About Me

My name is Elyse, and I am a lifelong student in this Earth School. I began my journey as a dance teacher (now freshly retired), and it didn’t take long for me to realize my fascination with the human body and how it moves. This curiosity led me to study massage and Pilates, which organically evolved into teaching yoga and meditation. Over time, my focus became more holistic—I wanted to center my work around supporting the nervous system and healing trauma. And so, Soultree Moves was born.

Today, my work is deeply rooted in Breathwork and massage, Somatic, Embodiment and Emotional Integration Therapies with an ever-expanding scope that will soon incorporate Embodied Processing, including Root Cause Therapy and Manifestation Coaching. I facilitate 1:1 group sessions and Women's Circles across Melbourne, Geelong, and the Mornington Peninsula, thriving in spaces where connection, growth, and healing unfold.

We live in a fast-paced world where stress and unresolved trauma affect the mind, body, and emotions. Soultree Moves embraces a holistic approach, recognising how deeply intertwined these aspects are. My work spans from understanding the subconscious mind and its impact on our beliefs to the profound role of breath in health, the necessity of touch in healing, and the body’s ability to release emotions without relying solely on talk therapy. I also continue to deepen my practice by assisting other facilitators, learning from their experience and mentorship as I grow in this ever-evolving field.

On a personal yet deeply relevant level, I have lived through PTSD, anxiety, sexual assault, depression, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, POTS, insomnia, and a Traumatic Brain Injury. These experiences have profoundly shaped my understanding of resilience, healing, and the human spirit. Every modality I offer has played a crucial role in my own journey—I have learned not just how to survive, but how to truly live, be present, and create a meaningful life. I have found safety in my body, a deeper connection to myself, and greater nervous system resilience.

Because of this, I bring both lived experience and professional training to my practice, allowing me to meet people where they are with empathy, adaptability, and authenticity. I know firsthand how difficult it can be to reach out for support, and I aim to make healing as accessible and affordable as possible. If you feel called to begin or continue your journey, know that you are always welcome here. Sometimes, the hardest part is simply showing up.

Testimonials

‘Elyse created a warm, welcoming space and the breathwork journey itself was truly transformational, allowing me to release old tensions and self-limiting thoughts that were holding me back. I left with real clarity and a sense of deep self-acceptance. I will definitely do it again, and look forward to where else it can take me.’

Elyse, thank you so much for the session on Friday night. I had no idea what to expect, but you created such a safe space for all of us to experience what we needed to in that moment. Since the end of the session, I’ve felt a new peaceful feeling and mental clarity that has been very weird for me to be honest! I think I was able to let go of some emotions that had been stuck in my body for a very long time. It was amazing to be able to let these things out without having to actually name and discuss them. Thank you. 
-Sally
Dear Elyse, The Breathwork session you hosted was incredible. Your guidance and words throughout were so supportive and nurturing offering a very safe space for us all. Since then I have recognised distinct changes in my thought processing and physical responses to stress. I feel less restrictive and negative in my thinking and more open with a sense of stillness comparatively and like I am accessing more of Me. Thank you for making this experience possible for me to reconnect and come home to myself. I look forward to the next one. With deep gratitude.

I’m essentially so grateful for undertaking the Evolve program with Elyse and would recommend it to all who are willing to commit to path of transformation and growth. It took me to places I had never been before, especially in doing the breath work, but as a healing modality this was extraordinary. Equally, I found Elyse to be a constant supportive companion, who always offered a safe and accepting space, free of judgment. All of this fostered the evolution that has taken place on a deep somatic level. Having done traditional psychotherapy for many years previously as well as other energetic modalities, I am staggered by the shifts that have taken place within me in just 3 months. I now have greater trust in the universe and what it has in store for me. I do feel a bigger plan is unfolding and I am open to receiving this and thus trying to surrender to this process. I also feel the sense of a significant chapter ending and a new one beginning, especially in relation to all the key people in my life and the bond I share with them. Bring it on!!!

'Facebook finally got something right. The recommendation of Soultree Moves. Elyse has clear and easy explanations and guidance for every move.The PTSD and back pain after my car accident 10 years ago has left me sleeping for 10 to 20 minutes at a time, then awake most of the night. The first two times I did Yoga for sleep I slept for a solid 6 hours each night. Thankyou for creating this, my body thanks you, I Thankyou. Namaste.'
-Tess
'Her earrings are really lovely and appear as seen in the pictures. I'm so happy to have these in my everyday collection. I ended up ordering more after these arrived and they're both my favourites at the moment. Quick delivery time and great communication from Elyse. 
Highly recommended.'

Your gentle and soft approach and checking in with me throughout made it very comfortable and professional. I can totally recommend Elyse and Soultree Moves for Yoga, Massage and a holistic approach to re-centring and grounding.

“I was having feelings of disconnect, of deep, hidden secrets stained with guilt and fear. Intuitively aware that my personal and spiritual growth was being hindered by things I couldn’t explain nor understand, I was too afraid to step into the shadows for fear of what would be discovered, about myself, and others.
I kept seeing Soultree Moves pop up on my Facebook feed and taking this as a sign, I enquired. Taking a leap of faith and entering the process with an open heart and mind has had an immense and forever life-changing impact on me.
Elyse exudes a calm and quiet strength, one of genuine acceptance, and nonjudgement. Before you begin, Elyse goes through a thorough assessment and explains how the process works, allaying any reservations you may have if like me you’re a newbie.
Feeling safely cocooned with Elyse expertly holding the space, supporting, and guiding me, I was able to explore, process, and heal traumas from both this life and (unexpectedly) from past lives that resided deep within my subconscious. Yes, it’s hard work and there’s an avalanche of emotions, I experienced the gamut from deep sorrow to profound joy and everything in between, but I never once felt alone, and the clarity and healing I received in these sessions have been extraordinary and oh so Liberating!
I am so grateful to Elyse for her expertise, guidance, and support during each session and with the follow-up ‘check-ins”. Breathwork is so much more than what I expected; it is now an integral tool in my kit that supports me in my continual growth.
My friend, I invite you to not let fear hold you back from seeing your exquisite potential, be reassured that during your time with Elyse you will be safely held.
