Christine Dennis, LCSW has a Masters’s Degree in Social Work and is currently obtaining a Doctorate in Educational Psychology. She is a licensed clinical social worker with specializations in alternative treatment modalities. She is a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT 200) and a Registered Children’s Yoga Teacher (RCYT). She is also a Certified Expressive Arts Therapist (C.E.A.T) and completed her program through The Creative Healing Arts Center, with additional level 2 training in sand tray and sound healing.

At the center, Christine shares her love of the arts by providing sound bath meditations. She is also available for private and corporate sound baths on weekends. Christine values the experience and benefits of being immersed in sound while giving oneself permission to explore within. When we slow down our bodies to focus on our breathing, heartbeat, and thoughts, we are often challenged with finding a way to separate ourselves from our racing minds. Being alone with our thoughts can be intimidating, and silence is when we are most vulnerable. Through sound baths, Christine provides an opportunity for people to experience their subconscious while still drifting in and out of awareness as they are encapsulated by sound.

From an early age, Elle felt the power of energy flow through her—an intuitive ability to uplift, heal, and transform those around her. She didn’t just sense energy; she shaped it, even before she fully understood her gift.

Born into two families that endured immense hardship, Elle’s heightened sensitivity became both a challenge and a calling. Instead of letting it overwhelm her, she turned it into a force for healing. This deep connection with energy led her on a lifelong journey of exploration, study, and mastery.

With certifications in Personal Training, Metabolic Health Coaching, Nutrition, Sound Healing, Reiki, and Emotional Freedom Technique (Tapping), Elle seamlessly bridges the gap between science and spirituality, offering a holistic approach to wellness. Her expertise allows her to guide clients through profound transformation—whether through movement, nutrition, or the vibrational medicine of sound.

At the core of her work lies the ancient art of sound healing. Using crystal singing bowls, Tibetan bowls, gongs, chimes, and other high-frequency instruments, Elle crafts immersive sound journeys designed to:

• Soothe the nervous system
• Release emotional blockages
• Restore energetic balance
• Elevate consciousness

Each session is more than just a sound bath—it’s a vibrational recalibration, a full-body reset that aligns you with your highest self.

Now, as a member of the Frequency Healing Team, Elle invites you to step into a space of healing, creativity, and transformation. Whether you seek stress relief, energetic balance, or deep spiritual connection, she’s here to guide you.

Your journey to profound healing begins here.
