Hilde Schirmer Elder
Â
I am a dedicated holistic health practitioner with a deep passion for guiding individuals back to balance, vitality, and self-understanding. Since 2004, I have devoted my life to studying and practicing holistic medicine, with a focus on empowering others to understand the inner workings of their bodies and the profound intelligence of natural healing.
My work goes beyond symptom management—I am passionate about uncovering root causes and supporting healing on every level: physical, emotional, and spiritual. One of the most meaningful parts of my practice is helping individuals reconnect with their higher self, awaken deeper awareness, and align with their soul purpose through a personalized, holistic approach.
As a holistic healer, functional medicine practitioner, yogi, and homeschooling mother of three, I am deeply committed to bridging the wisdom of holistic and western medicine. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing space where true healing can unfold and where people feel supported in every part of their journey.
My academic and professional path reflects my lifelong love of learning. I hold a double Bachelor’s degree in Science and Fine Arts from the University of Colorado Boulder, a Master’s degree in Oil Painting from City & Guilds of London, and a Master’s in Asian Medicine from Emperor’s College in Santa Monica. I also completed advanced training in Functional Medicine, am a certified massage therapist (2004), trained in Facial Rejuvenation and Facial Diagnosis, and completed my yoga teacher training in 2013.
At the heart of everything I do is a simple belief: healing happens when we listen deeply to the body, support it gently, and reconnect with the wisdom already within us.
