Meet Elie
Hi! I'm Elie, the face behind Divinely Aligned Reiki & Healing. I am a Reiki Master, Intuitive Energy Healer, Women’s Empowerment Coach, Root Cause Therapy Practitioner & Counsellor.
My passion is working alongside beautiful souls who have experienced trauma, abuse, PTSD, anxiety & depression, controlling & narcissistic relationships.
Having gone through many of my own challenges, I pride myself on connecting with and relating to my clients on many different levels, no matter where they are at.
My Why
Throughout my 40yrs here on earth, I have experienced childhood sexual abuse, religious trauma, teen pregnancy, grief & loss, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, domestic violence, suicide ideation, PTSD, drug & alcohol addiction, relationship/marriage breakdowns and narcissistic abuse.
My journey and passion of helping women started when I was 16 years old, after I had experienced my first and worst domestic violent relationship. I had been abused emotionally, mentally, physically and sexually over a two year period. Even though I had experienced sexual abuse as a child, I still had no idea what abuse or domestic violence was at that time and I thought his manipulation and control over me was because he loved me, or so he would tell me often. I started receiving counselling due to other issues in my life at the time with anxiety and depression, and it was then that the counsellor suggested a particular book to read about abusive and controlling relationships. This book awakened me to the reality of my relationship, and helped me to understand exactly what I had been dealing with. After many attempts, I finally escaped the relationship with the help of my Mother and the police. However, I was left with many emotional, mental and physical scars, and a fall that meant I suffered 20+ years of chronic back, hip and leg pain, stemming emotionally from loss of control, having no boundaries and a distrust of men. From this experience and through my own pain, I felt a deep desire within me to help other women understand the signs of abuse, disrespect in relationships, narcissism and control, and to learn how to reclaim power over her life and her health, after an abusive relationship.
My desire to help others only strengthened and continued to build over the next 20 years after experiencing further life challenges.
At 20 years of age, I started a Diploma in Counselling which helped me to become self aware & understand myself on a deeper level and all that I had been through right from young. Looking at my behaviors, my thoughts and my emotions and how they were impacting my life, negatively and positively in relationships with myself, my my partner, friends & family.
My own personal growth opened me up to me many opportunities to embrace my deep desire to help and support others. In 2008, I was led to work with Living Beyond Suicide through Anglicare, supporting loved one’s bereaved by suicide, then in 2011, I volunteered with Talk Out Loud, an organisation that focuses on suicide prevention for teens and adults.
Between 2012 & 2016, I dedicated my time to being present with my children and working from home in my family business. For me, this time was where I had overcome some of my biggest challenges in life. I experienced the loss of my beautiful Mother in 2014, after a 4 year battle with cancer, then my marriage broke down and I became a single Mum. The loss of my Mum, left me deeply depressed and grieving, with many unanswered questions and it was what led me to delve deeper into the health & wellness industry, where studying nutrition and health became another passion to help others.

How It Started
In 2017, I was in a dark place after my marriage breakdown, questioning life and God. Feeling disconnected from my beliefs and identity, I decided to leave the church and the religious life that I had only known all my life to explore a world unknown. I felt a deep calling to follow my intuition and connect with an old friend who taught Reiki. I didn't know anything about Reiki or energy, but I had a deep desire to try something different that I'd never tried before, to help me through the darkness and pain that I was experiencing.
In 2018 & 2019, I went on to complete all three Reiki Degrees. Reiki absolutely changed my life for the better and awakened me to connect with Spirit, myself and my life in a completely different way, emotionally, mentally, physically & spiritually. It was then that I became consciously aware of God in a spiritual sense and not a religious sense. This was completely freeing and I became activated and aligned with a path that finally felt right for me.
At the end of 2019, I decided to open up my own business to empower women, after sharing my personal stories with the world. Through this experience, I had inspired women to step into their power and to find their voice too after experiencing sexual abuse, controlling & narcissistic relationships, trauma, anxiety, depression & PTSD.
In 2021, I undertook more energy healing training and completed levels 1 & 2 of Ashati & Alsemia.
Over the years, I have continued to build on my expertise, knowledge and studies, expanding into areas such as Metaphysical Anatomy, Psychosomatics, Sound Healing, NLP, Hypnotherapy, EMDR, Acupressure, Light Therapy, Relaxation Massage, Trauma Informed Coaching, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Yoga. Also majoring in the subjects: Abuse, Grief & Loss, Relationship Conflicts and Alcohol & Addictions.
It is my passion to work with clients to find the root cause of their physical symptoms, emotions and issues creating concern and disconnection in their life. I support you in healing trapped emotions, shifting and clearing stagnant energy in your body. Releasing negative thoughts, limiting beliefs and self-sabotaging behaviors.
I want to empower & inspire you to believe & know that you are worthy of creating an enriched life no matter what you have been through, setting you up to thrive in healthy relationships and fostering positive boundaries for yourselves and others. Your opportunities are limitless!
My life’s challenges never broke me, instead they prepared me for places others wouldn't dare to go. I'm a big believer that life happens for us and not to us. It is up to us how we choose to move forward and whether we stay stuck in the mud, or bloom like the lotus flower. What path will you choose?
