Welcome! My name is Elizabeth DeHaan and as a Black woman, I know firsthand how it can feel to be the only one in a yoga class or wellness space and to not feel welcomed. My goal with Essence Wellness Collective is to bring holistic practices to those who have been marginalized, and their allies. I believe that we all have the potential to become the best versions of ourselves and I am here to help you on that journey. 

Our Mission: At Essence Wellness we are on a mission to create inclusive, holistic wellness experiences designed to help you discover your strength and tap into your innate power.  Founded by a Black woman, Essence wellness is for everyone who has ever felt unwelcome or othered on their wellness journey. We know that our differences make us stronger and we look forward to welcoming you in the fullness of who you are!

I am a 200 RYT Yoga Instructor with familiarity teaching virtual and in person classes. In addition to yoga, we also lead guided journaling and writing sessions.
