The True Essence Program Illuminates Your
Authentic Self and Vision
You’ve been on a path of healing. Now, you’re yearning for greater strength, crystal clarity, profound self-love and inspiration—to enjoy life and savor every moment. The True Essence Program is designed for you.
The True Essence Program is a playful and creative exploration of self. The program cultivates intuition and imagery, using photography as a window to the soul, reflecting who you truly are.
This process awakens self-awareness, nurtures self-love, and illuminates your authentic self and vision.
The True Essence Program was the most perfect way to step into self after years of healing and trying to fix myself.
It’s like being reborn and having a loving, safe and supportive place to learn to play and have fun and love yourself. It’s the true cherry on top to any healing work, because what’s healing if we don’t enjoy the results? Even if there feels like there is more healing to do we sometimes need to stop and enjoy the progress. This is what True Essence is for me, the perfect way to come home to self and see how beautiful it is.

Everyone needs to do this. Do this to meet yourself and begin your life.
I have loved every moment of this program. There was a special bond and sweetness created with all participants. To be in it together with fellow seekers, gave me the courage to face the unknown and keep digging. Then to see the transformation of each person was a gift. I am so deeply grateful to you, Elicia, thank you for being you. I love you immensely.
— Sweetheart
Through the process, I got to meet the parts of myself that were afraid to be seen and loved.
I was able to expand and experience a world that celebrated my differences and abilities instead of attacking or shaming them. Now, I feel very grounded and assured in myself. I’ve arrived at my own personal connection to my true soul and inner guidance.
The True Essence Program is Lovely. Wonderful. And, to borrow from the name of the Tom Ford perfume, F*cking Fabulous. Thank you Elicia for everything and for creating the space where I could see and meet the real me.

Photography is a tool for self-knowledge
To be present.
It places us in the here and now. When you look through your lens and the camera clicks, it captures the present moment, through the eye of your soul.
To express yourself.
Your current identity, feelings, desires and expression.
To project yourself.
Reflecting on your photos you connect with your true experience, emotions, and symbolisms.
This integration program can help you reclaim your Self, authority, voice, power, and creative expression.
Your process will feel like a dance movement – fun, flowing, exciting, and deeply connected. A gentle motion that will move you more into your intuition and vision.
Throughout the process of working together, I hold the transformational energy for your essence and unique vision, and infuse it with active support and a palpable energy.
As a result of working together you will have more clarity and confidence about who you really are, your gifts, and visuals to actively support you as you bring Your True Essence into all areas of your life.
Kayla’s process
I feel like now I understand myself at a new level I hadn’t before. In another unexpected turn of events, I’m finding it much easier to become aware of and break negative patterns that have subconsciously controlled myself for years. I attribute this major change in mindset to be directly related to the True Essence Program.
I feel much lighter and powerful than I ever have before. I have a clear vision of who I want to be which makes it easier to make decisions that are aligned with that future. She is the truest version of myself that I’ve always been and had simply forgotten about along the way. I’ve recently made major life decisions lately without any hesitation by simply asking myself – “Does this decision bring me closer or farther away from becoming that version of myself?”
My process was unexpected and unfolded exactly as it was meant to. As fate should have it, life circumstances aligned perfectly with each step of the True Essence Program which further highlighted patterns of mine that needed to be addressed.
Processing a breakup and feeling first hand how it impacted how I felt and created art during this program was invaluable in shining a light on this subconscious pattern I had been stuck in. Although at times all I wanted was Elicia’s guidance on “what to do” with my relationship, she was respectful and mindful to guide me back to the Self and bring the focus back on the task of finding my True Essence.
I never had a clear vision of the future self I wanted to become. Through these exercises I’ve been able to conceptualize that person, while also feeling without any doubt that that person is already alive within me waiting to be released.
At the beginning of the program I wanted to find the negative patterns within me that were holding me back from becoming the artist I was born to be. At the end of these six powerful months I have a voice, a name, and a vision of the artist I was born to be. This has been the most life changing aspect of this program and an invaluable takeaway I am eternally grateful to have.
The True Essence Program is the magic mirror to unlocking your highest potential. It allows you to look inside yourself to see with vivid detail the ways in which you have been holding yourself back.
It was amazing to look back at my quote at the beginning of the program that read “I know in my truest of hearts I was born to create, to paint, to be an artist, to be an author. The only person holding myself back is me!” I can confidently say that I found the missing piece to that puzzle.
This program beautifully and gently reminded me that this person, my true essence – the badass, infidelity creative artist – was inside myself all along. And the external struggles of life that happened to coincide with my time in this program serendipitously helped me to recognize the patterns I had been struggling with the most. It’s no coincidence it all aligned the way it did.
I am so grateful to Elicia and this program to come into my life when I needed it most. Thank you.

