita, a spiritual healer from Mexico. Eloise is of Chicana and Navajo heritage, which is what called her to curandismo.
In addition to her healing work, Eloise has an active artistic life. In 2010, she premiered her documentary film, Colors of Compassion: Teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh and was a contributor to the book, Together We Are One by Thich Nhat Hanh (Parallax Press, 2010). Her past service to the arts includes her work as former executive director of the San Diego Dance Alliance and former performing arts manager for the Centro Cultural de la Raza in San Diego.
Eloise has a B.A. in Urban Studies (UCSD); M.A. in Education with an emphasis in cross-cultural counseling (SDSU); and an M.F.A. in Visual Arts (UCSD). Following her MFA, she served a two-year post-graduate artist-in-residence fellowship through UC MEXUS at UCR.
