Today we’d like to introduce you to Elysia Johnson
Hi Elysia, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
Oh Gosh, that is definitely way too big of a story to share on this medium! However I will say that my entire life journey brought me here. I grew up with divorced parents (who divorced before I was born, and witnessing all types of chronic and deeply hurtful complex traumas from almost every member of my family growing up, to overcoming changing schools 7 times by the time I was in middle school, to moving states several times, traveling solo from 9 years old on, and a plethora of other obstacles I overcame regarding my weight, well being, relationships, dream accolades, and my mental health.
I was able to go through the toughest of situations as a child and sort of thrive. I channeled all of my wounding into healing and expressive activities that helped me alchemize my pain. I started generating extreme amounts of love, abundance, freedom, and joy during the most dark and difficult times of my life. I started accessing our god given powers and rights amidst the toughest years of my life and developmental years. I started to get the experience rooted in my body around how powerful our heart is, especially when we do things out of love, from our inner congruence and values. I started to experience the magic of the universe, when you trust it, and decide to bloom where you are planted, no matter what. I started to experience loving others as I love myself and treating every situation with fairness, love, and respect and the healing it brings when you operate from that full, abundant, loving place.
I grew up in the personal growth and development space so I have been working and learning in that space for about 20 years consistently – doing the inner work, and showing up to craft and develop my coaching, healing, and teaching skills even more. I channeled my creativity into art and music, creating songs and working alongside icons I have always looked up to, while jumping into my other calling of being a Shamanic Healer in 2019. Here I found my sweet spot of combining music, teachings, and sound, to become a sound healer, as well as a coach and guide.
After starting my business asking friends and family to do a session with me for some feedback, I have thankfully been able to run my business for years simply off of referrals alone. Ranging from clients in California (where I am from), all the way to women in Pakistan, Ireland, and Mexico. It gives me so much gratitude to know how my work impacts PEOPLE, no matter who you are or where you are from, when you work with me (provided we are the right fit), you will feel seen, heard, understood, guided, and completely supported.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Honestly, I could speak for hours and several days on this topic! Being a healer, a spiritual teacher, and a female entrepreneur in this world is not for the faint of heart. It requires total and complete devotion, discipline, alignment, crazy persistence, courage, trust, and consistent aligned action. Yet it is incredibly rewarding, and when it is a desire and dream that is from your heart, life hits different. I would much rather live a life with the challenges of living my dreams, than live a life with the challenges of NOT living my dream. Phew, I could never do the later…
Regarding being an entrepreneur though, it can be tough… and especially being a woman at that, you can not even imagine all the ways people can try to minimize you, discredit you, disrespect you, or flat out take advantage of you, or manipulate you.
To be completely honest, a huge reason why I decided to do this work of helping the collective heal (besides my genuine love for humanity and supporting others out of their pain / trauma) was the fact that I had experienced soo many people treating myself or others like complete trash, and I genuinely thought to myself “Oh wow, they are in so much pain, they can not even show up for themselves and love themselves, let alone show up for others and treat them well…” So I wanted to help the collective, so we can shift from a self focused/entitled energy to into a more healed, compassionate, devotional, loving, outward focused, kind, society.
When it comes to the struggles, I wanted to quote the talented queer attorney Preston Mitchell (of Bravo’s show Summer House), as he put this so eloquently regarding entrepreneurship…
“Being a full time entrepreneur is incredibly rewarding but there are many, many stressful parts. We must always acknowledge both.
You are responsible for wearing all the metaphorical – and for me literal – hats that it becomes whiplash after a while. It is up to you to ultimately submit RFP’s, get paid, extensively network, say the right things, perfect your pitch, not to be too loud but also not too quiet, not too offend but also don’t sell out, be yourself but maybe not all the time, be progressive but pragmatic, It’s truly a lot to balance without support, understanding clients, and showing yourself grace.
And I find that important to say out loud because we must not lie about the allure of entrepreneurship without also discussing the difficult moments as well. There are many reasons people decide to work for others.
Peace be the journey and moving with intention. Shout out to all the entrepreneurs for making it work in a crowded field. We’ve got this!”
It requires more than you could imagine, with the emotional and mental grit that is made of warriors. You must be rooted in your mission to walk this path the way it was designed. It takes everything you have to show up and give it all you’ve got day in and day out, no matter what! However if it is on your heart, you can absolutely do it if you have the stamina, grit, determination, and drive.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
Awesome Questions! So my name is Elysia and I am a Shamanic Healer, Psychic Intuitive, and Self Mastery Coach. My business is designed around working with women to help them heal + empower themselves on a cellular and quantum level. I help them transmute whatever is holding them back while supporting them in stepping into their most healed, honest, empowered self. I love supporting women in their deepest desires and dreams so that they can realize their own power and how nothing is impossible through the correct energy use and intention. This work is truly about mastery and I want every woman to feel like a master of herself and in her own life.
In terms of what I feel is special about my business, is that I create and provide a safe space for rapid healing, upgrades, and transformation to occur on a metaphysical and emotional, mental, and physical level. I support women in tapping into their highest power and working through their deepest truths, to create a life with their deepest needs and desires at the forefront. We are making tough decisions (at times), showing up, doing the inner work, and taking specific consistent actions to reflect that. This is where the sweet spot of empowerment is where I have seen women just soar. I’m talking about breaking generational cycles of abuse, dysfuntional marriages, suppressing your truest self, breaking through enormous barriers or limiting beliefs, breaking free from old fears, stepping courageously into the unknown (at times), and witnessing miracles happen before your eyes due to how you show up and work with the universe, that is pretty special. That is a gift that is available to everyone if you start to look through different eyes…
When it comes to what I am most proud of when it comes to doing this work? It is helping women on a cellular and soul level, step into the woman of their dreams. It is teaching them that no desire is too big, and no obstacle is too big to overcome. It is teaching women tools to tap into their deepest powers and abilities as a woman and powerful human being. To witness the spark and the shift take place within someone stepping into and actualizing their power is such a powerful gift. To watch them face their fears and do the inner work, yet still create the dream lifestyle, career, relationship, goal, you name it, is the biggest reward. I feel so honored to help women on the path to becoming their most loving, authentic, healed selves in a deeply grounded, yet esoteric way. Here, the work you do with me, lasts you a lifetime.
When it comes to my brand, I want people to know that true and real leaders (not people who present one way in public and another in private) stand the test of time. When you choose the right leaders, healers, and practitioners for you – they, along with their work, are long lasting, like a redwood tree. Solid individuals are out there, you just have to vet them and trust yourself in the process.
Any big plans?
My plans for the future are to teach through my self led courses, live talks/ workshops, and live experiences, on top of creating healing visuals and audios designed to heal and transmute all traumas and quantum leap into your desired reality.
I love creating safe spaces for individuals as well as groups to rapidly release stuck energy/ beliefs/ or emotions and transmute that into healing and personal power.
I look forward to sharing my knowledge, skills, and healing abilities all over the world and creating massive shifts to help the collective heal, grow, connect, and evolve.
