Sept. 20, 11 a.m. — Elise Boren
Over her thirty-five-year career as a hairdresser, Elise has seen many changes in hairstyles and the fashion industry as a whole.
Fortunately, believing that knowledge truly is power, Elise has many interests and degrees, which has given her many opportunities
in her career. One is research and development, creating new environmentally friendly and innovative global hair products. This is
very important to Elise, and she says honestly, "I love being a part of making amazing products that are striving to be better for
humans, animals and the environment! Early in Elise’s life she was introduced to the magnificent power of sound and its healing
capabilities — and she has managed her own personal chronic pain with sound for 40+ years. This motivated her to become a
nationally certified sound healer. As Elise believes that we are all one, she also believes that healing needs to be all inclusive,
with mind, body and spirit.