Theresa’s process
I joined the True Essence Program for support during my transition from processing past experiences to living a fully empowered life, one that truly reflects my authentic self.
When I joined, I was still very much in the processing phase. Elicia was incredibly patient and helped me recognize that I was still evolving.
The program played a crucial role in my transition from processing to empowerment. It shifted my focus from merely understanding my experiences to actively creating and living in my power. The group was remarkably supportive and inspiring, with members at different stages of their journeys connecting deeply with one another.
The validation I received during the program was transformative. As I embraced my authentic self, I felt like I had cheerleaders on the sidelines, encouraging me every time I chose myself.
I feel a world of difference now compared to when I began. I am stronger emotionally, physically, and mentally. I’m learning to let go of control and allow things to flow, feeling more connected to myself and making decisions from an empowered, authentic place rather than a wounded one trying to please others.
The True Essence Program is a transformative journey that helps you grow into your authentic self. It provides unwavering support, validation, and a community of cheerleaders—especially Elicia’s guidance and wisdom. The program encourages you to make decisions from a place of healing and empowerment, guided by your true self and healed inner child.
Thank you for your support Elicia!

Creativity is all about taking risks and going outside of your comfort zone.
This process gently guides you beyond the known (safe) and into the unknown to see your True Essence and what is calling you now.
You get to experience what it is like to trust yourself in the unknown and reflect on what you see in your photos, revealing your True Essence.
The anxiety, grip, and pressure to “know” or get things “right” falls away.
And you drop into the present moment, your intuitive flow, and your truth.
When you see and embrace the authentic you, you act from that powerful and loving place.
When you are aligned within, life aligns with you and big changes can happen for you quickly.
At the end of the True Essence Program you will feel more self love and acceptance.
Your self sabotage, confusion and internal blocks fall away.
You feel more empowered, present, stronger, relaxed and happier.
You will discover, embrace and strengthen your creative intuitive artist.
And you can make major, more aligned, life changes by the end!
“I feel like I’m really living in my power now. I’m just coming back to myself, and it feels really good.
I also know now, for the first time, that I need to move. Where I am is not serving me anymore.”

The True Essence Program helped me to connect deeper into, expand, and own who I am.
From when I began the program, I am standing more in my power and embracing who I am.
The True Essence process has helped me let things unfold in their own time and surrender to what is. I also have more clarity of who I am and to speak from that solidity. Owning more of who I am allows me to hone in on what I genuinely want versus what I think may be good based on external influences.
The True Essence Program is an exploration of the parts that make up our being; then embracing it. Akin to appreciating the close-up intricacies of a tapestry and also standing back and admiring it in its totality.
I appreciate you Elicia!
Love, Grace
Sylvie’s process
I found much more than I initially imagined. Not only my true essence, my self-understanding and self-reliance but also the course itself had a lovely structure with assignments explained each at the right time.
I really appreciated that the focus was on True Essence and not healing of situations or experiences that emerge during the course. It gave me a nice new angle on things and that I do not have to yet know who I am in that big identity kind of way, but identify myself step by step while the things happen, as I encounter them.
As a result of the True Essence Program, everything has got a more positive tone. I handle challenges differently. I feel lighter. At first I thought it was a halo effect, but soon I realised it holds. I do not feel as heavily absorbed by the thoughts or ideas, and yet I am certainly immersed in what is happening in my life.
Thank you for your kindness and generosity Elicia. I am leaps ahead of what my journey would have been without you and this course. You are on my mind so much when it comes to life inspiration.
With Love, Sylvie
