LIZ ELLERMAN

BBRE PRACTITIONER, NATUROPATH

Liz’s original degree was in accounting. She was working at City National Bank in the Cash Management Department when she became very ill. After many tests, she was diagnosed with lupus and rheumatoid arthritis at the ripe old age of 27.  Within three weeks of following the traditional medical route, which was all she knew at the time, it was obvious her body could not tolerate the medications prescribed. Muscle relaxers, pain pills and cortisone led to a large amount of weight gain and it was impossible for her to function in her daily life. So the journey began! Opening herself up to and studying about alternative ways to obtain healing and health, she jumped in!

It took three and a half years for the blood work to show that she was clear of the conditions. From something negative came something wonderful!  She went back to school and earned a degree in Alternative Healing.  She continued furthering her education to receive her N.D. and has since been certified in nine additional modalities.

She has a full-time practice and also teaches an NLP Practitioner and Master certification program each year. After teaching at the University of Dallas and Louisiana State University, she was commissioned as an adjunct professor at the New York Law School.

Her belief is that health is a balance of harmony between the mind, body and spirit. Find out if the challenges you are experiencing are nutritional, structural, allergy-related and/or derive from an emotional component so you may then begin your journey to health!

WHITNEY JONES

BBRE PRACTITIONER

Always seeking natural options first, Whitney’s transition into holistic health began over fifteen years ago when she met Liz Ellerman. After witnessing countless benefits for both herself and others, she became passionate about this particular approach to health and life-balance.

With a background in Graphic Design and Photography, Whitney made the shift from creative arts to healing arts and obtained her BBRE (Body Balance by Reflex Evaluation) certification on all three levels. She is certified in Bio Energetic Synchronization Technique (BEST) and is a certified NLP Master Practitioner. She is also trained in Total Body Modification and Neuro-Emotional Technique. Through these modalities, Whitney is able to help children and adults with numerous physical and emotional imbalances.

Whitney was grateful to begin working alongside Liz in January 2013 as her apprentice, and continues to enjoy the development of her own practice.

JENNIFER CHRISTOPHER

BBRE PRACTITIONER

Jennifer began her career as a German instructor at the college level. Her journey into alternative health began after many frustrating years of medical doctors telling her that she was perfectly healthy, when she felt anything BUT healthy. Teaching became difficult and she quickly lost the ability to function normally because of brain fog, exhaustion, poor sleep, inflammation, and stomach problems. Her symptoms were exacerbated with the birth of each of her four children. Refusing to believe this was “normal,” she sought alternatives and found Liz Ellerman, Naturopath and founder of Essential Wellness. After working with Liz on supplementing her body with what it needed, as well as working through emotional issues that were affecting her physically, Jennifer reclaimed both her physical and mental health. Because of her life-changing success, she began taking courses with Liz over a decade ago as a way to understand and help herself and her family.

Today, Jennifer is certified in all three levels of BBRE (Body Balance by Reflex Evaluation) and is a certified NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) Master Practitioner. She is also trained in other modalities, including NET (Neuro-Emotional Technique) and TBM (Total Body Modification).

Jennifer is both extremely humbled and completely thrilled that Liz and Whitney invited her to come alongside them at Essential Wellness. After years of teaching people to communicate with others via language, she is excited to teach people how to better communicate with their own mind and body. She looks forward to getting to know the clients at Essential Wellness and helping them achieve the quality of life they deserve.
