I'm the founder of Live Softly Studio.
I am a certified art therapist and love working with people to help them tap in to their creative selves and I am also comfortable working in the deepest levels of our experience to help people heal from trauma and navigate difficult periods in their life. I specialise in the treatment of eating disorders, and work in the Eating Disorders Unit at Wesley hospital, Sydney.
As well as being an art therapist I have had a long career in the creative industries , I teach sustainable design and I am the founder of Live Softly , a social enterprise craft workshop supporting women in Nepal. I offer creative mentorship, design workshops and art therapy groups tailored to an individuals or company's needs.
Hi, I'm Elise
‘In my sessions with Elise I was able to talk about things I had never spoken aloud. She helped me to open to the heart of the matter while feeling securely held and heard.
Where I felt stuck and hopeless I now have a new direction and the tools to make the changes I had wanted for so long . I feel more alive in my body and can see the positive changes
happening in my daily life.'
