Being unschooled in Buddhist teachings and never having experienced this school of meditation I was planning to do my own thing. I did do my own thing, meditate, but was surprised at how warm and inviting the energy is here. I have since let go of some of my resistance to following the crowd due purely to their acceptance of me where I am. The space itself is austere with high ceilings and natural light. The cushions are comfy. The atmosphere created by the simple structure of the sit gives room to get into a deep inner place. The conversation at the end if the sit feels communal and more like fellowship than a lesson or instruction. There is plenty of street parking as well as a rough gravel parking lot. Make sure to get there on time on weeknights because the building is locked. The fee is donations​ or membership and the staff is volunteer based. Everyone obviously loves what they do. Their acceptance, openness, and wholesomeness make them a great addition to the community.

I personally have a lot of jaw and face tension, and have been trying to find a place that offers that type of massage. Thank goodness for The Lotus Room! I will definitely be back.

I don't know what it is but Durden's classes are so different than any classes I have ever taken.

Every class feels so magical, and somehow takes me far away from my problems and worries. You need to experience her classes for yourself. I promise you will feel the magic too!

I've followed Elaine's work for over 10 years, so finally being able to work with her 1:1 truly…read morefelt like a dream come true. It's difficult to fully explain what happens during a session with her because the experience is so unique and deeply personal. I'm someone who usually prefers structure, plans, and clear expectations but this work didn't operate that way and requires you to submit and trust the process, as elusive as that sounds. I wasn't even super clear on what I wanted to work on initially, I just knew I was at a crossroads. However, reflecting back, the changes that occurred were profound, rapid, and largely unconscious/unintentional. I wouldn't have even necessarily been able to define what I wanted to change or heal until suddenly things had lifted and I realized how different I felt and was operating only in hindsight. Elaine was able to identify and clear emotional blocks I had carried since early childhood; including a heaviness and melancholy I didn't even realize had become part of my normal baseline until it was gone. One of the biggest shifts I noticed was in my nervous system and emotional reactivity. I used to experience an immediate stress response to even minor external triggers and would absorb other people's negative energy very deeply. Now, I still recognize others' emotions without carrying them as my own and can operate with boundaries in such an effortless manner. The difference is hard to describe unless you've experienced it yourself, but it feels lighter, calmer, and effortless. I also have reconnected to faith, feel more connected to joy, more confident, and far more certain in myself and my decisions. I no longer seek constant external validation or second guess my path. Elaine has helped me recognize gifts and purpose within myself that I'm now actively developing with a level of clarity and confidence I never had before and business related ideas are currently "pouring" out of me. Another unexpected shift is after four years on anti-anxiety medication, I unintentionally weaned off completely just naturally through the internal changes that occurred during this work. It was not even conscious or effortful nor was medication even something I had discussed with Elaine. These are just some of the changes I experienced that are perhaps most relatable for a review. I know some of this may sound elusive but if you're unfamiliar with her work, but if you're here reading reviews, you probably already have some "knowing" and inner sense of why you found her. You don't need any convincing but maybe a little reassurance. A few things I initially had questions about since I personally typically comb through reviews as "due diligence" before making a big commitment to something. 1.) Her prerequisite readings are important. This work is not passive, and having foundational understanding before hand allows sessions to go much deeper. 2.) Her fees initially made me hesitant. But after working with her, I completely understand why. She gives an extraordinary amount of time, energy, care, and presence to her clients far beyond the session itself. This is not a "clock in, clock out" experience. When I compare it to the money I've spent over the years trying to fill internal voids through therapy, self-help, vacations, material things, medications, or temporary coping tools, the investment now feels incredibly worthwhile. Most importantly, Elaine never operates from fear, pressure, or manipulation. There is never any "you need to pay more to fix/save yourself" energy that you hear about in exploitative psychic scams with continually escalating payment demands. She is grounded, genuine, transparent, and deeply gifted at what she does and trustworthy. She is not a hard-sell type of healer at all. But if the timing aligns and you have the opportunity to work with her, I genuinely believe it is an investment you will not regret. I waited 10 years, and it exceeded every expectation I had!

From the moment the session began, I felt her powerful, loving energetic presence move through me--like a warm current washing away years of tension. She gently guided me inward, and in that space, she helped reveal aspects of myself that would play a role in my life's purpose...so once a foggy question mark of what I think I could do, came into sharp, undeniable focus. She also, without a single prompt, described the hidden struggles of my specific family members--details no one outside my family could know. Just truly incredible! If you're seeking anxiety relief, deeper self-awareness, true direction, or genuine spiritual exploration, go to her. Bring an open heart and leave transformed. I walked in unsure, I walked out whole and on purpose. LIFE CHANGING! I can't recommend her highly enough!
