I WAS SHATTERED INTO A MILLION LITTLE PIECES.

BUT THANK GOD FOR THAT

BECAUSE WITHOUT THAT I WOULD NEVER BE THE BEAUTIFUL MOSAIC I AM TODAY.

— Dr. Elaine Thornton

MY STORY:

I grew up very sick but no one knew it. Chronic whole body pain, debilitating migraines, pins and needles in my feet, always cold, digestive issues, acne, allergies, asthma, the list goes on. Fortunately, or unfortunately, I always had a smile on my face so no one really knew how much pain I was in.

There were days I was convinced I would have done anything to make the physical, mental, and emotional pain stop. When I was old enough to understand that my pain wasn’t normal, I saw a slew of specialists and medical doctors. Many years, blood tests, MRIs, CT’s, ultrasounds, biopsies,  painful nerve testing, heart monitors, and hard conversations later

I was finally told-

“It’s in your head, there’s nothing wrong with you.”

And that was the best thing I could have ever heard. Because that’s when my paradigm shifted. I realized, the medical community, though well-intentioned, was limited in their belief system. That it wasn’t their responsibility to take care of my health as I had thought, it was mine.

So I had a choice, continue to live in pain, or find another way.

Thank God for my amazing mother who taught me:

“If you have your health, you have everything.”

I knew that living without my health wasn’t an option.

And I knew that if my version of healthcare couldn’t help me there must be something else.

When I was 20 years old I met the first doctor who educated me and empowered me. He was a chiropractor, and explained to me the simplest and most profound concept I have yet to learn, the concept that has changed my entire life and the lives of countless others:

THE NERVES IN YOUR BODY COMMUNICATE WITH THE BRAIN, AND WHEN THERE IS INTERFERENCE IN THE NERVOUS SYSTEM, YOUR BODY WILL NOT FUNCTION AS IT SHOULD. THAT MANIFESTS IN DIS-EASE: MIGRAINES, BODY PAIN, ASTHMA, ALLERGIES, DIGESTIVE ISSUES, SKIN ISSUES, LACK OF ENERGY ETC.

After one adjustment to remove interference from my nervous system -  I went from 3 migraines a week to none, I felt more energetic than I knew was even possible, like a little kid.

A few months later…

No more chronic pain, clearer skin, more emotional regulation, no inhaler, no allergy medication,

no more suicidal thoughts.

With a new lease on life, I explored the world, pursued my education, fell in love, had my heart broken, experienced more vibrancy in life than most people will ever get to, and experienced painful challenges fit for a scary movie- thankfully the kind with a good ending.

I like to think, I became a collector of life experience.

Collecting little pieces to build my Mosaic.

The Mosaic I chose to build from all these experiences looks like starting 2 mission-based companies by the age of 31, hosting and co-creating international retreats, workshops, and personal transformation events. I have shared my message on podcasts and masterminds in the US, Mexico, and Europe.

My clients are changing the world for the better and meeting life’s challenges with grace. And my faith in a high power has never been stronger as I witness their miracles every day.

AND BEST OF ALL

I HELP PURPOSE-BASED WORLD CHANGERS BUILD THEIR OWN MOSAICS TOO.

Because someone empowered me to take control of my health, I get to live a life of purpose, vibrancy, and love, and I want the same for you.

- Lots of love,

Dr. Elaine

    A deep fascination with the intricate connection between mind, body, and spirit is how my journey began. This curiosity was ignited by my own experience with addiction, chronic illness, chronic pain, mental health issues, hypersensitivity, toxic work environments, etc. It pushed me to explore beyond the realm of symptoms, asking big questions about root causes and the potential for holistic healing.

    Witnessing a profound shift in my father's battle with Alzheimer's disease further propelled this passion. His personality was briefly rekindled after becoming withdrawn through participation in holistic wellness practices. This is a powerful testament to the body's ability to heal and the transformative power of natural approaches. 

    Mosaic Methods, with its focus on integrating innate, gentle yet powerful practices for well-being, transformed every single aspect of my life. My path to becoming a practitioner was a natural evolution, informed by personal experience and a desire to empower others. As a certified Master Reiki practitioner, I have become more attuned to the subtle energetic body that connects each of us to our highest self.

    Today, I'm grateful to be building a practice in Jasper, AL, serving the surrounding communities. When I'm not guiding others on their wellness journeys, I find solace in various healing techniques, the rhythmic hum of nature, and the simple joys of gardening, raising chickens, and spending cherished moments with loved ones.

    My journey began in 2014 with unexpected experiences that sparked my curiosity about the mind-body connection and what makes us who we are. This fascination was fueled by my history of chronic illness, which led me on a winding journey leading me to explore the depths of the nervous system and emotional healing and celebrate the remarkable potential for transformation within each of us.

    Fueled by a desire to go beyond symptom management and delve into life's bigger questions, I was introduced to Dr. Elaine's Mosaic Methods and knew I was in the right place. This transformative approach sparked a passion within me, and today, I'm a proud practitioner, grateful to be building my practice here in Nashville.

    My mission is to empower others seeking fresh perspectives, enriching experiences, and a deeper connection to themselves and their world. When I'm not supporting clients, you can find me immersed in the beauty of nature or nurturing my love for all things botanical.
