MEET ELYSE HOPE...

 

Her Story

Having felt like a misfit from an early age — too curious, too sensitive, too intense — Elyse Hope Killoran was drawn in two directions at once: toward deep academic inquiry and toward the uncharted terrain of emotional healing.

A Phi Beta Kappa, magna cum laude graduate with honors in Psychology, Elyse combined rigorous study with an insistent fascination for the human heart — for the unseen patterns of attachment and loss that quietly shape how we relate and how we love.

In the early 2000s, she built an online community of more than 40,000 participants through The Choosing Prosperity Game. Yet after a decade of teaching wellness and personal growth, she felt an undeniable pull to pause and dive fully into the heart of relationality — the living field where psychology meets presence and the old stories begin to unwind.

Over the past decade, Elyse has immersed herself in evidence‑based and experiential modalities that help people recalibrate their nervous systems, heal emotional imprints, and interrupt self‑defeating relationship patterns.

"Even with all the study, I still have moments when I catch one of my own patterns sneaking back in — and I smile, because growth isn’t about never repeating; it’s about noticing sooner."

Certifications & Advanced Training

  • Certified Brainspotting™ Practitioner (Trauma Resolution)
  • Certified Havening™ Facilitator (Amygdala Depotentiation Techniques)
  • Certified Relational Life Therapy (RLT) Coach — trained directly through Terry Real’s team
  • Certified Relateful Facilitator

Through these approaches, Elyse developed Relational Empowerment — a practice dedicated to bringing compassion and clarity into the heart of human connection, helping people transform inherited relational patterns into the felt experience of safety, honesty, and care.

Her Commitment

“I know the relief and aliveness that come from shifting out of cycles of frustration and into the kind of connection that both partners deserve.”

Each week, Elyse reserves time for individuals and couples who are ready to become relationally empowered — to move beyond reactivity, rediscover inner steadiness, and communicate with both courage and tenderness.

If you’ve been drawn to this work, chances are something in you is already ready — ready to stop replaying pain that isn’t yours and to let truth and compassion begin a new pattern of connection.

The first step is simple: reach out, and ask for support.

"I’d be honored to meet you where you are. We don’t fix each other here; we remember together."

“Thank you Elyse for all you did today for D____ and I.  I haven’t seen him cry since his dad died 20 + years ago until working with you!  It’s been beautiful to witness and feel his tenderness and vulnerability!  Beyond grateful for you….I just referred some friends of ours - Everyone needs an “Elyse” - Tina
 

 
 "Thank you so much for the appointment yesterday. I really can't say how hugely grateful I feel to have been able to speak with you...I was literally starting to give up on the idea of being able to get any help with him from any one who could understand the situation and help me to deal with it - but after speaking with you - I did feel hopeful again. It was so amazing to feel heard and understood  - so my heartfelt thanks for yesterday."  - Dawn

 


 
 “Things have truly been so good between us. I don’t want to say he’s a different person, but he kind of is…I think we understand each other differently. Things that bothered me so much before don’t even faze me. It’s night and day. I’m even wearing my engagement ring again!” - Carolyn“Things have truly been so good between us. I don’t want to say he’s a different person, but he kind of is…I think we understand each other differently. Things that bothered me so much before don’t even faze me. It’s night and day. I’m even wearing my engagement ring again!” - Carolyn
 

 
 “It's actually unbelievable how well things are going…A____ is saying that she feels very enveloped and she feels my presence…She's even started giving me hugs again and engaging in physical contact and I'm able to sort of lean into her…I did tell her tonight that I was feeling authentically ‘I am so happy to be your partner." - Steven
  

 
“You are truly a priceless gift. Through your love, acceptance and being totally present with me, I have been able to make huge shifts in how I view the world and myself in it. Where I once lacked confidence and was more concerned about other’s approval of me, I now let nothing stand in my way and feel excited to express my gifts, move past fears, and do things that bring me real joy.” - Bridgette
 

 
“In my family’s darkest hour, when our daughter was missing and feared to be in danger, Elyse became a steady beacon of  hope amidst overwhelming uncertainty. As I wrestled with guilt and the weight of blame filled the air, she took command with grace and reminded us all that this was not our fault - it was the results of our daughter’s own choices. Through those harrowing moments, Elyse's strength, wisdom, patience, and compassion never wavered. In the deepest darkness, she held our family-and me-together with unwavering love and clarity, offering comfort that brought us back to each other when we needed it most.”  -  Roy

 


 
“Just wanted to give you a quick update…Our last session really helped K____ to be present and connect…without all the feelings of guilt and shame. That was such a gift for him…We both want you to know how grateful we are for you, How much we appreciate you and all you’ve done for us.” - Tammy
  

  
 “I am writing to tell you how much I appreciate your unique approach. I continue to move my life in the direction of what brings me true joy and fulfillment, and your program gives me a focal point as well as a community that helps ‘jumpstart’ me to take this to a whole new level. This is an entirely new way of living.” – Laurel
 

 
“The last few days have felt good with some of the things we’ve been doing to connect. The other night we had so much fun together just the two of us - it gave me a lot of hope. I can’t remember feeling like that for the longest time.” - - Louise

  


 
"Thank you for a life altering experience! Thank you for your intuition in leading me to things that help me. Thanks for continuing to challenge me. From a life impact standpoint, you’ve helped me more in two months than anybody else I can remember!” - Janet
