I never imagined life could be how I’m living it today, building up a coaching, fitness, and travel platform with my partner, surrounded by a team of people whom I admire and respect, with clients that I love and can’t wait to continue getting to know. It certainly has been a long and winding road to get to this point – but I know we’re on the right path!
The idea of being an entrepreneur was never something I considered. During college, I found myself learning how to sell to the high profile clientele who came through the jewelry store where I was employed. Eventually I became store manager and worked there for many years. I envisioned a career path as an area manager, managing multiple stores, and set my sights on that.
One day friend invited me to a Pilates class – which I honestly thought was a late-night infomercial product. I was shocked after that class to find out that I loved it! I started taking a Pilates teacher training certification on nights and weekends – which is really where my life began to change.
After my certification I got a teaching position at a large, internationally-known fitness club in LA. Within a few weeks I had a full teaching schedule when my manager pulled me aside and asked me what I was doing that allowed me to fill my schedule. It dawned on me that I was using retail sales tactics. I knew how to talk to my clients, to understand what they wanted, and to sell it to them. I was just selling Pilates workouts now instead of thousand-dollar handbags.

More About Elise Bish:
Hi, I'm Elise. I have a courageous heart, a curious mind, and a deep desire to live a pleasurable life.
As a Desire Catalyst, my work stems from a range of modalities that centralize the wisdom of the body and its capacity to perceive, feel, and express. I approach desire from a multidimensional perspective, with consciousness at the core of my practice. I support my clients in weaving new levels of awareness through their mind, body, and spirit. In 2006 I focused my academic studies on sexuality and gender, earning my degree in Communications and Women & Gender Studies from Muhlenberg College in 2010. Since then I have studied with several leading sexuality experts.
I'm a Certified Urban Tantra® Practitioner and have received several years of mentorship, sacred sexuality training, and breathwork practice from best-selling author and sexuality educator, Barbara Carrellas. My training and education in Tantra have equipped me with the knowledge, skills, and courage to work with desire, sexuality, consent, and sensual experiences.In 2014, I witnessed the tremendous healing power of Systemic Family Constellations and immediately felt the potential that the modality has for healing generations of sexual shame. I've completed five years of training and certification with renowned facilitators and trainers, Dan Cohen and Emily Blefeld, with the intention of bringing deeper systemic shifts around how we relate to ourselves as sexual beings. Constellation work helps us to shed the echoes, impacts, and overculture of oppression s
