Dennis von Elgg
Acupuncture and
Chinese Medicine
With over 25 years of experience in acupuncture and Chinese medicine, Dennis von Elgg brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to his practice.
-
He has spent more than two decades teaching master’s and doctoral-level students, as well as postgraduate healthcare providers. His approach is grounded in years of hands-on experience, having treated thousands of patients and collaborated with hundreds of colleagues. Dennis draws upon both classical and contemporary Eastern and Western medical literature to inform his comprehensive approach to care.
I was drawn to Dennis for his work in women’s health, and it was with a sigh of relief that I found myself calming and grounding as he explained the deep connection between menopause and anxiety.
There’s a sense of knowing about him. When I walked into his office, I immediately felt like crying, simply because it felt safe to do so.
I felt held.
Even before stepping into the quiet space where the acupuncture needles are gently placed, one already feels better simply from speaking with Dennis. His knowledge is vast, but perhaps just as meaningful is the way he shares it—with a steadiness that helps you understand what may be happening within your own body.
He offers many tools and insights that stay with you long after the session.
Madeline Wade
Master Somatic Coach/
Bodyworker
Madeline believes that in order to open the door to change or navigate through a life transition, the body must become an advocate. She serves as a personal somatic guide for those ready to build a body capable of action—one that can move toward and actively engage with what is truly meaningful in life.
-
My experience with Madeline became a catalyst for releasing the wound I had carried from my relationship—or lack of relationship—with my mom. I had reached a place of understanding intellectually, but it wasn’t until I worked with Madeline that I truly saw, and experienced, how much of that pain was still living in my body, particularly in my neck.
Through her gentle, intuitive approach, Madeline helped me listen to what my body had been holding for so long. Rather than simply understanding my experience, I was able to feel it differently—to allow something that had remained held in my body to begin to soften and release.
There was something profound in discovering that understanding the story and releasing what the body carries are not always the same thing.
My experience with Madeline has continued to unfold beyond my own healing. She has since become my mentor in the fascial release bodywork I now offer, helping me deepen my understanding of how to listen through the hands, work with the body rather than upon it, and allow space for the body’s own wisdom to emerge.
Judith Duhl
Master
Coach
Judith sees the intelligence and heart within everyone she works with, helping them recognize and trust the power of their own intuition. She assists in piecing together the puzzle of life, offering insights and tools that can be returned to time and time again. Most importantly, she helps people recognize their worth and encourages them to keep moving forward—one step at a time, with purpose, because of purpose.
-
I met Judith in 2019, believing the work had already been done. As life so often reveals, however, there was still more to uncover.
Time and again, when challenges arose, Judith was there—not simply offering support, but bringing astrological insight and wisdom that helped me reconnect with my purpose, even when life felt complicated. There is something grounding about the way she works. She helps you see the larger patterns without losing sight of yourself within them, and somehow helps you stay connected to where you are going even through life's twists and turns.
Judith has been part of my journey for many years now, and without her guidance, Her Wellness Within might not exist today.
Deneene Bell
Yoga Instructor and
Integrative Energy Practitioner
Deneene teaches yoga, practices shamanic Reiki, and facilitates sacred circles based on her belief in the transformative, healing, and empowering nature of self-wisdom, communal connection, and embodied expression. She believes healing practices should be accessible and sustainable for all bodies and beings and strives to create spaces and guide rituals that feel welcoming to all.
-
Deneene started doing yoga over 25 years ago as an antidote to grad school in a sweaty little studio in Berkeley, CA. What started as a disciplined and cathartic experience evolved over the years into a greater manifestation of self-exploration, acceptance, and celebration that has guided her life as a mom, teacher, and creative. Her classes weave meditation, pranayama, alignment, and philosophy into nurturing and empowering Vinyasa practices designed to be accessible and sustainable for all levels, all bodies, and all beings. She has a Master’s Degree in teaching and over 1,00 hours of yoga teaching experience.
Her training and lineage is rooted in yoga’s deepest traditions. She received her YTT-200 certification in Shri Yoga—a dynamic Hatha practice that emphasizes alignment while honoring the body’s natural intelligence—with Sienna Smith, a longtime student of Gary Kraftsow, the first American yoga teacher to be certified by T.K.V. Desikachar, son of modern yoga pioneer Tirumulai Krishnamacharya.
She has attended additional trainings, workshops, and received direct teachings on meditation, pranayama, yoga anatomy, philosophy, accessibility, and their intersections with personal freedom and social justice from: Dianne Bondy, Tara Brach, Seane Corn, Heart: Trans Yoga Teacher, Reggie Hubbard, Amy Ippoliti, Michelle C. Johnson, Amber Karnes, Sally Kempton, Jack Kornfield, Mirka Kraftsow, Hala Khouri, Nikki Myers, Sadie Nardini, Shiva Rea, Christina Sell, Stephanie Snyder, Suzanne Sterling, Chinnamasta Stiles, Anusha Wijeyakumar.
Deneene also practices Reiki, leads local and international retreats, and facilitates sacred circles based on the belief in the transformative, healing, and empowering nature of embodied expression in all forms: writing, art, breath, movement, ritual.
She lives, practices, writes, teaches, and volunteers to awaken, inspire, and co-create personal and communal (rev)elation + (r)evolution within each individual.
