At Under The Elder Tree, I'm focused on providing

educated, friendly, safe products & services

that you can feel secure about. 

​

I'm Carrie Eller  LMT, BCTMB,

Certified Aromatherapist,

Professional Herbalist,

Reiki Master, Aura Reader,

the owner, founder & 

Obsessive Creatrix.

​​

The world has always been a bit too much for me, 

so, I escaped through books.

Since I learned to read, I spent my childhood 

devouring my grandmother's library chock full of 

Alternative & Natural Healing, Medical Textbooks,

Personal Development, Philosophy, Nutrition, Psychology & Spirituality.

My Father's EMT training manuals were a source of fascination!

And the Paradox bookstore supplied me with hundreds

more historic medical & healing books.

All these reference sources have 

overlapped & melded together to bring 

about my viewpoint of multi-dimensional,

dynamic, body wide healing.  

​

And it is all so fascinating to me!

​

As a child, I had debilitating sensory processing issues.

I was extremely sensitive to smells- almost crippling at times.

However, as I grew up, this disorder has become somewhat

of a superpower.  I can isolate thousands of scents & tastes

and somehow, innately know precisely how

herbs & oils bloom & meld together

to create uniquely dynamic & alluring 

flavor & aroma compounds.

Sometimes, I swear my blends create themselves!

​

 My own poor party lifestyle choices in young adulthood

         led to some pretty significant health crises in my body.

It was then that I started putting

my knowledge to work on my self. 

The healing results gave me 

                  the confidence to start thinking about helping others.

That was 26 years ago. 

​​

     I was gifted a Massage as a

Christmas present in the year 2000.

I had never had one, but within 10 minutes of

being on that table, I knew, without a doubt,

that was what I was supposed 

to be doing in life!

Within 2 weeks of that session, I was signed up for 

Massage Therapy School.

To me, it seemed like a centralized point that would 

anchor all the various things I had been studying for so long!

I literally had an epiphany on that Massage Table.

And it changed my life.

I have no doubt that I was born to do this. 

​

My upbringing instilled a strong belief 

that "We are our brother's keeper" &

" To whom much is given, much is required".

It was only right that my compulsive need to 

amass all this knowledge be put to 

use helping others! 

 

I've been practicing Massage Therapy around

Wheeling & Virginia Beach since 2001

and my lifetime of study &

       a multitude of random courses & certifications

   led me to opening Under The Elder Tree

in Spring of 2014.

​

After having thousands of people

come through my shop,

I have come to know well

the ailments & body complaints

that the people of the Valley

tend to suffer from.

 

I've worked hard to safely 

bridge the gap between the Allopathic Medicines

you are already utilizing & 

the Natural herbal remedies you would like to try. 

​

It's extremely important to know 

what prescriptions & supplements you are on, 

what your health history is, what emotions are

tied into your issues & what your 

lifestyle looks like so the right recommendations

can be made without negative interactions.  

And always remember, just because it's

natural, doesn't mean it can't harm!

​

With the appropriate guidance

you too can incorporate more natural 

healing options into your life.

​

This highly personalized guidance

 is the reason why so many 

local professionals send people our way

& why so many customers & clients put 

their trust - and their health in my,

and my staff's 

 caring, trained hands.

​

Come and see the difference 

educated advice

can make in your life.

​

Come for the Counsel &

Stay for the Community.

 

Health & Wellness Care Tailored to You-

In Body, Mind & Spirit!
